@TheGreatB00ks Either "Silver Blaze" or "The Blue Carbuncle" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Both are an excellent display of Sherlock Holmes's skills & personality. "The Blue Carbuncle" also has the benefit of being a good, light-hearted Christmas story.

@TheGreatB00ks I was inspired to reread these for the first time since high school & bought the Fagles version so I can follow along on your podcast. Can't wait. 🙂

@AlexAndBooks_ I experienced this while reading "Paradise Lost". It was so good, I had to lie down.

@robbertleusink I did not know the Medici connection and am also not surprised.

The piano was invented by a craftsman nobody remembers:
Bartolomeo Cristofori was born in Padua on May 4th 1655 and spent his career maintaining instruments for the Medici court in Florence
Around 1700 he built something new: a keyboard instrument that responded to touch, playing soft or loud depending on how hard you pressed the key
He called it the 'gravicembalo col piano e forte'
The Medici gave one away to a cardinal in Rome and sold two more in Florence
The initial reception was poor: musicians found the sound too soft compared to the harpsichord
Cristofori died in 1731 having sold a handful of instruments to royalty
Within thirty years his invention had replaced every other keyboard instrument in Western music
His name appears on three surviving pianos in New York, Rome, and Leipzig
Almost nobody knows him
