Ideal hands for a virtuoso.

I wish I had the same hands as Godfrey Hill.
With those hands he seems to be born to be a pianovirtuoso

His other hand looks just the same.
Any thoughts about what you could do if you had his hands?

No, I think the wolfman would be better suited for piano than the guy with 6 fingers..

It would be a curse to have 12 fingers. He would work all his life to be a great pianist and then people would always say to him "Of course you're great, you have 12 fingers!". Him: "

Imagine yourself with 12 fingers.
You should be able to play even singlenote runs that would be impossible with just ten fingers.
