  • 1785-1998 September 1998
    THE EVOLUTION OF THE BROADWOOD GRAND PIANO 1785-1998 by Alastair Laurence DPhil. University of York Department of Music September 1998 Broadwood Grand Piano of 1801 (Finchcocks Collection, Goudhurst, Kent) Abstract: The Evolution of the Broadwood Grand Piano, 1785-1998 This dissertation describes the way in which one company's product - the grand piano - evolved over a period of two hundred and thirteen years. The account begins by tracing the origins of the English grand, then proceeds with a description of the earliest surviving models by Broadwood, dating from the late eighteenth century. Next follows an examination of John Broadwood and Sons' piano production methods in London during the early nineteenth century, and the transition from small-scale workshop to large factory is noted. The dissertation then proceeds to record in detail the many small changes to grand design which took place as the nineteenth century progressed, ranging from the extension of the keyboard compass, to the introduction of novel technical features such as the famous Broadwood barless steel frame. The dissertation concludes by charting the survival of the Broadwood grand piano since 1914, and records the numerous difficulties which have faced the long-established company during the present century. The unique feature of this dissertation is the way in which much of the information it contains has been collected as a result of the writer's own practical involvement in piano making, tuning and restoring over a period of thirty years; he has had the opportunity to examine many different kinds of Broadwood grand from a variety of historical periods.

  • The Rhine River Crossings by Barry W
    The Rhine River Crossings by Barry W. Fowle Each of the Allied army groups had made plans for the Rhine crossings. The emphasis of Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) planning was in the north where the Canadians and British of Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery's 21st Army Group were to be the first across, followed by the Ninth United States Army, also under Montgomery. Once Montgomery crossed, the rest of the American armies to the south, 12th Army Group under General Omar N. Bradley and 6th Army Group under General Jacob L. Devers, would cross. On 7 March 1945, all that Slegburg changed.

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Ludwig Van Beethoven Franz Schubert
    Die Frage, wie kommt Riedlingen an zwei so hochkarätige Solisten für die doch kleinen Galeriekonzerte, muss beantwortet werden. Zentrale Stelle ist Prof. Dr. Edward Swen- son (USA), der schon wiederholt in Riedlingen war und mit seinem Vortrag „Conrad Graf und seine Kundschaft in Europa“ die Besucher begeisterte. Begleitet wurde er damals von Stefania Neonato, die sich aus der Zeit bei Malcolm Bilson an der Ithaca Universität kannten. Prof. Malcolm Bilson, der sich auf einer Europareise befindet und. in Wien und Budapest konzertiert, konnte für die Idee gewonnen werden, zusammen mit Stefania Neonato in der Geburtsstadt des Conrad Graf auf einem Original- Instrument zu konzertieren. Die beiden Künstler stellten speziell für Riedlingen und den vorhandenen Hammerflügel ein fulminantes Konzert - Programm für zwei- und vier Hände zusammen. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Bei allem Bemühen kann man zwischen Mozart und Riedlingen keine Verbindungen nachweisen. Mozart gehört zu den Pionieren der vierhändigen Klavierkomposition; die Anregung dazu erhielt er zweifellos durch das gemeinsame Musizieren mit seiner Schwester am Cembalo. Bereits als Neunjähriger schreibt Mozart Stücke für sich und seine fünf Jahre ältere Schwester und er gilt weithin als Erfinder dieser Gattung – auch wenn tatsächlich schon Komponisten vor ihm, etwa Johann Christian Bach, sich diesem Genre widmeten. Die B-Dur Sonate KV 358 zählt zu den ersten nachweisbaren echten Werken Mozarts für Klavier vierhändig. (Anja Renczikowski) Ludwig van Beethoven Gegen Ende 1825 hat Conrad Graf Beethoven leihweise einen vierchörigen Flügel zur Verfügung gestellt. Nach Beethovens Tod hat Graf sein Instrument wieder zurückgenommen und später verkauft (heute im Beethovenhaus Bonn). Vielleicht hat Beethoven für die Überlassung seines Flügels Graf insofern gedankt, als er ihm das Autograph seiner Klaviersonate in e-Moll, Op.
