I bought this book believing it to be BOTH a history of Pianoforte Playing and Pianoforte Literature. The actual title of the book (I have it right in front of me) is: The History of Pianoforte Music. Quite a different thing than I expected.

All that said, it turned out to be a very interesting book. Of course it mentioned nothing about the history of pianoforte playing - which is actually why I bought the book.

I have encountered MANY title errors on Amazon.com. I wish they would be more careful about their listings. Much of the time I am buying books I have never heard of before and I must rely on the title and (if you are lucky enough to get one) the description of the book. I have had to return many books - and, as you know, it is a pain.
