Keyboard music is any music written for solo organ, harpsichord, piano, fortepiano or any other keyboard instrument. For convenience, piano four-hands pieces and works for two pianos have also been included here. Although some works were originally written for one instrument, they can be (and often are) performed on different keyboard instruments. Harpsichord works, for example, are frequently played on the piano, while works originally written on the fortepiano are often played on the modern piano, although the historically informed performance movement has changed this in recent decades.
