Excerpt from Piano Playing: A Little Book of Simple Suggestions
I should like to reiterate at this point two words which I used in the second paragraph: the words consciously or unconsciously. A brief comment upon this alternative may lead to observations which may throw a light upon the matter of reading between the lines, especially as I am rather strongly inclining toward the belief in the unconscious side of the alternative.
