Every pianist seeks freedom in the hands...the kind that lets technique disappear into expression.
In this short segment from Sara Davis Buechner’s School of Virtuosity, you’ll explore a daily exercise that once warmed up the great pianists of the early 20th century.
Starting from a symmetrical pattern on C and E, Sara demonstrates how to expand through half-steps, whole-steps, and intervals of increasing width, always returning to relaxation. The result is a supple, balanced hand that moves effortlessly across the keyboard.
It’s a powerful reminder that virtuosity isn’t built overnight. It’s built one thoughtful stretch at a time. Watch the segment and experience how a century-old warm-up can renew your technique today!
