Hi, I'm no veteran myself either... I'm looking for advices a few posts ahead. :) What I can tell you is to practice old, easier pieces slowly and completely relaxed. Read the arm weight method if you don't know in this book:

Also, you might practice the method of Schmitt. I didn't quite understand your problem but you can benefit from his Preparatory Exercies, Op.16

Thank oguzcan for advices. Similar things are spoken to myself by my teachers. But I think it does not help. Maybe I do not have patience.
When I play the piano my tone is very quiet. When I try to play richer tone I do not know how to make out piano from forte.

Your hands are tense but your tone is quiet?

Did you read the link above? There's a good exercise to get the feeling of relaxed hands. Maybe you should show your hands how to relax before incorporating in your playing.
