Helga Kasimoff: Her Store and her Stories

On the occasion of what would have been her 94th birthday. We are premiering a documentary about the life and work of Helga Kasimoff and the legendary Blüthner piano store that is still on Larchmont Boulevard to this day.

A film by Richard Haufe-Ahmels with thanks to Serge, Ivan and Kyril Kasimoff, Dr. Christian Blüthner-Haessler, Margit Kleinman, Dr. Claudia Gordon and Friedel Schmoranzer.

Music Sonata for two pianos, I., II. and III, (op. 87) by Ernst Toch performed by Friederike Haufe and Volker Ahmels.

Thanks to the generosity of the Ernst Toch Society, Ernst Toch's Bluethner is housed at Villa Aurora today and is cared for by the Kasimoff-Blüthner Piano Company.
