Automatic Pianos: A Collector's Guide to the Pianola, Barrel Piano, & Aeolian Orchestrelle by Arthur W. J. G. Ord-Hume (Author)

Book description
The era of the self-playing or automatic piano embraced the first three decades of the 20th century. Piano-playing cabinets were followed by the pneumatic player-piano, soon to be known the world over by the name of the leading American make - Pianola. There were many other makes, of course, with names like Kastonome, Triumph, Pistonola, Claviola, Autoplayer and Apollo. Invented almost simultaneously in Germany and America, player pianos became the most sought-after addition to the family home and the huge industry that built them and made their perforated paper music rolls became both important and wealthy. This book, written by a world-renowned authority on mechanical music and its instruments, relates the development of the automatic piano from the spring-powered dulcimer-playing musical clocks of the 16th century through the once-popular barrel-playing pianos and street pianos to the great era of the Reproducing Piano that could bring a famous artist's interpretation of a musical classic into your own drawing-room. The inventors, their perpetual quest for perfection, and their successes and failures are related in this new and fully-illustrated history. Just how the automatic piano works is described in both words and the author's own clear line-drawings, together with 603 b/w and 43 full colour photos. Also, a guide to servicing, maintaining, and playing player pianos and the magnificent Aeolian Orchestrelle roll-playing reed organ is included. Illustrated appendices include a list of makers, brand-names, and a modern-day valuation guide. 43 color and 603 b/w photos Index

Book description
This is a single-volume reissue of the catalogues of keyboard and non-keyboard musical instruments in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The instruments were collected as works of art, and among them are examples of early stringed, keyboard and wind instruments. This catalogue should be a useful resource for scholars and for anyone with a serious interest in the history of musical instruments. The pieces are fully documented, with detailed descriptions of makers, techniques and provenance.

Chinese Musical Instruments (Chinese Music Monograph Series) by Yuan-Yuan Lee (Author), Sin-Yan Shen (Author)

Book description
Pursuing our exploration of the almost limitless caverns of Chinese music and musical instruments, so much of which has never yet come to the knowledge of the rest of the world, we approach the subject from both the angles of principles and practice. Functional discussions of musical interest, cultural molding of musical psychology, instrumental effects and acoustics are emphasized. The exploration centers on the principle of cultural acoustics, i.e. the impacts of musical acoustics is strongly modified by our ear and brain which are products of culture. This popular book is written so that it requires no prior knowledge of Chinese music or acoustics. Also, no knowledge of the Chinese language is assumed. With the opening chapter we find ourselves at a focal point in the present study: The Cultural Acoustics of Chinese Musical Instruments? The cultural preference of harmony, and thus intervals and tones and rhythms used in music, distinguishes one music from another. Chinese music, however, is unique in its uninterrupted history of more than 8000 years and very early development of theoretical systematics, acoustical and material science, and orchestral practice.

Cordofones de Tecla Portugueses do Século XVII (Portuguese Stringed Keyboard Instruments of the 18th Century) by Gerhard Doderer and John Henry Van Der Meer

Book description
The history of keyboard instruments in Portugal has a special interest, not only because Domenico Scarlatti’s patron, Maria Barbara, was a Portuguese princess, but also because keyboard developments there followed a different course from the rest of Europe. The fret-free clavichord, for example, so common elsewhere in the second half of the eighteenth century, never really gained a strong following in Portugal, and Portuguese makers developed their own special version of the newly invented fortepiano.

Early Musical Instruments by David Munrow, Peter Plummer (director)

Book description
David Munrow introduces the full range of medieval and renaissance musical instruments in this newly remastered version for DVD. It was originally made as a six-part series for Granada Television, and filmed at Ordsall Hall, Salford. It represents a fascinating introduction to early musical instruments and features many memorable performances. Instruments such as the shawm, viol, crumhorn, recorder, regal, lute, tromba marina and serpent - and many more - are demonstrated with virtuosity and panache. David Munrow (1942-1976) was an English musician who brought a pioneering approach to the music of the medieval, renaissance and baroque periods. A virtuosic performer on the recorder and early wind instruments, he directed his ensemble, The Early Music Consort of London in a series of landmark recordings of early music. As well as performing and directing, he also provided the music for several films and television series, as well as writing the definitive book on early musical instruments.

