DIETER HILDEBRANDT
Translated by Harriet Goodman
Introduction by Anthony Burgess

"The whole story of the piano has the qualities of a novel—thrilling, with mercurial characters, evoking both the erotic and the perilous. If the harpsichord is the Alexander Pope of music, the piano is its Lord Byron."

—Anthony Burgess, from the Introduction
