I ordered the DVD just now, I'm very happy with this decision and look forward to start working with it.
I read also the blog at and can relate with this story very well: wanting to play the more bigger works but never to be able to because of technical limitations. In my case, I feel that the biggest limitation is tension that build up somewhere, a physical thing, that brings me in problems. I'm sure that this is something I can change with the help of the DVD: rebuilding it from the basics.
Thanks!

Hello,
I watched the whole DVD once and now started again from the beginning, it's really a very good production! I recognize some techniques that are used although I don't use all of them in my playing. I tried out some of the first chapter, The Arches of the Hand and I noticed that the grasping technique does help me in not getting tense in my forearm, that normally prevents me from playing rappid octave passages (like in the Chopin Polonaises). Also the fast playing of scales as presented on the DVD is something I never though of, I'm sure it will help me a lot, but I have to try this out for some longer first.
Thanks for this nice DVD, Allan!

Dear Andreas,
Thanks for your kind words. I am glad it is helping and hope that the DVD continues to feed this process of rebuilding a technique from the ground floor up.
Best wishes,
AFF
