Abstract: | The toy piano as a musical instrument in its own right, beyond its originally intended use as a child’s toy, has increased in popularity over the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century. Toy pianos (and toy pianists?) are frequently featured in ‘art-music’ recitals and in contemporary music ensembles, and also have a heritage within popular music. Current groups who have featured toy pianos include Radiohead, Sigur Rós and Vampire Weekend. For me, the toy piano is inextricably associated with the character of Schroeder, in the Peanuts cartoon strip. |
