Latinum discendus

[retorick]

I enjoy listening to a piano performance of Chopin.

In audiendo musicam Chopini delector.

I suppose there must be a conventional way to say "piano" in Latin?

I find "cano, canere, cecini, cantus" for "to play music." I find such words as "chorus, -i" and "actus, -us" for "performance" but suspect they don't answer to the context.

Suggestions?

According to Traupman's Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency, it is: clavicordium for the instrument; clavicordio ludere for the action of playing it.

A Dutch-Latin dictionary that I have, gives 'organum fidibus et pinnis instructum', but that seems a bit akward to me .

Maybe this / Suggero ità: "Me acroamata [seu monodias] operum claviario [seu clavicordio] apud Chopin audire delectat."

Fortassè, melius est "clavicordium" pro (anglicè) "clavicord", "claviarium" pro "piano" ??
