The
pianist Artis Wodehouse collects keyboard instruments that history left
behind. Since finding her passion in 2000, Ms. Wodehouse has acquired
nearly a dozen antique keyboard instruments—from Craigslist, eBay and
other sources.
Klavierhaus Pleyel
1903 Mustel Art Harmonium
Artis Wodehouse writes:
Dear Musicians and Colleagues,
I'm especially excited to let you know that Klavierhaus
of NYC has agreed to loan us their beautiful 1890 Art Case Pleyel grand
piano for our Sunday, April 6th, 2014 "Masters of the Harmonium "
concert to be held at Church of the Epiphany, 74th and York Avenue, NYC
at 4 p.m. Pianist Andrew Sun will be performing on it in harmonium and
piano duos by Saint-Saens and Guilmant. I will be playing my 1903
Mustel Art harmonium.
Klavierhaus's Pleyel grand piano represents a uniquely
French sound-world that was quite familiar to Saint-Saens, Guilmant,
Debussy and Ravel. It will be a most fitting partner to my 1903 French
Mustel Art Harmonium.
