Mark, has a point, there is some kind of hand memory. Not going deep here, just think of how many movements your hand makes during the day – that you give no thought to.

Hi,
Interesting about memory.
Haven’t played piano in roughly 20 years ( not till my p121 a couple of months back (Thank you Dave) . Gave up on it totally after I had sell mine ( no space after downsizing). Didn’t really do much keyboard playing either, all my time over the years was spent on style converting, studying functions etc.
Anyway, got my little piano, sat down, totally stunned myself, I remembered how to play a few of my favourite old tunes. Not necessarily all the way thru, and not very well, but there was still something there.
I certainly don’t play by ear, I’ve always had to read anything I played.
