History (German) |
William Steinway wurde 1835 als Wilhelm Steinweg in Seesen, Herzogtum Braunschweig geboren. 1850 wanderte er mit seinem Vater Heinrich Steinweg (Henry E. Steinway) in die USA aus. 1825 baute Steinweg sein erstes Tafelklavier, das er seiner Braut Juliane zur Hochzeit schenkte. 1836 entstand der erste Flügel. Nachdem Henry Steinway in den USA zunächst für einige Klavierfabriken arbeitete, gründete er 1854 seine Firma Steinway and Sons. Heute lautet die Firma Steinway Musical Instruments. Sie gehört seit 2013 zu John Paulsons & Co. | |||