Japanese Musical Instruments (Images of Asia) by Hugh de Ferranti (Author)

Book description
Libro pequeño y caro. During Japan's early history, musical instruments were seen as sources of ritual power, allowing performers to call up divine forces for inspiration and aid. As Japan developed a court and then an urbanized society, instrumental performance remained at the heart of aesthetic experience,. playing diverse roles expanded to cover nearly every part of the society. Illustrated with images drawn from picture scrolls as well as photographs of instruments as they are used in performance, Japanese Musical Instruments is a complete survey of traditional instruments. The book includes literary references to musical instruments from sources that span the tenth to the. twentieth centuries, and it describes in detail the musical instruments' dual roles as 'instruments of culture' and as devices for producing sound. Easy to use and concise, the book is a readable overview of the nation's musical heritage.

La Capilla de Música de la Catedral de Toledo (1700-1764) Evolución de un concepto sonoro by Carlos Martínez Gil

Book description
El musicólogo Carlos Martínez Gil firma este trabajo de investigación, el segundo de los títulos pertenencientes a la recién estrenada colección Música y Musicología editada por el Servicio de Publicaciones de la Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha. La Capilla de Música de la Catedral de Toledo (1700-1764): Evolución de un concepto sonoro, toma como referencia la tesis doctoral que ocupó el tiempo y la mente de su autor durante años. Desde un primer momento el profesor Martínez Gil tuvo muy claro que centraría sus trabajos de investigación en la música creada para la Catedral de Toledo. Toledano de cuna, Carlos Martínez Gil, reconoce sentir fascinación por el hermoso templo y por todo lo que en él celosamente se guarda, especialmente, por el patrimonio musicológico encargado por la Capilla a lo largo de su historia. A nuestro autor, sin embargo, no le resultó nada fácil decidir el concreto momento histórico-musical sobre el que centrar su estudio y delimitar su labor de investigación. Todo un proceso de decisión, nada fácil, que el musicólogo narra en la introducción.

Renunciando al objetivo enciclopédico de establecer un inventario exhaustivo, el autor selecciona los instrumentos más característicos dentro de cada «familia» conocida.

The Montagu Collection, of worldwide coverage and all types of instruments, began to take shape in the early 1960's when what had been a small and very random collection was then rapidly expanded to illustrate lectures, and to provide material for research, on all aspects of organology. By 1967, when Jeremy Montagu mounted an exhibition in Sheffield and for that reason started his ledger catalogue, the number of instruments had reached about 450. It has now, thirty years later, reached nearly 2,500. The Collection is always accessible to interested persons.

Syntagma musicum, II. De organographia. Parts I and II by Michael Praetorius / David Z. Crookes (Traductor)

Book description
Translated and edited from the edition of 1619 by David Z. Crookes Over the last dozen or so years the musical landscape has been changed significantly by the revival of early instrumental music. People are now making and playing many Renaissance and early baroque instruments which until recently were not even mentioned in standard dictionaries. Praetorius's De Organographia , first published in 1618, can be called the book behind the revival. While it has long been an essential tool for musicologists, it is now exercising a wider, more popular appeal as the growing multitude of instrument makers and players seek to base its efforts on this documentation Praetorius has provided. De Organographia is beyond argument the most important period book on musical instruments ever to be written. No comparable work gives us the wide range, the clarity of description, and above all the scale drawings that we find in Praetorius.

The Oxford Companion to Musical Instruments by Anthony Baines

Book description
Anthony C. Baines provides a comprehensive guide to the astonishing variety of Western and non-Western musical instruments. Each entry in this lavishly illustrated book offers a concise description of the instrument, as well as a wealth of information on such subjects as playing techniques, harmonics and circular breathing, the sound of an instrument, acoustics, pitch, an instrument's use within the orchestral repertoire or, for ethnomusicological instruments, within ritual, and significant developments in its history. Baines covers a vast array of instruments, from the common cowbell, to the Red-hot fountain pen (a novelty instrument of the 1930s), to the Celtic harp. About the Author Anthony Baines is the retired Curator of the Bate Collection of Historical Instruments in the University of Oxford. The author of several books and articles on instruments, he co-founded the Galpin Society, formed in 1946 to promote the study of musical instruments, and edited its journal 1956-63, and from 1971.
