Music Theory with the Ableton Push

The organ is one of the earliest musical instruments of Western musical tradition and all music harmony was studied on the organ keyboards. It was the first keyboard instrument, named 'Hydraulus', or hydraulic organ, was invented in the third century BC by the Greek Ctesibius of Alexandria, who crossed the "DNA" of the Greek "flute" called 'Aulos', with a hydraulic system that was actuated by valves similar to the keys that we will use in the keyboard later, it is possible to attribute the mathematical norms of keyboard advent to the Greeks, because they are the discoverers of the musical octave, and the whole mathematical division in the filling of this octave.

Long before the appearance of the piano, the introduction of the organ into the churches is traditionally attributed to the Vitalian Pope in the seventh century. The clavichord and the harpsichord appeared in the 14th century, it was not until the 18th century that the piano began to be rehearsed, but it still had no harmonious pedal, that is, to hold the harmony, it is also generically called a sustain pedal that took a long time to be incorporated into the piano, when Haydn heard that the pedal system had been attached to the piano, he soon ordered two.

Just curious to complement the text, about the foot harmonic pedal, whose etymological Latin word [pes], which means: for the foot
es: pie
fr: pied
it: piede
en: foot
gr: Fuß
Because of the Saxon influence of German into the English language, left the Germanic source [Fuß to Foot] within English language to this day, by the way, also the words 'Hand and Finger' are German words, but not English. As well as the Germanic influence of naming the phalanges of the feet and hands to differentiate them; 'toe and finger'.

In Russian is the same word as the English language: [фут]
