Featuring more than 100 extraordinary pieces from around the world
and spanning thousands of years, this book displays the astounding
diversity of musical instruments. Highlights include Bronze Age
cymbals, the earliest known piano, violins made by Stradivari, slit
drums from Oceania, and iconic 20th-century American guitars.
Stunning new photographs reveal these objects to be works of
musical and visual art-marvels of technology and masterpieces of
design. Each object is explored in fascinating text describing its
historical use; its sound or the technological developments that
gave rise to the form of music played upon it; details about its
notable makers, owners, or players; or its construction and
decoration. Related works-paintings, textiles, statues, and pottery
that depict instruments and music making-complement and further
illuminate the narrative which provides a lively and insightful
appreciation of musical instruments that will appeal to art and
music lovers everywhere. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of
Art/Distributed by Yale University Press
