piano fitness is persistent.  mapping the 2nd finger continuously strengthens...allowing the finger to move and feeling it move.   persevering with no finish line?  improvements felt daily.

piano fitness is revelationary.  focus reveals new sound feelings.  piano mapping to the 2nd/3rd connection is stronger.  the first trill in minute waltz is accurate for the first time.

piano fitness is love/hate.  sometime it's difficult to choose to practice/train, and getting to the bench is the hardest part.  once seated, an hour or more easily disappears.
