Baldomer Cateura (1856-1929). El piano-pédalier, la mandolina espanyola i el trípode de subjecció: apunts sobre la recepció dels seus invents Authors Anna Maria Anglada i Mas Abstract Baldomer Cateura i Turró (1856-1929), a native of Palamós, invented the Spanish mandolin and the supporting tripod, and he published the method entitled Escuela de mandolina española (School of the Spanish Mandolin). He was also the inventor of the piano-pédalier, i.e., a system of pedals permitting the piano to produce more sonorities. These inventions reached Barcelonan society at the end of the 19th century, after Cateuras period as a bandurria player. Cateura had contact with great musicians of his times, including Felip Pedrell, Manel Burgès, Camille Saint-Saëns, Francesc Tàrrega, Carlos Terraza and Miquel Llobet. He received considerable media attention at the end of the 19th century after displaying his inventions at the Barcelona Fine Arts Exposition of 1896, and later at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900, and he also appeared throughout Europe, internationalising his musical inventions. Despite the lack of much pertinent material and the studies which still remain to be made of Cateura, this paper provides a deeper look at the reception of his inventions, giving a new view of this subject by considering the social environment in which he presented his work as an inventor, a musician and a manufacturer.
