This book is a detailed study of the history of the piano in Russian society from its beginnings with the European entrepreneurs who settled in St. Petersburg in 1810, through Russian-owned family firms. Its themes range from the role of women as patrons and performers, to the economic transformation that benefited Russian piano manufacturers.
