Piano

Why did you choose this topic?

    I chose the piano because it’s an instrument I like to play. Another reason why I chose it was because the piano means something me. The piano is a way for me to relax and express myself because I create and try new music. Lastly would be it’s one of a kind because there aren’t many people who play the piano right now.  

Describe the topic in detail:

    The piano began in Padua Italy in 1709 in the shop of a harpsichord maker named Bartolomeo di Francesco Cristofori. It’s an acoustic stringed musical instrument. The word piano is a shortened form of pianoforte, the Italian term for the early versions of this instrument. This means soft and loud. You can play it by using a keyboard which is a row of keys that you press down with the fingers or thumbs of both hands to cause the hammer to strike the strings. The piano is one of the most popular instruments and it also makes a beautiful piece of furniture that looks great at home. There are also different types of piano for example digital piano, hybrid piano, grand piano etc. The piano has around 220-230 strings that are made from steel and strung extremely tight in order to produce a sound.
