The History of the PIANO!

[@classyclassical]

Did you know all these facts about the piano? Let us know what you`ve learnt from this video!

[@lauripotter3247]

Thank you for creating this video. I will use it in my classroom - I wish the pronunciations had been more accurate

Actually achieving 8 octaves was an engineering marvel because of the incredible tension.

[@llacrymossa]

Chopin certainly did provide so much for the future generations to experience and learn so many composition techniques and music, I just wonder what'd happen if composers like him would've lived 30 years longer.

[@classyclassical]

For sure we would have more amazing music 🥰

"though they had a significant limitations..." When I hear stuff like this I lose confidence in anything else the video is telling me.

[@magnusemeritus]

Mentions Christofori, shows picture of Bach 😂

I am relearning and wish to be an active student of knowledge, I hope to learn how to play an instrument next year! 🎼

[@classyclassical]

We wish you good luck with learning!

Really don’t think the sustain pedal was 1924, invented around 1770 I believe.

[@СаняБабенко-я4н]

Thank you for the video! learned a lot of information for myself

[@classyclassical]

Thank you for your comment 🙂

[@martinfinnmusic]

Thank you for this. Lovely video.

[@martinfinnmusic]

Just got to the sustain pedal part - it was added far far before 1924! How else would Moonlight Sonata and thousands of other pieces have been played?

[@classyclassical]

Thank you for the comment! ☺️

[@knittysong]

This is so informative and interesting. Is there a version geared to kids?

[@classyclassical]

Thank you sooo much!!! 🥰 No, but I am considering something like this for the future :))

[@lauripotter3247]

I am planning to use this in my 7th grade classroom. I have created a study guide to go along with the video.

Great Informations! Txs a lot! 🎹🎵🎶🎵🎶

[@classyclassical]

Thank yoooou 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@helmut.schmid2874]

Bach's "Wohltemperiertes Klavier" should be mentioned and explained, also "Hammerklavier", Beethoven's sonata.

[@classyclassical]

For sure there are many more things we can talk about 🎶

[@peteszkolka924]

Sustain pedal invented in 1924?

[@carolstein]

The sostenuto pedal was originally invented by Boisselot of Marseille in 1844.

[@classyclassical]

Thank you for this contribution!

[@slapmyfunkybass]

Invented around 1770 I believe

Question: 88 keys and 7 octaves? That math seems a little off.

[@classyclassical]

[@nkcjulie]

Thank you. I hadn't thought that through!@@classyclassical
