The Map
I.    Grand musical design
II.   Harmonic geography
III.   Flow of rhythmic energy
IV.   Melodic/thematic ideas and their transformation.
V.   All performance markings.

The Territory: Realizing the music as performance
I.   Choreography that physicalizes the harmonic and rhythmic flow
II.   Choice of gesture to realize tone quality
III.   “Spotting” to keep the larger piano terrain in sight    as you play.
IV.   Remembering your decisions


Shouldn't this thread be called "how to apply synthetic pseudo intellectual labelling to practical issues, in a way that will not help you to play the piano"?

When such bizarre classifications are presented without so much as a definition of terms, nevermind a practical elaboration, I suspect that you're right not to hold much hope. I'm only going on a basis of cross-referencing the bold title of the thread with the emptiness of that which has been submitted to it.
