  • Histoire De La Marque Feurich
    L’histoire de la marque Les maîtres du Piano ont choisi de défendre les pianos Feurich non seulement pour leur fiabilité et leur sonorité chaude et puissante mais avant tout pour cette tradition européenne qu’ils ont décidée de préserver et de défendre. Petit retour historique sur cette grande marque de piano. FEURICH Facteur de père et fils depuis le XVIIIème, Julius Gustav Feurich fonde la manufacture de pianos FEURICH à Leipzig en 1851. Il est précurseur et devient le premier fabricant allemand à concevoir un piano droit avec étouffoirs "par en dessous". En 1911, une nouvelle manufacture est construite à Leipzig-Leutzsch. 360 ouvriers y fabriquent environ 1000 pianos droits et 600 pianos à queue par an, vendus dans le monde entier. FEURICH fait alors partie de ce qu'on appelle la convention des Cinq : les 5 manufactures allemandes les plus importantes sont associées afin d'offrir aux meilleurs pianistes la possibilité de jouer sur leurs meilleurs pianos de concert. En 1959, après la prise en force de l'entreprise et de ses avoirs par la RDA, il ne reste plus qu'une perspective, l'émigration en Allemagne de l'ouest. C'est alors le début d'une époque très florissante pour la marque et le début de la coopération avec la manufacture Euterpe à Langlau en Mittelfranken. En 1991 la manufacture Euterpe est achetée par le groupe Bechstein et en 1993 les parts de FEURICH sont également rachetées. En 1994 une nouvelle production de Feurich démarre chez l'entreprise Rönisch et Fritz Steinbauer et en 1999 la production Feurich est transférée dans le nouveau bâtiment à Gunzenhausen.

  • 'Our Post-Christian Age': Historicist-Inspired Diagnoses Of
    ‘Our post-Christian age’: Historicist-inspired diagnoses 1 ‘Our post-Christian age’: Historicist-inspired diagnoses of modernity, 1935–70 Herman Paul Introduction ‘“Post-Christian Era”? Nonsense!’ declared one of Europe’s foremost theologians, Karl Barth, in August 1948, at the first assembly of the World Council of Churches in Amsterdam. How do we come to adopt as self-evident the phrase first used by a German National Socialist, that we are today living in an ‘un-Christian’ or even ‘post- Christian’ era? … How indeed do we come to the fantastic opinion that secularism and godlessness are inventions of our time; that there was once a glorious Christian Middle Age with a generally accepted Christian faith, and it is now our task to set up this wonderful state of affairs again in new form?1 The World Council assembly was an appropriate venue for raising these questions, as several high-profile attendees used the very phrase, ‘post- Christian era’, in their diagnosis of the times. Even Martin Niemöller, a collaborator of Barth in the German Confessing Church, stated at the Amsterdam conference that ‘we already talk about a “post-Christian age”, in which we live and see the Christian church nearing its decline’.2 Apparently, by 1948, ‘post-Christian era’ had become a familiar turn of phrase, at least in circles of the World Council of Churches. But where did it come from and what did it mean? Barth’s emphatic statement notwithstanding, ‘post-Christian age’ was not a phrase of National Socialist origin. Admittedly, it resonated among secularists of right-wing political leaning, especially in the 1930s and early 1940s.

  • Larry Fine Piano Buying Guide About German Piano Industrie 10 2016
    The Definitive Piano Buying Guide for Buying New, Used, and Restored Acoustic Pianos and Digital Pianos Fall 2016 Edition German Piano Makers Face the Music of Globalization Derek Scally ACH SPRING, Frankfurt, Germany, hosts Musikmesse, one of the world's largest gatherings for the international music industry. European piano makers convene there every other year. Our correspondent attended the 2016 gathering, at a time of great change for the German piano industry. — Editor The piano hall of Frankfurt's sprawling Musikmesse sounds like a three- way collision of Tin Pan Alley, the Brill Building, and Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. Enter Hall 9 and you're blasted with stuffy air particles, all vibrating with cacophonous Chopin, grinding Gershwin, and, surfing atop the soundwaves, a brutal rendition of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy." For a few days each year, Frankfurt welcomes the Who's Who of the piano world, led every other year by the big German brands: Blüthner, August Förster, Grotrian-Steinweg, Schimmel, Seiler, Wilhelm Steinberg, Steingraeber & Söhne, and more. It's heaven for piano lovers, but also hell: so close to the world's greatest pianos, yet so far. The unholy din makes it hard to hear anything you play — like offering an art lover a blindfolded tour of the Louvre. After one quick circuit, I have my bearings. The main aisle running through the center of the hall appears to be a Continental — and a cultural — divide. To the right are the German pianos and other Europeans: Italy's Fazioli and the Czech Republic's Petrof (Austria's Bösendorfer was with its owner, Yamaha, in a different hall).
