Joseph Brodman piano constructor story
Joseph Brodmann, born in 1763 in Deuna/Eichsfeld (today Germany, Thüringen), was one of the first and best known piano designers and craftsman of his time. As a young man he came to Vienna and became the apprentice of the well known piano builder Frederick Hoffman. Vienna had already been established as the centre of the musical world influenced by the music of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert.
In 1800, in the Lexicon of Musicians he was listed as “Joseph Brodmann – instrument maker, excelled in constructing horizontal fortepianos of solid finish“. In 1805 he was registered in the Court and State record department as an Organ and Piano maker.
Brodmann’s innovations in cabinet design made his instruments sought after not only by musicians, but also Vienna’s high society at the time. Examples of Brodmann pianos are still in working order in the piano collections of the Vienna Arts and Berlin Museums today.
Joseph Brodmann’s original address in Vienna was at no 43 Glacis, Josefstadt (8th District), later 226 Johannes Street, which is called today Lenau Street 10, where he also had his workshops. Ignaz Bösendorfer studied in the workshop of Joseph Brodmann from the age of 19 years, where he finished his apprenticeship. From 1828 he took over Joseph Brodmann’s work-shops, and began to produce the world famous Bösendorfer Pianos
Now completely independent of Bosendorfer, Brodmann’s world headquarters is still located in Vienna, Austria, not far from the original factory and only five minutes away from the famous opera house and the historic old town. The city, with its musical history as well as the heritage of Joseph Brodmann and his pupil Ignaz Bösendorfer, continue to influence the way Brodmann pianos are built to this day. Under the leadership of Christian Höferl, a former long time Director of Bösendorfer and Colin Taylor, a former Bösendorfer concert technician and manager, along with Bosendorfer’s former foreman of voicing and regulating along with the former head of quality control for Bosendorfer, the Brodmann company is comprised of a highly experience team whose aims are to produce the highest quality pianos at unbeatable prices.
