Maestro Bruno Rigacci, pianist and conductor, gave the first music example proving the superiority of C=256 over A=440 playing the first few bars of Bellini's soprano aria "Casta diva," from the opera Norma first on a piano which had been tuned to C=256 for the conference, and then on the A=440 concert piano. Verdi baritone Piero Cappuccilli demonstrated the difference between the Verdi tuning and today's higher pitch by singing two Verdi arias in the two tunings.
