This book explores the history of keyboard instruments from their
fourteenth-century origins to the development of the modern piano.
It reveals the principles of their design and describes structural
and mechanical developments through the medieval and renaissance
periods and eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuries, as well as the
early music revival. Stewart Pollens identifies and describes the
types of keyboard instruments played by major composers and
virtuosi through the ages and provides the reader with detailed
instructions on their regulating, stringing, tuning and voicing
drawn from historical sources.
