When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists
“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive. But according to recent research, a robotic exoskeleton hand could help pianists improve their speed of performing difficult pianistic patterns, by overcoming the well-known “ceiling effect”.

red knuckles [Bob project]
on: July 02, 2004, 02:30:23 AM
Does anyone have any thoughts on red knuckles?  

I get this once in awhile and believe it's long term wear and tear, and definitely not good.  

Does anyone else get this?  Know how to prevent it or deal with it?

I get red knuckles when I practice non stop for long periods.  Like when I had to perform Liszt's Tarantella, and to build up stamina, I tried to play it 3 times, starting again right after I ended.  Now, this is about 30 minutes of prestissimo, Fortissimo, type stuff, and by the end, my knuckles were red.  

It doesnt hurt, so, I guess it cant be too bad...But then again maybe xvimbi has something different to say.

Me, different? Never! Actyally, I haven't given "red knuckles" much thought, and I wouldn't know what to say about it other than what donjuan said.
