In cultured music, however, the first piccolos were used in some of <a href="/wiki/Jean-Philippe_Rameau" title="Jean-Philippe Rameau">Jean Philippe Rameau</a>'s works in the first half of the 18th century. Still, the instrument began to spread, and therefore to have a stable place in the orchestra, only at the beginning of 1800 A.D. During the Baroque period, the indication "flautino" or also "flauto piccolo" usually denoted a <a href="/wiki/Recorder_(musical_instrument)" title="Recorder (musical instrument)">recorder</a> of small size (soprano or sopranino). In particular, this is the case of the concertos that <a href="/wiki/Antonio_Vivaldi" title="Antonio Vivaldi">Antonio Vivaldi</a> wrote for <i>flautino</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>c<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Until the end of the 19th century, the piccolo maintained the same construction. Historically, the piccolo had the same keys of the baroque flute (one key) and then of the classical and romantic <a href="/wiki/Simple_system_flute" title="Simple system flute">simple system</a> flute. At the end of the century, the piccolo began to be built with the <a href="/wiki/Theobald_Boehm" title="Theobald Boehm">Boehm</a> mechanism, which would become the standard during the 1900s. However, it cannot wholly 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. The piccolo should not be confused with the <a href="/wiki/Fife_(musical_instrument)" class="mw-redirect" title="Fife (musical instrument)">fife</a>, which is traditionally one-piece, has a smaller, cylindrical bore, and produces a more strident sound. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Traditional_use">Traditional use</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Piccolo&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Traditional use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>It is a myth that one of the earliest pieces to use the piccolo was <a href="/wiki/Ludwig_van_Beethoven" title="Ludwig van Beethoven">Ludwig van Beethoven</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Symphony_No._5_(Beethoven)" title="Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven)">Symphony No. 5 in C Minor</a>, which premiered in <a href="/wiki/1808_in_music" title="1808 in music">December 1808</a>.
