La construcción de pianos en Barcelona 1780-1808: los primeros constructores de pianos
Abstract
The introduction of the piano commenced in the city of Barcelona between 1780 and 1808. During this period, there was an increase in music activity and trade in the city, which (due to the appropriate conditions and numerous social, political and cultural factors) entailed a growth in music sales, driven by an emergent class of aficionados who used music as a means of social relations.
This state of affairs led to the organisation of the first local piano-construction workshops and the standardisa - tion of the study and enjoyment of the piano, both in public and private spheres.
