Hi Dezac,
This is a known problem and is down to settings in the TimGM6MB soundfont supplied with MuseScore.
The following conversation in the issue tracker is highly relevant to your problem.

At present this is unresolved, although there is now an initiative to provide new soundfonts specially for MuseScore:

It's early days at them moment, but then 2.0 is not out yet with the multiple soundfont support required to greatly improve playback quality.
I suspect for now the best plan is to raise the piano level in the mixer window.

When you saved in Midi file and play it, The piano sounds okay in midi
In reply to Re: by Dezacled
That is because playing a MIDI file will not use the same soundfont as MuseScore.
The default MIDI soundfont on a Windows machine is the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, a pretty awful rendition!
MuseScore uses Fluid to render the sound via a soundfont.
If you wish to change the soundfont, and therefore probably clear the problem instructions are here: http://musescore.org/en/handbook/soundfont

As stated, the dynamics of the piano soundfont are all to pot (f is just OK, pp is all but inaudible). If you just want to listen to the piece without any change in dynamics, right-click on a note, Select -> All Similar Elements, right-click again and choose Note Properties, set velocity type to user and velocity to 126. This will playback all notes at full volume and the piece will still be visibly unchanged.
Probably the easiest solution is to bring up the mixer and adjust the volume of the piano up and bring the others down until they sound even.
