What is the main idea of this paragraph?

• Mozart and Bach did not compose music for the piano.
• Johann Sebastian Bach was a great organist and writer.
• The piano had not been invented three hundred years ago.
• The harpsichord was a keyboard instrument before the piano.

Alice's adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, John Tenniel 
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"  So she was considering, in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
