N.B.1: Beethoven composed the first three movements of the Hammerklavier sonata

for a Graf fortepiano, the last movement for a Broadwood.

Tom Beghin demonstrates the differences by playing the third and fourth movements

on copies of the respective instruments.

N.B.2: Ries, Kalkbrenner and Cramer were three of the pianists who selected

the Broadwood which Beethoven was to receive in 1818.
