This is the first comprehensive study of the life and work of
Bartolomeo Cristofori, the Paduan-born harpsichord maker and
contemporary of Antonio Stradivari, who is credited with having
invented the pianoforte around the year 1700 while working in the
Medici court in Florence. Through thorough analysis of documents
preserved in the State Archive of Florence, Pollens has
reconstructed, in unprecedented technical detail, Cristofori's
working life between his arrival in Florence in 1688 and his death
in 1732. This book will be of interest to pianists, historians of
the piano, musicologists, museum curators and conservators, as well
as keyboard instrument makers, restorers, and tuners.
