Following on an earlier thread on advanced pianists on Piano Street, I thought I would start this thread.

I am thinking of those who has written a lot on piano technique here or elsewhere, who has for example argued with others the most about things like hand position, how much to raise their fingers when practising, etc, but who either does not claim to play the piano, or is much less generous with sharing their recordings than with their wise words.
Beethoven - Sonata in C sharp minor, Op 27 No 12
Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu, Nocturn in C sharp minor, Op post
Brahms - Op 118, Nos 2 & 3

Well, I clearly haven't got enough experience in this forum for a complete response (only a couple of posts, with little success at inciting replies, although I've read quite a bit of threads).

Nevertheless, I feel the necessity to state the obvious: BERNHARD! He hasnīt posted in some years but he deserves much admiration for his knowledge of the piano (and everything related).

BERNHARD for president!
I wasn't around when he started posting, but from the old posts that I've dug up, he seems to have the most coherent and well structured piano method, well-documented in the form of posts, that are quite applicable to most pianists including myself. It doesn't seem like the long-winded debates that have cropped up of people arguing profusely merely on the trivial matters such as hand tension and wrist position.

Future responders should read the first post a little closer.

I had sort of the same idea of an answer... But you made it more politically correct, so I wont say what I planned to write.

Here we go again, everybody knows you dont raise your fingers, you raise your wrist ! And no, you dont get a recording just because I wrote that !
