I'm fairly aching to hear some music played on one of these instruments. As for the picture of Beethoven, I wondered the same thing, looking at photos of some fortepiano recreations.

In contrast, Bilson feels that modern pianos, by their very nature, encourage us to play almost everything legato except notes explicitly marked stacato , though he thinks it's relatively easy to play in a "detached" fashion even on modern instruments. In my own poor playing, I find it hard to create much of a distinction between slurred passages and unmarked ones. I've been meaning to ask my teacher to demonstrate the difference.
