Tiny fragments of piano pieces (9)

I believe the answer is:

particles

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'piano pieces' is the definition.
'particles' can be an answer for 'pieces' (I have seen 'Tiny pieces ' mean 'particles' so perhaps 'pieces' could also mean 'particles'). I'm not certain of the 'piano' bit.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for particles that I've seen before include "Minute pieces of matter" , "Scraps" , "Tiny pieces" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
