Daily News | What is that strange new piano at Philly’s Kimmel Center, and why is it here?
From one angle, the newest musical instrument at the Kimmel Center looks like a classic grand piano — big, sleek and glossy-black. But then you look down at the keys and sense that something is amiss. The keyboard is curved, its keys oriented ever-so-slightly toward the pianist’s hands.The instrument arrived at the Kimmel last week as a bittersweet postscript.
The idea for an alternative piano design emerged at a 2016 dinner party at Daniel Barenboim’s house in Berlin. Rafael Viñoly was there, as was Martha Argerich, “and they were talking about the specific physiological challenges of being a pianist,” said Román Viñoly.
Biss emphasized that hearing the piano in a low-ceiling room was limiting in terms of assessing it, but he said the sound was “effortlessly powerful without being harsh.”
