Interestingly enough, many people don’t know that it was Bart0lomeo Cristofori who had the foresight to create an instrument that would transform modern music and songwriting. Cristofori would have celebrated his 360th birthday this year and we are forever in his debt. Next time you sit down at the keys, think of old Bartolomeo, who could never have predicted his connection to you and your music so many centuries down the road. Hope you’re having a musical day~ if not, go play that piano and make it so!
