GRAND PIANOFORTE
A fortepiano  is an early piano. In principle, the word
“fortepiano” can designate any piano dating from the
invention of the instrument by Bartolomeo Cristofori
around 1700 up to the early 19th century. Most typically,
however, it is used to refer to the late-18th to early-19th
century instruments for which Haydn, Mozart, and the
younger Beethoven wrote their piano music. Starting in
Beethoven’s time, the fortepiano began a period of steady
evolution, culminating in the late 19th century with the
modern grand. The earlier fortepiano became obsolete and
was absent from the musical scene for many decades. In
the 20th century the fortepiano was revived, following th
e rise of interest in historically informed performance.
Fortepianos are built for this purpose today in specialist
workshops.
