In environmental protection: fight against airplane noise flying - the most beautiful form of transportation. At least for those who sit inside. For others, flying is often associated with noise. Our industrial world without the means of transport, aircraft would be self-conscious. Noise but gets sick. An unsolvable problem?
A look behind the scenes shows noise abatement starts in detail - when good Earfl for example. And she continues to modern airports, where noise protection structures reduce the acoustic emissions. But the most effective noise abatement is only at the source - on the engine. Although there will be never silent engines, certainly, but quietly. An engine is quieter when you build it bigger, power: then you need not fully extend the strong thrust. Also the Deutsche Lufthansa is involved in worldwide conversion programme by the noisy Jet engine of the first generation to the whispering coat engine. The necessary test runs of new, serviced and overhauled engines are handled in sound swallowing halls.
In collaboration with the Frankfurt airport Lufthansa has developed a noise abatement program in the air: a steeper and faster - and thus quieter start and landing operations. Computer and probes to monitor the arrival and departure of machines. The Frankfurt airport company has installed 16 monitoring stations in particularly noise-damaged areas. Who flies too loud, or disregarded the flight paths, is captured and made the speech.
The new start and landing operations of the Lufthansa has the IATA, the Organization of international airlines, pilots recommended. More and more airports the flight captains make this noise-reducing method to the provision. Fly - but silent: New flight techniques and low-noise engines have closer a good bit this goal. This technique: noble noble sound from fine wood sounded from fine wood - one of the most famous musical instruments in the world - the Steinway grand piano is produced for almost 100 years in Hamburg made of precious woods for years be dried in the open air. The housing - the resonance body key for the sonority - is bent in the shape of the wing. Despite use of machines: Wing construction remained largely handmade. Each instrument is unique. Today, almost half a million instruments have been built in this way in the Steinway factories in Hamburg and New York.
The history of the House began, when the German piano maker Henry Engelhard, emigrated to America in 1853 in New York the company Steinway & Sons founded Steinway. One of his seminal inventions: the cross side comprising silberling iron frame. "Mechanics" called the attack apparatus from buttons, feathers and hammers. Its installation requires precision and flair. Optimum sound with the Intonier master. The crucial work at the end of a long manufacturing process. Only after ten years training one has acquired the ability, to coordinate the 88 tones.
What pianist Franz Liszt especially appreciate to Artur Rubinstein at the Steinway Grand, is his inimitable sound. A world-famous pianist described him thus: 'brilliantly in the treble, singing in the middle layer, and powerfully in the bass.'

This dance: ballet scene Hamburg the Hamburg State Opera Ballet and its Director, the American John Neumeier. The ensemble owes him that it danced on the ramp of the German ballet scene. The young American had international merits, before he came to Germany. For stations in the United States, England and Denmark he was the youngest 1970 Frankfurt Ballet Director - at the age of 29 in Germany. Neumeier in Hamburg working since 1973. His goal was a ballet company with its distinctive face. Classical training is the basis on which modern new techniques will be tested. Neumeier's opinion, a ballet lives if it is desklassischen vocabulary serves to tell of the people and of the human relationships. And a choreographer who uses the forms developed from the tradition to the representation and at the same time developed it is modern for Neumeier. The movement of the people in space and time is the stuff from which the dance is made. Neumeier forms the dancers not used him like a 'doll', but also makes its individual expressiveness for the overall choreography can be used. The performances of the young American have the reputation to be unconventional and original. Even a ballet classics like Tchaikovsky's '' Swan Lake '' WINS Neumeier's new look in the editing.
