Determining the specifics of sound production on the piano makes it possible to deepen the understanding of piano intonation, which is inseparable from the artistic concept, a choice of musical expressive means, methods of forming and reproducing sounds. The purpose of the article is to study the mechanical-acoustic features and properties of the piano in a holistic relationship with the organization of musical space and artistic means of performance, which were formed in the process of musical practice. Starting from B. Asafiev’s dialectical intonation theory, the methodology of the work reaches the systemic level, including the methods of historical, cultural and comparative research, general scientific logical methods of analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction. Realizing of the objectives of the article is carried out through the study of playing techniques and all the palette of piano touché used in their practice by pianists, as well as the factors that influence the formation of piano sound. It is claimed that conscious piano intonement, being the sound embodiment of musical thought, finds its direct expression through the specifics of sound formation on the studied instrument. The latter is inextricably linked with sound production techniques, dynamics, and pedaling.
