A large keyboard instrument that produces sound by striking strings with hammers when keys are pressed, commonly used in music performance and composition.

Where the word comes from

From Italian *pianoforte*, a compound of *piano* (soft) and *forte* (loud), named for the instrument's ability to vary volume—unlike earlier harpsichords. *Piano* comes from Latin *planus* (flat, level), while *forte* comes from Latin *fortis* (strong).
