Men, Women, and Pianos: A Social HistoryDover Publications, 1990 - 654 páginas As the social anchor in middle-class homes of the nineteenth century, the piano was simultaneously an elegant piece of drawing-room furniture, a sign of bourgeois prosperity, and a means of introducing the young to music. In this admirably balanced and leisurely account of the popular instrument, the late, internationally known concert pianist Arthur Loesser takes a piano's-eye view of the recent social history of Western Europe and the United States. |
