The author follows the piano's history, from the fortepiano of Mozart's time to the most sophisticated modern products of the Japanese manufacturers and looks at the professional musicians, the hire-purchase touts and fashionable ladies, amongst others.
For more than a century the piano occupied a dominant place in music and society. Professor Ehrlich follows its fascinating history from the fortepiano of Mozart''s time, through the Victorians'' `household orchestra and god'', to the most sophisticated modern products of the Japanese manufacturers. His protagonists include barnstorming virtuosi, fashionable ladies and aspiring clerks, the great makers and the back-street `garrett-masters'', distinguished musicians, and hire-purchase touts. Originally published in 1976 by Dent, this book has now been updated and revised by the author in the light of developments of recent years.
