Seven notes (and their variations) can be played on a piano. A, A flat, C, C sharp, C flat, etc. There are seven notes: A, B, C, D, E, F and G. On a standard piano there are 88 keys. Every one of them is one of the seven notes or variations of a note.

In theory, 88, since a standard piano has 88 keys. In actual practice, 10, since a normal piano player has 10 fingers. But then again, there are pieces for "piano four hands", which means two people playing on one piano, and such a piece could have 20 simultaneous notes. And, of course, you could hold down the sustain pedal and do a glissando down the keyboard and get *all* the notes ringing at once, I guess. So it's a matter of definition.
