Powor Consumption In Piano ri-yins.

Powor Consumption In Piano Playing.
The amount Of power expended "a
playing ON a piano has recently been
figured out IN a way which, II not alto
gether accurate, is at least interesting.
Commenting on the statement made
that 'it requires more force TO sound a
note gently on this instrument than II
does TO lift the lid Of q kettle" The
American Art Journal says that this Is
easy TO verify II one takes a small
handful Of coins and piles them on .
key Of the piano. When q Buflcie<>
quantity Is piled on to make aAaote
sound, they may be weighed and the
figures will DO found 10 bo true II the
pianist is playing fortiasimo, q much
greater force is needed. AZ times aforce
Of six pounds Is thrown upon q single
key to produce q solitary effect With
chords The force is generally spread over
the various notes sounded simultaneous
", though a greater output Of force 10
undoubtedly expended This is what
gives pianists the wonderful strength in
their fingers that IS often commented ON.
"a story used TO be told Of Paderew-
ski that he could crack a pane Of French
plate glass half I'm inch thick merely by
placing one hand upon Il as II upon q
keyboard and striking It sharply with
his middle finger. Chopin's last study
in o minor has a passage which takes
two minutes and Eve seconds 70 play.
The total pressure brought to bear ON
this. it is estimated, is equal to three
full tons. The average tonnage Of an
hours piano playing Of Chopin's music
varies from 10 TO 81 tons.
Wagner has not yet been calculated
along these lines. "-Cassier's Magazine.
