I often use a principle from Tai Chi without naming it as such. Can you pick up on when I am doing this? ===================== I, just then, watched the video clip of a master class in Linz(?), when you get the pianist to have the spine adjusted according to the pelvis, that's something to do with power/energy in piano playing. It is one of they extremely important keys to relaxation then to enhance the freedom of one's arm, forearm, hand to fingers???? and it is from Taichi, If I am right? chy
