Opis

This book continues the overview of early pianos begun in Clinkscale's Makers of the Piano 1700-1820 (OUP, 1993). Although a few of the biographies overlap, the majority of the makers are completely new. Approximately 2,400 makers and manufacturers and about 2,200 pianos are listed. Of this total, about 645 are English, the majority of whom were active in London; more than 200 of the London makers have not been discussed in previous publications.

Recenzje

Digesting this book will take a great deal of time, and will accompany the examination of many pianos....Comparing what we see to what Professor Clinkscale has compiled will help in the endless process of unraveling the details of the piano's history....indispensable to that enterprise.
