  • Games, Ghosts, and Glamour
    Games, Ghosts, and Glamour: The Player Piano in Domestic America, 1890-1930 Devanney Haruta An honors thesis for the Brown University Music Department November 29, 2016 Primary Reader: Dana Gooley Secondary Readers: Anne Searcy, Joshua Tucker 1 PRELUDE Keyboards are all around us, on our cell phones and laptops, mediating our writing, our correspondence, our digital expression, and accompanying our communication with audible punctuations of sound. Alphanumeric keys read digital input and produce sound in digital and mechanical output. The player piano, a mechanical musical instrument from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, utilized a similar keyboard interface. With its humming pneumatics and predetermined sequence of musical pitches, the instrument can teach us about our modern interactions with technologies that produce sound both within and outside of our immediate control. How we interact with both modern digital and historic instrument technologies reveals the importance of physical objects in our lives, and can even teach us about our modes of interaction as well as about ourselves as humans. The player piano is an instrument that became commercially widespread across the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The instrument walks a hazy boundary between interactive musical interface and independently controlled music player, simultaneously reinforcing and challenging the piano’s established identity in the American domestic space. The player piano is an intriguing historical object, but what is its relevance to contemporary musicology? Understanding the player piano’s identity as a musical interface, a body of control, and a cultural symbol sheds light on modern musicology, organology, and technology studies.
