January 9. A few days ago, I asked on Reddit how much looking at your hands is allowed when playing the piano. It is stunning that I phrased the question in this moralizing way, even though I asked it in English. After all, I’m only concerned with how to get where I want to go, whereas if I get where I want to go, it might turn out to be quite different than I thought, and I might want to go somewhere else.
