New book: A Natural History of the Piano
My attention has been drawn to a new book that looks very interesting, called A Natural History of the Piano. It seems to be getting good reviews, and I look forward to finding out more about it:
Gramophone:
Fascinating… and richly informative…Isacoff’s prose easily builds bridges and blurs boundaries between classical and jazz… Isacoff’s keen instinct for linking the past to the present and telling… a good story should inspire piano novices to investigate the world of what the author calls ‘the most important instrument ever created’.
