Clod described what I want you to do accurately. Don't let ANY of the other strings resonate, and you'll hear the difference between the note you play and the note you hear.
the damper on the strings really doesn't stop them from moving along their length. The resonance of ALL The other strings is critical to the sound that we call "the piano".
This might get overly scientific
