Description: In the catalog, various topics are covered: the history of the piano, harp, psaltery, and plucked instruments. Sixty instruments from the musical instrument collection of Fernanda Giulini are cataloged. The entries are preceded by introductions to the history of the instruments, understood as their birth and development, from their origins to the present day. The catalog is complemented by essays on art and musicology, as well as two CDs that combine the pleasure of music with that of art in the decoration of the instruments. As you flip through the pages of the book and listen to the recorded music with instruments ranging from the oldest to contemporary ones, the sensation of the sound preserved over time comes alive.
