Excerpt from How the Piano Came to Be From the dried sinews stretched across the shell of a dead tortoise to the concert-grand piano of the present day is a far flight. Yet to this primitive source, it is said, may be traced the evolution of the stringed instrument which reached its culmination in the piano. The latter has been aptly called the household orchestra, and in tracing its origin one must go far back into the annals of the past. If we accept the Bible as history, and it is the greatest of all histories, the stringed instrument is of very ancient date. It is recorded that the ambassadors.

Excerpt from The Book of Complete Information About Pianos Rubinstein, the great prince of pianists, said I prefer the piano to any other instrument because it is a musical entity; all other instruments, including the human voice, are fragmentary to a certain extent. No other instrument so delights both the highly cultivated sense of musicians and the natural, untrained musical taste of the great majority; none other completely satisfies the demands of the most skilful and at the same time yields such gratifying results to the beginner. It is suited to the largest concert hall or the cosiest home. It is adapted to all places and all occasions. It is the universal instrument.

Excerpt from The Pianoforte and Its Music If, now, I were asked to give a brief but com prehensive definition of the pianoforte, whose or igin, growth, and present status are to occupy our attention in the first large subdivision of this study, I should say that it is an instrument of music the tones of which are generated by strings set in vibration by blows delivered by hammers controlled by a keyboard, the mechanism of which is so adjusted that the force of the blow and the dynamic intensity of the resultant tone are meas urably at the command of the player. Also that it has a sound-board, or resonance-box, to augment the tone after its creation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Development of the Construction of the Pianoforte in AmericaIn order to understand more comprehensively and sympathetical-l ly the history of the American pianoforte, knowledge of the heri tage bequeathed to the early American inventors is necessary. The precursors of the pianoforte divide themselves into four groups. The monochord, the first of this series, was an instrument used by Pythagoras (582 b.c.) for experiments in the mathematical relation of musical sounds. A single string, presumably catgut, was strung over a wooden box. Directly underneath the string a strip of paper was glued to the top of the box, on which the sections and subdivisions corresponding with the intervals of the scale were marked. The monochord came into universal use among the Greeks, and also in the Roman churches as an instrument to sound the key note for chorus singing. To assure a quicker and more correct ih tonation, Guido d'arrezzo (about 1100 a.d.) used a movable bridge under the string of the monochord, After this invention, further improvements came rapidly. The clavis or keys were applied to the monochord, which then was built with more than one string. Each clavis or key had a tangent or pricker. As soon as the clavis was pressed down, this tangent would prick the string on the proper divisions of the scale, and cause the sounding of the correct tone. The use of the clavis soon led to an increase in the number of.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

How would you feel receiving piano lessons from a world-renowned and seasoned concert pianist? Indeed, such sessions would be delightfully challenging and insightful ones, as you're inclined to receive all his instructions without question and with full confidence in his expertise and abilities. This is also the attitude that one should adopt when going through Mark Hambourg's This How to Play the Piano. The author himself recommends any piano student to have a "really good and experienced professor" - someone which the famous pianist himself was although he did not insinuate his credentials in this way. He dispenses practical advice regarding the maintenance of one's health as a performer and the decorum one must adopt in performing in public. Hambourg also includes a number of helpful illustrations that the reader can follow easily. He tackles the basics in playing the piano and moves things gradually to the more challenging aspects of performing with such an instrument, such as using the pedal and "making the piano sing." In addition to these, the Russian-British musician also gives tips on selecting and caring for your own piano. Though this volume may be written many decades ago, the principles and tips laid out by its author are still relevant and applicable to the modern piano student, whether young or old, naturally adept or just plain curious. Readers will also get more insights on what it takes to be a committed performer through Hambourg's non-musical advice and be inspired by his words.

Excerpt from The Pianoforte and Its Acoustic Properties The study of music properly initiates its students only then when, together with the acquiring of technic, it arouses their souls by implanting in their minds a knowledge and conception of the tonal art. For piano makers also, there is such a study: it is the science of acoustics. The early violin makers pursued the study of acoustics after their fashion and they possessed a wonderful understanding of the undulations and vibrations of their instruments. All the old masters have probably passed through trying periods, in which they sought, by means of experiments, to further instruct themselves and increase their knowledge. They learned closely to observe and discriminate, gleaning from nature a definite method according to which they regulated their instruments. They must have understood the nature of their instruments thoroughly, being unable, however, to find scientific names to express the results of their experiments. Through untiring research and persistent experiments, they acquired and developed an acute sense of feeling and mental perception, which was of great assistance to them in their work and which is evidenced to day by the instruments preserved to us. Not a prescribed measuring of surface with a compasses, nor yet a copy of a model, guaranties the complete success of an instrument, but the sense of feeling must render material aid, since only he.
