Music is actually supposed to be beneficial in helping PWP move more naturally. I am happy to hear of your experience! I would hate to have to give up such a talent. Wendy Siegel -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network ... Suddenly, today, I sat down and went through one of my old (two-handed) favourites, a Schumann romance. Technically not too demanding, except that it requires quite precise dynamic control in both hands to play it well. Needless to say, I didn't play it well -- quite apart from the PD, I'm months and months out of practice. But it went better than I'd have thought. With a bit of work, it will likely come right. What a shock: I don't have to give this up if I don't want to! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
