This week pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim has been appearing in four concerts at London’s Royal Festival Hall, performing the complete piano sonatas (11 of them – from memory) of Franz Schubert.<\/p>\n

What makes this series even more special is that Mr Barenboim has been performing on piano that he has co-designed and which\u00a0took 4,000 man-hours and 18 months to complete. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The piano is described as having a “beautiful and individual clarity of tone” and it is thought, would lend itself well to the music of Bach, Haydn Mozart and Beethoven.<\/p>\n
