From the Book of Knowledge 1923, Volume I.
We have all seen this Magic Kingdom, which is in nearly all our homes. We call in the Piano. Whenever I am there, I am so happy that it makes me want to show you the way, and help you to understand all the beautiful things which the Fairies whispered in the days of long ago.
The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies perhaps? Myself, I'm hung on pianos. Period. Both parents played, my dad professionally. Consequently, I've done a lot of research on the piano. You might find this site of interest: http://www.antiquepianoshop.com/
ReplyDeleteA wonderful ephemera archive available. Do you know how many different piano companies existed in this country at the turn of the century? I'd guess over a thousand.
