How was World Piano Day created?
It is an initiative of the German pianist Nils Frahm, who in 2015 decided to propose it due to his fascination with this 17th century instrument. His goal was to raise awareness about the history of this artistic element and highlight its difference from other stringed instruments.
Before the existence of pianoinvented at the hands of the Italian musician Bartolomeo Cristofori, other pieces were known such as the zither, the monochord, the hurdy-gurdy, the escaque and the harpsichord, which bears a great resemblance to the instrument of this time.
Even the world of cinema has also been able to pay a well-deserved tribute to the great musicians who have established themselves as great piano virtuosos. Some of these cinematographic works have become true classics: The Young Chopin (1952), Shine (1996), The Pianist (2002) and Ray (2004).
