As I'm sure you can appreciate given your example, the fortepiano is a good illustration of why the "historical" approach is not without controversy. In the opinion of many, the modern piano is far better suited to the modern large concert hall, and at least in my opinion, it is also better suited to the recording studio. But it sure is interesting to hear Beethoven piano sonatas played on a fortepiano with leather hammers, isn't it? And there are some fine fortepiano players around today.
Beethoven himself was supposedly frustrated with the lack of power of the fortepiano and early pianos of his day, and I suspect would have been very happy with the modern piano had he lived to play them.
