http://www.mhks.org/whatare.htm : Fortepiano and Pianoforte (forte = loud, piano = soft) are two terms which were used in earlier times to describe earlier relatives of our modern piano. These terms are now used to describe historical pianos as distinguished from the modern concert grand. But perhaps this usage is a little too recent for Wikipedia.
