Biography
Clement Claus is mentioned in passing as one of the first piano-makers known in the United States, noted here only as a native of Hamburg, Germany, a city the author observes has furnished New York with many worthy citizens over the preceding century. The text refers readers to an earlier chapter (Chapter V) for fuller treatment of Claus, so no further biographical detail is given in this passage beyond his place of origin and his early standing among American piano-makers.
