"The Blue Piano" is a captivating family story that deeply immerses itself in the historical and cultural roots of Vienna and its surroundings. The author, Andreas Maleta, uncovers the vibrant world around 1900 through unexpected documents, photos, and letters, shaped by significant figures such as Martha Scheid and Victor Thonet. The narrative unfolds in the Scheid villa, where a Beethoven music room featuring a blue piano, designed by Josef Maria Auchentaller, plays a central role. The relationship between Martha and Victor, who marry in 1903, is vividly portrayed, while Victor, as the head of the largest Thonet furniture factory in Bistritz, recruits innovative designers. The story highlights not only personal destinies but also the changes of the times and the challenges the couple must face in the 1920s. An impressive work that transports readers to a bygone era and illustrates the connections between art, family, and history.
