Rudiments of Arrau's Technical Approach: Demonstration
"Piano Lessons with Claudio Arrau", by Victoria A. von Arx
A demonstration of the basic arm weight techniques used by Claudio Arrau, as taught by Victoria A. von Arx, who wrote a book on it based on firsthand accounts from Arrau's students, and several audio recordings of his lessons.
This is a video that goes with the book. I've put it here since it's only available as a Flash video on their website, and also to preserve it long after their website goes down (which it will!) This is a brief demonstration of the basic piano techniques employed by Claudio Arrau.

Description of the book:
This in-depth study of Arrau's principles and philosophy of technique and performance draws on information from published interviews with Arrau, from numerous interviews with Arrau's pupils, and from the author's experience in studying piano with two of them. Transcripts of actual lessons given by Arrau and preserved on tape present in his own words a detailed account of his technical and interpretive ideas about five major works of the piano repertory. References to over one hundred examples from Arrau's filmed recordings enable readers to observe the elements of Arrau's famed technique in action.
