Melvyn Tan
In 1817, John Broadwood and Sons, the famous firm of London piano makers, sent Beethoven a present - their most modern piano. Beethoven was delighted with his gift, which inspired some of his greatest works. In 1991, the instrument was restored, and Melvyn Tan was invited to give a series of concerts on it. He talks to Joan Bakewell about this exciting project.
