Lyraflügel ca. 1820-44 Johann Christian Schleip (1786-1848) This type of upright piano was made almost exclusively in Berlin between 1820 and 1850. The Lyraflügel was a fashionable fixture of middle-class Biedermeier parlors in northern German lands. In the period of the Napoleonic occupation (1806-13), the lyre had become a symbol of freedom and liberation. It was popularized in songs based on the collection of patriotic poems, With Lyre andSword, by the poet Theodor Körner (1791-1813). These songs, with their references not only to the lyres of Orpheus and Apollo but also to Friedrich Schillers ideas of freedom and liberation from tyranny, were sung for decades. The lyre became a widespread emblem, as ornament, as lyre guitar, or, here, as frame for the piano pedals. Schleip was the principal manufacturer of the Lyraflügel, even claiming in 1820 to be its inventor. The early Lyraflügel still had knee levers and straight legs.From about 1825 on, Schleip built it, as here, with pedals
