Piano History
ABOUT THE PIANO A SHORT HISTORY OF THE PIANO If you have ever played a harpsichord or a clavichord, you know they feel dif- ferent from a piano. In a piano, a hammer is thrown at the strings when you press a key on the keyboard. The hammer quickly rebounds so the string can vi- brate for as long as you hold the key down (or even longer if you use the damper pedal). The harpsichord is different because the strings are plucked by a plectrum (originally the pointed end of a feather, now made of plastic or other synthetic material). Because the harpsichord plucks the string (as opposed to a hammer striking the string), you are very conscious of the moment the plucking takes place. The clavichord strikes the string with a metal tangent. Unlike the piano’s ham- mer that rebounds right away, the tangent stays in contact with the string. So the clavichord, too, has its own feel. A keyboard instrument called a virginal was a small and simple rectangular form of the harpsichord. The spinet was another small harpsichord-type instru- ment. These are some of the earliest keyboard instruments. Even the fortepiano, the name given to the earliest piano to distinguish it from the modern pianoforte, or piano, has its own feel—the depth of the key fall is shallow and it takes much less weight to press the key down. THE CRISTOFORI PIANOFORTE The piano itself was invented in Italy in 1709 by Bartolommeo Cristofori. His was a four-octave instrument (compared to our seven-and-a half-octave modern instrument), with hammers striking the strings just as they do on a modern pi- ano. -

Johann Sebastian Bach and the Fortepiano
Johann Sebastian Bach and the Fortepiano The keyboard music of J.S. Bach (Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750 was mostly intended for the harpsichord. At that time, this instrument had a central position in the musical world, and had reached a state of high perfection. However, because it used a plucked string mechanism, it was not possible to express nuances on the keyboard, by playing loud or soft. The clavichord, on the other hand, another very popular instrument instrument, functioned by striking the strings, thus making different expressive nuances possible. Unfortunately, this instrument had a small range, and an extremely discreet sonority, which makes for a particularly confidential usage: it could hardly be used for public concerts. For that reason, the idea arose of replacing the plucked string system of the harpsichord with another, newly developed mechanism using hammers, which would strike the strings and thus make it possible to play with different dynamics. This was the system developed by Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731), circa 1700 in Florence, Tuscany. Over the years, he developed and perfected his invention to a level of complexity which made his instruments expensive. Simplifications were made soon afterwards, only for the complex designs of Cristofori to reappear later in yet more highly developed pianos. This is a sure sign of his exceptional creativity. The simplified mechanism was introduced by Gottfried Silbermann (1683-1753), a well-known German organ builder, who had shown an interest in Cristofori’s new piano. During the mid-1730s, Silbermann had presented his simplified instrument to J.S. Bach, who was at that time not well pleased; he is said to have complained about the pinched sound in the high notes, and the heavy touch required. -

2016 RECIPROCAL ADMISSIONS PROGRAM Participating Gardens, Arboreta, and Conservatories
AMERICAN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 2016 RECIPROCAL ADMISSIONS PROGRAM Participating Gardens, Arboreta, and Conservatories Program Guidelines: A current membership card from the American Horticultural Society (AHS) or a participating RAP garden entitles the visitor to special admissions privileges and discounts at many different types of gardens. The AHS provides the following guidelines to its members and the members of participating gardens for enjoying their RAP benefits: Call the garden you would like to visit ahead of time. Some gardens have certain exclusions for special events, or if you live within 90 miles of the garden, etc. Each garden has its own unique admissions policy and hours of operations, which is also why we recommend checking ahead of time to get the most up to date information. Present your current membership card to receive the RAP benefit(s) listed for that garden. Each card will only admit the individual(s) whose name is listed on the card. In the case of a family, couple, or household membership card that does not list names, the garden must extend the benefit(s) to at least two of the members. Beyond this, gardens will refer to their own policies regarding household/family memberships. Some gardens may require a photo ID. The 90-mile Exclusion policy allows a garden to exclude members of gardens within 90 miles of it from receiving the RAP benefit(s). For AHS members, the exclusion is based on their home address. Please contact the garden you belong to or the garden you plan to visit to inquire about their enforcement of this policy. -
