Ngaio Press, 2007. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 310 x 220 mm, 127 pages, many illustrations. Piano in the Parlour is a musical and social history that looks affectionately at a period when pianos were the most cherished domestic possessions in New Zealand and many other countries. Brought to life by contemporary real-life stories and graphics, Piano in the Parlour recreates a century of home musical culture between the 1820s and 1920s. This book also looks at the people who sold pianos, from early entrepreneurs including George West and Charles Russell, to the big firms: Charles Begg & Co., Dresden Piano Co. and the Eady companies in Auckland. Who played and sang? What did they play; where and how did they perform? Who looked after them: the music publishers at home and abroad, entrepreneurs and companies including Charles Begg & Co, the Dresden Piano Co and Auckland's Eady stores that serviced and sold pianos, and the old-time piano teachers. Included are the words and music (with chord symbols) for a wide selection of songs played and sung in New Zealand homes during the piano's heyday Review: There are some books that immediately endear themselves to you like a lost labrador. This is one. John MacGibbon takes a theme (the history of the piano, upright and otherwise, in the New Zealand home) and plays an absorbing set of literary variations which combine social history, music and unabashed nostalgia into a nicely packaged excursion through the domestic history of the piano. Written with a sense of time and place, it would take a hard unmusical heart to resist this book. There's even a selection of music from the Edwardian and Victorian parlour - including that peerless hymn to the benefits of temperance and the evils of alcohol, Come Home, Father. Christopher Moore - 'Book of the Week', The Press, Christchurch.
