Sebastien Erard (1752-1831) by Charles Achille D'Hardiviller is a biographical work that chronicles the life and achievements of the renowned French instrument maker Sébastien Érard.

It details his relentless pursuit of mechanical improvements, which led to the creation of the double escapement action for pianos, allowing for rapid repetition of notes, and the double-action pedal harp, which expanded the instrument's range and versatility.

The book also explores Érard's business acumen and his interactions with prominent musicians and composers of his time, who often sought his instruments for their superior quality and responsiveness. His contributions to the music world earned him recognition and honors, including being appointed as the official piano maker to Napoleon Bonaparte.
