Notes and Editorial Reviews
In the days before radio and recorded music, to have music in your home meant making the music yourself. The parlour piano became the gathering place for social occasions. Solos, duets, arrangements of the day's most popular melodies -- this was the era not only for the printed music publisher, but for those that arranged or composed music meant to be performed by people of varying musical abilities.
