Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Early Keyboard Instruments, From Their Beginnings to the Year 1820' is a comprehensive exploration of the technical and artistic evolution of keyboard instruments. Author Philip James provides a detailed analysis of the mechanisms, craftsmanship, and aesthetic developments of instruments such as the clavichord, harpsichord, virginal, and the early pianoforte. Covering a vast historical span until the early 19th century, the work examines how these instruments influenced musical composition and performance practices throughout Europe.With a focus on organology and historical context, the text highlights the transition from the delicate plucked and struck strings of the Renaissance and Baroque eras to the more complex hammer actions that defined the rise of the modern piano. This scholarship is an essential resource for musicians, historians, and collectors interested in the intricate lineage of keyboard music. The work serves as a vital bridge between the medieval origins of keyed instruments and the sophisticated technological advancements of the Industrial Revolution, offering unique insights into the materials and design choices of master builders from centuries past.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
