instrument, derived from the harpsichord and the
clavichord. Also called the pianoforte, it differs
from its predecessors principally in the
introduction of a hammer-and-lever action that
allows the player to modify the intensity of sound
by the stronger or weaker touch of the fingers.

was called a gravicembalo col piano e forte
