Hello, does anyone know when the musical keyboard was created and by who. Also which new musical elements did the keyboard create when it was introduced to mainstream music. Plus the advantages and disadvantages of the keyboard. THANKS.
During the 17th century (baroque period) in Europe, numbers of keyboard was invented during this period, the keyboards that was used here are clavichord, harpsichord and organ. The development of pianoforte which is now the full scale piano was introduced during the 18th century (classical period). The adventages of having a keyboard for me, it would be probablly give me enjoyment, especially when you can play a keyboard well, aside from giving an entertainment feature it can also provide us jobs for those talented musicians out there. It can also express ourselves through playing a keyboard. Well for the disadvantage side, I don't see anything problem aside from its high cost. Maybe some muscians cannot express their interpretation on the keyboard but somehow they can used other medium. Im not sure about the inventor of the keyboard: Rubenstain or waldstein.
