Modern pianos come in two basic design and several sizes: the grand piano and the upright piano. Grand pianos have the frame and strings placed going side ways, with the strings extending away from the keyboard. This avoids the problems caused in an upright piano, but takes up a lot of room and needs high ceilings for the right kind of sound. & Upright pianos, also called vertical pianos, are smaller because the frame and strings are placed so that they go up and down, extending in either direction from the keyboard and hammers. Hope This Helps.
He wrote five for the piano, one for the violin, and a triple one for violin, cello and piano.

A piano usually isn't one of the instruments included in the typical layout of a symphony orchestra. However, if a piano is used say, as a solo instrument (e.g. for a piano concerto), an upright grand would be the usual choice.
Beethoven initially wrote in the Classical period, but provided the transition to the Romantic period. The genres of music Beethoven composed were mainly piano sonatas, piano concertos and symphonies, along with other ensemble instrumental music such as trios and quartets, songs (lieder) and one opera.
Beethoven composed only the one opera, probably because he lacked great talent in that area of music. He could not live up to the high standards that Mozart had set him only a few years before. His opera was first named 'Leonore' in 1804 and features a heroine who is trying to rescue her condemned lover from prisoner. The opera failed its first performance on the 20th of November, 1805. Beethoven edited it and the new version was performed on the 29th of March, 1806. It was withdrawn again, but this time by Beethoven himself due to a misunderstanding about payments and receipts with the theatre manager. Years later in 1814 Beethoven revived 'Leonore' once again except this time with a new libretto and new overture. He renamed it 'Fidelio' and it was performed on the 26th of November in front of congressmen. Finally it was a success and nowadays it is a very popular opera, having gone through many variations. It had had four different overtures!
