Hello, all -

I'm looking for an article from an old issue of Clavier magazine, called "Mechanics of Advanced Piano Technique" and written, I believe, by Adele Marcus.

Can anyone help me track down a copy?

Many thanks,
Mike L

I had a quick look around the web and failed to find this article. But you should be able to arrange for some kind of interlibrary loan:

https://www.worldcat.org

Marcus, Adele. 1972. “Mechanics of Advanced Technique.” Clavier, Vol. XI, No. 6 (September): 14-23.

If you are very lucky, it may be on shelf at a nearby university. Nowadays all you have to do is chat with live online library help during business hours and ask them to find what you want.

Thanks! I did see this, however my hope is really that someone has a copy and might be willing to email it to me. A former professor of mine teaching out in Aspen at the moment asked me if I had it and I was hoping to send her a PDF.
