Sumner is a wonderful player and a smart guy. The standing up idea came from a combination of his studies in Zen and Alexander Technique. Breathing efficiently and upper carrriage position brought him to the conclusion that standing allowed him the best way to free up the breathing. Sitting down, one has to remember to roll the hips forward so not put pressure on the diaphram. That physical effort is eliminated when one is standing. I only talked to him for about 10 minutes when he came to town, but a longer discussion certainly would have been enjoyable.
