Ferdinand Giovanni Schediwy

Ferdinand Giovanni Schediwy (1804–1877) was a conductor, composer, organist and teacher. He immigrated from Prague to Bergen, Norway, where he became very active in the musical environment. He was Edvard Grieg's first music teacher and became leader of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra (then called Harmonien) in 1827.

Ferdinand Giovanni Schediwy is not related to Franz Schediwy, founder and owner of a company under the same name in Ludwigsburg, Germany, which manufactured and sold fine brass instruments for orchestral use. The firm, F. Schediwy, manufactured a line of well built brass that is an uncommon find today. A few examples can be seen on the internet at http://www.horn-u-copia.net/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1130591348/3

Norbert Bobble of Ditzingen, Germany, at his Musik Bopple Brass Manufacturing and Repair Shop, is the last of the trained lineage repair experts of the F. Schediwy brass instruments. His website can found in English and German at http://www.jbs-brass.com/

Famous quotes containing the words ferdinand and/or giovanni:

    I fairly confess that, acting as nature and simplicity dictated, no sooner did I see the once loved bosom of my Ferdinand free from those deformed demons which had crept in and filled up the vacant space, than beholding my natural home once more the seat of innocence and truth, my heart joyfully danced into its delightful abode.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    go barefoot
    and be warm
    all the time
    not only when you go to bed
    and sleep
    —Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
