It's not unusual for a piano piece to require huge jump almost instantly, e.g., here in Beethoven's Sonata Op 111, the left hand jumps three and a half octaves

It's not unusual for a piano piece to require huge jump almost instantly, e.g., here in Beethoven's Sonata Op 111, the left hand jumps three and a half octaves down - https://youtu.be/WGg9cE-ceso?t=423 https://youtu.be/WGg9cE-ceso?t=423
Having a row of identical keys would make such a jump virtually impossible to get right. As far as I know, string instruments (like violins) usually don't require such a wide jump - well in case of a violin, you literally don't have the distance!

- pclmulqdq 6y agoMost of the time, jumps like that are done by touch. You often need to look at something else like the music, the other hand, or the conductor.
- dehrmann 6y agoThat's a valid requirement, but having to play scales and chords differently in every key is a pretty big price for that.
