A fortepiano ] is an early piano.
 In principle, the word "fortepiano" can designate any piano dating from the invention of the instrument by Bartolomeo Cristofori around 1700 up to the early 19th century.
 Most typically, however, it is used to refer to the late-18th to early-19th century instruments for which Haydn, Mozart, and the younger Beethoven wrote their piano music.
 Starting in Beethoven's time, the fortepiano began a period of steady evolution, culminating in the late 19th century with the modern grand.
 The earlier fortepiano became obsolete and was absent from the musical scene for many decades.
 In the 20th century the fortepiano was revived, following the rise of interest in historically informed performance.
 Fortepianos are built for this purpose today in specialist workshops.
Thomas "Blind Tom" Wiggins (May 25, 1849June 14, 1908, age 59) was an African American musical prodigy on the piano.
 He had numerous original compositions published and had a lengthy and largely successful performing career throughout the United States.
 During the 19th century, he was one of the best-known American performing pianists.
 Although he lived and died before autism was described, he is now regarded as an autistic savant.
Ballet as a music form progressed from simply a complement to dance, to a concrete compositional form that often had as much value as the dance that went along with it.
 The dance form, originating in France during the 17th century, began as a theatrical dance.
 It was not until the 19th century that ballet gained status as a “classical” form.
 In ballet, the terms ‘classical’ and ‘romantic’ are chronologically reversed from musical usage.
 Thus, the 19th century classical period in ballet coincided with the 19th century Romantic era in Music.
 Ballet music composers from the 17th–19th centuries, including the likes of Jean-Baptiste Lully and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, were predominantly in France and Russia.
 Yet with the increased international notoriety seen in Tchaikovsky’s lifetime, ballet music composition and ballet in general spread across the western world.

 The film was theatrically released on December 25, 2010 in the US.
 The film earned $237.4 million on a $112 million budget.

Underground is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Shane W. Evans.
 It was published by Roaring Brook Press in 2011 and received the Coretta Scott King Award for Illustrators in 2012.

The Théâtre d'Orléans (English: Orleans Theatre) was the most important opera house in New Orleans in the first half of the 19th century.
 The company performed in French and gave the American premieres of many French operas.
 It was located on Orleans Street between Royal and Bourbon.
 The plans for the theatre were drawn up by Louis Tabary, a refugee from the French colony of Saint-Domingue (Haiti).
 Construction began in 1806, but the opening was delayed until October 1815 (after the War of 1812).
 After a fire, it was rebuilt (with the adjacent Orleans Ballroom) and reopened in 1819, led by another émigré from Saint-Domingue, John Davis.
 Davis became one of the major figures in French theatre in New Orleans.
 The theatre was destroyed by fire in 1866, but the ballroom is still used.
Beverly Jenkins (born 1951, Detroit) is an American author of historical and contemporary romance novels with a particular focus on 19th century African-American life.
 Jenkins was a 2013 NAACP Image Award nominee and, in 1999, was voted one of the Top 50 Favorite African-American writers of the 20th century by the African American Literature Book Club.
 Jenkins's historical romances are set during a period of African-American history that she believes is often overlooked.
 This made it difficult to break into publishing because publishers weren't sure what to do with stories that involved African-Americans but not slavery.
