钢琴作为一件乐器已有三百多年历史了。在18世纪初的时候,人们称它为pianoforte。这是因为,与当时的键盘乐器翼琴和大键琴相比,它有明显的不同,即:它在演奏表现上能发出弱音(piano),也能发出强音(forte)。但是,在其发展过程中,尽管人们一直在努力使其音量不断增大、强调有力的强奏表现。可是,在称谓上其forte却去掉了,只留下了piano。这似乎很讽刺! Piano as a musical instrument has been more than 300 years of history. In the early 18th century, people called it pianoforte. This is because there is a clear difference compared with the keyboard instrument harpsichord and harpsichord at that time: it can give a piano as well as a forte in performance performance. However, in the course of its development, people are constantly striving to keep their volume increasing, emphasizing strong performance. However, in the title of its forte is removed, leaving only the piano. This seems ironic!
