An alluring exploration of the people and the legendary craftsmanship behind a single Steinway piano Like no other instrument, a grand piano melds engineering feats with the magical sounds of great music: the thunder of a full-throated bass, the bright, delicate trill of the upper treble. Alone among the big piano companies, Steinway still crafts all of its pianos largely by hand, imbuing each one with the promise and burden of its brand. In this captivating narrative, James Barron of The New York Times tells the story of one Steinway piano, from raw lumber to finished instrument. Barron follows that brand-new piano-known by its number, K0862-on its eleven-month journey through the Steinway factory, where time-honored manufacturing methods vie with modern-day industrial efficiency. He looks over the shoulders of men and women-some second- and third-generation employees, some recently arrived immigrants-who transform wood and steel into a concert grand. Together, they carry on the traditions begun more than 150 years ago by the immigrants who founded Steinway & Sons-a family that soared to prominence in the music world and, for a while, in New York City's political and economic life. Barron also explores the art and science of developing a piano's timbre and character before its first performance, when the essential question will be answered: Does K0862 live up to the Steinway legend? From start to finish, Piano will charm and enlighten music lovers.

(Faber Piano Adventures ). Written for ages 5 and 6, My First Piano Adventure captures the child's playful spirit. Fun-filled songs, rhythm games and technique activities develop beginning keyboard skills. Three distinguishing features of the Lesson Book A make it unique and effective for the young 5-6 year old beginner. 1. A strong focus on technique embedded in the book through playful technique games, chants, and carefully-composed pieces that gently lead the child into pianistic motions. 2. An outstanding CD for the young student to listen, sing, tap, and play along with at the piano. The orchestrated songs on the CD feature children singing the lyrics, which has great appeal to the 5-6 year old beginner. The CD becomes a ready-made practice partner that guides the student and parent for all the pieces and activities in the books. 3. The fanciful art features five multi-cultural children who are also learning to play. These friends at the piano introduce basic rhythms, white key names, and a variety of white and black-key songs that span classical, folk, and blues. Young students will listen, sing, create, and play more musically with Nancy and Randall Faber s My First Piano Adventure, Lesson Book A. The Lesson Book introduces directional pre-reading, elementary music theory and technique with engaging songs, games, and creative discovery at the keyboard. Young students will enjoy the multi-cultural "friends at the piano" who introduce white-key names, basic rhythms, and a variety of songs which span classical, folk, and blues. Ear-training and eye-training are also part of the curriculum. The Fabers' instructional theory "ACE" - Analysis, Creativity, and Expression, guides the pedagogy of My First Piano Adventure. Analysis leads to understanding, creativity leads to self-discovery, and expression develops personal artistry. The CD for this book offers a unique listening experience with outstanding orchestrations and vocals. The recordings demonstrate a key principle of the course: when children listen, sing, tap, and move to their piano music, they play more musically. View Helpful Introductory Videos Here

This beautifully written history of the piano is at once remarkably informative and uniquely engaging. Performer and historian Richard Burnett traces the development of the piano from its origins to the present day, drawing on keyboard instruments from his internationally known collection, at the Finchcocks Museum in Kent, England.Sixty-one of these instruments, including organs, harpsichords, clavichords, and a wide range of pianos, feature in what amounts to a ground-breaking social history of the piano.Richard Burnett is an international concert pianist who acquired Finchcocks, the beautiful Georgian mansion in 1971 as a home for his collection. His fascinating book ingeniously interweaves the biographies of the pianos with the history of the various manufacturing firms and the remarkable lives of some of the builders and the musicians associated with them, all set against the vividly depicted social backdrop of the periods under review.In the second part of his book, the author looks particularly at how the development of the instruments has influenced the output of the classical composers - Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Weber, Schubert and others. The fast-flowing anecdotal style of the writing means that this will be of interest and entertainment to the general reader, as well as those who already have some knowledge of the subject.The book also includes a comlimentary CD, in which the music of 33 of the Finchcocks period instruments can be heard being played by Richard Burnett and Steven Devine."This is a handsome book and it makes a fine coffee-table present for any music and piano lover." John Amis - broadcaster, music presenter, performer and the 'symphony man' in the long-running radio show, 'My Music'."This book is a landmark in music."Alan Hacker, OBE - one of the world's top clarinettist's."This is the best book I have read (or heard) on the subject and recommend it highly." Rick Ohlendorf, Piano Tuners Association News"After reading Company of Pianos, I found myself playing Beethoven with a heightened awareness ... and for that alone I am grateful." Angela Hewitt, Times Literary Supplement"Anecdotal, wryly humorous and authoritative ...the text of the Company of Pianos by itself would be an essential purchase for pianophiles. But the standard to which the book has been produced is something else." Jeremy Nicholas, Piano International''Company of Pianos might have been entitled 'In the Company of Richard Burnett'.... For those who do not know him and for us all, this is a work that reveals the delightful and impassioned character of one who has done so much for the historical piano, not only as a player and a collector but also as its advocate and true restorer''. Early Music Magazine"The author takes us on a social and historical journey that is entertaining, witty, lucid and informed, but never dull or pedantic. A delight to the mind, the ears and the eyes. The Company of Pianos is good company indeed." Southern California Early Music Society"Every music school, serious pianist, library and early-music enthusiast should have this wonderful volume." Paul James Dwyer, Opus Magazine"... No music lovers, be they pianists, listeners or historians can afford to be without this fascinating and enlightening book."
