Best Answer

The piano is one of themost complicated instruments to learn. It takes years and years to learn (unless you are a prodigy!) and be able to play masterfully. Hours of practice and study in composers, songs, theory, technic, etc. Anyone who takes the time to learn and master this instrument has to be a very devoted and patient person.

Technically, it isn't any more special than any other instrument in the orchestra. It's one of the many instruments listed for a standard orchestral setup, but is not used in every classical piece of literature.

Which instrument is sometimes used by a symphony orchestra to set the pitch for the other instruments in the orchestra?

Orchestras are usually tuned to an oboe. The open note, (that is, the note an oboe plays without any fingering), is an A, and the orchestra tunes best to that note. When a piano is featured as solo instrument, the orchestra tunes to the A of the piano, because it's easier for them to adjust their pitch than for the piano.
