This could be a double definition.

'playing' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'it can involve four hands' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for piano that I've seen before include "entertain with this softly" , "Clavier" , "key holder" , "Keyboard instrument" , "Stringed instrument - to be played quietly" .)
