The first complete (excepting the yet-unwritten fifth movement) performance of the Requiem in London, in July 1871 at the home of Sir Henry Thompson and his wife, the pianist Kate Loder (Lady Thompson), utilized this piano-duet accompaniment (and was, incidentally, sung in English).
I can only find this so it looks as if 1871 is the correct answer0 -
Thursdays answer Piano?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Brahms
"Johann Jakob gave his son his first musical training. He studied piano from the age of seven with Otto Friedrich Willibald Cossel. Brahms showed early promise (his younger brother Fritz also became a pianist) and helped to supplement the rather meager family income by playing the piano in restaurants and theaters, as well as by teaching"0 -

Well you've done better than me, I can't find anything. Do you think they mean this particular recording, rather than originally?
Anyway, I'm putting Grand, spent too much time looking.
Its weekly this as well by the look of it.0 -

From http://www.allegro-music.com/classical.asp and http://www.the-sixteen.org.uk/recordings/coro_50.phpIt is thus appropriate that the piano used on this recording is a Bösendorfer of 1872.
Bösendorfer is the name of the piano's manufacturer, not the name of the specific instrument, but it's the closest I can find.0
