A grand collection of keyboard fact and falderal, this book is designed to enthrall, entertain, educate and electrify those who play, tune, teach or simply love the instrument of the immortals.
Packed with illustrations, Passion for the Piano's lively repertoire ranges from the historical to the practical: how to shop for a piano; how to fix sticky keys and broken strings; to the personal: anecdotes about keyboard stars from Artur Rubinstein to Herbie Hancock to Liberace; to the purely fanciful: quizzes, questionnaires and quirky facts highlighting the piano in literature, film and even politics.
The author is writer and piano-lover Judith Oringer. Long out of print, this treasure of piano lore is available, new, only from Friendship House. Paperback, 7 1/2" x 9 1/4". 170 pages. All ages.
