Description and Table of Contents
Description
Material for this book (fully updated and revised) is drawn mainly from The New Grove Dictionary of Musical Instruments and includes the articles on the construction and history of the piano, piano playing, and the repertory of the instrument from the Classical period to the present day. This is supplemented by an entirely new section on pianists, written by Harold Schonberg. The book is a comprehensive guide, suitable for all those who have an interest in the instrument either as performers, instrument makers, or historians.
