In 1700, Bartolomeo Cristofori, a simple harpsichord maker, invented
what would become one of the most famous instruments, the piano. A
true musical revolution, it was originally just a system of small hammers
on a keyboard hitting strings, which Bartolomeo called "gravecemblalo
col piano e forte". In 2021, the melodies of the direct descendant of this
beautiful discovery still resound and accompany our favourite pieces.
