This is by far my favorite, and I just blogged about it at my arioso7 wordpress blog site.
Long live the supple wrist.. which flies in the face of the Taubman contingent's beliefs.
Maestro Bernstein, I cannot agree with you more. I teach the UNDULATING wrist as the staple of my private practice. I don't really analyze the anatomical detail that you do, but I know viscerally how to sculpt a phrase with the falling and rising wrist. This is pivotal to the production of a singing tone.

@waynekail Dear Wayne, you expressed exactly what I had intended when I made this movie. I am very impressed with what you wrote. I'm sure that you must be a dedicated and highly intelligent musician.
Thank you for writing to me.
