  • Piano Manufacturing an Art and a Craft
    Nikolaus W. Schimmel Piano Manufacturing An Art and a Craft Gesa Lücker (Concert pianist and professor of piano, University for Music and Drama, Hannover) Nikolaus W. Schimmel Piano Manufacturing An Art and a Craft Since time immemorial, music has accompanied mankind. The earliest instrumentological finds date back 50,000 years. The first known musical instrument with fibers under ten sion serving as strings and a resonator is the stick zither. From this small beginning, a vast array of plucked and struck stringed instruments evolved, eventually resulting in the first stringed keyboard instruments. With the invention of the hammer harpsichord (gravi cembalo col piano e forte, “harpsichord with piano and forte”, i.e. with the capability of dynamic modulation) in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori toward the beginning of the eighteenth century, the pianoforte was born, which over the following centuries evolved into the most versitile and widely disseminated musical instrument of all time. This was possible only in the context of the high level of devel- opment of artistry and craftsmanship worldwide, particu- larly in the German-speaking part of Europe. Since 1885, the Schimmel family has belonged to a circle of German manufacturers preserving the traditional art and craft of piano building, advancing it to ever greater perfection. Today Schimmel ranks first among the resident German piano manufacturers still owned and operated by Contents the original founding family, now in its fourth generation. Schimmel pianos enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide. 09 The Fascination of the Piano This booklet, now in its completely revised and 15 The Evolution of the Piano up dated eighth edition, was first published in 1985 on The Origin of Music and Stringed Instruments the occa sion of the centennial of Wilhelm Schimmel, 18 Early Stringed Instruments – Plucked Wood Pianofortefa brik GmbH.

  • Manual Pitch to Drop
    PITCH RAISING Your piano, just like every piano, is designed to sound its best when tuned to A-440 (the A above middle C vibrates at 440 cycles per second), the international pitch standard. It has been designed to perform at a specific tension, and when strings stretch beyond, or drop below this tension, pitch adjustments are required to bring it back to A-440. It’s important to remember that maintaining your piano at standard pitch allows you to play along with other instruments which are all designed to this same standard. Through neglect, pianos may deviate from this standard, making them unsuitable to play with other instruments and causing them to lose market value. In addition, lower pitched instruments can compromise the pianist’s ear training. It’s important to note that pianos do not go flat or sharp uniformly. Some strings will invariably change more than others. If I Haven’t Had My Piano Tuned Regularly, MANUAL How Can I Get it Back in Good Playing Condition? After years of regular use, your piano may have fallen silent when the family member who studied moved away from home. Though your home is no longer filled with music, it’s important to remember your piano is still a living, breathing thing. Its wood continues to expand and contract with seasonal changes in temperature and humidity, and the string tension also fluctuates accordingly. If your piano has gone without tuning for an extended period, its pitch may have dropped far below the pitch at which it was designed to perform.

Borger, Texas August, 1953 223569 PREFACE The aim of this thesis is to present a survey of Swedish vocal music, a subject upon which nothing in English exists and very little in Swedish. Because of this lack of material the writer, who has spent a year (195152) of research in music in Sweden, through the generosity of Mrs. Alice M. Roberts, the Texas Wesleyan Academy, and the Texas Swedish Cultural Foundation, has been forced to rely for much of his information on oral communication from numerous critics, composers, and per- formers in and around Stockholm. This accounts for the paucity of bibliographical citations. Chief among the authorities consulted was Gsta Percy, Redaktionssekreterare (secretary to the editor), of Sohlmans Jusiklexikon, who gave unstintedly, not only of his vast knowledge, but of his patience and enthusiasm.

  • Competitiveness in the Music Industry a Study of the Swedish Music Companies
    J ÖNKÖPING I NTERNATIONAL B USINESS S C H O O L JÖNKÖPING UNIVERSITY Competitiveness in the Music Industry A study of the Swedish Music Companies Paper within Business Administration Author: Anders Berg Jörgen Fransson Fredrik Sörendal Tutor: Elena Raviola & Annette Johansson Jönköping January 2007 Bachelor thesis in Business Administration Title: Competitiveness in the Music Industry: A study of the Swedish Music Companies Authors: Berg, Anders; Fransson, Jörgen; Sörendal, Fredrik Tutors: Raviola, Elena and Johansson, Anette Date: 2007-01-15 Subject terms: Technological Change, Sustainable Competitive Advantage, the Music Companies. Abstract Problem: The music industry has experienced a significant technological change, leav- ing the music companies with a new way of distributing music. The sale of physical products (i.e. the CD) has decreased, and the industry has seen a steady increase in digital music. In this period of technological change, how are the four major music companies, EMI, SonyBMG, Warner Music Group and Universal Music to create a competitive advantage? Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to study and analyze how the traditional music companies are creating a sustainable competitive advantage in a technologi- cally changing environment. Method: A qualitative approach, following the logic of a case study, has been used to answer the purpose. Interviews with new media managers at the four major music companies have been conducted. Furthermore, an interview with the mobile phone operator 3 was conducted since the company is one of the biggest customers to the music companies using the new technology. In or- der to avoid a biased study, we also interviewed Robert Picard at JIBS and Kris Serian at Warner Home Video who both have extensive experience in the media industry.

  • A Projected Volume on Nordic New Music
    A Projected Volume on Nordic New Music John D. White, Evergreen, CO Since 1986, from my home base at the University of Florida and abroad, I have been exploring the new music of the Nordic countries. Having recently held a Fulbright Fellowship to Reykja- vik and even more recently an American Scandinavian Foundation Fellowship to Gothenburg, I came to the conclusion that a book about Nordic new music was needed. Early on I realized that it was too big a task for one person, so over the past year I have enlisted the help of four co-au- thors and the book, tentatively entitled New Music of the Nordic Countries, will be in five Parts each authored by one of us. I will also serve as Editor, and the book is contracted for publication in the year 2001 by Pendragon Press of Stuyvesant, New York, Robert Kessler, Managing Editor. Bound together philosophically, geographically, and to a significant extent ethnically, the five Nordic countries hold a unique place in today’s world. There is no other group of several con- tiguous nations which have so much in common culturally, politically and economically; and there are no other countries on this Earth which seem to get along so well together as these five sovereign states of the far north. They are peopled by talented humane achievers, not least in the fine arts, yet each national aspect of this pentagon possesses its own special qualities. This is cer- tainly true of music, yet little of Nordic “tone art” is widely known outside of Northern Europe, especially music of the late twentieth century.
