From this investigation I have encountered enough details to support How The Development of The Piano Has Impacted Western Music. By using primary and secondary research I have gathered that the Piano has dramatically changed since the 17th century and that composition for music has been very dependent on these changes. The interview I carried out with Dr Pye brought me to the conclusion that the beautiful sound of the Piano is partly due to the expression the player puts into the playing as well as having the skill of knowing how to play the instrument whereas other instruments, such as the Organ, are more down to the ability of the player. Also, since the Piano can be a solo instrument as well as part of an ensemble, it has broadened the variety of genres in the musical industry throughout time which may have been the stimulus of songs in those newer genres.
Knowing this new information could benefit me in the ways that if I want to study Music at further education, background information may help me predict what the next step for the Piano is - seeing how changes have been made before fmight inspire me to develop the Piano even more.
I believe that musicians of the world today are exploited for their ability to play the Piano because in the 19th century, the percentage of people who could read music and had at least some proficiency at the piano was almost certainly far higher than today.
I think the Piano has not just had an impact on the music industry though, the filming business relies on music a lot of the time to make the audience feel a particular way for an action or a scene; for example, Jaws is notorious for the two-note motif entirely performed with the bass notes of the Piano. Another way how the Piano has had an impact is not found from all artists, writing songs. Some find the chords for their song first and the lyrics later but other do the opposite. The Piano has impacted those who who find the chords first, like Billy Joel, most because without the Piano, we may never have had the song. This could have been a similar case for other artist with other instruments too, for instance, Kurt Cobain.
