A fascinating history of the piano explored through 100 pieces chosen by one of the UK’s most renowned concert pianists
“Tomes . . . casts her net widely, taking in chamber music & concertos, knotty avant-garde masterworks & (most welcome) jazz.”—Richard Fairman, Financial Times, “Best Books of 2021: Classical Music”
“[One of] the most beautiful books I got my hands on this year. . . . About the shaping of this maddening, glorious, unconquerable instrument.”—Jenny Colgan, Spectator, “Books of the Year”
An astonishingly versatile instrument, the piano allows just two hands to play music of great complexity & subtlety. For more than two hundred years, it has brought solo & collaborative music into homes and concert halls & has inspired composers in every musical genre—from classical to jazz and light music.
Charting the development of the piano from the late eighteenth century to the present day, pianist & writer Susan Tomes takes the reader with her on a personal journey through 100 pieces including solo works, chamber music, concertos, & jazz. Her choices include composers such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Gershwin, & Philip Glass. Looking at this history from a modern performer’s perspective, she acknowledges neglected women composers & players including Fanny Mendelssohn, Maria Szymanowska, Clara Schumann, & Amy Beach.
