The instrument illustrated
in this page, is an medium sized barrel organ, of 45 keys and 10 melodies and it was
manufactured by the brothers Vicente (II) and Pascual La Salvia (II) in 1979 in their
centennial factory-shop of Buenos Aires. The musical arrangements belong to Emilia La
Salvia, who she was principal of Music's Conservatory "La Nación", and the
registration on the barrel of the musical code were carried out by Osvaldo M. La Salvia. It has a section or register of metallic piccolos of treble sound that essentially execute the melodic base of the musical arrangement. Another of their register is constituted by wooden trumpets, that are essentially the harmonic support and of the counterpoint, of the orchestration. Their musical resources are supplemented with organ's open pipes, closed pipes and basses, all built ones in wood, dedicated to the accompaniment. |
As visual adornment, and animation element, it has in their front a couple of dancers. We should highlight, that the movement of the same ones is programmed (pinned) in the cylinder and it follows rhythmically, the different tunes of its repertoire. One of their tunes, is the classic march Under the Double Eagle", of the Austrian composer Josef Franz Wagner (1856-1908). It's also known like: "Double Eagle" or "Two Eagles". Their name is allegorical to the two heads' eagle, Austro-Hungarian Empire's distinctive, of which Wagner was musician. |
