As a scholar, his most important studies are: Tone Moves: A History of Piano Technique (2019),[4] a revised English version of his Historia de la técnica pianística (2001)[5] (+250 cites on Google Scholar[6]), where he introduces the new term Ur-Technik (21 cites on Google Scholar[7]) as corporal correspondent to Ur-Text, and his thesis Beethoven al piano: Improvisación, composición e investigación sonora en sus ejercicios técnicos (2010) [8] (30 cites on Google Scholar[9]), where he argued that Beethoven might not have been who composed the Füre Elise.[10][11]
