A focused history of the Erard piano
Robert Adelson traces the Erard piano’s place in the instrument’s development from the late eighteenth century through the final decades of the nineteenth. Centering a single influential maker rather than offering a broad general history, the book frames Erard’s instruments as an important—and often leading—presence across a formative period for the piano. Its 238 pages provide a concentrated subject study within piano and keyboard history.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Piano enthusiasts interested in the instrument’s historical development
- Musicians and music-history readers exploring nineteenth-century keyboard instruments
- Readers interested in the history of piano making
