About this title:
Synopsis: For more than a century the piano has occupied a dominant place in music and society. Here, Ehrlich traces the instrument's fascinating history from the fortepiano of Mozart's time, and the Victorian's "household orchestra and god," to the most sophisticated modern products of the Japanese manufacturers. Updated and revised by the author to include recent developments, this book will captivate musicians, historians, and all lovers of the piano.
From the Back Cover: Based on exhaustive research in international archives this definitive and highly acclaimed history of the piano examines its technical and musical background, dealing at the same time with its social and economic importance-including the role designated for it by the Victorians.
