@@Mickieotheros the power should be found in the sound alone. It's true that the fingers go together, because of the anatomy of the hand (muscles of hand and underarm) The power comes from the stiffness of the articulations of the arm. It's that power is made for the instant of the attack of the keys, the pianist can play healthily. If the stiffness is prolonged, injury is the result. There are many awesome books for pianists. A good one is "what every pianist needs to know" You are right about the functionality of the body. But there are some harmful mistakes that have been taught too many generations.

[@havardmj]

@IV 7766 So I guess the disagreement is about whether or not it's "one of the hardest". Regardless, bringing up that harder pieces exist, is redundant. It comes across as gatekeeping. To come to agreement about "one of the hardest" one has to define what that means. In my opinion, if 99.9% of piano players can't play a piece, it's one of the hardest, just by the numbers alone. Even if there are 30 pieces that are more difficult.
