This is the first comprehensive study of Bartolomeo Cristofori, who is credited with having invented the pianoforte around the year 1700 while working in the Medici court in Florence. Through thorough analysis of documents preserved in the State Archive of Florence, Pollens has reconstructed, in unprecedented detail, Cristofori's working life.
