Exceptional technique is achieved by understanding the mechanics of the piano and the way you physically execute your performance on this remarkable instrument.
Interesting facts about the piano:
The Piano was invented in 1698 by an Italian, Bartolomeo Cristofori. The name piano is an abbreviation of the original name for the instrument piano forte or soft and loud. There are over 12,000 parts in a piano, 10,000 which are moving. Each note in a grand piano has more than 35 points of adjustment, over 3,080 adjustments for the entire piano. There is approximately 18 tons of pressure being exerted by the stretched steel piano strings. In a concert grand, it is close to 30 tons of pressure. The average strings have about 160 pounds of tension. There are about 230 strings inside a typical piano.
The action of a grand is superior in many ways to a vertical pianos, one being that any key can be repeated (reset) faster than any vertical upright (regardless of the name given by manufacturers i.e.: upright grand, studio grand, inverted grand, etc.).

I'm not entirely sure but I learned that it originally gravicèmbalo col piano e forte. It translates to "Harpsicord with soft and loud."
I hope that helped
