Franz Mohr

Franz Mohr, now 83 years old looks back to a unbelievable life as the head piano technician for piano the manufacture of Steinway & Sons. Born in Düren, Germany,he immigrated to New York and from 1962 to 1989 he accompanied Wladimir Horowitz throughout the world to most of his concerts. Beside that he worked for Artur Rubenstein and many other famous pianists. This weeka local newspaper asked to shoot some photosan and so l could listen to all his stories he had to tell....see also http://www.crescendo.org/index.php?id=187&language=en

spreading his wings and flying free in front of his pianos – loving and always having loved his profession… great shot, again, berthold! ingenious composition, too, with the piano keys on the apron corresponding so well with the "lamellar" wood on the ceiling and the legs of the stool! lg, sabine.
