Which books would you recommend to get me closer to music and then to the piano? Premising that I have 0 musical knowledge, for example a music theory book that teaches me how to read music, tempo, etc. To then move on to the instrument I would like to study, which is the piano, and therefore also a book on said instrument. Initially, I would start studying as a self-taught person and then perhaps take lessons in the future (money permitting). And finally, I wanted advice on which instrument to purchase (hoping this isn't the wrong section for this question) that costs a maximum of about 100 euros, so a digital piano, also because I wouldn't want to risk the thing fading away and the 600 euro piano starting to gather dust. The only thing is that I would like it to be as close as possible to piano keys to the touch. Thank you very much.

For the theory of Howard Shanet

How to learn to read music

IN TWO HOURS

You will learn the fundamental principles for reading musical notes

IN TWO EVENINGS

You will learn to read every melody and play it on the piano

Obviously it's a joke, even if the text exists. I don't know it.

For an interesting overview of the topics "The Grammar of Music" by Ottò Kàrolyi (the "a" should have the accent reversed, but I couldn't find it) from Einaudi

Clearly it is a mega synthesis, it touches on various topics that will then deserve further study... but at least you will get ideas for reflection, terminology, and a possible basis for asking targeted questions and looking for specific texts.
