In the late 17th century, Italian musician and inventor Bartolomeo Cristofori developed a new musical instrumenthis cembalo che fa il piano e forte, which allowed keyboard players flexible dynamic gradation. This innovation, which came to be known as the hammerharpsichord or fortepiano grand, was slow to catch on in musical circles. However, as renowned piano historian Eva BaduraSkoda demonstrates, the instrument inspired new keyboard techniques and performance practices and was eagerly adopted by virtuosos of the age, including Scarlatti, J. S. Bach, Clementi, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Presenting a rich array of archival evidence, BaduraSkoda traces the construction and use of the fortepiano grand across the musical cultures of 18thcentury Europe, providing a valuable resource for music historians, organologists, and performers.
