The piano is a percussion, key and string instrument from the zither family that is played with a single keyboard and 2 or 3 pedals. The piano has large white keys and small black keys. At the forerunners of the piano (harpsichord) these colors were reversed. The modern piano has evolved from the fortepiano, the instrument on which, for example, Mozart has composed all his piano music.
Pianoforte literally means soft (and) strong in Italian. Because the force [1] with which a hammer of the playing mechanism plays the strings depends on the manner of playing a key, [2] each tone can be played both loud and soft (and the nuances between). This was missing from the forerunners of the piano, including for example the harpsichord. Later the name was further shortened to piano; nowadays the term pianoforte has the meaning of "authentic instrument" of the baroque and classical period. Sometimes you also see the term fortepiano, when you mean the forerunner of the modern piano.
In Italian, the common term is still pianoforte, the grand piano is called pianoforte a coda, literally piano with tail. Russian speaks inversely of fortepiano as a general name for the modern piano (pjanino) or grand piano (royal ').
