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

[@SenjiaMurtic]

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!

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 🥰

[@magnusemeritus]

@@llacrymossa Yeah, Schubert and Mozart too. Their amazing lives were too short.

[@JLRpartners]

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

[@СаняБабенко-я4н]

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

[@classyclassical]

[@magnusemeritus]

Thank you for this. Lovely video.

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! ☺️

Is the piano not just a harp converted to plucking instrument into a percussion activated instrument are the strings pitch and arrangement the same as the harp from end to end ? I'm a guitarist and I've always wondered ??

[@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.

[@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 🎶

[@GregoryWhite-g8x]

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

[@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

[@nkcjulie]

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

[@classyclassical]

zinginstruments.com/how-many-octaves-on-a-piano/ Here it is explained..

[@nkcjulie]

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

[@magnusemeritus]

@@nkcjulie No it doesn't. There are some additional keys that do not make up an entire octave. A,B flat and B at the bottom. And C at the top. 12×7=84. Add those four keys and you are at 88!!!

[@slapmyfunkybass]

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

[@allisonbruneau1463]

Agree.. how could Beethoven have written music using it if it was invented in 1924... lol
