Dear friends, could you point me to a video where one can see the correct hand movement for performing rapid staccato, the one with the wedge pointing towards the note, if you know what I mean?
Thank you all.

Do you have a piece in mind that we can refer to and in which you want to apply this technique?

No, I am learning a study from Bertini's op. 29, but the book doesn't say which number it is. In almost the entire piece, there are notes with a wedge. I think I am applying it correctly, but before studying for an entire week and then discovering that I had everything wrong, it would be useful for me to see some examples.
Anyway, thank you for your attention.

Ah, it's op.29 no.16 ...

It is called "punto caudato". The note must be played staccatissima and with a certain energy. So finger close to the key, wrist steady but flexible, finger steady but not rigid. Help from the forearm.

Thank you Paolo, I will try to follow the instruction. You know, when you are inexperienced, you are never sure if things are being executed correctly.
