This volume offers
the reader a journey into
the highways and byways
of the culture of
the pianoforte, covering
certain new aspects. The
range of themes treated
is vast, proof of the
central nature of the
instrument in European
musical life on the cusp
of the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. On
the basis of original
research, investigations
have been made into the
different ways in which
the spread of instruments
and printed music
occurred; into the
movements of musicians
circulating from one end
of Europe to the other;
into the circulation of
genres, forms, musical
styles and stylistic
elements conveyed
including through the
teaching of the
instrument; into the
presence of the
pianoforte in the
European literature and
the arrangements for
instruments at the
beginning of the
nineteenth century; into
the role of the
pianoforte in certain
important centres in
Europe and the United
States. A rich period for
European music,
therefore, in which the
opportunities for contact
and mutual exchange among
the musicians were
particularly intense and
in which the pianoforte
acted as a catalyst in
private and public
musical life in all the
cities of Europe.
The
volume comes with the
bonus of a CD, appositely
providing pianoforte
sonatas by Cramer,
Hummel, Eberl and
Beethoven.
