Technically speaking, The piano is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard. It produces sound by striking steel strings with felt hammers that immediately rebound allowing the string to continue vibrating at its resonant frequency. These vibrations are transmitted through the bridges to the soundboard, which amplifies them. What makes the piano a truly wonderful instrument is its resonance and its dynamic range. The hammering action and the range in vibration of the strings allows it to be played in any dynamic, from pianissimo (very soft) to fortissimo (very loud). What sets the piano apart from other keyboards is its ability to play not only soft and loud, but to make crescendos and diminuendos and change dynamics very quickly or very gradually. The piano is a means to convey emotion through dynamic interpretation. Its wide range, dynamics and expressive tonal quality makes it a pleasure to write emotional pieces for the instrument. I hope that each piece here conveys a truly emotional interpretation of this incredible and dynamic instrument, in what lies in the beauty of the piano solo. Thank you, Brendan Davis - Piano Soulos
