I would say that anything under 9th is small…I can reach an 10ths comfortably with my left hand and I still have to roll tenths in the Liszt to play it at tempo
Also because the e to g sharp interval is pretty much an 11th
Overall I much prefer the thirds, guess that makes me a pussy too
Daim! Dats big!
Da 10 tenth is not great n ma hand is not comfortable on da Scriabin Op 65 No 1 (major ninths Etude)
Supposedly 
could stretch da last chord of da zchoe tocc. Is there proof?
Or even a pic of his span.
Is there a pic of 
span?
I was about to look but holy jesus 
I’d love to know Pogo’s span as well, In videos it looks like he can do a 22 no probs!
Here’s the proof!
Also this is what it would’ve looked like:
Apparently Rachmaninov could stretch a 13th so imagine that chord going to the A…
It’s funny cause Scriabin could only reach an octave or so but he has these huge intervals in all of his pieces
Of course he also injured his right hand on DJ so maybe he just stopped caring
Many of those LH intervals were always meant to be rolled, he just does not mark it in
Tru
To me it looks like Scriabin has a rule where any chord larger than 2 octaves, rolling will be indicated with tied grace notes
For smaller chords he doesn’t bother
And iirc I don’t think Schumann indicated a single arpeggio sign in his life, not even for his monster 15th intervals. Not his problem to deal with so he let other people figure it out I guess.
Hilariously da Rach’s writing is not too stretchy. Aside from a few transcriptions like da Liebeslied
For Liszt there is also this awful part in his 7th Symphony transcription:
No bueno
Not even that stretchy but the polyrhythms and voicing in a single hand…
Pozz sum notes can be taken into da right
Liebeslied is only 10ths, and then perfectly suited to spread.
Da worst offender is da Franck. Bloody organ writing minus da feet. Da violin zon is a cock to figure out how to break all those ridiculous chords effectively. (Amazing zong though)
There’s a Mozkowski version of this but i dun know exactly what he did. Pozz zimplified zlightly or rearranged?
Franck and Ives have killer piano writing in their violin sonatas
Hahah wut about da change in key width ova tym 
I zuzpect da PIMP cud pozz only do a 9th on modern 88 
No, I guess he could play 10ths on a modern grand, too
There’s an anecdote, I believe from when he was already pretty old (so when key size was already similar to our grands), that he admitted to a pupil that he could just play the final chords of the slow mvmt. of the Hammerklavier without breaking them.
Alzo, the whole 2nd section of da 6th hung rappah in 10ths.
Tru, although Ives at least says you can use a piece of wood.
Just realised that’s where igudesman and joo stole their bit from.
