The instrument is the Walter fortepiano from Pianoteq from 1790, so a very modern instrument given the context of this composition which was before 1794. Gurliyov (1770-1844) was a renowned Russian musician and composer of church music and liturgical works in the Italian style fashionable at the period. Father of pianist and composer Aleksander Gurilyov, he was a violin player and kapellmeister in the orchestra of Count Vladimir Grigorievich Orlov. He was a pupil of Giuseppe Sarti, he also studied music under the guidance of Irish composer John Field. I decided not to repeat the second part and also not to play the 2nd and 3rd movement (can be downloaded on imslp) because I simply think they are much less interesting than this great first movement.
