Practical application of intensity:

In performance, intensity is of great significance to part processing. Main-key music often has melody , middle voice and bass and several other parts. If the melody uses mf, the accompaniment part uses p to set off the main melody; if the accompaniment part uses mf, the melody part uses f.

The melody lines should be prominent, the middle part should be quiet and full, the bass should be solid, clear and elastic. This requires different strength control of both hands, and even different fingers of one hand have different strengths when completing different parts.
