 Re: Minimalism Causes Injuries (So Does Beethoven)

One of the most dangerous pieces for pianists is just about the opposite of minimalist: It's the Brahms Bb concerto, aka "the Baby Flattener." The 4th finger of the right hand takes a terrible beating in that piece. A great many young pianists have developed carpal tunnel system while obsessively practicing the long, long trills over and over and over. I've heard that Leon Fleischer's focal dystonia got started with his preparations to record the Bb concerto with Szell and the Cleveland Orch. Magnificent performance, may it never go out of print, but what a price he paid. Botox injections and exercises finally let him back into the concert hall a few years ago.
