Much like a virtuoso pianist really. Tension is the number one enemy for a pianist. It leads to injuries and more importantly, bad music. This is a nice video

This is a nice video of some elite level relaxed hands: https://youtu.be/Ray6knVCsp8?t=115 https://youtu.be/Ray6knVCsp8?t=115
- jacobmartin 5y agoI am a pianist and have spent years trying to eliminate tension. It's a lifelong effort! But so worth it. I recently saw a video of a concerto by cellist Bruno Philippe and was astonished to see how loosely he appeared to be holding the bow. It almost appeared that it would slip at any moment. Yet he was in total control and his tone was perfect!
