Do some famous pianists have...
on: November 30, 2006, 06:17:00 AM
Greetings.

I was just wondering, partly because of curiosity arising from previous posts relating with such matter, and partly because of sheer curiosity, does any famous pianist possess clynodactyly, an incurving of the fifth finger towards the fourth? Please feel free to provide any information that you might know in relation to this matter, whether from a picture or personal experience, etc.

Is it me or does Mark Andre Hamelin's fifth finger curve a bit? Have a look on his photo and enlarge the picture at where the fifth finger is located. The picture is of himself with crossed hands.
