The Musicians Club Presents

The Keyboard Club

The repertoire. The urtext. The library every serious pianist owns.

Piano, organ, harpsichord, celesta — the editions, the method books, the chamber music with piano, and the publishers behind them. Bärenreiter urtext. Breitkopf, Henle, Peters. Plus method books, music stands, lighting, and the practice tools the keyboardist actually uses.

Manifesto

Eighty-eight keys. Three centuries of repertoire. The instrument that defined Western harmony and the library that documents its evolution.

The keyboard family is where Western music's grammar was built. Bach worked out counterpoint at his harpsichord. Beethoven discovered the post-Classical sonata at his fortepiano. Chopin invented modern pianism at his Pleyel. The piano in your home, the organ in your church, the harpsichord in the early-music ensemble — they all come from the same family, all read the same notation, all serve the same library.

We don't sell pianos themselves — we sell what makes pianos sing: the urtext editions, the scholarly facsimiles, the method books, the chamber-music partner literature. The library every serious pianist or organist or harpsichordist builds over a lifetime.

We carry the publishers who take this seriously. Bärenreiter in Kassel, the urtext gold standard since 1923 — Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, the conservatory canon. Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig, the oldest music publisher in continuous operation, since 1719. Henle in Munich, urtext editions with hand-engraved fingerings by major pianists. We carry the urtext line and the working-edition line. We sell what serious students and pros use.

Three Hundred Years at the Keyboard

From the Italian Cembalo to the Bayreuth Concert Grand

The keyboard tradition begins with Bartolomeo Cristofori, who built the first piano — gravicembalo col piano e forte — in Florence around 1700. Bach used it; Mozart wrote his concertos for one; Beethoven destroyed dozens of them in his struggle to make them louder, more responsive, more pianistic. The modern grand piano emerged through Erard, Pleyel, and Steinway in the 19th century — and through smaller workshops like Steingraeber & Söhne in Bayreuth, whose 1852 founding put them in the same building Wagner walked past on his way to Festspielhaus rehearsals.

The repertoire is the deepest in Western music. Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier; Beethoven's 32 Sonatas; Chopin's Études, Préludes, Mazurkas; Liszt's Sonata in B minor; Debussy's Préludes; Bartók's Mikrokosmos; Messiaen's Vingt Regards. Plus the organ tradition — Buxtehude, Bach, Reger, Vierne, Widor, Messiaen. Plus harpsichord, celesta, fortepiano. The keyboardist's library is a lifetime's commitment.

We sell what makes that library playable. Bärenreiter urtext editions. Steingraeber pianos to the player who needs the singing instrument. The library every conservatory pianist builds, in the editions every conservatory teaches from.

Steingraeber & Söhne · Bayreuth 1852

The Difference Between Being Good and Being Great

"The most important thing is to transform the piano from a percussive instrument into a singing instrument... [with] shading, colours and contrast."

— Vladimir Horowitz

One of fewer than ten manufacturers worldwide capable of crafting a true singing piano. Hand-built in Bayreuth, Germany, since 1852. Each instrument is designed by the Schmidt-Steingraeber family and built by their elite circle of artisans — from the locksmith's shop and the winding of strings to the precision mechanics of the action.

The Grand Pianos

Five grand pianos. Heard in concert halls from Berlin to Bayreuth, from Bangkok to San Francisco. Custom finishes, custom veneers, alternative keyboards, and the Liszt-edition specifications all available on request.

E

Concert Grand E

"Top of its class"

276 cm · 9'1"  ·  3 pedals + Sordino + Mozart-rail

Price on InquiryBy Request

The flagship 9-foot concert grand. Continuing refinement of a design dating back to 1895. Sound-reflecting rim, star-shaped half-timbered braces, and an "unbelievably enjoyable" action — in the words of pianist Cyprien Katsaris. The only manufacturer to have reduced the sounding surface of the treble soundboard, restoring the classical relationship to its short treble strings.

