I have a short question.
How exactly does a pianist control tone when he or she plays the piano? I
have thought for a long time that it had more to do with the piano than the
player but recent reading has made me think otherwise. Well of course the
instrument makes a difference, but the player can control tone? I don't see
all that well how that is possible seeing as it is the hammer that hits the
string. Is it then how the pianist hits the note which controls the
hammer?
Well I don't really know, but I would like someone with any general info of
piano tone to come forward:)
And like give me an example (?), say what is the tone difference between
Glenn Gould and Ashkenazy (something along the lines of that).
Thanks:P
