The piano is something that has been played by many people for a long time. Do you know how to play the piano?
Yes I do, I like playing the piano as it is unique in that it has a keyboard rather than strings or wind.
I have never even tried. I have seen others play, though.
I find it interesting that the piano was called a pianoforte, considering that the word 'forte' means loud in Italian, but 'piano' means soft
Well that is quite the difference. The piano is definitely a soft sound. Relaxing to listen to people play, I think, anyway.
Yes, definitely. Although the first pianos had a much quieter sound than the ones that are widely available now.
