钢琴

Bartolomeo Cristofori Italian

1720

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 684

这架钢琴是从巴托罗密欧·克里斯多佛利的作坊中保存下来的三架钢琴之一，也是现存最古老的钢琴。巴托罗密欧·克里斯多佛利大约于1700年在佛罗伦萨的美第奇宫中发明了钢琴。大都会博物馆的这架钢琴造于1720年，至今仍可弹奏。它的复杂机制是现代钢琴的原型，但其键盘更短，也没有踏板提供音色对比。不过这架琴的音域包括三个独特音区：温暖深沉的低音；更加鲜明的中八度；亮丽清脆的高音。克里斯多佛利的发明主要用作伴奏，被人称为“刚柔相济的拨弦键琴”，指其新颖的灵活性。
