For more than 40 years, I’ve been traveling the world—both in person and online—in search of extraordinary pianos from the Golden Age of piano making. Yet even more fascinating than the instruments themselves are the people and their stories, in which the piano has often played a remarkable role. This book brings together 12 of these stories—all inspired by true events yet written as fiction—along with 88 practical answers to intriguing questions about the piano. Spanning more than 500 pages, it is now available in both German and English.
