Harps And Harpists

"This is the long-awaited, expanded edition of a classic text on the harp, written by a musician who is also an art historian, and beautifully illustrated with more than 160 photographs and drawings. The book surveys the progress of the harp from antiquity to the present day - from the simple bow-like early harp to the gleaming modern pedal harp, most recently equipped with the refinements of electronic sound."--BOOK JACKET.