Semi-Concert Grand D-232

"The Resonant Wonder"

Price on InquiryBy Request

Brother of the Concert Grand E. Particularly suitable for both solo and chamber concerts in medium-sized auditoria. The capo d'astro extends to 46 notes beyond the centre of the keyboard — the widest range in its class. A wonderful singing tone, expansive capability for shaping each tone from pppp to ffff.

Descendant of the famous Model 200 "Liszt" grand, which Steingraeber delivered to the piano virtuoso himself in 1873. 140 years of fascination, retaining its unique chamber music appeal while adapting to the musical needs of the 21st century. Lieder pianists in particular are fascinated by its register-to-register balance.

Sibling of the Chamber Concert Grand C-212, unveiled in the Liszt anniversary year of 2011. So closely related that the actions of both models are identical. Long bass strings similar in scale to chamber concert pianos. Straight bass bridge gives the soundboard especially wide amplitude, and treble backstrings constructed using a triad sound principle ensure a particularly sonorous treble.

Roots dating back to 1905. "Best In Its Class" — Le Monde de la Musique. A piano whose sound is much bigger than its size suggests.

Frequently Asked

Questions Worth Answering

Urtext editions (Bärenreiter, Henle, Peters Urtext) are scholarly editions that present the music as the composer wrote it — without editorial fingerings, dynamics added by an editor, or interpretive markings. They are the conservatory standard for serious study. Interpretive editions (Schirmer Library, older Peters editions) include editorial additions and can be useful for beginners or specific pedagogical contexts. For 95% of conservatory and serious-study purposes, urtext is the right choice.
Faber Piano Adventures (the "Faber & Faber" series) is widely regarded as the most musical and engaging method for young beginners. Bastien is a classical alternative emphasizing reading. Alfred's All-In-One is the budget-friendly choice for older beginners and adults. Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) and ABRSM publish graded repertoire books that pair well with any method. Talk to a pedagogue before committing.
For Bach, Bärenreiter is the gold standard — they publish the Neue Bach-Ausgabe (the New Bach Edition), the most scholarly version available. Henle is excellent and slightly more affordable; their fingering suggestions (by major pianists) are particularly useful. Peters Urtext is older but reliable. For Well-Tempered Clavier specifically, Bärenreiter or Henle.
Acoustic upright pianos start around used, new. They require tuning ($150-200) twice a year, but with proper care last 50+ years. Digital pianos at the - tier (Yamaha Clavinova, Roland LX, Kawai CA) approximate acoustic feel and never need tuning, but the touch and tone develop differently from acoustic over years of practice. Most teachers recommend acoustic for serious study, digital for apartment or shared-space situations.
Twice a year minimum — typically October and April, when seasonal humidity changes. New pianos and pianos that have been moved need 4 tunings in the first year. A piano that goes a year between tunings is undergoing pitch drift; the longer it sits flat, the more strings it may break during the next tuning. Find a registered piano technician (RPT) — the certification matters.
A piano reduction is an orchestral, opera, or oratorio score reduced for piano accompaniment — used for soloists rehearsing concertos, opera coaches working with singers, or chamber groups practicing without the full ensemble. Bärenreiter and Breitkopf both publish reductions. Look at the publisher and editor — a good reduction is playable; a bad one is essentially a study score with chords stacked too high.
Yes — Bach's organ works (Toccata and Fugue in D minor, the Trio Sonatas, the Orgelbüchlein) are routinely performed on piano transcribed by Busoni, Liszt, or others. The Bärenreiter Bach organ editions are essential references even for pianists. The Liszt B-A-C-H Fantasia and Fugue and Reger's organ works are similarly transcribed and studied.
Bound editions in folio binders or boxes, kept out of direct sunlight, in a low-humidity environment. Flat storage is ideal; standing on edge is acceptable. Avoid stacking heavy books on thin scores — the spines crack. For frequently-used pieces, get a working copy and a "library" copy. Mark fingerings and articulation in pencil only — never pen.
