Larry Todd Nineteenth-Century Piano Music (2nd Edition) PDF

English | 2004 | ISBN: 0415968909 | 488 Pages | PDF | 25.2 MB

This series on the history of keyboard (and piano) music should be an essential part of any pianist's library. They are individual chapters written by different authors, most of whom are experts in that particular area. Subjects include not only important composers of keyboard music, but also aspects of performance practice and the development of keyboard instruments throughout history. I highly recommend them, not only as textbooks for a course on piano literature, but also for historical information about the cultural contexts and development of the modern piano.
