Product Description
Internationally known pianist's delightful "piano's-eye view" of western European and American social history (17th century to the present). With wit and erudition, Mr. Loesser traces the history of the instrument's design and manufacture and music written for it — from the clavichord and harpsichord to the modern spinet and concert grand.
