The Piano Across Time

Coinciding with World Piano Day, this new book contains over 100 photographs and explores that remarkable instrument, the piano. Also known as pianoforte, even Joanner or Pianner by some, the story is told of the instrument’s roots as an Italian invention of the eighteenth century through to pianolas, pub pianos and right up to modern-day pianos in the home, concert hall and on street corners or railway station platforms.

Commissioned and published by Amberley, it is available direct from Amberley Books, and also here at £14.95.
