Let's talk about Piano Technique with Maestro Tiziano Poli

Very fair principles! However, they must be followed and monitored by a Master!

I shared the link because, all things considered, it was recent...

but I am aware of how these things have been said and written many times

for me, doubts always remain regarding the type of exposure and/or dissemination

that is, the hand of the person illustrating the principles is always a hand that is already pianistically trained

i would hope for a video that shows the same principles with a student in the scene, a student with a fragile, fragile hand...

maybe it has already been done?

I think I have already replied to you, anyway..... every "setup" of the hand must be followed by a Master who has clear ideas and who has the gift of transmitting them clearly. The video shows, it's true, what the goal is, but it cannot stereotype or codify a path that works for everyone. The path has to deal with our mental structure which, in your case, is strong and could work against you. The destructuring I often speak of means not analyzing and judging oneself too much moment by moment, something that an adult often does.....So, a good Master, clear ideas, and calm reliance

i am quickly picking up the issue that was left hanging, even though I notice

an absence of discussions in the study section...

what I wanted to introduce, but perhaps was not grasped, was a partial

critique of the type of dissemination regarding

the teaching of piano technique

posed as a foundation that cannot be taught via the web and requires the

presence of the Maestro; dissemination is instead possible and has always been

pursued, since the times of Clementi...

the bibliography on piano technique is vast to this day, but what I notice

is an insistence, in my opinion excessive, on themes relating to weight,

drop, rotation, relaxation etc... and this at the expense of other aspects

equally important if not foundational...

this is why I was speaking of a student on stage when doing dissemination like

the one mentioned above; a student would force one to become aware of the

learning process by reviewing some of the things said in too

vague a manner... (this is the critique)

one example: the 50 grams necessary to depress a key on a modern piano

which only mean something in organological terms...
