Pianist Kit Armstrong presents a personal history of keyboard music, interspersing performances of key works across five centuries with his account of the key cultural, technical and philosophical developments that they reflect. Part concert, part lecture, the result is a fascinating panoramic overview of music written for the piano – and its keyboard predecessors – across the modern age.
