ABSTRACT

It has been almost three centuries since the birth of the piano. At the beginning of its development, piano keyboards have not been taken seriously. The ideological trend during the Romantic period slowly influenced the European literary world, and further penetrated into the music art. This new trend that focuses on personal thoughts and feelings caused the old-fashioned keyboard instrument to gradually withdraw, and the piano became the mainstream in the 18th century with its outstanding performance. After a century of development and evolution, the emergence of a large number of piano masters has brought the piano development to a climax. Weber, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann, and other musicians of the Romantic period inherited the foundation of classicalism. By combining contemporary cultural works, they changed their playing techniques.
