abstract Henry Ziegler Steinway (August 23, 1915 – September 18, 2008) was the last Steinway president of the piano company Steinway & Sons. He was the great-grandson of the company founder Henry E. Steinway and started at the firm in 1937 after graduating from Harvard University, was president from 1955 to 1977. He was the first president of NAMM Museum of Making Music. The 2007 National Medal of Arts was awarded to Henry Z. Steinway and presented by US President George Bush on 15 November 2007 in an East Room ceremony at the White House. Henry Z. Steinway received the award for "his devotion to preserving and promoting quality craftsmanship and performance; as an arts patron and advocate for music and music education; and for continuing the fine tradition of the Steinway piano as an international symbol of American ingenuity and cultural excellence.". The National Medal of Arts is a presidential initiative managed by the National Endowment for the Arts. In celebration of his 91st birthday and honoring a lifetime of service to the company, Steinway & Sons introduced a series of Henry Z. Steinway Limited Edition pianos in ebony or East Indian rosewood with distinctive music stands bearing cutwork of the initials HZS. The pianos were advertised nationally. A small cast bronze ovoid plaque inside each such piano bears relief sculpture portraits of the Steinway family company presidents, along with a space for the serial number to be stamped. A total of 91 HZS pianos were authorized: one for each year of his life at the time. He died aged 93 in New York City, the place of his birth. G1
