Hi, I was wondering if these two piano methods are similar?

They say Leschititsky never touched his students but prodded their elbows with a long stick. Sometimes I feel I am doing something similar when I guide the students elbow in an "oblique whole arm" movement. Leschititsky was big on arm weight - I tend to use other means. He was big on "indirect attack" which I also encourage but perhaps not in the same way. Apart from that I can't really say how similar we are... Perhaps some of you know more about this than I do? Thanks for the question, AFF
