(continuation)
"Pianoforte.
Dies ist gegenwärtig das allgemein beliebte Saiten-Instrument, welches in
London so vorzüglich verfertigt, und von da fast in alle Gegenden der Welt
verfandt wird. Die Einführung ist neu, und von deutscher Abkunst, wie mir
Herr Schoene folgendermaßen erzählt hat. Man hatte nämlich vorhin in
Deutschland sogenannte „Hammerklaviere, in welchen nur hölzerne Hammer gegen
die Saiten schlugen. Johannes Zumpe, ein Klaviermacher aus Fürth, wollte
sich in London niederlassen. Vor seiner Hinreise, munterte Bach (vermuthlich
der verewigte Hamburgische) ihn auf, das Hammerklavier, nach der jezigen
Art, zu verbessern, d. i. mit Leder anzuschlagen, und Dämpfer anzubringen.
Daher der Namen Pianoforte. Es war im J. 1705, als Zumpe die ersten kleinen
Pianofortes in London verfertigte. Sie erhielten den bekannten Beifall, und
sind seitdem zu größeren Vollkommenheiten gebracht worden. Nach dem Ableben
von Zumpe, wurde defen Fabrik von seinem Landsmann, den schongedachten
Schoene, fortgesetzt. Gegenwärtig lautet die Firma: Schoene und Reyh.
Manchem Liebhaber möchte das Verzeichniß ihrer Artikel, nebst den
beigefügten Preisen nicht unwillkommen seyn. Große oder Royal-Pianofortes
(Grand Pianofortes), von sechs Oktaven, 85 Guineas; Do. von 5. Okt. 75 Guin.
kleine (Small Pianofortes) mit zirkelrunden Enden, 6 Okt. 3 Pedale, 60
Guineas; Do. 54 Okt. 54. Guineas; Do. viereckig, 6 Okt. 46 G.; Do. do. 5.
Okt. 40 G.; Do.do. kleiner, 54 Okt. 32 G. Die folgenden find ohne
Zusatz-Tasten (Additiona Keys): viereckige, 6 Fuß lang, 36 G.; Do. 54 Fuß,
26 G.; die gemeinen und kleinsten, 20 Guineas. Diese Preise sind von Schoene
und Reyh; ähnliche gute Arbeiten können von andern wohl nicht zu geringeren
Preisen geliefert werden. Es sind kurante Preise; nach Beschaffenheit der
Bestellungen, finden natürlich auffrordentliche Statt. Reise-Pianofortes
(Travelling Pianofortes) sind nur 3 Fuß lang, und haben 4 Oktaven, 12
Guineas; sie werden lediglich für Rußland gemacht. Alle die übrigen gehen
nach Spanien, Amerika, Rußland und in geringeren Quantitäten, nach mehreren
Weltgegenden."

"Na het overlijden van SUMPE [sic], werd
deszelfs Fabriek door zijn landsman, den voornoemden SCHOENE, voortgezet.

"MESSRS. SCHOTT &
CO., MUSIC SELLERS TO THE QUEEN, MUSIC PUBLISHERS AND IMPORTERS,
157 AND 159, REGENT STREET, W. -
ORGANISED at St. James’s Street in the year 1835 as a branch establishment
of the famous German publishing house of the same name, which had flourished
and is still in high activity since the year 1768, the commercial prosperity
of the concern in London has been both rapid and continuous. In 1850 a
transference was effected to the present eligible premises, which are in
every point of character and situation precisely adapted to the requirements
of a very select high-class business of the kind. They consist of a neat,
elegantly appointed salon, with the remainder of the two three-storied
houses for warehouse purposes, in which an exhaustive stock of sheet and
book music for all instruments and voices is held, carefully classified,
comprising standard works, such as Wagner’s Operas, which are the copyright
of the firm, and music fully up to the hour of publication, and especially
music from the leading Continental publishers of the day. The extent of
their publications, especially of pianoforte and string music, is enormous;
and the trade controlled is one of considerable volume, and, as already
noted, the patronage is a very select one, including Her Majesty the Queen
and members of the Royal Family, and many other distinguished personages
drawn from the elite of the English and foreign aristocracy and lovers of
music in every quarter of the kingdom."

