| « The perfection of Erard‘s pianos has reached a level that puts him a century ahead of his time, it can‘t be described, you have to see, hear, and play yourself » Adam Liszt to Czerny, Sept 1824 « I don’t ever want to hear again that the piano can’t be used in a large concert hall, that the sound doesn’t carry, that the nuances get lost, etc… I will take for proof the 3000 individuals who filled the huge Scala Theatre last night […] and who admired the slightest details of your beautiful instrument […] never before has a piano produced such an effect » Franz Liszt to Pierre Erard, 11 Dec 1837 « The contribution you have made by the perfection of your instruments to my playing, and by the beauty of their sound to my imagination, is as great as are your kindness and friendship of which I have received such proof - this last [Erard had just given Mendelssohn a grand piano] is but another example » Mendelssohn to Pierre Erard, 18 Dec 1839 |
