Paul McNulty fortepianos. Part 3/4 (A. Walter ca 1792)

V. Sofronitsky and R. Brautigam playing fortepianos by Paul McNulty after Anton Walter (1752 - 1826), who had the title of "Chamber Organ Builder and Instrument Maker in Vienna", is considered to be the most famous fortepiano maker of his time. He improved the Viennese pianoforte action, which remained a standard for many years. He built about 700 instruments, which were praised for their quality by Mozart, who bought a Walter in 1782, and by Beethoven, who nearly succeeded in buying one in1802. McNulty fortepianos are owned by many fine players and feature in many recordings
