The History of The Piano
Cristofori’s piano
In 1698, the Italian harpsichord maker Bartolomeo Cristofori began to develop a new keyboard instrument. His goal was to produce an instrument to produce sounds powerful desire or sweet (unlike the harpsichord, which could not change the volume). In 1709, the invention was finally over. Cristofori called it simply gravicembalo col piano e forte, harpsichord with soft shades and strong.
We changed the name to “pianoforte”, since shortened to “piano”. Cristofori encountered many problems in the development of his instrument. For example, how to prevent the hammer to bounce after hitting the rope and hit a second time? He found the solution. A mechanism we now call the “escape”. In 1732, the composer Lodovico Giustini published twelve sonatas for piano. The earliest compositions written for this instrument. On the score, he pointed out the passages that should be played “piano” or “forte”.
The Piano Silbermann
The news of Cristofori’s invention spread abroad, and instrument makers began manufacturing pianos. In Dresden, Germany, the organ builder Gottfried Silbermann introduced to Bach’s latest model piano, but the composer was not impressed. The high notes were weak, he remarked, and the keys too heavy, making carrying exhausting! Silbermann took these criticisms seriously and changed his piano. This time it was right to praise when he try another instrument in the great composer.

Warm Up Well
2. Warm-ups for exercise-to -music need to cover three parts: joint mobilization, pulse raiser and stretching. Joint mobilization gets all major joints moving and ready for impact and use. Make sure to cover the knees, pelvis, elbows, shoulders, wrists, ankles and spine in your plans.
A pulse-raiser is any exercise that gets the heart pumping faster. Most instructors use aerobic exercises to accomplish this without raising of the arms above the head or impact. Stretch out your students some immediately after the pulse-raising exercise.
Aerobic Activity
3. Next, plan for an aerobic part of the class. This should be no more than 20 minutes for a 60-minute class. Have the students check their pulse after about five minutes of aerobics.
Instruct the students to raise their arms higher or make larger movements if the pulse is not yet reaching aerobic levels. Tell them to tone down their movements if the heart rate is above an aerobic range.