BIO
"Smart, Sir George-Thomas, chef
d'orchestre, organiste et compositeur anglais distingué, né à Londres le 10
mai 1776, m. dans la même ville le 23 fevr. 1867 ; fondateur et, pendant
longtemps, directeur (1813-1844) de la « Societe philharmonique, organiste
et compositeur de la Chapelle vocale de la Cour, musicien de haut mérite
qui, le premier, fit connaître en Angleterre les oeuvres de Beethoven et de
Schumann. Il dirigea, de 1813 à 1825, les auditions musicales du carème,
ainsi que, de 1823 à 1842, un grand nombre de festivals de musique, dans
lesquels chantèrent la Sontag, J. Lind et la Malibran (celle-ci dans le
festival de Manchester [1837], qui lui fut fatal). S. dirigea la musique des
fêtes du couronnement de Guillaume IV (1820) et de la reine Victoria (1837).
Il a publié les madrigaux de Orl. Gibbons et le Te Deum de Dettingen, de
Händel, ainsi que plusieurs anthems, glees et canons de sa composition. Son
frère, Henry, né en 1778, m. à Dublin le 23 nov. 1823, le père du musicien
suivant, fut un excellent violoniste, puis, en dernier lieu, facteur de
pianos, à Londres."

NECROLOGY
"Mr. Henry Smart. Nov. 27. Of a typhus
fever at Dublin (whither be had gone to superintend the debut of his pupil,
Miss Coward,) Mr. Henry Smart. Mr. Smart began his musical education under
Mr. Cramer, and played in the early part of his life in the Orchestras of
the Opera, Haymarket Theatre, and at the Ancient Concert. At the opening of
the English Opera House, he was engaged as leader, and continued in that
capacity for several years. When the present Drurylane Theatre opened, Mr.
Smart was also retained as its leader; and, we believe, it was his peculiar
pride to have formed that orchestra entirely of English artists; and in such
estimation did they hold his character, that on his retirement from the
Theatre in 1821, tbe Orchestra presented him with a silver cup, as a mark of
their gratitude and his merits. Mr. Smart was leader at the Oratorios, at
which he had assisted since they were under the conduct uf bis brother, Sir
George Smart, which began in 1813. In 1820 Mr. Smart entered into a
manufactory for piano-fortes, and, but a very short period since, had
obtained a patent for an Important improvement in the touch of these
instruments. He was distinguished by great urbanity of manners. In his
nature he was kind, generous, and humane. He always evinced an ardent love
of his art, and, on all occasions, private reeling gave way to public
interests in its exercise."

Irish
'Pianoforte-maker' ca. 1794-1839
"The piano was introduced upon the stage in
London as a newly invented instrument in 1767 by Dibdin, and in Dublin by
Michael Arne in 1770. It had been customary thus to introduce keyed
instruments into the theatrical orchestra. A picture of the performance at
Versailles in honour of the marriage of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette
shows this—the harpsichord having the lid raised. Mozart did likewise at
Milan in 1771, and even so lately as 1826 Weber "presided at the
pianoforte," when Oberon was produced at Covent Garden, although, as that
opera had no recitatives (being only "a drama with songs"), it is not very
clear for what the instrument had been introduced. Some allusion having been
made to the progress of the piano in Dublin with Panormo and Michael Arne,
the (Sir R. Stewart) would refer to one well-known Irish artist, Wm.
Southwell, who had rendered great services to the manufacture of the
instrument, having improved the dampers, extended the compass, and invented
the upright, then termed a cabinet piano."
The Monthly musical record, Volume 5, 1875,
p. 74


(continuation)
Patent of 1837 : "To William
Southwell, of Winchester-road, Newroad, in the county of Middlesex,
pianoforte-maker, for his invention of a certain improvement in
pianofortes.— [Sealed 24th August, 1837]
This improvement is in the construction of a part of the mechanism called
the action of a pianoforte, by which the pressure exerted by the finger of
the player upon the key, is communicated to the hammer that strikes the
string and also to the damper which stops the vibrations. The improvement is
the introduction of a small tong and spring in what is called the butt; it
is designed to render the touch more delicate than in the ordinary
construction, and, consequently, to facilitate the playing of rapid passages
by ensuring the correct action of the hammer and damper.— [Inrolled in the
Inrolment Office, February, 1838.]"

the pins may be produced upon plates or surfaces of the material
applied upon the surface of the keys. The material may be attached
to the parts, or may be held in position by glue or other cement."

Patent of 1829 : "To
John Stewart, of George-street, Euston-square, in the county of Middlesex,
piano-forte maker, for his having invented certain improvements on
piano-fortes.— [Sealed 2d November, 1829.]
- the improvement proposed under this patent is a slight variation in the
form of some of the rods or levers which constitute what is called the
action part of a piano-forte, and the introduction of a horizontal rail,
upon which the fulcrum joints of such levers are intended to be supported.
The advantages proposed from this variation or peculiarity of construction,
are not pointed out in the specification, and are by no means obvious from
an inspection of the drawing; and as it would be impossible to give a just
idea of the plan without exhibiting a section of the interior of the
piano-forte with all its working parts, we trust that this notice of the
invention will, in this instance, be considered sufficient.—[Inrolled in the
Inrolment Office, January, 1830.]"

