Tony Bandmann
Tony Bandmann (17 May 1848 − 3 October 1907) was a German pianist, painter, piano teacher and theorist of piano technique. Life Born in Hamburg, as a student of Ludwig Deppe, Bandmann was one of the first to have a clear theoretical understanding of the use of weight in piano technique. Since 1893, with a ''Study on tone formation and technique'' on the piano, she brought important reasons for the use of weight and the "shoulder-arm-hand chain" in tone formation, in contrast to the piano technique of the 19th century, which emerged from harpsichord playing and was based on " articulation" and "independence" of the fingers (described in the then famous ''piano school'' by Lebert and Stark). She collaborated with Friedrich Adolf Steinhausen, who wrote his fundamental work on the physiological principles of piano technique (1905) at her suggestion. She herself described the principles of weight technique in her 1907 treatise ''Die Gewichtstechnik des Klavierspiels'', in whose i ...

The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the large S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
