JUDD, Assistant Manager *UHE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS QOMETIMES people who want a Steinway think it economi- cal to buy a cheaper piano in the beginning and wait for a Steinway. Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt at his Steinway and convenience a Steinway can be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!" You may purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of 10%, and the bal- ance will be extended over a period of two years.

While tympanic reproduction has been very successful, its success has limited the ways in which music reproduction is popularly imagined and discussed. This thesis explores the history of “re-performance,” an alternative mode of reproduction epitomized by the early twentieth-century player piano. It begins with a discussion of nineteenth-century piano recorders and the historical role of material representation in the production of music.

Biographical Sketch Clarinetist, composer and ethnomusicologist Elliot Weisgarber (December 5, 1919 - December 31, 2001) was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He studied clarinet and composition at the Eastman School of Music where he earned his Bachelor and Masters degrees in music as well as a Performer's Certificate in clarinet. Following his graduation in 1943, Weisgarber spent one year teaching at Colby Junior College in New Hampshire before moving on to a sixteen-year career at the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina. In 1960, he was invited to join the faculty of the newly- formed music department at the University of British Columbia. Weisgarber's relocation to the west coast helped nourish his well-developed interest in Asian cultures and he spent a great deal of time in Japan studying the classical music of that country and, in particular, developing expertise in shakuhachi (vertical bamboo flute) playing.

  • Games, Ghosts, and Glamour
    Games, Ghosts, and Glamour: The Player Piano in Domestic America, 1890-1930 Devanney Haruta An honors thesis for the Brown University Music Department November 29, 2016 Primary Reader: Dana Gooley Secondary Readers: Anne Searcy, Joshua Tucker 1 PRELUDE Keyboards are all around us, on our cell phones and laptops, mediating our writing, our correspondence, our digital expression, and accompanying our communication with audible punctuations of sound. Alphanumeric keys read digital input and produce sound in digital and mechanical output. The player piano, a mechanical musical instrument from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, utilized a similar keyboard interface. With its humming pneumatics and predetermined sequence of musical pitches, the instrument can teach us about our modern interactions with technologies that produce sound both within and outside of our immediate control. How we interact with both modern digital and historic instrument technologies reveals the importance of physical objects in our lives, and can even teach us about our modes of interaction as well as about ourselves as humans. The player piano is an instrument that became commercially widespread across the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The instrument walks a hazy boundary between interactive musical interface and independently controlled music player, simultaneously reinforcing and challenging the piano’s established identity in the American domestic space. The player piano is an intriguing historical object, but what is its relevance to contemporary musicology? Understanding the player piano’s identity as a musical interface, a body of control, and a cultural symbol sheds light on modern musicology, organology, and technology studies.
