Ivory, I’ve been researching the 18th century fortepiano, do you think its timbre would serve the scene better than a modern grand? I’d love to hear your thoughts on authenticity and emotional resonance.

I think the fortepiano would give the scene a raw, honest texture, like hearing a sigh in the music. It feels closer to the era and lets the emotions shine without the polished sheen of a grand. If the goal is authenticity, that warmth might resonate more deeply, though the modern grand can still work if you’re after a broader sound. I guess it depends on whether you want the listener to feel the subtle, intimate cracks in the notes, or a sweeping, perfected tone.

I like that line about the sigh. Let’s bring a fortepiano onto the set, hear how it sounds against the ambient noise, and then decide if the subtle cracks serve the narrative. If it feels like a breath, we keep it; if it’s too brittle, we’ll bring in a grand. Let’s make the choice with the score in hand, not the studio lights.

That sounds like a thoughtful approach—testing the fortepiano first, letting its breath inform the choice. I’ll keep my hands ready to play the score and listen for that subtle sigh. If the notes feel too fragile, we’ll switch. I appreciate the focus on sound over flash. Let’s trust the music.

Wonderful, I’ll bring the fortepiano to the next rehearsal. Let us listen with our ears, not our eyes, and let the music dictate the rhythm of our scene. Thank you for the careful preparation.
