Who created the 88-key piano?
Correct answer: Steinway
Seba
Interesting. Based on this info most classical music (Mozart, Beethoven and such) used a 54 key piano to create their masterpieces.

Good question. No one has made a comment in a while. My step mother was a concert pianist.

A piano is considered to be in 2 instrument classifications, percussion and strings.

I love the playful tink of a harpsichord, as well.

at first I was thinking of Thaichkovsky but then Steinway made the most sense because of their long history of piano production

Seba, Actually Mozart composed his music on a harpsichord. Today his music is played on a piano.

Couldn't believe it that Beethoven, my favorite composer, did all his piano masterpieces on just a 54-key piano, which just translates to 4 & a half octaves.

Player #34569112, baroque music is my favorite

Seba, oh just realized you said mozart and beethoven. they composed after the piano but before the 88 key, so you are right!
humbeldywump
Seba, i believe they were keyboards, harpsichords, or organs back then
