Episode description
The action, or hammer mechanism, is the defining development in the history of the piano. It is the complex mechanical balancing act connecting the pianist to the strings, from the key to the hammer, allowing minute control of loud and soft, allowing each pianist to express themselves in their own unique way. Featuring Angela Hewitt, David Owen Norris and Ulrich Gerhartz.
