Abstrakt(y)
What are the acoustic properties of the grand piano on which Leoš Janáček wrote most of his compositions? The paper describes the analysis of 2 instruments: renovated Janáček's Ehrbar and the Bösendorfer 185 VC. The double decay time was measured only at the Ehrbar, dynamic ranges and spectra of both instruments were measured and compared with each other. For the analysis, individual tones but also excerpts from the cycle On an Overgrown Path played by the pianist were selected. For accuracy, the room reverberations, where grand pianos were recorded, were also measured.
