The one keyed piano has two pedals? I guess that makes sense though.

What I'd like to know is how the insert_expletive_of_your_choice_here does insert_your_choice_of_deity_here allow a manufacturer to even attempt to justify putting what is likely a 5'8" (approx) grand piano in a (approx) 9' case?
(For uprights, I personally like the pianos best on which the speaking length of A0 is at least as long as (if not longer than) the total height of the cabinet, from the floor to the top of the closed lid. In order to avoid having the backscale be too short, I actually prefer to have a wide cabinet, for example on in which the block (whatever it's called) to the left of the keyboard is about the same width as an octave to a 12th worth of white keys... (and probably almost as wide on the treble end, although usually that block is shorter than the one at the bass.)) I actually like the Baldwin 243 better than the Yamaha U3, if only slightly.

This Fazioli is sculpture. It's an abstraction of a grand piano. In the context of the right architecture, it would fit right in. It seems like the point of its existence is as a design study of interesting shapes and textures the same way futuristic designs show up at car shows - they rarely make it to production but stretch the envelope of what the designers and fabricators are capable of. I wouldn't want it in my living room but in the context of a museum or design studio it would be fun to see. Not sure of it's performance as a piano without hearing it but I don't think this is it's primary purpose.

The one-keyed piano is for people with limited space who want to play music by John Cage.

The essence of two recently published wright-ups about Joseph BEUYS and his felt grand (unfortunately in German only, see below):

"Infiltration Homogeneous for Concert Grand"

The experience of an aviator, who was enwraped with felt and cared for healthy by Mongolians, after his was wounded severely because of an airplaine crash in World War II, let Beuys to realize that pain, malady and death are inevitably part of any existence at an early stage.

The concert grand tightly enwraped with felt and with the cross is a symbol for the misery in face of losses [I think the author does not mean "losses" in a strikt sense of casualties] that are always threatening. The instrument keeps silent. No sound anymore. Likewise the grand keeps the reminder that music is possible if the shell re-releases the instrument. So there is hope in any pain.

BTW, I just found another nice artwork by Joseph BEUYS which similarly was made of felt:


Halved Felt Cross with Dust Image "Magda" 1960/1965
paper, felt, picture frame with image in handwriting and dust, wire, nails, under glass, in metal frame 108 x 68 cm
Museum Ludwig, Cologne
©1999 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / VG Bild Kunst, Bonn



Das Werk von 1976 Joseph Beuys: „Infiltration homogen für Konzertflügel“

Dieses Werk nimmt in der Ausstellung „60 Jahre. 60 Werke“ im Martin-Gropius-Bau einen besonderen Platz ein: Es ist das einzige Werk, dass nicht aus dem Jahr stammt, für das es steht. Entstanden ist es schon 1966, repräsentiert aber das Jahr 1976. Warum? Weil Beuys’ unvergleichliche Wirkung, die er für die Kunst in Deutschland und international hatte, die ihn zum Star und selbst in den letzten Winkeln der USA bekannt machte, 1976 ihren ersten Höhepunkt erreichte.

Was war das Besondere an Beuys, was machte ihn zur charismatischen Hauptfigur der Kunst im 20. Jahrhundert? Da traf vieles zusammen: eine extrem ausgeprägte, radikale Moralität. Die Begabung, gesellschaftspolitische Widersprüche sichtbar zu machen. Der Sinn für utopische Gegenwelten, für den Glauben an die schöpferische Freiheit jedes Einzelnen, an Solidarität und Schönheit. Beuys nannte das „den Glanz des Wahren“.

Hinzu kamen Witz und die Lust zur Vermittlung. Dieser Künstler war auch Lehrer. Auf der Kasseler „documenta“ 1977 stand er neben seiner „Honigpumpe“ 100 Tage jedem, der es wollte, freundlich und schier unermüdlich Rede und Antwort – von morgens bis abends. Neben sich in einer Vase eine Rose, von der er sagte: „Ohne die Rose tun wir’s nicht, da können wir gar nicht mehr denken.“

Seine politische Arbeit verstand Beuys als notwendigen Teil seiner Arbeit als Künstler. Sein Düsseldorfer „Büro für direkte Demokratie“, seine Vorschläge zur Abschaffung des Geldes oder der Einsatz für die „Grünen“ waren ihm so wichtig wie Kunst.

Sein Programm hieß: „Erweiterung des Kunstbegriffs“. Gemeint war damit nicht nur, dass nachgerade alles – Filz, Fett, Honig, alte Badewannen und einmal sogar ein lebendiger Kojote – zum künstlerischen Stoff taugen. Weit mehr noch ging es Beuys darum, die soziale Verantwortung kreativen Handelns deutlich zu machen. Jeder könne zum Wohl der Gesellschaft beitragen. Die Gesellschaft sei eine „soziale Plastik“, insofern sei jeder ein Künstler. Mit diesem Anspruch hat er viele Kontroversen provoziert.

Die Erfahrung des Fliegers, der im Krieg nach einem Absturz schwer verletzt von Mongolen in Filz gehüllt und gesund gepflegt wurde, hat Beuys früh erkennen lassen, dass Schmerz, Leiden und Tod unabdingbar zu jeder Existenz gehören.

Der dicht von Filz umhüllte Konzerflügel mit dem Kreuz ist ein Bild für die Trauer angesichts der Verluste, die immer drohen. Das Instrument schweigt. Kein Ton mehr. Zugleich aber bewahrt der Flügel auch die Erinnerung daran, dass Musik möglich ist – wenn die Hülle das Instrument wieder freigibt. So ist Hoffnung in jedem Schmerz.


*Prof. Peter Iden (70), Kunst- und Theaterkritiker, Gründungsdirektor des Museums für ­Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt/Main"

(http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/60-jahre-bu...ertfluegel.html)


Wie der Flügel nach Berlin kam ...

Der Konzertflügel von Beuys – eine seiner wichtigsten Arbeiten, noch nie in einem deutschen Museum gezeigt. Er gehört dem Museum Centre Pompidou in Paris, ist eigentlich „unausleihbar“.

Durch Vermittlung von BILD klappte es doch: Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel bat am Rande des EU-USA-Gipfels in Prag Frankreichs Präsident Nicolas Sarkozy um Hilfe. Der war zunächst verblüfft, fragte bei seinem Dolmetscher nach: „Spricht die Kanzlerin tatsächlich von einem Piano?“ Als er hörte, dass es um eine Ausstellung zum 60. Geburtstag der Bundesrepublik ging, sagte er spontan zu – und überzeugte die Chefs des Pariser Museums.

Merci beaucoup, Monsieur le Président! Vielen Dank, Frau Bundes­kanzlerin!"
