On the contrary, the preparation for the precise movements in performing music involves detailed conscious thought about movement. When I am practicing I am consciously applying principles and solving problems in physics such as conservation of momentum, distribution of forces, and lengths and angles of of compund levers. Knowing those principles of physics has helped make my learning of the movements more efficient. That all of this eventually becomes unconscious (or at least out of present awareness) through practice in no way negates the importance of physics.
