Brodmann
Austrian
piano maker/teacher
Biography
Brodmann is named in the text only as the master under whom Ignatz Bösendorfer trained before establishing his own piano business in Vienna in 1828. No other information about Brodmann—his full name, dates, or the scope of his own piano-making career—is given in this section. His significance in the text derives entirely from this teacher-pupil relationship, which situates the founding of the Bösendorfer firm within the broader lineage of Vienna piano-making masters and apprentices that the author traces throughout this chapter, alongside other master-pupil relationships such as Stein under Silbermann and Ehrbar under Seuffert.
