Martha Cook Building Grand Piano

A bust of Mr. Cook rests above the Angell fireplace, and Mr. Cook's own Steinway piano attracts the eye as well as the ear. It was specially commissioned in 1913 and given to the building after the donor's death. It has an inlaid case of Caucasian walnut with Italian Renaissance designs. A piano of this style, as well as most of the furnishings on the first floor, cannot be replaced today.

Mein Blaues Klavier
By Else Lasker-Schüler Ra'anana, Israel: Even Hoshen Press, 2007. Edition of 30.
"Agassi pulls the piece de resistance out of a rectangular box the size of a small laptop computer. The 'book' within is a tiny blue grand piano. It cannot play, but is equipped with a keyboard cover and a top that opens to reveal taut strings. On its removable paper 'keys,' Agassi has printed in Hebrew and German a poem by the German writer Else Lasker-Schüler titled, 'Mein Blaues Klavier' ('My Blue Piano')."

My Must-Have Piano
The Cunningham Composer Piano

This is what I have dreamed about. IMO every piano should have this option...

Featuring a touchscreen monitor built flush with the body of the piano and powered by a Mac Mini, the Cunningham Composer will enable the player to record MIDI directly into programs such as Garage Band and Sibelius. Every Cunningham Composer will also come loaded with full versions of MusicReader, and the left pedal will use AirTurn technology to turn digital pages. Oh, did I say, touchscreen?



You can draw right on the screen with your finger - how cool is that??

With the Cunningham Composer, the piano IS the complete sheet music library and the composition workstation all in one. Imagine having all your music available at the touch of a finger, or being able to teach a lesson by annotating the score in full color and then emailing the lesson to your student! Or perhaps recording the lesson in MIDI, enabling the pianist to hear what they played afterwards, and even seeing the notes appear with each touch of the keys!]

I've thought about installing a computer/LCD screen setup behind the doors on my old ex-player for digital display of music. This may accelerate the idea in my brain...

Nam June Paik - Piano Piece, 1993

The unusual arrangement of objects in Nam June Paik’s Piano Piece—thirteen monitors, video cameras mounted on tripods, videotape players, a stool, and an exposed upright piano—appears somewhat haphazard at first. However, the work is, in fact, a carefully orchestrated composition, created as a tribute to the artist’s close friend and mentor, avant-garde composer John Cage, who died in 1992.

Piano table
Obviously, this table is inspired from piano. But, it is also obviously that you cannot play piano on this table. However, with a iPod dock and speakers hidden under the lid, it can provide music. In addition, there’s a drawer for cutlery. Designer: Nick Lovegrove & Demian Repucci
