Study on Touch Techniques and Tone in Piano Performance
Journal: Arts Studies and Criticism DOI: 10.32629/asc.v7i2.5091
Abstract
In piano performance, touch techniques and tone are crucial elements. Strengthening research on touch techniques and tone not only relates to the performer’s technical level and musical expressiveness but also directly affects the emotional impact of the music. As an instrument that is both expressive and versatile, the richness of the piano’s tone largely depends on the performer’s application of touch techniques. This paper first briefly introduces touch techniques and tone in piano performance, and then analyzes the significant impact of touch techniques on piano tone from four aspects: touch method, touch force, touch speed, and touch area. Finally, the paper proposes strategies such as scientifically selecting touch methods, practicing finger dexterity, and enhancing adaptability to different pieces, aiming to provide reference for piano performers to improve tone control and enhance the expressiveness of musical works.
