"Les pianistes célèbres: silhouettes & médaillons" by A. Marmontel is a biographical collection written in the late 19th century. The work features sketches of renowned pianists, showcasing their contributions to music and their unique styles. Marmontel's intent is to illuminate the artistry and character of these musicians, providing insights into their lives and the music they created. The opening of the book establishes the author's purpose in compiling studies of famous pianists into a single volume, reflecting on the public's positive reception of his previous articles. Marmontel emphasizes his commitment to truth and aesthetic appreciation, stating his desire to present these musicians not just as notable figures in music history, but as individuals with rich personal narratives.
