Phil Tompkins stated that he had dyskinesia when concentrating on notes
while playing the piano.

I guess everyone is different, but I am reminded of a female artist who
could "paint" without problem but had tremors at other times.

As a piano teacher, I am wondering if playing pieces you know well, the
kind you don't have to really concentrate on any more--maybe something
at a moderate tempo (which is easier than slow or fast) might give a
different result.  If you try this, please let us know.
