Here's something I posted elsewhere:

SENSE OF SURRENDER.
In studying the action of the tone passage we note something peculiar. We find no muscle to draw the tongue down, and if the jaw be pulled down actively the tone passage will be constricted at an important part and will not be opened.

The education of the tone passage brings us to one of the important but often entirely overlooked facts regarding the training of the human organism, —
surrender.

If we stretch out the hand and make it active and then withdraw the will from it, we can feel its weight. When the will is in the hand, there is no sense of weight; but when withdrawn from it to the wrist we feel the weight.

The tone passage is not opened by direct voluntary action. It must be relaxed. It opens because of the surrender of the back of the tongue and the jaw. All parts of the mouth, including the constrictors of the pharynx, all the muscles used in swallowing, are simply relaxed.

Though this is from a book about oration it's interesting how directly it relates to the weight/relax piano school.  From   https://www.archive.org/details/mindvoiceprincip00currrich 

He continues:

This includes the pillars of the soft palate, but not necessarily the delicate muscle that holds this up. The soft palate may be up or down and the passage open. Accordingly, the student should carefully develop the sense of sympathetic surrender at the back of the tongue, [my bold] and of all the parts of the tone passage. This sense has so many examples in the different steps to be taken that it requires some specific attention here. For instance, in breathing, the release of the actively retained breath after a tone is extremely important, I have found many voices faulty from the simple reason that the breath was not surrendered at the close of a phrase.

It is astonishing how many defects in the use of the voice are caused by a lack of the simple giving up of the different agents at the end of their action. Even in articulation this surrender is absolutely necessary. It is an essential part of their right production. Many agents must be trained to react instantly after action.
