DescriptionEver wondered where the Metronome came from? Take a minute to get the scoop!Fun FactMass manufacturing of clockwork metronomes made the devices increasingly cost effective and accessible, so that the periodical Music declared in 1897 that “A METRONOME SHOULD BE ON EVERY PIANO.” This push for the metronome stood in stark contrast to many composers’ attitude and aesthetic, with Brahms saying, “good friends have talked me into putting [metronome marks] there, for I myself have never believed that my blood and a mechanical instrument go well together.”__________________________________________________________________About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.
