About

On this recording the sonatas in D, G, C and F are performed on a fortepiano by Johann Schantz now in the Holburne Museum in Bath. It is thought to have been built in 1795 and is one of four surviving examples; there are two in Vienna and another in a private collection.

The E-flat and A-flat major sonatas are performed on a delightful unnamed fortepiano in the remarkable private collection of Michael Turner. The instrument, a wreck when first discovered, was restored by Michael Cole. The instrument is thought to be Northern Italian and around 1790 or even earlier.
