Cristofori's great success was in solving, without any prior example, the fundamental mechanical problem of piano design : the hammer must strike the string, but not remain in contact with it(as a tangent remains in contact with a clavichord string) because this would dampen the sound. Moreover, the hammer must return to its rest position without bouncing violently, and it must be possible to repeat a note rapidly. Cristofori's piano action served as a model for the many different approaches to piano actions that followed. … In 1821, Sébastien Érard invented the double escapement action, which incorporated a repetition lever(also called the balancier) that permitted a note to be repeated even if the key had not yet risen to its maximum vertical position. This facilitated rapid playing of repeated notes, and this musical device was pioneered by Liszt. When the invention became public, as revised by Henri Herz, the double escapement action gradually became standard in grand pianos, and is still incorporated into all grand pianos currently produced. … In grand pianos, the frame and strings are horizontal, with the strings extending away from the keyboard. The action lies beneath the strings, and uses gravity as its means of return to a state of rest. 4, record 4, English, - action

Le piano est un instrument de musique polyphonique à clavier et à cordes frappées, il est donc classé parmi les percussions et les cordes. Le son est produit par les cordes, tendues sur un cadre rigide, au-dessus de la table d'harmonie. Elles sont frappées par des marteaux, couverts de feutre, actionnés par l'enfoncement des touches du clavier. La vibration des cordes est stoppée par un étouffoir lorsque la touche du clavier est relâchée. Un dispositif mécanique, appelé «échappement», permet à la corde de vibrer librement, puis au cours de son évolution, une répétition plus rapide de la note. […] L'un des mécanismes primordiaux du piano est le mécanisme d'échappement : si la touche et le marteau étaient directement liés, lors de la propulsion du marteau vers la corde, ce dernier resterait bloqué sur la corde, entraînant un étouffement du son produit. Afin d'éviter cet assourdissement, le marteau est propulsé par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce en forme d'équerre, le bâton d'échappement, qui bascule en arrière lorsque sa partie horizontale atteint une butée (réglable). Ainsi le marteau est libre de repartir en arrière dès qu'il a percuté la corde, qui peut alors vibrer sans être étouffée par le marteau. 2, record 4, French, - m%C3%A9canisme

Différentes parties d’un piano. Le clavier. […] Le mécanisme. Le fait de produire les sons par percussion oblige à utiliser une mécanique complexe. Contrairement aux instruments à corde pincée (clavecin, etc.), le piano nécessite un mécanisme d'échappement. En effet, lorsque le marteau est propulsé vers la corde par l'action de la touche, s'il y avait liaison directe entre le clavier et le marteau, ce dernier resterait bloqué sur la corde, entraînant un étouffement de la note aussitôt le son produit. Pour éviter ceci, le marteau est propulsé par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce en forme d'équerre, le bâton d'échappement, qui bascule en arrière lorsque sa partie horizontale atteint une butée (réglable). Grâce à ceci, le marteau est libre de repartir en arrière lorsqu'il a percuté la corde, lui permettant de produire son son. […] Le pédalier. [La] partie acoustique.

En 1821, Sébastien Érard inventa pour sa part le système à répétition, communément et improprement appelé double échappement, qui permet à une note d'être rejouée même si la touche n'est pas encore revenue à sa position initiale ; une innovation que les grands virtuoses sauront utiliser dans des compositions toujours plus difficiles et toujours plus rapides. Amélioré par Henri Herz vers 1840, le principe du double échappement devint finalement le mécanisme standard des pianos à queue, utilisé par tous les facteurs. Le déclin de la firme Erard fut en partie dû a sa volonté de conserver et de produire un instrument à cordes parallèles (ou obliques) dans lequel l'homogénéité du son est meilleure entre les basses et les médiums. […] L'appellation « double échappement » est à éviter car il n'existe bel et bien qu'un seul mécanisme d'échappement dans les pianos, on préférera ainsi le terme de mécanisme de répétition. 4, record 4, French, - m%C3%A9canisme
