Bartolomeo Cristofori

 

Composers and performance uses 

Many of our most famous composers would not have composed the pieces we love if not for the invention of the instrument for them to beplayed on. Composers like Beethoven, Bach, Hayden, and even more modern composers like David lanz, William Joseph, Jon Schmit, George Winston, Billy Joel, or Elton John Probably never would have created there wonderful music if not for the pianos invention.We also wouldn't have pieces like Cristofori's Dream, Music box dancer, St. Elmo's fire, Memory, Nocturne, Rhapsody in Blue, The Phantom of the Opera simply because most composers start with piano to pick out  the piece because it can play both the melody and harmoney parts at the same time. Choirs use the piano emensly as accompaniment intrament and to help pick out the harmony parts. It is also used to help tune other instraments because it stays in tune longer than most and it's easy to pick out one note at a time.
