development OF
The PIANO FORTE
Discussed in a Lecture Delivered by
j. A. Pennington Before Musical
Section of Woman's Club.

j. Alfred Pennington, director OF the
Scranton Conservatory of Music, de-
livered an exceedingly interesting lee
ture last night before the music sec
ton of the Green Ridge Women's club,
taking as his theme 1.-THE Development
of the Piano-Forte."
He traced the development of this in
strument from the early ages of his
tory and pointed out that as early as
the first century there were organs
with keys on them. The instrument
from which the piano was evolved was
the monochord, which was known to
the early Greeks.
and from it was evolved the clavichord,
which was an instrument with many
strings. The action was caused by a
brass tangent. which pressed against
the strings and caused them to vibrate.
'"rhe action Of the clavichord," said
Mr.. Pennington, "was so slight and the
tone so tinkling that composers Of
clavichord music were obliged to put
in many little extra flourishes. A quiv-
ering effect could be produced on it
which cannot be on the modern piano,
and this loss is greatly to be deplored."
contemporary VI TIE cluNlcIIoIu
was the harpischord. On this instru
ment the key operated a piece of mech
anism which plucked the strings as
one would pluck the strings of a harp,
producing tone totally unlike the
tone of the clavichord. Up to the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century, he
said, the hammer had not been used to
produce the tone.
In 1909 Christie Fari, an italian, in
vented hammer action and produced
the first piano 1t was a small, thin
toned instrument. The chief improve
ment on the piano was the invention of
the full iron frame by Babcock, an
American. This. he said, was later i'm
proved by Chickering, and is now used
all over the world.
The iron frame allows the use OF
heavier strings and a larger hammer.
thus insuring fuller and more sing
ing tone. Mr.. Pennington said. that
nowhere We're such splendid pianos
produced as in this country.
In conclusion, a number of selections
We're rendered by several of the men,
bers present.
