Although eighteenth-century Viennese keyboard music, especially by
such composers as Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, is among the most
popular ever written, there has been surprisingly little serious
research into the instruments for which it was composed.
Consequently myths and guesses abound, while accurate and reliable
information is hard to come by. This book fills that gap. Based on
evidence from primary source material, much of it previously
undiscovered or neglected, Maunder traces the history and
development of the various keyboard instruments available in Vienna
throughout the eighteenth century-harpsichords, clavichords, and
pianos-and their use by composers and performers. There are
detailed descriptions of many surviving Viennese instruments,
several of which have only recently come to light; contemporary
newspaper advertisements for over 1200 keyboard instruments are
reproduced, in the original German as well as in English
translation; and an alphabetical list of eighteenth-century
Viennese makers includes much newly-discovered biographical
information as well as some previously unknown names.
