Music Quote poster
“Music is the universal
language of mankind.”

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The piano is a musical instrument with keys that when depressed cause felt hammers to strike steele wire strings, producing sounds. The piano, considered a keyboard, percussion, and string instrument was developed from the harpsichord which plucked the strings rather than stiking them. One man, Bartolomeo Cristofori, a harpsichord builder in the employ of the Medici family, seems to be responsible for the key development of the piano, a mechanism to release the hammer from the string, allow the string to continue vibrating. The word ‘piano’ is from the Italian pianoforte which means soft and loud, referring the the ability to strike both softly and with force.

Many composers are accomplished pianists due the suitability of the instrument for composition. Among notable virituosos of the piano are Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Haydn, Liszt, Mozart, Paderewski, Schumann and Van Cliburn; composer Johann Sebastian Bach wrote for the organ and humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer is also notable as a Bach intrepreter.
