The "sophisticatedly" simple pianoforte designed and constructed in 1766 by Johannes Zumpe (1726-1790) was the true driving force behind the piano's social, commercial, and creative route forward. So, here we spotlight a constructor and an instrument that are both of cardinal importance in piano history. The Barcelona Music Museum holds a key example of the Zumpe piano, one dating from 1776, just 10 years after the start of that pathway. Thanks to a lengthy process of research, study, and restoration backed by the Museum and carried out by organologist Kerstin Schwarz, this instrument has regained its original beauty and expression, opening a new window on an era that laid the foundations of modern culture and society. This book places the instrument in its social context and describes the restoration process through articles by specialists such as Michael Cole, Pablo Gómez Ábalos, and Kerstin Schwarz.
