Voicing means simply regulating the tone of the piano.  Specific goals =
about
brightness, power, sustain, balance, or charm, will vary so much from =
player
to player and technician to technician that a comprehensive definition
becomes quite problematic. =20

Hello Alan.

Nice thread for sure.

My own definition, though, would replace the ideas of optimal power and
sustain and even tone from note to note by the more complex idea of =
charm,
which may or may not include or exclude all or part of the former and =
other
things.

Best regards.

I'm looking to develop a short but comprehensive definition of piano
voicing. So far, I've got:

"Voicing is setting the overall brightness of the piano and evening out =
the
tone from note to note, while optimizing power and sustain. "

=20

Ideas appreciated, please.

Hi St=E9phane and list,

=20

When I think about voicing, the word tells me what it is : give the =
hammers
a voice

In German it is called "intonieren" and in Dutch it is "Intoneren" which
sort of means "working with tone, sound".

=20

To give a piano a voice is one.

What kind of voice another issue.
