Great Books for Piano Technique?

[j3r3my777]

I have been studying classical piano for quite a while, and have managed to make up my own technique, which includes the common curved fingers and loose wrist etc. The thing is that its not a constant technique for me. I begin to change my technique when my fingers start to hurt, so I change to arm-weight technique, but i can't get the sound I would get if I practiced with finger force/weight. I need a constant technique that I can rely on. Especially now that I am auditioning for colleges piano performance entrance exams. Please recommend me a book or give me your best opinion. It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi j3r3my777,

Authors to consider are Seymour Fink, Gyorgy Sandor, C. Chang and Bernhard's posts right here on Pianostreet.

I have read all these more than once. I have read others but I was most impressed with these in particular, Joe.
