Additional information
by Alfred Dolge (Author)
This vintage book is a comprehensive history of the development of the piano from the monochord to the concert grand player piano. "Pianos And Their Makers" provides extensive historical information on notable figures and their contributions to the evolution of the piano. It is highly recommended for those with an interest in musical history and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "The Monochord, Pythagoras, Guido of Arezzo, the Chinese Ke", "The Clavicytherium, Italy and Germany", "The Clavichord, Daniel Faber, Bach, Beethoven", "The Spinet, Giovanni Spinnetti", "The Harpsichord and its Development", "The Pianoforte, Christofori, Marius, Schröter, Silbermann, Backers, Stein, Germam, Austrian, and English Schools, Friederici", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing "Medicinal Plants" now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction. First published in 1911.
