Performing Arts and Music blog

Piano Day takes place annually on the 88^th day of the year because of the number of keys on the instrument being celebrated, and is a worldwide event founded by a group of like-minded people. 

To celebrate Piano Day this year we are highlighting a selection of the books and music we have about the piano in our library collection.

• Beethoven and the piano: Philology, context and performance practice
