How The Piano Came To Be is a historical account of the evolution of the piano, written by Ellye Howell Glover and originally published in 1913. The book traces the development of the instrument from its earliest predecessors, such as the harp and the clavichord, through to the modern grand piano. Along the way, the author explores the contributions of key figures in the piano's history, including Bartolomeo Cristofori, who is credited with inventing the first true piano in the early 18th century. The book also delves into the social and cultural impact of the piano, examining its role in the rise of classical music and its significance as a symbol of wealth and status. Throughout the text, Glover provides detailed descriptions of the mechanics and inner workings of the piano, making this a valuable resource for musicians, historians, and anyone interested in the history of music.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
