A Study on the Inaccuracy of Keystroke Force in Piano Performance and Its Optimization Strategies
Xiangyu Bai · Journal of Humanities Arts and Social Science · 2025
The art of piano performance relies heavily on the meticulous control of touch intensity, where the precision of force not only determines the quality of sound production but also directly shapes the completeness and depth of musical expression. In current performance practice, inaccuracies in force control are widespread, manifesting across dimensions such as tactile dullness, stiffness in dynamic variation, and deficiencies in nuanced dynamic handling, all of which severely constrain overall performance quality. This study systematically examines the characteristics and underlying causes of insufficient precision in touch intensity during piano performance, drawing on research findings related to perfor-mance psychology, physiological mechanisms, and pedagogical methodologies. Furthermore, it explores optimization strategies including innovations in fundamental technical training, the construction of contextualized performance experiences, and the integration of technical and artistic approaches in teaching, aiming to provide both theoretical support and practical guidance for the advancement of force control capabilities in piano performance.
