July 6, 200817 yr A 12th but with hitting unwanted nearby notes, does that count? If not, an 11th easily.
July 8, 200817 yr I'm 6'3"....I have some reach but...usually music written for wide stretches is too hard for me...
July 13, 200817 yr I have small hands - an octave is all I can do easily, I can get a ninth without a huge effort, and a tenth if I have ten seconds to rearrange my hands...Strangely, not many composers write ten second rests.
July 13, 200817 yr I can only reach a ninth on both hands. I'm only 14!! *throws party* :whistling: lol im only being a jerk. good job (your achievement). maybe you will get rachmaninoff hands...when you are 15?!?!?!?!
July 13, 200817 yr A 9th is as far as I can go on the piano, and that's pretty much a stretch for me (I have small hands). Octaves are the most reasonable stretch I can go without compromising my performance. If I have to go farther than 9ths. I have to break the notes apart, kinda like detached octaves. At least Jon's hands will get bigger in time. I'm an adult so my hand span is pretty much fixed.
July 14, 200817 yr Can I nominate this thread for the "most boring thread ever" award? (By the way, 10th comfortably, 11th uncomfortably. Like....everyone else.)
July 14, 200817 yr Can I nominate this thread for the "most boring thread ever" award?(By the way, 10th comfortably, 11th uncomfortably. Like....everyone else.) I second the motion. Motion passes for parliamentary vote, all in favor...?
July 14, 200817 yr Aye... yi yi yi yi yi.... The aye's have it. It's official: "MOST BORING THREAD EVER"
July 15, 200817 yr lets talk about cheese, and our experiences of eating it whilst it was 'off'. I once composed a piece written entirely with spray cheese and wax paper. It was orchestrated for mouse choir and angry cat...it had one premiere...tragically.
July 16, 200817 yr I can play an octave and a third fairly comfortably, an octave and a fourth at a stretch.
July 16, 200817 yr I can play an octave and a third fairly comfortably, an octave and a fourth at a stretch. I'm sorry, I think you misunderstood that we're now talking about cheese. The good, the bad, and the stinky.
July 16, 200817 yr i like blue vein cheese. i microwaved it on something once...and disliked it immensly! i spelt that wrong, im sure.
July 16, 200817 yr Blue vein cheese is good. Though I prefer Kefalograviera more at this point in time....although it doesn't smell too flash hot when you forget to put it back in the fridge and find it a few days later
July 16, 200817 yr sometimes I wish my hands reached far enough to wrap them around someone's neck and choke really hard.... alas, 'tis the internet.
August 11, 200817 yr *throws party* :whistling: lol im only being a jerk. good job (your achievement). maybe you will get rachmaninoff hands...when you are 15?!?!?!?! I can now reach a 10th comfortably, an 11th stretching
August 11, 200817 yr I might be able to hit an octave... but I make no bones about my crappines... on a bass guit I've got maybe a 6-fret range, with bad intonation
