| Abstract | In 1701, Bartolomeo Christofori, a musician employed by the Medicis, invented the first piano by modifying a harpsichord. This program discusses how this popular instrument has changed over the years (except for hammers), and how its flexibility and expressiveness have inspired composers such as Beethoven, Schumann, Liszt and Bartók. |
