piano fitness is brutal honesty.  is it absolutely comfortable on every note?


training:

10 pairs-2nd center continues to need the most practice! 2-5 the most uncomfortable

piano fitness is focusing.  seeking and finding deeper releasing through better alignment.

piano fitness is continual self discovery.  looking inwardly discovering new feeling (the released finger-pit!) in the body.  listening outwardly discovering ease and freedom in the sound.  discovering the balance of ppp through fff and harmonic rhythm with bass,  lead, and additional voices.

piano fitness is internal investigation.  looking inwardly to see what you feel.  like a detective, finding clues to solve the mystery of how.  broken down simplistically, like computer code 0/1, f/p.  listen for any 2nd note to be softer than the 1st note.  i.e. if 1st note is pp then 2nd note is ppp.

practice:

op 53  apply this principle to: l.h. 8vas!  - the most technically challenging
                                               the "heavenly" beginning of the end
                                               the r.h. solo waltz immediately afterwards
