1892. Fillmore writes that his objective in writing this volume
was: To discriminate clearly the natural epochs into which the
history of pianoforte music divides; to give a lucid statement and
exposition of the principles of composition which have governed and
determined the creative activity of those epochs; to trace the
development of these principles as manifested in the phenomena of
composition, and to point out the relation of the work of each
epoch to what preceded and what followed it; to call attention to
the great epoch-making composers whose work furnishes the chief
examples of those characteristic principles; to give a clear and
discriminating account of their work, a trustworthy estimate of
their relative rank and place in history, and to furnish
biographical sketches of them sufficiently full to give general
readers a not inadequate notion of the men and their lives; to
notice the work and lives of minor composers and performers with as
much fullness as the limits of the book would permit; to trace the
development of the technique of the pianoforte; to give a
sufficient account of the instruments which preceded the
pianoforte, and of their relation to that instrument.
