Opis

Illustrated with music examples throughout, the book features a unique appendix containing five pieces written specially for the instrument by the composers of the day.

Recenzje

the distinctive type of instrument invented by Sir George Wheatstone (1802-75) in 1829 is the subject of Alan W. Atlas's authoritative and beautifully produced book, which, it is safe to predict, will never be superseded.