LONDON -
"A
grand, 6¾ octaves, C to A, by Messrs. Stodart, is a very interesting
specimen, in as much as it is fitted with metallic bracing, on the plan
patented by Mr. Stodart in 1820. This is the original of all the
varieties of metallic bearing now in use, and its leading features—viz.,
a metallic stringplate kept apart from the wrest-plank by a system of
longitudinal metallic bars— are essentially the same as have ever since
been followed. The only variations from the more modern systems in
matters of detail are, that the longitudinal stretchers are hollow tubes
instead of flat bars, and that the string-plate is detached from the
wood framing below. With regard to the form of the stretcher, there is
no doubt the hollow tube is the more correct form, on mechanical
principles, as being better calculated to offer the greatest resistance
to a compressive force with the least quantity of material. Every one
acquainted with constructive science knows that a hollow tube is the
most advantageous form for a column, and the function of the metallic
stretchers in a piano-forte is precisely analogous. The object of
leaving the string-plate detached from the woodwork below, was to allow
the whole metallic frame, with the strings it carried, to contract and
expand together, under atmospheric changes, without straining the
woodwork, since wood and metal are, it is well known, differently
influenced in this respect. The experience of other makers has not shewn
this to be of 'much importance in practice; and therefore the separation
of the wood and metal framing is but seldom adhered to; but the idea is
ingenious, and the principle correct. Altogether Mr. Stodart’s system of
metallic framing, adopted at such an early date, is a good example of
the application of scientific knowledge to the construction of the
piano-forte; and the very general way in which it has been since
followed, corroborates the universal rule that improvements, based on
correct principle, are those which will ultimately be found of the
greatest practical value. A peculiarity in the framing of this
piano-forte, although not a part of the original system, is that the
wrest-plank is turned upside down, being placed above the strings
instead of below them; by this arrangement, the strings are struck
against their rests, without the necessity for an upward bearing stud ;
while the metallic stretcher-bars bear directly against the plank
instead of being cranked down to it, as in the common plan. The
wrest-pins pass completely through the plank, and their Squared ends
appear above it, so to offer facility for tuning. The inverted
wrest-plank is a remnant of a system introduced by Mr. Wornum, in which
the entire wood framing was placed above the strings; but which, from
its inconvenience, has not continued in use. (see next

consequence of the various piracies of their surname, find It necessary to
acquaint the public, that, neither have they note, nor had they ever, the
moat remote connexion with any other Pianoforte-maker, and that all
Instruments of their manufacture bear the full inscription, «WILLIAM STODART

however, being often forged, they beg to add, that they will (gratuitously)
enable all persons to ascertain the genuineness of Pianos, upon application
at their only house of business, No. 1, Golden Square."

In 1861, when his father died, the son of
William, Malcolm STODART took over the firm.
1865 -
"The Messrs. Collard, of that city, sold in
the twenty years previous to 1851 about 32,000 piano-fortes. The entire
production of all England in 1853 was estimated at 1,500 instruments per
week, of which number about 10 per cent, were grand pianos, a like
proportion were squares, and the remainder uprights."

Manufactures ..., 1865, p. 148

(continuation)
The same firm also exhibit a Square, 6¾ octaves, C to A, with a
down-striking action. This example shews satisfactorily how much the
framing of the Square piano-forte might be simplified and improved by
the substitution of the inverted mechanism. The action has an
improvement by Mr. Greiner, by which the necessity for springs is done
away We believe that Mr. Stodart introduced the down-striking Square
four or five years ago, and is the only English maker who has
manufactured instruments on this principle. This piano is six or eight
inches shorter than ordinary Squares; wherefore the maker has called it
the “compact Square.” Moreover the key-board is in the middle of the
length ; and the appearance is therefore symmetrical. This has also been
done by Messrs. Collards."
Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences, 1851,
p. 36-37
LONDON -
"The next come to Messrs. Stodart, who
exhibit a grand in rosewood and a compact square: the peculiarity in the
latter instrument is, that the string and sounding-hoard are sunk in the
case, and that the hammers are made to strike down upon the strings instead
of up to them,as usual: it has a very good tone, and is a convenient
instrument, having almost the appearance of a sofa table when shut."
