im not sure there is a specific handspan, just a fairly big hand and good technique
Hardly any span is required to play this at all, there should be no stretching or snatching, the hand should move from the forearm. The most important thing is a very supple wrist
Ian Hobson did a seminar at my school and proposed this alternate fingering which may work:3 1 2 4 2 1 2 4 2 1 2 4 2
I've seen short girls with small hands play this etude convincingly.
what is the aim of the study?
