Where did you find that Liszt could reach a 13th ? In Harold C. Schonberg's book "The Great Pianists" we find descriptions of Liszt's hands by contemporaries, and in particular by one of his pupils, Carl Lachmund, who indicates that Liszt could reached just a tenth : When Liszt played the slow movement of Beethoven's Hammerklavier he quotes : " At the last chord, which is reiterated four times slowly, I was watching his hands, which he usually held in unconventional disregard of rules. It struck me that he could barely cover the tenth in each hand sufficiently to play the chord quietly, without breaking it." Moreover he quotes Liszt as saying, "The public credits me with having a very large hand, but you see I can just stretch this tenth to play it quietly".
@@josephinelauren4608 I am a supporter of PASK. If you have small hands, just get a smaller keyboard :) No need to think of all kinds of compromises and still play with pain.
My handspan is about 10.2 to 10.3 inches so I'm just short of being able to play a 13th. If I hold the upper note with my right pinky, press down the lower note with my left hand and then switch to my right thumb I can hold down a 13th though, but I guess that doesn’t count. There is an australian study on handspans in pianists, where they measured the hands of around 500 pianists from both genders and there were four people with even larger hands, the biggest handspan being 10.8 inches. That person should be able to play a 13th rather comfortably. Robert Wadlow, the tallest person to ever live, had a hand length of 12.75 inches. We don’t know his hand span, but considering that the average male hand length is 7.6 inches and the average span 8.9 inches we can estimate Wadlow's hand span at about 14.9 inches if we assume that the ratio is the same in his case. This would mean that he could have (barely) reached an 18th and at the very least could have very easily spanned 2 octaves. Assuming the size of his fingers allowed for pressing down individual keys.
Great video. I can reach at 10th! My dad has really giant hands, but mine are not so big. My Dad grew up on a farm, and I think his hands became really large and developed from working on the farm from a very early age. He loves to play the piano, and I will ask him how far he can reach.
Well there are more important things than just the hand span. For example my pianist friend can reach an 11th and i can reach a 10th. However, we were both playing the same piece and in the beginning there was a weird chord. E-B-G and i was able to play it but he had to scretch his fingers a lot.
I can reach a 13th, I do need to press it down first with my other hand so I don't know if it counts. I can play a 12th pretty well, I can even press the two notes down at the same time, and a 10th I can play with my hand on top of the piano with a pretty normal and comfortable hand position. I am still 17 though, so with luck my hand'll grow a bit more so I can actually play the 13th (and maybe even keep a 14th pressed down) Edit: from tip to tip of pinkie and thumb my hand is 27 cm (10.6 inches)
Really interesting, do you by any chance know how big it was at 14, rn my pb is a 12th and i really would love to know what i will be abble to play when im in my twenties
a fact I found out about Rachmaninov is that he was 6’6” and was believed to have hand span of an incredible 12” a colleague of his Cyril Smith once saw him take the mammoth cord of C-E flat-G-C-G with his left hand and the size of his hands were caused by Marfan’s syndrome. I’m 6’4” with an over 9” handspan and can reach a twelfth
I was wondering, does it all really matter? I can hit a tenth, but that stretch is both uncomfortable and painful. Besides, that tenth comes out just barely - reaching an interval doesn't mean much if the sound is subpar.
I just tried this and I was able to reach 12th key then I measured on a growth chart and said 10 inch I kinda turned my hand a bit so it was going straight up and down good video thumbs up. I bet Kawhi Leonard could I think his hand span is 11.25
I'm just a 5'5 male but my handspan in my left hand is approximately 9.8 inches but but my right is only 8.9.I'm not yet a pianist actually but I'm planning.
@@yannaischrire7327 several things: try to play big chords and make them bigger if you think you can, stretching your hand every now and then, train the muscles in your hands. But the playing of big chords is most important.

I'm as tall as Beethoven and can do a tenth. It looks like the image at 1:20 of the 11th where I'm barely touching the corners but I can do it fairly clean and I'm getting better so I'm happy. For a while I could only do up to a 9th
I can do 11th easily, and 12th if i pull down one note with the other hand and then put my thumb or pinky on it on the left and unassisted on the right. My handspan is 10 inches. (25,5 cm)
I can comfortably reach an 11, and get a 12 if I stretch... interestingly I can do both between my thumb and ring fingers easier than thumb and pinkie because I have absurdly short pinkies relative to my other fingers.
Can hit a 10th comfortably and have done consistent 11ths if I practice the keys (can’t always jump into them w/o muscle memory/thinking about it, so no 11th in my improvs) can’t tell if this means I got baby hands or just normal ones lol cause I know they ain’t big

I think that a lot of people responding to this survey either does not understand basic music theory, or just outright lied. I mean, 31% of people can reach a 12th? That’s a C to a G...
I am currently 15, about 6’1, and can do a whole scale in 11ths with ease and a 12th with a bit of stretching. I hope to someday be able to reach as far as Rachmaninoff but I think my expectations are reaching a bit too high 😅

That chord sounds really good in some situations, but it is very big. I don't think I will ever be able to reach that lol :)
My handspan is just 9.4 inches.I would love to reach 12 tho.My height definitely affected my handspan,Because I'm just 5'4 and a half.Can reach 11 interval only.I'm just a beginner...

Managed a 12th, freakishly big hands paired with broken thumbs that grow outwards gave me an edge. I can managed 13/14 on a normal 5 octave Yamaha keyboard. My hands are still growing to my knowledge, any more and I think it’s gonna cause problems. Worth it for being 6’4 at 17 tho lol
Most certainly not because you aren’t one of the only ones who can reach a 13th, I mean just look at Micheal Jordan’s hands, he has the average hand span for a 7’1 person

That chord sounds really good in some situations, but it is very big. I don't think I will ever be able to reach that lol :)
I can do C to F no problem but D to G# is a bit of a stretch, might end up playing an E on accident lol @@theragtimevirtuoso8534
My hands are 24 cm long, I really should start playing the piano😂
I can reach a 12th! And I'm a female! Wow, I've goit big hands!!
My handspan is just 9.4 inches.I would love to reach 12 tho.My height definitely affected my handspan,Because I'm just 5'4 and a half.Can reach 11 interval only.I'm just a beginner...
Man I envy you :(( Like I mean did you stretch to get that 11th? Or you were already able to do that 11th with no problems??
I can also reach 12th but its a little pain for me
Boban’s hands can get a 15 probably ahahaha
Is a 10th good for a 12 y/o
Me: one octave
can you do a tutorial of how to play Tokio Myers Bloodstream, it was the background music for this video
Nathan Pope umm the background music was Clair de lune and nocturne in eb major
oh
bloodstream sounds the same
Nathan Pope ok I will work on a tutorial for it, in the meantime if you wanted to learn it look up Clair de lune tutorial amosdoll and a good tutorial will come up
I can only get to max 10 left hand and 9 right hand :(
I’m thirteen and can reach to the ninth, I’ll have to see where this goes
No need to hope your hands grow. A narrow keyboard suffices.
Managed a 12th, freakishly big hands paired with broken thumbs that grow outwards gave me an edge. I can managed 13/14 on a normal 5 octave Yamaha keyboard. My hands are still growing to my knowledge, any more and I think it’s gonna cause problems. Worth it for being 6’4 at 17 tho lol
Ian Balls stop flexing
im so close to reach 13 if i do ny name would be with liszt and rachminoff???
Most certainly not because you aren’t one of the only ones who can reach a 13th, I mean just look at Micheal Jordan’s hands, he has the average hand span for a 7’1 person
I can reach a 12th barely
