From music history classes long ago, we learned that the Baroque Period ran parallel with Bach's dates: 1685-1750. The piano was invented during those years somewhere about 1719 by someone named something like Christofori, but I really have forgotten the details.

The piano wasn't widely accepted at first. However, if I were to hear the term "Baroque Piano," I really would think off the top of my hat that someone had made a recording of something written for harpsichord, but had translated the work to piano. Carson McCullers was immovable in her belief that baroque harpsichord works sounded best on piano. So I'd describe her as a person who loved baroque piano, even though the term seems confusing at first sight.
