Abstract
Abstract:The Riemenschneider Bach Institute at Baldwin Wallace University possesses a square piano dated 1792, made by the Verschneider firm, organ builders of Puttelange-aux-Lacs, Moselle. The five-octave piano, of unknown provenance but modeled after English-style prototypes, is the oldest extant Verschneider product and their only known piano, evidently fourth in a series of otherwise lost instruments. Undistinguished in workmanship and repeatedly altered, in the mid-twentieth century by Marcel Asseman in Paris, the piano nevertheless displays interesting features indicative of stressful conditions in provincial Revolutionary France
摘要:鲍德温-华莱士大学里门施奈德巴赫研究所拥有一架1792年的方形钢琴,由摩泽尔Puttelange aux Lacs的风琴师Verschneider公司制造。这架五倍频程钢琴来源不明,但仿照了英国风格的原型,是现存最古老的Verschneider产品,也是他们唯一已知的钢琴,显然是一系列失传乐器中的第四架。二十世纪中叶,马塞尔·阿塞曼在巴黎创作了一架钢琴,尽管其工艺不受争议,而且反复修改,但它仍然表现出了有趣的特征,表明了法国大革命时期的紧张局势
