A vivid look at the music business from the 1850s to the mid-20th century.
This volume gathers profiles of instrument makers, major music houses, publishers, and journals, plus a detailed list of rare instruments documented by a WPA project.
You’ll explore how printers, engravers, and publishers shaped the way music was created, printed, and shared. The book also traces shifts in the industry as technology and culture changed the pace and reach of musical life.
- Profiles of instrument makers and leading music houses from the era
- Inside looks at music publishers and the technology behind print and sheet music
- Historical context on musical journals and the flow of musical news
- A compiled catalog of rare instruments and their origins
