520 $aThis book presents a comprehensive and easily accessible history of literature for all stringed keyboard instruments, focusing on mainstream works in the current concert repertoire for pianists. It describes and catalogs the literature, examining the basic structure and key features of each major composition, and outlines important schools of composition, trends in the history of keyboard music, and influences on composers and individual compositions. Commentary on every major composer is provided, with special attention to the piano repertoire of the late eighteenth century and published sources for the works discussed. The book begins with a survey of the development of keyboard instruments, moving on to a survey of European and English keyboard music to the end of the Renaissance. The chapters on Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert discuss all the sonatas written by each composer.
