The finger and the key. Description: This is indeed a reedition of a video with nearly the same content. I just corrected some audio synchronization that rendered the video less understandable. </video> <video> 3. The Chopin method: the piano hand Description: Chopin used to tell his students that each finger should "fall" with extreme sensitivity on the keys. This action triggers everything else: metacarpal support (M), carpal support (C), elbow response (E), body response (B).
