I've been really interested in reference books on reading lately. So, I went a little happy at the #StAgnesBookSale. I saw this one, with its simple perfect cover. • Have you read any critical reading reference books that impacted you? • • • #reading #englishreference #reference #book #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booksale #library #librarysale #criticalreading #books #booknerdigans #booknerd #weekend #photosofbooks #sundayfunday #petermendelsund #whatweseewhenweread (at New York, New York)

Luring music lovers to Parisian salons to hear Chopin's plaintive improvisations, and to Viennese concert halls for Beethoven's ferocious, string-snapping outbursts. The piano captured the spotlight at Harlem "rent parties," where two-fisted ivory "ticklers" worked furiously to outshine each other, and consoled lonely miners in the California Gold Rush as roving European virtuoso Henri Herz performed his variations on "Oh Susannah" [sic] for them. It comforted thousands of Siberian peasants who never had heard a note of classical piano music until Russian master Sviatoslav Richter brought it to their doorsteps. It is still capable of wowing crowds in concert halls, clubs, and stadiums the world over. 'A Natural History of the Piano' by Stuart Isacoff.
