The link to the livestream above goes to a tonebase "bloopers" page
, which is kinda cool actually. I think this is intended link.I am curious if pro pianists do hand exercises if they are going to be away from the piano for an extended period of time to keep the fingers "in shape" or are there other physical exercises recommended in general to help with technique that don't involve a piano.

Not sure if I can make it on time today, so I post a question here:
Do you ever get the feeling of not having prepared enough? How can preparing away from the piano help with this.
Are preparation away from the piano also a part of your routine when you are not «on the road»?

Last performance had heartrate of 145 bpm when starting. Any tips on how to reduce this to a more managable level for a 68 year old?
