| Abstract(in English) | It is broadly accepted that the haptic information acquired when pianists touch piano keys gives important clues to moving fingers to the target keys. However, the detailed process and mechanism how such haptic information is utilized for hand and finger control have not been elucidated. Aiming to solve these problems, we measured when and how pianists (professional and amateur) touched the black keys when they performed several excerpts of classical pieces, and analyzed the temporal relationship between key touches and key presses. The result showed that when pressing a black key, they the pianists touched it more than about 40 ms earlier than the key press, and that they frequently touched the black keys irrelevant for key press (i.e., making sound). We discussed the significance of touching black keys in piano performance based on the results. |
