That is the essence of this book.. The ultimate use of having complete control is to be able to play any musical idea one reads, hears, or imagines.In my experience as a musician and an instructor, speed/control is achieved by first going the other way. Playing a piece of music at a slower tempo allows you to process your understanding of the music in a relaxed frame of mind, and to incorporate the necessary coordination motions in a fluid manner. Speed is a by-product of control. Emphasis here is on control at all tempos, and the accompanying audio tracks make a perfect model to practice against.From The Introduction:We work daily to improve our technique, in order to be free of it. In the long run, we really aren’t after speed, we are after control. Following that, the next step is to play the music in incremental steps, a little faster each time
