Makers of the Harpsichord and Clavichord 1440-1840

Résumé du livre

The third edition of Donald Boalch's Makers of the Harpsichord and Clavichord, 1440-1840 is a thorough revision of the second edition published in 1974. Part I contains biographical details of all known makers, including some 500 not listed previously, and updated entries for more than 400 makers appearing in the second edition. Enlarged (and in some cases extended) descriptions on more than 2,000 surviving instruments by the makers are consigned to Part II, and the whole is complemented by a number of tables, a geographical and chronological conspectus of makers, and a new Index of Technological Terms in seven languages by Dr Andreas H Roth.
