The concept of using dynamic markings (which indicate the relative loudness of different sections in the music) in sheet music came about around the same time as the piano — for good reason. Before the invention of the piano by Bartolomeo Cristofori in 1709, most composers were confined to writing most of their pieces for either the harpsichord or the clavichord; neither instrument had the capability to play both soft and loud sounds easily.

The reason for this is that the basic internal design of both the harpsichord and the clavichord follows the design of a stringed instrument. However, instead of having one’s fingers in direct contact with the string, as with a guitar or a fiddle, harpsichords and clavichords are fitted with a plucking mechanism inside the instrument itself. When a certain key is pressed, the corresponding internal string is plucked by the mechanism. No matter how hard or soft you press the keys of either instrument, the resulting volume is pretty much the same. Therefore, clavichords were used for quiet pieces of music that required lots of vibrato (quavering quality to notes that usually comes from a stringed instrument), whereas harpsichords were used for louder, brighter-sounding pieces.

Although the piano looks a lot like these two other instruments, it’s really very different. The piano incorporates a hammer-and-lever mechanism that strikes each string with the same force as the human finger on the piano key did; this is why the piano is considered a percussive instrument. The piano made both quiet and loud sounds possible on the same instrument, and, therefore, in the same musical piece. This is why the piano was originally named the gravicèmbalo col pian e forte, or “harpsichord with soft and loud.” The name was later shortened to pianoforte and, finally, to piano.

Since its inception, the piano has been the universal tool of choice for composing music, because almost every note you would ever want to work with is present on the keyboard, right there in front of you. Most pianos have at least 7 octaves to work with, and concert pianos can have more than 12 octaves.

The arrangement and movements of performers relative to each other and to the stage space is called
aksik [14]

The arrangements and movements of performers relative to each other and to the stage space is called blocking.

<h2>About Blocking in stage</h2>

The blocking referred to here is the layout of the cast when on stage. Just so you know, their location wasn't a random choice of actors or actresses, it was all arranged from the start.

This doesn't mean limiting the improvisation of the actors in the drama, but indeed their position can directly influence whether or not the stage is good. So it's important for every drama actor to learn how to manage blocking, so that his role can be more optimal in front of the audience

<h3> How to process blocking</h3>

1 Approaching Reality.

This is one of the targets for blocking management, making every detail that is presented on stage really close to the reality you want to tell.

2 Proportional.

This is also an important point in processing blocking in drama. Every arrangement must be ensured to be proportional so as not to make it one-sided which ultimately interferes with the view. Starting from the location of the cast and the props, try to fit the atmosphere you want to build in the scene. Properties that are intended as supporters should not interfere with the acting of the players.

3 Position Variations.

Although the story raised in the drama is very interesting, the positioning is not varied, so the audience can get bored. Especially if the plot of the drama tends to be slow, variations in arrangement are very important to maintain audience interest. The composition is made not monotonous, whether it's from the aspect of movement or its location.

4 Central Points of the Story.

Although the stage is very wide, the view of the audience is still limited. They can only see one point at a time. Because of this there is the term center point in a drama stage, to refer to the area that becomes the point of attention of the audience during the scene. All actors and properties need to be directed to support the audience's attention at that central point.

5 There is balance.

The meaning of Balanced in Blocking is related to the position of the players, the position of the property objects used during the performance which are arranged in such a way according to the script and the setting of the place. So it doesn't cluster in one place and can spread to the corners of the stage.

6 Have Wholeness.

The purpose of wholeness is that the displayed blocking should be able to show the connectedness between the components involved. So all the placement of player positions, player movements, placement of property objects must be able to support each other so that they show the impression of a complete story and there are no good positions between players and property objects that overlap each other.
