Original post
I wish to tell in a few words what is the pianist work during daily study and performance. That is what the pianist always must do. The pianist must contemporarily: 1) To find the general muscular relaxation 2) To maintain bone alignment and correct body position 3) To activate muscles fingers of the hand 4) To check the speed of key …and last but not list pay maximum attention to the sound, to the “musical story”. What do you think about?
