As one of China’s few fortepianists, Wang Yuehan considers it her responsibility to introduce the ancient instrument to the public and help audience better understand its appeal through her performances.

“When I play Mozart’s music on the fortepiano, it authentically brings back the music of his time to me,” Wang told Shanghai Daily. “I feel like I am communicating with the great musicians in person. The fortepiano helps me to better understand the reason and logic of their composition.”

Featuring a softer sound and smaller frame, fortepiano is a piano used in the mid-18th to early-19th century, for which composers of the classical era, especially Haydn, Mozart, and the younger Beethoven wrote their piano music.The earlier fortepiano became obsolete in the late 19th due to its demanding craftsmanship and high cost. It was revived in the 20th century following the rise of interest in historically informed performance.

Wang’s interest toward fortepiano was cultivated when she was studying at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music in the United States.

“I was attracted to its timbre,” she said. “The sound is warm and intimate.

“Also, fortepiano doesn’t have a strict tutorial. My teachers also did research and explored the way of playing fortepiano themselves. There is no authority. The learning progress becomes an exploration on my initiative.”
