∙ 12y agoThe piano was invented about 1700, and remain pretty much of a curiosity until an article written in 1711 by an Italian, Scipione Maffei, which spoke in glowing terms about the instrument generated more interest in it. By the 1730's, several manufacturers were in business to build pianos. The instrument was complete in most aspects as we know it today by 1790. though it was much lighter in build than modern pianos - and much lighter in tone and volume, as well.
The improvements between about 1790 and 1860 bring us to a piano indistinguishable in sound from modern instruments. The first well-known composers to use the piano extensively were Haydn and Mozart, especially the latter.
