The pianoforte van Casteel is one of the most important pieces from the Museum's collection. In order to mark the 250 years of its construction, it is now the chosen piece of the month. 

To illustrate this instrument, we leave  a video in which José Carlos Araújo speaks about the pianoforte van Casteel, in a recital at Museum of Music at International Music Day 2013.

Another video from the Publico's journalist Vera Coutinho, about the pianoforte van Casteel  can be enjoyed at the link below. In this video, it is possible to listen to the van Casteel's pianoforte performed by José Carlos Araújo:
