In printed sheet music, the staves of the piano is denoted by the abbreviations either Pno. or Pf.

On the other hand, the word 'piano', itself is an abbreviated word from the real name for the instrument pianoforte.

The word comes from Italian origin. The two words are; 'piano' which means soft, and 'forte' which means loud. Among the mechanic keyboard instruments, the pianoforte is known as the instrument which has the sustainability for a longer time and it is the such instrument which a player can be attained massive crescendos, decrescendos, sforzandos etc with ease in comparison to earlier keyboards such as the harpsichord and clavichord.
