Transcript from 2:45 (near the end of demonstration):

 

"The slowing into the key is so minute that it does not effect the speed. Speed is how you move quickly from note to note. The speed of the key has no bearing on the overall speed. It is a tiny difference between doing this... and doing this... the key's distance from where it starts to the bottom is very very small...so don't get stuck on the word slow... it's slower than this... but the slowing of it is so little that you can do anything, you can sing ... you can go very slow into the key for soft, it's a little bit less weight, and still go quickly, so it has no bearing the slowing down of... It's two distinct directions."

Very good advice, and good teaching with clear, down-to-earth explanations.

 

Side note: I'm more and more glad to have adopted Gyorgy Sandor's technique 29 years ago; other than having demonstrated its validity over the years, I keep seeing that modern piano teaching is going more and more in that direction. The basic principles are absolutely the same ones that Ms. Goldansky illustrates on these videos.
