Intertwined with the arm and hand movement is the undulating or flexible wrist. My elbows with their curvaceous movements, in particular, have wide a wide range of motion.
When I rotate my arms in the course of playing this work, I feel like I’m swinging them toward and away from my body. If the wrist, hand, and arm don’t work in unity to execute the bass figure which permeates the whole composition, then the player will quickly tire and the tone will become inhibited. These broken chords which fill a large space by their expansion, create a Romantic underpinning for the molto cantabile heart-rending melody in the treble.

Chopin’s Bb minor Nocturne (Night Piece) requires a player to use a full arm rotation to fluidly play the arpeggios in the left hand that span over an octave.
