The pianos of famous composers are well preserved in museums. Here are just a few of them:
- Mozart's piano can be found at his home in Vienna.
- Chopin's only working piano can be found as part of the Cobbe collection of musical instruments displayed at Hatchlands, a country house run by Britain's National Trust in the southern English county of Surrey. Chopin's other pianos in Paris and Majorca do not work.
- At the Budapest museum dedicated to Liszt are two Chickering pianos and a Bösendorfer piano. There's also an Erard grand piano owned by Liszt during the last 15 years of his life at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
- You can find one of Beethoven's piano in Bonn at the museum dedicated to him.
Nice. Wonder how current pianists will feel playing on these preserved pianos. Ha.
