"A History of the Pianoforte and Pianoforte Players" by Oskar Bie is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the evolution of the pianoforte as an instrument and the historical context surrounding its players, tracing developments from early music to its influence on contemporary composers. The narrative is likely rich with biographical insights into key musicians and their contributions to the craft. At the start of the book, the author frames the pianoforte as a vital instrument in domestic music culture, contrasting it with grand public performances of opera. He notes the intimacy and depth that a private performance can evoke, specifically referencing Queen Elizabeth I and her experience at the spinet. Through this perspective, Bie sets the stage for exploring the historical significance of performances and the evolution of the pianoforte, hinting at deeper themes regarding music's place in society and its growth through notable figures and periods, such as the Elizabethan era.
