Book excerpt: Virginia Lloyd spent much of her childhood and adolescence learning and playing the piano and thought she would make a career as a pianist. When that didn't happen, she spent a long time wondering about those years of study: had they been wasted? What was their purpose? This intriguing memoir explores those questions and investigates the mystery of the author's very musical and deeply unhappy grandmother Alice, and how their lives--both at and away from the piano--intersected and diverged. Girls at the Piano also explores the changing relationship between women and the piano over the course of the instrument's history, taking us from the salons of 18th-century Europe to an amateur jazz workshop in Manhattan in the early 21st century. Funny, tender and fascinating, Girls at the Piano is an elegant and multi-layered meditation on identity, ambition and doubt, and on how learning the piano had a profound effect on two women worlds and generations apart. It is essential reading for music lovers everywhere, and for anyone who has undertaken their own voyage around a piano.

Book excerpt: The first issue related to science that one encounters in daily life might be a musical instrument. Many children began to learn the piano or the violin from kindergarten age; they can hence proceed to perform recitals in high school. One who plays a violin must inevitably tune this instrument daily. If a string breaks, it must be replaced. Sometimes a bridge must be made and the sound post adjusted. Pianists, however, have access only to the keyboard. Tuning? That is a matter for a professional. They hence have little idea about what pianos are. School teachers never teach that. High-school science exhibitions seldom involve topics in this area. Even though these studies are not in the mainstream of modern science, the physics involved is not simple at all: it is closely related to research in other fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pianist in lounges and lobbies around the world, Robin Meloy Goldsby tells her warm-hearted stories by linking people she has met with places she has played. Along the way, she connects the humanity of her audiences—princes and paupers, dreamers and doers, moguls, mobsters, wanna-bes, and has-beens—with the quiet soundtrack of her peripatetic, melodic life. Goldsby's autobiographical stories and essays deliver insights into the art and craft of piano playing, the merits of live music, and how the right song at the right moment can add color and depth to a drab, one dimensional world. Music, it turns out, connects us in unpredictable ways.

Book excerpt: This book examines the intersection of music and temporality in British literature of the long nineteenth century, arguing the temporal multiplicity of music as the most dynamic way to subvert mimetic bias. Temporally vexed sound spaces rupture the narrative, transgressing the hegemonic structures to which it is subject.
