The invention of the modern piano is credited to Bartolomeo Cristofori of Padua, Italy, who was employed by Prince Ferdinand de Medici as the Keeper of the Instruments. He was an expert harpsichord maker and was well acquainted with the previous body of knowledge on stringed keyboard instruments. It is not known exactly when Cristofori first built a piano. An inventory made by his employers, the Medici family, indicates the existence of a piano by the year 1700; another document of doubtful authenticity indicates a date of 1698.[citation needed] The three Cristofori pianos that survive today date from the 1720s. --- Wikipedia.

What year did secular music start?

Secular music, as distinct from sacred music, has roots that can be traced back to ancient civilizations, but it began to flourish during the Renaissance period, particularly in the 14th to 16th centuries. The development of musical notation and the rise of humanism allowed for more expressive forms of music that focused on themes outside of religious contexts. However, even in earlier societies, folk songs and non-religious music existed, suggesting that secular music has always been a part of human culture.
