Very interesting indeed.Of course this kind of playing is very tiring so it is necessary to achieve a good athletic conditions of hands and arms, but the final result is quite impressive.
what a sound!.
Hi there.What do you think about playing with arm's tension and strong pressure on the keyboard? Try it either in pp and ff, pushing the key very slowly but with great tension of fingers and arms...and listen.. what a sound!.Dan
Dead end.Besides all physical problems and injuries it leads to, it contradicts the main principle of performance--first, you have to have an image of the sound, only after that produce it--not the other way around.What happens, is that your brain has an image, then it send an impulse into your finger tip, you take the sound, listen how it matches your image, and then your brain sends impulse of correction, or feedback. If there is ANY tension on the way, no matter whether it is in your neck, arms, even in finger joints, it blocks away this signal of correction, and the whole mechanism gets completely unbalanced.
