Glad it helps. Claudio Arrau thought of the fingers as “dead” with all the piano playing happening using larger muscles. It is a struggle to internalise this concept in some Chopin etudes (op 10, no 2 especially) but it almost immediately helps in others (op 25, no 1).



Interesting, I've read similar things about calligraphy/writing (from the elbow!), hadn't connected it to piano playing.
