The Historical Development of Piano Music
The roots of the piano date back to the 18th century, when the instrument was developed by Italian manufacturer Bartolomeo Cristofori. The ability to play both softly and loudly (hence the name "pianoforte") opened up new possibilities for musical expression.
During the Baroque and Classical periods, the piano flourished, with composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven creating masterpieces for the instrument.
