ALL THUMBS e-book

Another fascinating piano technique book from Alan Fraser

All Thumbs is the third of Alan Fraser's books on piano technique, following The Craft of Piano Playing and Honing the Pianistic Self-Image. Never before has the thumb, one of the most misunderstood and neglected parts of the pianist's hand, received such a complete makeover. Fraser fleshes out its role and provides a brilliant series of exercises to bring its full potential to bear on your piano technique.

Fraser shows how empowering the thumb leads to a similar empowerment of all the fingers, the hand, and the entire piano playing mechanism. He also addresses arm weight technique in more detail than ever before, with a discriminating evaluation of its potential pitfalls as well as a paean to the glories of its best incarnations.
