Foundation Musick's MonumentANBI STICHTING MUSICK'S MONUMENT
The Stichting Musick’s Monument produces Historical Art Productions. Pictures, music and text are integrated: You will hear music from the same period and the same area of origin as the visual materials; these are supplemented with explanatory text. From this combination evolves something like a Gesamtkunstwerk (a total work of art), a complete new way of digital art presentation.
The Musick's Monument Foundation has launched the “Dulcken, three generations of harpsichord and fortepiano builders” project.
When you say Dulcken, you say Antwerp. A famous figure, but one with a very brief biography to date.

When “Dulcken” is one of your direct ancestors, you want to tap into all sources to create an honest picture of his life. Going back to the sources means checking what others have already found, sifting through meaningful archives2* and endlessly searching for clues on untrodden paths. The result is surprising new facts about his origins, family and work. Progenitor of master instrument makers.
Hans Meijer's genealogical research into his ancestors revealed Jan Dulken, born in Hasselt. Jan Dulken's parents were J.L. Dulcken and Catrina Kooningh.

The harpsichord-maker of the greatest eminence was J. Dan. Dulcken; he was a Hessian. At present there is a good workman at Antwerp, of the name of Bull, who was Dulcken's apprentice, and who sells his double harpsichords for a hundred ducats each, with only plain painted cases, and without swell or pedals; the work too of Van den Elsche, a Flamand, has a considerable share of merit; but, in general, the present harpsichords, made here after the Ruckers model, are thin, feeble in tone, and much inferior to those of our best makers in England.

Susanne Maria Knöpffel (Sankt Goar 11 September 1706 – † Heerde 12 June 1789)

Brün, (Sophie Le), the daughter of the famous Bavarian court musician Ludwig August Le Brün, and the great singer Franziska Le Brün, née Danzi, was born in London on 20 July 1781, learnt the basics of music in Munich with Knechtl, the piano with Streicher, and the basso continuo with Schlett, and married the royal Bavarian mechanical piano maker Johann Ludwig Dülken in Munich on 18 April 1799. She is a true artist on the piano in every respect, and plays this instrument with spiritual expression, true feeling and extraordinary skill. When she travelled to Paris, Switzerland and Italy, her excellent playing enchanted every listener, and connoisseurs and artists conceded her the first rank in this art. In addition to this, she sings very well, has a deep insight into the essentials of music, combines her great practical musical knowledge with theoretical knowledge to the same degree, and has a thorough understanding of composition. She has composed several concertos, sonatas and the like for the piano; it is a pity that they have not become generally known through engraving or printing.
On 25 June 1831 Louis Dulcken relinquished his post as royal keyboard instrument maker; he died five years later. In his will Dulcken named as heirs his wife Sophie Lebrun (b London, 20 June 1781–d Munich, 23 July 1863), his sons Theobald and Heinrich, his married daughters Louise and Franziska Bohrer, and his then unmarried daughters Violande, Johanna, and Caroline Dulcken. Theobald as business manager and Heinrich as builder apparently completed their father’s commitments after his death but soon closed the shop. Both sons eventually moved to London where Theobald became a wool merchant and Heinrich an organist. Louise and Franziska had married the brothers Max and Anton Bohrer; Louise became court pianist in Stuttgart. Violande became a concert singer in Munich. Dulcken's son Theobald became Louis partner about 1816, and the business continued until 1831, when Louis Dulcken retired.

Heinrich Dulcken, organist, 1801 Married to Auguste Burghaagen

De Stichting Musick’s Monument maakt historische muziekvideo’s, waarbij de muziek, de kostuums, de muziekinstrumenten en de achtergrond één geheel vormen. Daarbij wordt er een verklarende tekst toegevoegd op de website, zie: musicksmonument.com of musicksmonument.nl Zo ontstaat een soort Gesamtkunstwerk, een compleet nieuwe manier van digitale kunst presentatie. De toeschouwer wordt als het ware meegenomen naar de tijd en de sfeer van het betreffende onderwerp. In deze producties staat de muziek centraal, zonder gesproken teksten.
