Decadent piano design (was : piano, piano-forte,forte-piano ...)

[VOCE88 at aol.com]

Dear Philippe,

J'espère que vous appréciez la saison de Printemps. 

I think it refers to the elaboarate art cases that were popular a century ago 
and were best made by Erard, Gaveau, and Pleyel, IMHO.

All the best,

Hello Bob, 

I have taken a look on this Cantos Museum website, and found the following 
sentence in the virtual gallery, in the desciption for "Sebastian Erard, Grand 
piano" : "The French were known for their decadent piano designs"... Does 
anyone have an idea why it is so ?

regards,

Philippe Errembault
