Passion for music, great ar- tisanship, continuous technological research and strict material selection: these are the elements required for building a Fazioli piano. FAZIOLI refuses any industrial approach to manufactu- ring and pursues the objective of uncompromi- sed quality. The factory is located in Sacile, in the Province of Pordenone (60 km Northeast of Venice) in an area boasting an ancient and pres- tigious tradition in the art of woodworking. kwaadham 52, 9000 gent | (+32) 9 233 80 59 | [email protected] | www.quatremains.gent 1/1 mission & vision The FAZIOLI factory was born out of a challen- Almost 40 years later, FAZIOLI strongly believes ge: demonstrating that the piano is not an in- to have carried out this mission coherently, thus strument passively and indissolubly anchored inspiring the whole acoustic piano manufactu- to tradition.

Since the very beginning, FAZIOLI has consistently brought forward its philosophy, which can be summarized in few, however important, points: • producing exclusively grand and concert grand pianos, destined to the professional market • excluding any imitation process and pur- suing the idea of a FAZIOLI sound inspired by the Italian “Bel Canto” • individually handcrafting each piano (eve- ry FAZIOLI instrument is unique), refusing every industrial process • using only the best materials and cut- ting-edge manufacturing techniques • constantly carrying on scientifi c research through an internal “Research and Deve- lopment” department and the collaborati- on with academic research institutions and external private subjects • meeting the demand of those who wish to acquire a unique and aesthetically ful- ly-customized instrument (Art Case & Home Design collections). kwaadham 52, 9000 gent | (+32) 9 233 80 59 | [email protected] | www.quatremains.gent 1/4 history 1944 - 1977 Paolo Fazioli was born in Rome in 1944, into a family depth study of contemporary grand piano producti- of furniture makers.

  • C. Bechstein and Competitions 19 Steinway @ Competitions 29 Fazioli Pianos on Stage 47 the Chris Maene Straight Strung Grand Piano
    2 2019 Tsar of the piano POWERED BY conquered Moscow Alexandre Kantorow WELCOME Dear readers, The World Federation of International Music Competitions (WFIMC) is the umbrella organisation for more than 120 international music competitions, including the leading piano competitions worldwide. There are thousands of music competitions around the world. And amongst them, piano competitions are by far the most common. This is a fact. There are smaller and bigger competitions, competitions for young, senior, amateur, regional, and national pianists, as well as international competitions. People love to see young artists competing for a prize, exactly the same way everybody likes to see young athletes competing for an Olympic medal. This is a part of our human nature: we need to compare ourselves with others and we cherish the winners, giving them medals, money and fame … The question therefore is not to decide on the usefulness of music competitions, but to organise these events as well as possible in order to match the desires and the needs of young musicians and of the world of music. Today’s best music competitions are looking for artists capable of building a career for decades, able to present themselves to the media, who are open to new cultural initiatives, willing to experiment with new music and having inside themselves enough resources and energy to live the life of an international artist. This isn’t an easy task, but this is the mission of the WFIMC’s competitions. The WFIMC provides its members with a large panel of services and meetings, helping them to rene the model of music competitions by exchanging practices and ideas.

  • A Performer's Guide to Interpretive Issues In
    A Performer’s Guide to Interpretive Issues in Schubert’s Late Piano Sonatas, D. 958, D. 959 and D. 960 A doctoral document submitted to the The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 7 February 2012 by Chia-Hsing Lin B.M., National Institute of the Arts, 1999 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2003 Advisor: Professor Jeongwon Joe, Ph.D. Reader: Professor Kenneth Griffiths, M.M. Reader: Professor Frank Weinstock, M.M. Abstract Franz Peter Schubert’s last three sonatas, D. 958, 959 and 960 attract modern scholars and performers with their personal, poetic style as well as their problematic interpretive issues. In my document, I will explore nineteen interpretive issues related to them in addition to acknowledging the historical background of these sonatas. Through the juxtapositions, comparisons and observations based on numerous recordings by renowned pianists, this document will demonstrate how these issues are interpreted by different pianists, how these issues can affect a great performance, and how these interpretations relate to Schubert’s music as well as with modern audiences’ expectations. The motivation behind my research is my desire to explore these interpretive issues among Schubert’s last three sonatas since there are performance problems associated with these pieces that remain unresolved. With the added value of such an examination this document will provoke pianists to question their own personal interpretations of these sonatas. This document will consist of four chapters: Chapter 1 – An Introduction; Chapter 2 – A Closer Analytical Examination of Nineteen Important Interpretive Issues; Chapter 3 – Experimenting with Selected Interpretations; and Chapter 4 – A Conclusion.

