Was haben Mikhail Bulgakov; John Cage; Hermann Hesse oder Horst Janssen gemeinsam? Ganz einfach; sie liegen uns am Herzen ndash; dem Zeichner wie der Schreiberin.Die Werke von Glenn Gould; Franz Kafka; Egon Schiele haben unser beider Leben geprauml;gt. Unabhauml;ngig voneinander; an welchem Ort auch immer; stauml;ndig oder nur spontan oder auch schicksalhaft. Eigentlich waren wir uns immer nah; ohne es zu wissen. Aus dem Gefuuml;hl; angekommen zu sein ndash; und aus dem Wunsch; Geschichten uuml;ber bdquo;Dichter; Schuhe und andere Objekteldquo; zu erzauml;hlen; dabei jeder auf seine Art; ist dieses Buch entstanden.Das; was die Gesichter nicht erzauml;hlen; erzauml;hlen die Schuhe. Denken Sie daruuml;ber nach: Schuhe sind ein Zeugnis ihrer Trauml;ger. Ob nun die gruuml;nen Schuhe von Hermann Hesse oder Objekte wie die stummen Steine von Cage. Diese Schuhe und die anderen Objekte haben auch uns durchs Leben begleitet ndash; ihre Besitzer. Wie alle anderen Geschichten ndash; in Bild und Wort; in Wort und Bild. Nur richtig hinsehen; in sich hinein houml;ren sollten sie; um alles zu entdecken und ihre eigenen Geschichten wieder hervorzuholen.Die widgets (i-Button) sind nur in der i-Book-Version vorhanden als Extrafeature als Gedanken des Zeichners zu seinen Bildern.

ShawRelatively recently updated; this book is a brief and sugar coated; but very interesting history of the Steinway Sons company; arguably manufacturer of the finest pianos in the world. The black and white photos (not terribly well reproduced) give a sort of scrapbook character to the piece.For the piano officianado who appreciates the character of a Steinway; it is a nice little history of the Company.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A remarkable narrative; especially recommended for piano enthusiastsBy Midwest Book ReviewFirst written in 1953; People And Pianos is a chronicle of the history of Steinway Sons; an institution famous for creating great pianos. The original edition was a memento to commemorate the companys 100-year anniversary; now a new edition is made available to the public; filled cover-to-cover with vintage black-and-white photographs and illustrations as well as an update by Bruce Stevens that continues the saga of Steinway Sons to the present day. Personal reminiscences on maestros such as Ignace Jan Paderewski; Sergei Rachmaninoff; Josef Hofmann; Glenn Gould; Rudolf Serkin; Dame Myra Hess; and Arthur Rubinstein by Henry Z. Steinway; the last family member to be involved in the business; are included. A remarkable narrative; especially recommended for piano enthusiasts interested in knowing the inner details of an institution that took upon itself the task of creating great and complex musical instruments.7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. history of the Steinway piano and the companyy that made itBy Henry BerryThis is a reprinting of the book written by Theodore Steinway on legal pads that in 1953 was given to Steinway and Sons employees as a commemoration of the companys one hundredth anniversary in the U.S. The original book was reprinted in 1961 with minor additions. This reprinting expands the earlier limited-printing editions with a 40-page section with material by Henry Steinway and the president of Steinway and Sons Bruce Stevens recounting the history of the company over the last 50 years. Both old and new parts are heavily illustrated with photographs of noteworthy individuals and Steinway pianos from different eras. Readers learn why and how the Steinway piano came to be and continues to be the preferred piano by almost every top music performer and composer around the world.
