The History of the Development of Piano Technique (links)

If you have time, read the whole article. If not, just read the third paragraph, but remember that it is about the technique to play music for instruments before the era of the piano and for the pianos at its infancy, which were much different from their modern relatives.

"Sometimes even a coin was put on the back of the hand during training in order to prevent the arm’s participation."

Another article also talks about the development of the piano techniques.

The newer trend was started since Chopin and Liszt, who were figures of the early 19th C. We are in the 21st C. Amazing, how tradition works and how people worship authorities.
