On the [[piano]], tremolo on a single note is seldom used (though in [[harpsichord]] music its use was frequent), as it is difficult to execute and sounds more brilliant than agitated. One of the few piano works to incorporate this type of tremolo is the notoriously difficult third movement of [[Maurice Ravel]]'s ''Gaspard de la Nuit''. When the same effect as string instrument tremolo is desired on the piano, the pianist alternates as rapidly and smoothly as possible between two (or more) notes, often an octave apart. When done in the bass register of the piano, it creates a rumble like the [[timpani]].
