What is the meaning of piano not instrument

Answer 1

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you aren't looking for an answer on what "piano" means in terms of it being a keyboard instrument. The other meaning of "piano" implies dynamics. Piano means "softly" or to "play it softly" It's an adverb and of course applies to the piece being played softly by any musical instrument.

Answer 2

Piano is the Italian word which means "softly" in English. It represents what is known as a Dynamic indication. Those are the volume controls in music.

Answer 3

Piano, as a Dynamic, means to play soft or softly. It can also be adjusted by adding Mezzo or "m" in front of the Piano symbol. This ("mf") indicates to play moderately soft, or medium soft if/when I'm instructing younger students!

Answer 4

Yup - piano actually means 'soft' - forte, on the other hand, means 'strong' - often meaning to play loud in music. The name piano for the musical instrument is a shortened name - the complete name of the instrument is 'Piano/Forte' - meaning an instrument that can be played 'Soft' or 'Loud'.

* Imagine the original keyboard was a harpsichord. It is a harp with a mechanism that plucks the string, this was originally the stem from a feather. As you push the key down it would pluck the string, and there was only one volume to it - pushing the key faster or slower made no difference in the volume.

* The piano (or Piano/Forte) produces sound by a hammer hitting the string; as you push the key down the hammer hits the string. If you press harder or faster the hammer hits harder creating a louder sound - softer press, softer sound.

So the true meaning is 'soft' as it applies to hitting - if you are in a fight don't be swinging 'piano' punches.
