"Hi, I'm Scot Smith with Expert Village. What you just heard was a harpsichord. Harpsichord was an instrument that Johann Sebastian Bach played and Mozart and Beethoven, all the classical players played it. Harpsichord was a plucked instrument. A little quill would come down and hit the string, and pull on it and pluck the string. Unfortunately you couldn't adjust it's volume. If you hit the note hard, it wouldn't be any louder, than if you hit it, if it was soft, because it is being plucked, at the same strength. About 100 years later, a piano was invented. The beginnings of what is considered a percussion instrument, and that is a piano. The string comes up and hits the string, so it's in the same family as the drum. Here is the piano with the same song. Much more dynamic than the harpsichord. It has all of the elements that a composer, of the 14th, 15th, 16th century needed to write all the most famous symphonies that we're all familiar with today."
