Post by Johan van Veen
- JL Dussek: Piano Sonatas Op. 9, The Sufferings of the Queen of
France Op. 23
- Pinto: "Complete Piano Music" Marek Toporowski, fortepiano
"Gottlieb Muffat meets Handel - Works for Harpsichord" Flóra Fábri,
harpsichord

Nice to see these. I have Muffat's Handel fugues in sheet music but
wasn't aware of the suites. Pinto benefits from old-style instruments
even if van Veen finds Toporowski's choices inapt. (I believe the
sonatas Fukuda recorded for Olympia were performed on an 1807 Broadwood.)

The Queen of France's demise can seem comical but I found Staier
properly frightening.
