The Piano: An Encyclopedia
was selected in its first edition as a Choice Outstanding Book and
remains a fascinating and unparalleled reference work. The instrument
has been at the center of music history with even composers of large
symphonic work asserting that they do not write anything without
sketching it out first on a piano; its limitations and expressive
capacity have done much to shape the contours of the western musical
idiom. Within the scope of this user-friendly guide is everything from
the acoustics and construction of the piano to the history of the
companies that have built them.
