| | J.M.R. Arpeggione loudspeakers [English] |
 | | The Arpeggione did a good enough musical job in my living room to make it a worthwhile musical experience, which is all that matters. | | | The Arpeggione made a fair job of making it happen in the listening room, the fluidity of Klánsky's playing being clearly expressed with only some congestion and hardness at the loudest peaks to indicate these are small loudspeakers. | | | The Jean Marie Reynaud JMR Arpeggione look and sound different from the mainstream and deserve a viable market for that reason alone but they really are good musical speakers that punch way above their weight for size and price. |

| | Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata Revisited - THE ARPEGGIONE |
| | The fretted members of the string family (such as the viola da gamba) were regarded as musical archaisms5 in the 18th century and were long out of fashion by the early 19th century6. | | | eveloped in 1823 by the Viennese guitar luthier Johann Georg Staufer (1778-1853), the arpeggione (also known as the bowed guitar/bogen-guitarre, guitarre d'amour, and guitarre-violoncell) was a bowed, six-stringed, fretted instrument, which was tuned exactly like a classical guitar. | | | Its body shape was also similar to a guitar, with smooth rather than pointed violin corners. |

| | The instrument: The arpeggione was a bowed, fretted, six-string instrument invented in Vienna in 1823-24 by the Viennese guitar luthier Johann Georg Staufer; it was also referred to as a bowed guitar, the instrument that it most resembled. | | | Sonata for Arpeggione and Piano in A minor, D821 | | | Similarly to the cello, the sound of the arpeggione apparently bore an expressive speechlike quality, especially in its upper register. |

| | The Arpeggione is long dead, and nowadays the sonata is performed mostly on the cello, though there are transcriptions to guitar and other instruments as well. | | | The Arpeggione sonata is so called because it was written for the now extinct Arpeggione instrument, which was a cross between a Guitar and a Cello. | | | Its variation movement is the first of several in which he used one of his own songs as the theme, and this record includes the song itself--an inspired idea. |

| | Several years later, the arpeggione disappeared for good from the world of music and it was decided to play the Schubert sonata either with the viola or with the cello. | | | The sonata “Arpeggione“ remains a very recognized piece of work and holds an important place in the chamber music works of the composer. | | | A short article written at the time mentioned that the instrument “draws closer to the beauty, richness and grace of the sound as high as an oboe, as deep as a basset horn and that it makes the performance of the chromatic passages wonderfully easy even in double stopping”. |

| | The Schubert Sonata for Arpeggione and Fortepiano (D. 821) is another good example of a favorite piece written by a beloved composer that continues to live, thanks to the cello or the viola. | | | The Sonata was composed in November 1824, only one year after the invention of the arpeggione, an instrument created by J.G. Stauffer, one of the finest guitar makers of the 19th century (Schubert's own guitar was made by Stauffer). | | | Later in January, I showed the instrument to Tzu-Ling Sarana Chou (a composition student at Juilliard who studies with Samuel Adler), who decided to write a piece for arpeggione and guitar. |

| | Not to administer the Kiss of Death, but the Arpeggione does appear to be a Music Lovers' Loudspeaker. | | | This is a speaker that for $1200/pair delivers deep, tuneful bass and a wonderful sense of musical richness and fullness—quite notably, even at moderate volume levels. | | | But if your goal is "high-definition" sound, you will probably be happier looking and listening elsewhere. |

| | Invented in Vienna in 1824, it was a hybrid string instrument, a bass viol with guitar-like metal frets embedded in the arched fingerboard and with six strings tuned like a guitar. | | | Cello and viola play the sonata essentially as written, and the violin arrangement that Vogel will play was made by the composer. | | | Other works on the program will be Debussy's Sonata in G minor for violin and piano and Prokofiev's Sonata No. 1 in F minor, op. |

| | Among stringed instruments, the cello incorporates the piece into its repertoire most successfully based on the similarities of size and range to the arpeggione. | | | While acknowledging the difference in registers, the most striking similarity between the double bass and the arpeggione, and the one that is at the heart of this reevaluation of Schubert's sonata, is the tuning of the two instruments. | | | However, the piece poses difficulties for cellists because the arpeggione possessed a slightly greater range across the open strings and utilized a different tuning system. |
