This is a great book (currently only in French) about the Érard family, so important for piano making. Organologist, researcher and performer Alain Roudier played an important role in the revival of historically informed performance practice. Alongside his career as a chamber musician and soloist, he devoted himself to restoring numerous keyboard instruments from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
In addition to an extensive discography, he is the author and co-author of numerous works on instrument making, especially on the Érard family. Les Trois Érard represents the quintessence of his research on this important family of instrument makers.
