Beginning with J.S. Bach's harpsichord concertos composed in the
beginning of the eighteenth century, John Harris embarks on a
musical tour that takes the reader from Germany and Austria through
Europe, North America, South America, and Asia, tracing the history
of music composed for harpsichord or piano and orchestra. The
organization of the book follows the spread of the Baroque
harpsichord concerto across countries. Divided into four parts,
J.S. Bach to Mozart (the baroque era), Mozart through Beethoven
(the classic era), After Beethoven through Brahms (the romantic
era), and After Brahms through the Present (the twentieth century),
each part begins with an examination of the works composed in
Germany, followed by Italy. European countries east of the
north-south line through Germany and Italy appear next, followed by
countries west of that line. The consistent organization in each
part allows a quick comparison of the growing number of concerted
works for harpsichord or piano in each era. When data is available,
Harris lists the composers' birth and death dates, as well as dates
of the musical compositions. The work includes a discography,
bibliography, 46 tables of additional composers listed by country,
a list of pertinent abbreviations, and index of composers.
