Although the emerging fortepiano offered enticing modes of expre ssion and timbre\, there was not a sudden turn of favor for one instrument over the other. Demand for the harpsichord and its music continued throug hout much of the late 18th century\, even during critical moments in the d evelopment of the fortepiano. In fact\, as the century progressed\, keyboa rd music up through the time of Mozart\, frequently deferred the choice of instrument to the player. In Potsdam\, at Frederick the Great’s jewel-l ike Sans Souci palace\, it was a fortepiano which beckoned the attention o f J.S. Bach during a visit with his son Carl Philipp Emanuel. At the cross roads of rivalry and musical compatibility\, the duo concertos of Tapray & amp\; Bach are a delightful joust between ancient and modern. The result i s a friendly competition in virtuosity which equally celebrates the sounds cape of both instruments and embraces the endless variety of color and con trast brought by quills and hammers. \n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.earlymusicamerica.org/wp-content/upl oads/2025/01/Adele-Romany-Portrait-of-a-Lady-at-a-Pianoforte-Boston-Museum -of-Fine-Arts.jpg CATEGORIES:Concerts LOCATION:The Historic Church of St. Mary the Virgin\, 191 South Greeley Ave nue\, Chappaqua\, New York\, 10514\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=191 South Greeley Avenue\, Chappaqua\, New York\, 10514\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Th e Historic Church of St. Mary the Virgin:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20241103T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
