About This Item
USA: Control Data . Very Good/Good. 1981. First Edition. Hard Cover. Sm 4to 0898935059 Dust jacket repaired tears, price clipped. Black cloth with bright titling on spine. Previous owner's inscription on ffep. 124 pages clean and tight. No other family of musical instruments has such a vast and varied repertoire as the keyboards or holds such universal appeal. This is due in part to the fact that they offer something to everyone: beginning student, virtuoso, and listener alike. They are equally suited to the performance of Bach chorales. Strauss waltzes, honky-tonk blues, hymns, and the most contemporary compositions. In Keyboard Instruments, Clive Unger-Hamilton explores the world of keyboards in depth and detail. He first analyses the three families of keyboard instruments - struck, plucked, and blown. He then explores five centuries of music written especially for keyboards. Finally, he lists the hundred most significant performers, from Oscar Peterson to Artur Rubinstein, and comments on particular aspects of their playing and the fields in which they excel. Keyboard Instruments is a book for those who gave up their music lessons too soon and regretted it; those who never began studying and wish they had; and those who discovered the delights of keyboard music through concerts or recordings and want to know more. It is for all music lovers who seek a clearer understanding of the instruments, the men and women who play them, and the music they play. Includes 150 illustrations, a glossary, and an index. .
