1 Jan 1790 Jahr - Piano

Beschreibung:

Instrumento muy difundido a partir del siglo XIX, tanto en la música de cámara como en la sinfónica, en a última habitualmente para solista.

Inventado por Bartolomeo Cristofori hacia 1700. Inicialmente se denominó "gravicémbalo col piano e forte". Sólo empezó a difundirse a finales de siglo. La evolución del fortepiano al pianoforte siguió hasta mediados del siglo XIX.

While the clavichord allows expressive control of volume and sustain, it is too quiet for large performances in big halls. The harpsichord produces a sufficiently loud sound, especially when a coupler joins each key to both manuals of a two-manual harpsichord, but it offers no dynamic or accent-based expressive control over each note. A harpsichord can't produce a variety of dynamic levels from the same keyboard during a musical passage (though a player can use a harpsichord with two manuals to alternate between two different stops [settings on the harpsichord that determine which set of strings sound], which could include a louder stop and a quieter stop). The piano offers the best of both instruments, combining the ability to play loudly and perform sharp accents. The piano can project more during piano concertos and play in larger venues, with dynamic control that permits a range of dynamics, including soft, quiet playing.
