Reviews
"Susan Tomes...casts her net widely, taking in chamber music and concertos, knotty avant-garde masterworks and (most welcome) jazz. Her inclusions and omissions are equally fascinating."--Richard Fairman, Financial Times 'Best Books of 2021: Classical Music' "[One of] the most beautiful books I got my hands on this year...About the shaping of this maddening, glorious, unconquerable instrument."--Jenny Colgan, Spectator 'Books of the Year' "What an interesting, entertaining, and enthusiastic guide...A book that should appear on every pianophile's wishlist"--Michael MacMillan, Pianist "Susan Tomes has chosen great pieces from across the centuries and brings them alive with just enough historical, biographical and musical context."--Gulliver Ralston, Literary Review "A genuinely inspiring and rewarding study...Tomes writes like a dream and with such elegance, her erudition worn so lightly and her 'insider knowledge' dispensed so generously, that even those with a minimal interest in the subject must want to share this journey with her."--Jeremy Nicholas, Gramophone "This is a hugely stimulating book that inspires and enlightens. The overall message is positive, highlighting the huge surge in the piano's popularity during the Covid pandemic. A fascinating and invaluable resource for music lovers, teachers and students."--Murray McLachlan, International Piano "A superb masterpiece, packed with detail, yet eloquently presenting important moments in the history (and pre-history) of piano music and how it has inspired us all - composers, musicians, and listeners - for more than 200 years."--John Gilhooly, Director of Wigmore Hall "Susan Tomes writes as elegantly and lucidly as she plays the piano. Here she offers the perfect guide to the world of musical riches that the instrument at its best can be. This is a treasurable book for committed pianophiles and newcomers alike."--Jessica Duchen, novelist and music writer "This is a delightful and valuable book. Susan Tomes presents a generous history of piano literature with wonderful lucidity, understanding and conviction. Love of the piano and its music shines through every page - professional musicians and music-loving enthusiasts alike will be captivated."--Steven Isserlis, cellist "Susan Tomes explains why this beloved instrument has been at the heart of our musical lives, on stage and at home, from its invention up to the present day. Her love for the instrument, and the music which its composer-lovers have written for it over centuries, is infectious and instructive. A book to keep near your piano."--Stephen Hough, pianist, "A superb masterpiece, packed with detail, yet eloquently presenting important moments in the history (and pre-history) of piano music and how it has inspired us all - composers, musicians, and listeners - for more than 200 years."--John Gilhooly, Director of Wigmore Hall "Susan Tomes writes as elegantly and lucidly as she plays the piano.
