Alwyn Humphreys: Hanes y Piano

Alwyn Humprheys sy'n olrhain hanes y pianoforte, 300 mlynedd ers i Bartolomeo Cristofori greu'r offeryn cyntaf. Alwyn Humprheys looks back at the history of the pianoforte.

Mewn gweithdy bychan yn yr Eidal yn hwyr un nos, fe wnaed darganfyddiad cerddorol chwyldroadol. Oni bai am y darganfyddiad fyddai neb wedi clywed llais Bryn TerfeL, na s诺n bysedd medrus Llyr Williams yn perfformio sonata enwog Beethoven dan olau'r lloer. Fyddai neb chwaith wedi clywed am Mozart, Chopin, Dilys Elwyn Edwards, na Jerry Lee Lewis.

Wrth arbrofi gyda'r harpsichord, fe benderfynodd y crefftwr Bartolomeo Cristofori daro'r tannau yn lle eu tynnu. Trwy wneud hynny, ar ddamwain fel petai, fe greodd offeryn newydd sbon oedd yn gallu creu s诺n 'piano' a swn 'forte'. A dyna'r enw cynnar ar yr offeryn - y pianoforte, neu'r enw mwy adnabyddus - y piano, Tri chan mlynedd yn ddiweddarach mae Alwyn Humphreys yn olrhain yr hanes a'i dylawnwad ar ein diwylliant ni.
