Keyboard Instruments in the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Emanuel Winternitz is a comprehensive guide to the collection of keyboard instruments housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Each instrument is described in detail, with information on its history, construction, and musical capabilities. The book also includes photographs of each instrument, as well as detailed diagrams and technical drawings. In addition, the author provides a fascinating overview of the evolution of keyboard instruments over the centuries, tracing their development from simple plucked strings to the complex mechanisms of the modern piano. This book is an essential reference for anyone interested in the history and technology of keyboard instruments, as well as for musicians and scholars studying the music of different periods and styles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
