| The piano is a key board
with keys who strike strings inside the piano every time you press down on the
keys. Similar instruments include the Harpsichord and clavichord. It
is the only instrument beside the drum, and string instruments like the
violin that you can control how loud or soft the instrument plays with
your hands. The earliest piano known to be actually made was in 1709. It
was first called the Gravicembalo Col Piano e Forte in Italian meaning a Harpsichord
with soft and loud. It was invented by a Harpsichord inventor by the name
of Bartolomeo Cristofori in Italy. Two pianos that he made still exist,
one made in 1720 that is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York
City. The other one that was made in 1726 is in a museum in Leipzig,
Germany. The Piano is very fun to play and I recommend that who ever reads
this that they should try to play it some time when you get the
chance. |
