The "beloved" in the title is what the audience thinks of the composer Mozart, what the performer thinks of Mozart's works, and what Mozart thinks of his instruments. Anton Walter was an important luthier in the second half of the 18th century, and his instruments were loved by composers such as Mozart and Beethoven. Mozart owned a Walther piano in 1783, which became the only piano he used in public recitals. Playing Mozart's works with Mozart's favorite piano tone in those days seems to give us a new opportunity, an opportunity to break the barriers of time and space, and have a glimpse of history.
