About physical and technical aspects

[junpiano123]

Hi
Yesterday I read a book,what every pianist needs to know about the body.
And I got the information about which muscles control the hand,fingers.
However,I want to understand how exactly do they be useful for tecniques? I recognise they are good for relaxation and prevention of injuries. So Indeed,I want to understand the process of getting a technique in a (difficult) section from applying the knowledge of anatomy for example how slow practice is able to reach a normal tempo(the brain? muscle memories?).
In addition,the book doesn't tell about how the brain works for piano playing.
Thank you

If it really worked that way, then graduates of sports medicine programs and physiotherapists would be getting paid tens of thousands of dollars to play concertos all around the world. After all, they have really good knowledge of anatomy!

The book you got is not very helpful, I'm afraid. The one you want instead is "24 Etudes, op. 10 and op. 25, by Chopin". Read everything in that book enough times that you memorize the entire thing, cover to cover, and you should understand everything you need to know about the physical and technical aspects of playing the piano.

Logical fallacies are cute.

With your logic, numerous teachers of NFL/NHL/NBA/MLB/Olympic/Boxing/MMA shouldn't exist.

Red Auerbach knew nothing, obviously. It's not like he played on the big stage!

Developing kinetic awareness and physiological knowledge is immensely helpful. Sure, it can treat and prevent injuries, but it also corrects factors that inhibit performance.
