Yeah, every time I hear stories of those "great pianists with small hands".
Somehow those "small hands" always translate to "can comfortably reach 10ths or 11ths or more" and not octave at most.
Which just drives home the point of how gigantic hands are taken as a reference point.
And those supposed "greats" that do have smallish hands aren't all that great and have a severely limited pokey repertoire.
- TheOtherHobbes 6y agoIf you can comfortably reach 10ths you do not have small hands. I have the opposite problem. I have thick sausage fingers and they don't fit easily between the black notes. This isn't a show stopper, but it's certainly a handicap compared to someone who has much thinner fingers.
