Sažetak

A group of keyboard instruments from the holdings of the Varaždin City
Museum consists of 12 objects: ten pianos – the square piano built between 1790
and 1810, five historic pianos from the first half of the 19th century, four pianos
from the second half of the 19th century – as well as two positive organs from the
17th century. They were built by the prominent instrument makers such as Rudolf
Rapoldt, Johann Jakesch, Michael Rosenberg, Wilhelm Lange, Carl Schmidt,
Carl Kutschera, Josef Kaspar Fritz, Johann Promberger younger, and brothers
Carl and Johann Schweighofer. Most of the instruments originate from Vienna, which
confirms its cultural influence on Varaždin; Styria and Bratislava follow. The number
and variety of the keyboard instruments kept in the Varaždin City Museum
is evidence of a favourable economical situation of their past owners that allowed
them them to purchase these keyboard intruments from reputable international
workshops, their adequate music education, as well as intensive music life in
„the little Vienna“ (as contemporaries used to call Varaždin). Instruments collecting
in the City Musem of Varaždin is a testimony to a developed awareness of
their significance and an effort to saving them as many of them as possible. Being
stored in the museums saved many of them – important parts of the cultural heritage
– from disappearing. Furthermore, for some of them indispensable restoration
was provided. Rudolf Rapoldt’s positive organ and Michael Rosenberger’s
historic piano were restored, while Johann Jakesch’s square piano and historic
piano by an unknown builder, earlier owned by the Ban of Croatia Josip Jelačić,
are in the process of being restored.
