(Also, can you play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star without delegating to muscle memory? Probably yes. Sviatoslav Richter could probably do the same with the Wandererfantasie.) | |
| Jun 23, 2015 at 7:04 | comment | added | Tim H | About the 'becoming automatic' (=muscular memory): I learn from your answer that it shouldn't become a crutch, and the only way I'm able to play a piece. On the other hand I disagree with the idea that you never should need muscular memory. I'm not yet convinced that it is possible to play an instrument wihout it. There are so many things to coordinate that it seems impossible never delegating some of it to your hands, sometimes. | |
