The history of Pianos

Postby Theis » Mon Dec 18, 2006 12:37 pm

Do you know the history of pianos?
It's quite uninteresting! ;D

The first piano was build, long after they didn't had any at all.. ( :-? )
And it consisted of one big white key, and people stood up, and played on it with their underarms..
But the composers hated it, because they could only play that single tone!
And it was very monotonous to listen to, particularly doing piano concerts.
It was not until someone invented the cracks!
That changed everything!
And then came civil rights..
And that is what made it possible for us, to produce some lovely music!

The end!

ATI... ;)...!

It's about time you learned to play a musical instrument, and entertained yourself playing your own music instead of just listening to the efforts of others... ;)...!
...its fun... ;D...!

Try it....you'll like it...;)...!

It's amazing how many people I meet every day, who wish they had learned to play a musical instrument in their younger days...and now it's too late...!

Paul...Making your own music is fantastic...trust me... 8-)...!


How about this from a talented little pianist...>>>