    La storia www.fazioli.com The History www.fazioli.com 1944–1977 Paolo Fazioli nasce a Roma nel 1944, da una famiglia di imprenditori del mobile. Sin dall’infanzia dimostra di avere uno spiccato talento musicale e un profondo interesse nei confronti del pianoforte. Intraprende dunque gli studi musicali, proseguendoli sia durante gli anni del liceo che dell’università. Ben presto, sviluppa un preciso interesse nei confronti della tecnologia costruttiva del pianoforte, che approfondisce frequentando laboratori di costruzione e restauro consultando la bibliografia più autorevole. Nel 1969 si laurea in Ingegneria Meccanica presso l’Università di Roma e nel 1971 consegue il Diploma in Pianoforte presso il Conservatorio G. Rossini a Pesaro, sotto la guida di Sergio Cafaro. Nello stesso periodo frequenta con successo un master in composizione con il maestro Boris Porena presso l’Accademia di Musica Santa Cecilia. La famiglia FAZIOLI nel1947 Nel frattempo, i fratelli maggiori succedono nella gestione dell’azienda di famiglia, la MIM (Mobili Italiani Moderni), marchio con cui viene firmata la nuova linea di mobili per ufficio, destinata a conquistare il mercato internazionale. Mentre nello stabilimento di Torino si costruiscono mobili per ufficio in metallo, la fabbrica di Sacile (in provincia di Pordenone) si specializza nella lavorazione di quelli in legno, trattando anche essenze rare ed esotiche quali il Teak, il Mogano e il Palissandro. 1944–1977 È proprio attraverso l’esperienza nell’azienda di famiglia (prima come responsabile della programmazione di produzione dello stabilimento di Roma e successivamente di quello di Torino) che Paolo Fazioli si forma come manager e rafforza al contempo le sue conoscenze sulla lavorazione dei materiali in genere.

    Die Geschichte www.fazioli.com The History www.fazioli.com 1944–1977 Paolo Fazioli wurde 1944 in Rom als Sohn einer Familie von Möbelunternehmern geboren. Bereits von Kindesbeinen an zeigt er ein starkes musikalisches Talent und großes Interesse für das Klavier. Daher nimmt er schon früh ein Musikstudium auf, das er während seiner Gymnasial- und Universitätszeit fortsetzt. Bald entwickelt er ein präzises Interesse für die Bauweise des Klaviers, das er durch den Besuch von Bau- und Restaurierungswerkstätten sowie die Konsultation maßgeblicher Literatur vertieft. Im Jahr 1969 schließt er sein Maschinenbaustudium an der Universität in Rom ab und 1971 erlangt er sein Klavierdiplom am Konservatorium G. Rossini in Pesaro unter der Leitung von Sergio Cafaro. Im gleichen Zeitraum absolviert er erfolgreich einen Master-Abschluss in Komposition bei Boris Porena an der römischen Musikakademie Santa Cecilia. Die Familie FAZIOLI im Jahr 1947 In der Zwischenzeit übernehmen die älteren Brüder die Leitung des Familienunternehmens MIM (Mobili Italiani Moderni), das dazu bestimmt ist, den internationalen Markt mit einer neuen, gleichnamigen Linie von Büromöbeln zu erobern. Während in der Turiner Fabrik Büromöbel aus Metall hergestellt werden, ist das Werk in Sacile (in der nordostitalienischen Provinz Pordenone) auf die Verarbeitung von Holzmöbeln spezialisiert, wobei auch seltene und exotische Hölzer wie Teak, Mahagoni und Palisander verarbeitet werden. 1944–1977 Durch seine Erfahrung im Familienunternehmen (zunächst als Leiter der Produktionsplanung des Werks in Rom und dann des Werks in Turin) eignet sich Paolo Fazioli Kompetenzen im Bereich der Unternehmensführung an und vertieft gleichzeitig seine Kenntnisse in der Materialverarbeitung im Allgemeinen. Schon bald gewinnt sein Traum vom Bau eines neuen Klaviers die Oberhand über die Möglichkeit, sich dem Familienunternehmen zu widmen.
