Rediscover your piano technique.

“Technique” is much more than mechanics. As the great Italian pianist and composer Ferruccio Busoni once wrote, “technique in its truer sense has its seat in the brain. It is composed of geometry—an estimation of distance—and wise co-ordination.”

It is in this spirit that super-virtuoso Marc-André Hamelin demonstrates special warm-up patterns and practice devices he has adapted and developed from lesser-known piano manuals written by great pianists and composers of the past.
