is extensively used in cooking, ice cream, flavorings-and just eaten raw

For a century and a half the piano has been one of the most popular solo instruments for Western music Unlike string and wind instruments, the piano is completely self- sufficient, as it is able to play both the melody and its accompanying harmony at the same time For this reason, it became the favorite household instrument of the nineteenth century
The ancestry of the piano can be traced to the early keyboard instruments of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries-the spinet, the dulcimer, and the virginal In the seventeenth century the organ, the clavichord, and the harpsichord became the chief instruments of the keyboard group, a supremacy they maintained
until the piano supplanted them at the end of the eighteenth century The clavichord's tone was never powerful, nevertheless, because of the variety of tone possible to it, many composers found the
clavichord a sympathetic instrument for intimate chamber music The harpsichord with its bright, vigorous tone was the favorite instrument for supporting the bass of the small orchestra of the period and for concert use but the character of the tone could not be varied save by mechanical or structural devices The piano was perfected in the early eighteenth century by a harpsichord maker in Italy (though musicologists point out several previous instances of the instrument) This instrument was called a piano
