<span>The Harpsichord was invented before the piano. A harpsichord is like a piano in that you press a key to manipulate the strings. However, in a piano, when you press the key it causes a hammer to strike the string, and when you press a key on a harpsichord it causes a plectrum to pluck the string. A plectrum is like a quill and so when you play a harpsichord it can only play one volume. On a piano, when you push a key soft it will play soft and when you push it hard it will play loud. It's original name was a piano forte which is Italian for soft/loud.

D, opera
Extra information:
Songs were not cultivated in Italy, neither were symphonies. Concerts do mainly originate in Italy, but they do not have anything to do with the romantic era. The Opera, however is considered one of the most romantic musical forms and was cultivated in Italy. Therefore the correct answer should be Opera.
