Much has been said about performance, styles, and interpretation. However, we should ask ourselves where they come from, what they depend on, and what factors influence them. The answer proves very complex.This article deals with the problem of piano technique as an element on which interpretation, sound and expression depend to a large extent. The piano is an instrument with incredible tonal possibilities, but it requires fingering skills, the ability to ‘feel’ the keys and a certain physical strength which is directly related to the technique we use. Achieving a high level in playing requires years of diligent work, perseverance, and determination. Technical proficiency, in turn, facilitates expression and appropriate interpretation, in line with the style of a given musical period and the feelings of the pianist-performer. We are thus talking about two things that inexorably influence each other: technique and its results. The latter depend largely on the former. This article explores the knowledge of piano technique which needs to be acquired so that in the end nothing comes in the way of communication between performers, listeners, and the music.
