Recently, hand problems in musicians have been recognised as systematic events. Numerous papers and statistics have been published (see Chapter IV); even, a journal exclusively devoted to such and similar problems in performing artists exists!. The present thesis defends the hypothesis that many hand complaints, such as focal dystonia, are caused by non-pathological anatomical variations in the hand. It is good habit to introduce such thesis by profiling it against the historic and current state of affairs. Instead, however, I would like to present an account of the events which led to this thesis, which is, to a degree, an autobiography.
