This is a brief video record of a piano performance by a 40 year old concert pianist with right hand dystonia. The recording is particularly valuable because (1) the piano has a mirror installed on the fallboard, so that "end-on" movements are easily seen; (2) she demonstrates the remarkable ability of accomplished musicians to compensate for degraded control to conserve the sound of intended performance. She is Subject 36 in the full research report on biomechanics at http://bit.ly/gCTnFQ
