„Der unsichtbare Pianist“

In the organizer's words:

Concert on the historical reproduction grand piano

It is often the hidden that exerts a special attraction. For example, the mechanical Steck "Duo-Art" reproduction grand piano from 1925, on which music is performed without a visible player. In this early form of mechanical sound recording, the pianist's playing is transferred to a paper roll, which - when inserted into a corresponding instrument - can be used to reproduce the music. The 13th concert in our event series "The Invisible Pianist" at the Deutsches Musikarchiv is all about old and new: specifically, some of the 100-year-old rolls of music, mainly from the Classical and Romantic periods, which have come to us for the first time this year.
