Somewhat helpful
There was some helpful info on improving right hand dexterity. NO pdf of Etude. No discussion of using pinky. He seemed to have a fancy metronome, that I’m unaware of, that you can set for triplets, etc. I will work on exercises, as well as finding the piece he used to show case these exercises.
Addendum – Victor Responded VERY Quickly! He sent me pdfs of Etude. He also provided additional info – pinky not used much in classical music and his metronome is called “pro metronome.” THANKS VERY MUCH Victor!!!
