A Dictionary of Pianists and Composers for the Pianoforte by Ernst Pauer Pdf

Excerpt from A Dictionary of Pianists and Composers for the Pianoforte: With an Appendix of Manufacturers of the Instrument OF all musical instruments, the Pianoforte is decidedly the most popular, and, with but few exceptions, every composer of instrumental music has written longer or shorter works for it. The interest we take in a composer and performer is certainly enhanced by knowing the country and time of his birth or death, the names, respectively, of his teachers and pupils, what his appointments were, and the distinctions which were conferred on him. To give some short and concise information on these points is the aim Of this book, which follows the scheme of the popular and useful fach-lexica, issued at Leipzig by the Bibliographical Institute. It is a special book, which deals only with the Piano, and thus the productions of composers in other branches of the musical art are not within its scope. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
