The Physical Basis of Music - E.T. Jaynes (1922- 1998)- http://bayes.wustl.edu/etj/music.html
E.T. Jaynes was a physicist and theorist. He was Associate Professor at Stanford University from 1950 -1960. In 1960 he moved to Washington University in St. Louis where he spent much of his time researching quantum electrodynamics. He was also a leader in the field of statistical mechanics. Fortunately for us pianists, as a child he was exposed to the tradition of classical music and studied piano. This eventually resulted in a book entitled, The Physical Basis of Music (unpublished, 1994).
This whole treatise if very interesting, but in particular Chapter 6 is definately worth reading. Here Jaynes gives a worthwhile critique of The Riddle of the Pianist's Finger by Arnold Schultz (New York: Carl Fischer, Inc., 1936; reissued, 1949).
Orpheus wounded: The experience of pain in the professional worlds of the piano
http://www.springerlink.com/content/u28114572012r882/
Conclusions: None of the three worlds within the field of professional piano playing has adequately confronted the problem of pain, partly because its causes and treatment could be easily assigned to another world. The medical world could blame pain on misuse; the virtuoso world on lack of genius or hard work; the pedagogical world on bad teaching or lack of talent.
