Full Moon - CD

By Diana Weston, Michael Tsalka

Regular price $25.00 Sale


   Classical and contemporary music for square piano and harpsichord.

   Michael Tsalka: Piano forte primo, harpsichord I
   Diana Weston: Piano forte secondo, harpsichord II

In the making of this album, our purpose was to bring to light a long-forgotten and yet highly significant instrument that was the ‘square’ piano - specifically the English square piano. We wanted to demonstrate a little of its nature, to outline its relevance in social history, to let you hear its voice. To do this, we are fortunate to have available a relevant instrument – a Robertson c. 1835 partially restored square piano crafted in Liverpool. In the recording, music from its era (late eighteenth to early nineteenth century), is interspersed with newly created pieces that are sympathetic to its variable sounds and registers, that is, its limitations and virtues.
