The Song Cristofori’s Dream
For some reason I heard a little tune by a piano player and composer named David Lanzand I liked it so much I did a search on Google about it. The song is titled Cristofori’s Dream.According to a short article on David Lanz that I read, Cristofori was the Italian inventor of the piano. Before the piano the instrument was a harpsichord, which had a different sound and many limitations to the range of notes and sounds it could produce. Cristofori made and repaired harpsichords and dreamed of a more sophisticated and elegant instrument, so he invented the piano in his repair shop. Lanz wrote this song to honor Cristofori and I think it is a great story and a wonderful, beautiful song.
