@musicisasuperpower OK, I accept this, only when I see a player with high and hunched fingers, I hear some sharpness and stiffness in their touch and tone. One of most clear Lisz's recommendations to his pupils - to play with the balls/pads rather than with the peaks of the fingers for a more soft and melodious sound.

@Hobott I have done extensive research on piano technique, studying the commonalities between the techniques of the greatest performers and pedagogists, and the problem with both of your arguments is the question itself. You are evaluating hand position and finger movement based on the relaxed hand position being the same as it is in motion. studying the greatest techniques you will realize that they will use all combinations of techniques and muscles that they can to create the affect they want

@Hobott Don't agree at all, but can respect your opinion

Excuse me, I'm not a proffy piano-player (proffy musician yet) I want to share my opinion - the most right, perfect touch, hands position and technic owns Valentina Lisitsa (Horoviz as well) - with low flat fingers - and because of that with less strain, less weariness, more flexibility and freedom with control both. The same were the hand positions by Liszt, I guess. Cziffra, Richter they're geniuses and phenomenons but their technic is not for everyone. Sorry for my English

@abmsghost1 Nothing leads with great certainty to anything. Wrong playing does. Many schools of piano, unlimited muscular settings so it is both wrong saying that clear articulation and evenness is due to finger lifting, and saying that finger lifting provokes pain. It does often provokes pain assuming a certain wrong condition of the muscles which are wrong. Fingers can be raised in many ways. Even raising proximal phalanx or middle ph. are activated by different muscles.
