Musicians lack objective information regarding how best to train and utilize their bodies in performance. Piano performance makes extreme demands of the upper body, especially the small muscles and nerves required for fine coordination. Many pianists sustain injuries. These injuries are often so subtle that physicians cannot satisfactorily diagnose and treat musician's ailments. Among musicians, female pianists report the highest number of occupational injuries.

520 $a Musicians lack objective information regarding how best to train and utilize their bodies in performance. Piano performance makes extreme demands of the upper body, especially the small muscles and nerves required for fine coordination. Many pianists sustain injuries. These injuries are often so subtle that physicians cannot satisfactorily diagnose and treat musician's ailments. Among musicians, female pianists report the highest number of occupational injuries.
520 $a The first goal of this dissertation is to explain why the female is more prone to pianistic injuries. It examines the playing apparatus of the female and identifies those aspects which make her more susceptible to injury, and isolates examples of related technical passagework.
520 $a The second goal of this dissertation is to present strategies for dealing with these injury susceptibilities. It presents statistics of gendered strengths and weaknesses that influence piano playing. This discussion outlines approaches of female pedagogues that directly help to avoid injuries.
520 $a As a third goal, this dissertation examines a variety of repertoire, in terms of the specific demands made on the female pianist, so that she may better plan and prepare her recital programs. It reveals some recent repertoire written specifically for women.
520 $a The final goal of this dissertation is to discuss some of the practical issues faced by the female pianist as she tries to establish a career. While gathered statistics offer evidence that females make up a greater number of today's pianists and piano teachers, the percentage of females who are internationally recognized is perhaps growing smaller.
