Yes, "piano" is a musical term that instructs the performer to play softly. It is derived from the Italian word "pianoforte," which means "soft-loud." The piano is a versatile keyboard instrument capable of producing a wide range of dynamics, from very soft (piano) to very loud (forte), depending on the musician's touch and the force applied to the keys.
