Also, I remember watching a doco a while ago about Chopin. At one point they showed his piano, which still exists, and an interesting feature of it was that the keys were narrower than the keys on a modern piano. Which might explain all those crazy-huge intervals you find in Romantic piano music. Or not, I dunno.

pwhodges:
The change in key width isn't enough to make an appreciable difference, I think.
