So could this multiple fingers business be a case of misdirected instincts, to go beyond what is actually necessary?ĭigital Pianos - Electronic Pianos - Synths &a. I reckon Kyle Landry is not among those, but he stated he's been playing the piano hours per day ever since he was a child for 10 years, and that he just follows his instincts for fingerings and such. I'm stumped at this point.įedorova is not the only one I've seen doing this, I've noticed this behavior on several professional classical pianists. "It's an intense passage, certainly this must be done to allow for a stronger quality to the sound", I thought.īut then she does it again with the A# and G# at 4:32 (three and two fingers respectively) in a pretty soft passage. Then Fedorova hits a G# in the bass with no less than three fingers at 4:04. Since Kyle Landry takes his hand off from all the notes after he uses the multiple fingers, it was clearly not done to facilitate playing the next keys. This is an entirely different case than for example Anna Fedorova's switching her 4th finger with the 3rd finger on the A# at 3:10 :, which I believe was done so she could more easily reach the D# further down with her 5th finger. And often you can notice they play it with one finger first and then just rest the other fingers on top of the same key, which means those extra fingers aren't actually doing anything useful! Watch at 2:03 how famous Youtube pianist Kyle Landry presses the F# with the 4th finger and then rests the 5th finger on top of it for no apparent reason:, and at 2:08 he presses the same F# with his 3rd finger and rests the 4th and 5th on it after the key is already fully depressed. At first I thought it was to give their fortissimo more strength than would be possible with one finger, but they seem to do it even when they play softer dynamics. What I mean is that I've often noticed how world-class pianists will sometimes use three or even four fingers at the same time to press a single key, usually a black one. Damn, I wish post titles could be longer.
