Tenths
There are 12 comments, leave a comment.
and who cares. striking major tenths is not necessary to being a musician. it's about the music.
uh.......i dunno what musical planet you live on. on mine, this is essential.
...but only when he wanted to. there are left hand 11ths in transcriptions of his music.
i'm guessing some women jazz pianists would have had smallish spans.

didn't it used to be that pianos had smaller keys? i suppose that if the keyboard were smaller, some pianists would have fingers that were too thick for playing. has anyone heard of pianos with non-standard key size?
it doesn't matter how you finger it. it's not a sport. you don't get points.
it was never necessary for me to strike 10ths to play the classical repertoire, for example. it all depends on what you want to play. if you want to be a great stride player, it's necessary. but that's not the same thing as being a musician. there are all kinds of different ways to be a musician. how bizarre of you, dalty.
