Pianos have black and white keys because they help pianists decipher between natural pitches and semitone pitches. The white keys represent the musical tones, while the black keys represent the half-step intervals between those tones.0 The colors contrast with each other so drastically that they became the pattern on modern-day pianos.3 In the 18th century, the colors of the keys were reversed, with the white keys being black and the black keys being white.2 Today's modern piano has 52 white keys and 36 black keys. Most composers don't write music that includes notes beyond those available on the 88-key piano, and notes lower or higher than those on the 88-key piano aren't easy for the human ear to hear as distinct notes beyond those that already exist.
