The research project outlines the culture of piano playing, its history, conventions and its musical heritage.
Introduction
Annikka Konttori-Gustafsson is researching the history of playing the piano in Finland based on a research project Pianonsoiton historia Suomessa by Margit Rahkonen. This project outlines the culture of piano playing, its history, conventions and its musical heritage, by looking into the interaction between national and international music cultures through different eras, as the source.
