It is said that the day I was born my dad saw my long fingers and told my mom, “I think we’ve got a piano player on our hands.” When I was four years old, my dad’s words came true. The piano is one of the most popular instruments in music. The word piano comes from the Italian word pianoforte which means soft and loud. It evolved from the clavichord and the harpsichord. The clavichord is a keyboard instrument with a soft sound produced by small brass wedges striking horizontal strings. It is a combination of the Latin words clavis meaning key and chorda meaning string.# The harpsichord is an instrument that looks much like a grand piano, but its strings are plucked instead of hit by a hammer. The word harpsichord comes from the Latin words harpa meaning harp and chorda meaning keys.# It is not certain when the first piano, harpsichord, grand, pianos, octaves, first, clavichord, strings, meaning, keys, keyboard, soft, played, construction, bach, baby, attached, words, word, upright, started, standard, soundboard, playing, plate, octave, iron, famous, developed, day, concert, comes, built, because, works, volume, very, three, size, six, shorter, seven, rim, ranges, public, produced, popular, pianoforte Word Count: 932 Acceptance_Essays American_History Anatomy_&_Physiology Animal_Science_&_Zoology Anthropology Architecture Art Astronomy Aviation Biographies Book_Reports Business Computers Creative_Writing Current_Events Economics Education Engineering English Environmental_Science Ethics European_History Film_&_TV Foreign_Languages Geography Government_&_Politics Health_&_Beauty History_Other Human_Sexuality Legal_Issues Marketing Mathematics Medicine Miscellaneous Music Mythology Philosophy Physics Poetry Political_Science Psychology Religion Science Shakespeare Social_Issues Sociology Speech Sports_&_Recreation Supernatural Technology Theater Theses_&_Dissertations
