## Bio

Bartolomeo Cristofori di Francesco was born in Italy on May 4, 1655, and spent his career making musical instruments. Somewhere in that work he solved a problem no one else had: how to make a keyboard respond to touch with dynamic volume. The instrument he invented became the piano. He died January 27, 1731, decades before the thing he'd built would dominate concert halls and living rooms worldwide.
