5:36  01   Rondino on the Cavatine "Ist Mir Gleich Hienieden" from Halevy's opera "Die Dreizehn" 7-octave Ignace Pleyel, 1847 built by Ronald Brautigam. Performed by Stephen Heller. (From a museum recording in Holland, Brautigam plays little-known works from a private manuscript collection).
7:31  02   Sonata in A major, D. 664, 1st movement 6.5-octave Gottlieb Hafner, ca. 1830, restored by Edwin Beunk. 7.27. Performed by Malcolm Bilson, Schubert. From Hungarton HCD 31589

10:23  04   Sonata in C major, Op. 53, 1st movement 6-octave 1816 Salvatore LaGrassa, restored by Edwin Beunk. Performed by Bart van Oort. Composed by Beethoven. From Claves 50-9707-10 (Does the cross-strung bass of the Steinway system represent a plus or a minus for this much-played work?)
3:33  05   Sonata in F minor, Op. 2/1, 1st movement 5.5 octave 1790 Anton Walter replica by Paul McNulty. Malcolm Bilson playing. Composed by Beethoven. Claves 50-9707-10.
4:30  06   Sonata in f minor, Op. 13/6, 1st movement 5.5-octave 1799 Longman & Clementi, replica by Chris Maene. Liv Glasser performing. Clementi. From Simax PSC 1258 (The early English pianos, in stark contrast to their Viennese counterparts, had inefficient "feather-duster" dampers for the increased resonance they favored; listen to the long pedalled effects in this performance, unthinkable on either a contemporary Walter or a Steinway of today.)
