1890 PIANO 1ed History of American Pianoforte Music Harpsichord Thomas Jefferson
Daniel Spillane’s “History of the American Pianoforte” is a rare, late 19th-century history of the development and use of the piano in America. The fortepiano was an early precursor to the modern day grand piano invented at the beginning of the 18th-century. Spillane describes the similarities between the piano and the harpsichord and the earliest American piano makers. In fact, this work includes Thomas Jefferson’s relationship with piano-making in Philadelphia.
This 1890 first edition includes numerous full-page and in-text illustrations of pianos and harpsichords, portraits of piano makers, and much more.
