As i know, the pianoforte was developing during classical period, it allows performer to do many things thus it stands out as a popular keyboard instrument, the musical genre of piano is expanded because many composers started to focus on piano repertoires (not necessary solo, but also chamber works and concertos)
May i know how the pianoforte has been developed from baroque to classical period? apart from the evolution of the mechanism, why is the piano became more and more popular in 18th century? how does this relate to the growing importance of the classical keyboard concertos as apublic musical genre? what significant role did the piano play for composers who compose classical piano concerto? anyone could reply me?
