Can anyone give me a good resource to study with for the novel Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut?

I’d really appreciate it, because i need help with clarifying some of the themes of the novel.

The library would be a good place to start. (Does anyone use the library anymore?) A good library will have dozens of books in the criticism section on Vonnegut. Also, type “Kurt Vonnegut criticism” into any search engine and you’ll come up with dozens of good responses–start with this one:

The Saga of Player Pianos

 

The late 19th century witnessed the rise of the most important musical instrument of the time- the piano. The popularity of American music further boosted the demand for pianos, with more and more people desiring these instruments within the bounds of their homes.

 

Few entertainment channels available during the time accounted for the increased percentage of people who were proficient in piano playing. However, many people lacked the natural talent required of a composer and hence, simple arrangements were published ignoring the tough ones.

 

The phonograph was still in its infancy and people longed to listen to the performances of songwriters and professionals. The time was ideal for the origin of a new idea. The idea came in the garb of a player piano, aimed to change home music reproduction in a unique and profound way.

 

Self-playing piano of the 1890s was only a cabinet that needed to be pushed up to the keyboard of a standard piano. Named the piano player, this item consisted of a row of felt covered “fingers” that would depress the appropriate key as a perforated roll ran across a tracker bar. When a perforation uncovered a port in the tracker bar, suction would cause the “finger” to be actuated. This machine was originally nomenclated as the “pianola.

The turn of the 20th century saw the “pianola” as an integrated part of the piano. Though the consequence was a heavier piano, it got rid off cumbersome “pianola” cabinet. During that time, the player piano gradually soared in popularity charts and reached its peak in the 1920’s.

 

Player pianos took a great stride ahead with reproducing pianos. These pianos reproduced the performing nuances of a given performer, thus lending an artistic finesse to the performance. It seemed as if one had a real performer in the house! Since then, the saga of player pianos continues…
