Composer in baroque age
Posted by 9b | Filed under Piano (2)
As for the baroque, it usually spread from the 16th end of the century to the 17th beginning of the century, and the art of Europe and the whole of an art cultural style are indicated.
You may say the culture that builds the base of present age Europe.
It is at the 17th beginning of the century the birth, and has spread deliberately spending time there for 110 years or more though the baroque music is a part in this.
It seems to have taken while considerably for the culture of latest music to spread because the age that was not the information society like present.
It was a piano that becoming the center of music in such a baroque age.
It will be able to be said even the age when what should be of music began to change by the birth of the piano.
As for a great musician who was born in the baroque age, it is Bach.
It is born in 1685 as ..Johann [zebasutei;an] Bach.. the German, and it is great musician who ..row.. is called “Germany 3 large B” with [be-to-ven] and Brahms and it is person who became it.
It is said that only the Bach is a musician who spreads the piano.
Bach’s piano concerto and piano sonata became chances of the spread, and the spread had advanced at a dash afterwards in this age though the piano was still born and it had not arrived at the spread.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Bach who was already a great musician touched the piano, and the modern music might have started.
It is said that “Equal temperament [kuravi-a] [kyokuatsuma]” that he had written became the foothold to a piano spread, and is a reason called this is a piano Old Testament.

Cristofori’s invention and piano
Posted by 9b | Filed under Piano
There was musical instrument producer of the name called [barutomeo] Cristofori who was the Italian in 1709.
He put two merits of the clavichord and the cembalo together with the [ugen] mechanism new musical instruments with the [ugen] mechanism were invented and the epoch-making invention was accomplished at that time by possession.
By the way, two merits are the loudness of the place where strength of the sound of the clavichord can be put out and the cembalo.
It is called, ‘Piano [e] forte [kuravi] cembalo’ and is said to this invention that the [kuravi] cembalo to which strength can be put out is abbreviated in a word and how called a present piano to call was born.
However, the composer who used the piano seems not to remain in the history because it was still a heyday of the cembalo at that time.
It is thought that it is because without the performance level of the satisfaction of a piano at that time to the composer’s demand as a cause.
Piano what the part of the hammer characterized, and pasted the skin to the surface where not the felt but the parchment had been piled up to the layer first he had invented.
The transmission rate of the action was 1:8 while a present piano was 1:6.
It is enumerated that it was 6mm though is 10mm the struggle of the keyboard now as well as the cembalo.
Other Cristofori invented the escapement and the damper in 1726.
“Kuchler-Silberman” who is Cristofori’s apprentice improves them, and the one that is called hammer Fluegel is produced.
J.S in 1736. The record said that introduced this piano to Bach, and Bach performed on the piano to great king Frederic with this piano in 1747 seems to remain.

Before the piano appears
Posted by 9b | Filed under Piano
There seemed to have been something called the clavichord and a cembalo before giving birth the piano.
It is said that the clavichord is a birth in about the 14th centuries at the era.
There seemed to be the compass of the clavichord that was the main current at the Renaissance period by about four octaves and be five octave clavichord that Johann [zebasutei;an] Bach had been patronizing almost.
Because only the volume at [mezo] piano level went out of the pianissimo when the volume was very small because it had a very easy structure, and the sound had been emitted pushing it up with another horse from which the bowstring put on two horses was called a tangent, and it said with a present piano, the clavichord was unsuitable for the concert and the concert.
Therefore, the seat of the main current has been deprived by the cembalo in the baroque period.
The cembalo appeared in the baroque period though I said a little while ago.
There was a fault that said that it was not able to apply indispensable strength with the piano in the other side whose volume was larger than the clavichord the cembalo that was called a harpsichord by the alias.
By the way, the harpsichord is English in the cembalo in German.
It seems to be called the clavicembalo in [kuraviasan] and Italian in other French.
It seems that this cembalo might be musical instruments patronized in every country in the world by attaching of an alias different in each country.
However, only “Italian suite” and “[Go-rudoberugu] variation” seem to have been made even for Bach in Germany as for the tune for the cembalo while past famous composers such as Couperin and [ramo-] had made a lot of tunes for the cembalo in France.
It is likely not to have become a main current from this so much in Germany.
