Now in paperback! Hugely popular in the 19th century, and starting
to regain popularity now, the literature for multiple pianos is
relatively unknown. J.S. Bach began the history of keyboard music
for three or more players around 1730; Mozart contributed to the
literature. Other important composers_Czerny, Moscheles, Smetana,
Glazunov, Rachmaninoff_continued the tradition for particular
pianists and occasions. Louis Moreau Gottschalk used a large number
of pianos and pianists for his popularly acclaimed 'monster
concerts' in the Americas. By the early 20th century, a mass of
transcriptions and arrangements had accumulated. Later in the
century, such important 20th-century composers as Ives, Stravinsky,
Antheil, Orff, Dallapiccola, Milhaud, and others composed original
works for the medium. Includes a comprehensive bibliography with an
illustrative, detailed guide to the catalogue. Cloth edition
originally published in 1993.
