Best Answer

The Clarinet was introduced to the orchestra in the Classical period, popularised by Mozart, who took a strong liking to the new instrument. There were, however, earlier versions (chalumeaux) which were not as popular or loud.

The piano has never (or rarely) been part of the orchestra, although it has appeared as a solo instrument with the orchestra from around the middle of the eighteenth century onwards.

There are works in which the piano is part of the percussion section. A notable example is Stravinsky's Ballet Petroushka. When this is the case, the piano is placed behind the strings on the left, next to the standard percussion. This trend started in the early 20th century.
