5 in C Minor, premiered in December 1808. It is a myth that one of the earliest pieces to use the piccolo was Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. Historically, the piccolo had no keys, but it should not be confused with the fife, which is traditionally one-piece, has a smaller, cylindrical bore and produces a more strident sound. In 2014, a festival was born entirely dedicated to piccolo, the International Piccolo Festival, which takes place annually in July in Degree (GO). But the piccolo will never achieve a complete transition to the Boehm system, since the bore has remained conical as in the old system flute and the first bottom note is D, like in the baroque flute. Until the end of the 19th century the piccolo maintained the same construction with keys of the classical and romantic old system flute, and only at the end of the century it began to be built with the Boehm mechanism, which in any case would become the standard only during the 1900s. During the Baroque period the indication 'flautino' or also 'flauto piccolo' usually indicated a recorder of small size (soprano or sopranino), and in particular this is the case of the concertos that Antonio Vivaldi wrote for flautino. In cultured music, however, the first piccolos are used in some works by Jean Philippe Rameau in the first half of the eighteenth century, but the instrument begins to spread, and therefore to have a stable place in the orchestra, only at the beginning of 1800 A.D.
