Today I am giving you one of the most important pages of piano technique. Page 17 of Cortot's technical exercises.
The instructions for performing this exercise are all in the video. Read them carefully before attempting it. Be careful to always keep your fingers in contact with the key, accompanying it on the ascent. Soft wrist, well-arched hand; the fingers must not bend backward during execution. Relaxed shoulder and weight on the held note.

Well!! What can I say! Thank you and....this is a huge gem. I will use it immediately. Cortot was without a doubt a unique pianist with a particular approach to music, especially Romantic music....that sudden and dramatic fire, sometimes translated into sweetness, is indeed....truly unique. Chopin's preludes come to mind, which are among the pieces I love most. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
