The lower the ratio, the more likely you are to be pianistically and musically talented than your higher ratio friends.
faulty_Damper's 2D:4D ratio:LH = 86/95 = 0.905RH = 87/96 = 0.906My ratio is much lower than the average male.
On the basis of other studies cited in, and debunked by, the article I cited (Putza et al) that makes you more likely to be a gay, autistic, aggressive, verbally unskilled, psychotic soccer player.
do you consider being gay/autistic bad?
I made no judgments about any of the traits listed.
You've not actually read up on them. Gay's have a more feminine hand. Autistic boys will also have a higher digit ratio. These studies have not been debunked like you assert.
do you have any videos of you playing the piano
i have read somewhere that either having a longer ring finger or a shorter one correlates with being gay... forgot which
I updated the average based on a much larger sample of Caucasians. Since there is ethnic variability with regards to 2D:4D ratio, that average ratio only applies to Caucasians and may not necessarily be generalized to other ethnicities.
Important quibble about racial invalidity. My ratio 2d:4d is 1.0 both hands. 86 mm. I have significant Native American ancestry, I look pretty odd with narrow short hands and feet, short arms and legs with a long back, hair on my head instead of my face or body, soft oily skin like Cher. I'm male. I have wild mathmatical ability with a 1:10000 SAT score (verbal and mathematical one point apart) and a had a career in engineering. I also turned out to be really interested in music, and when given some piano lessons age 8, was pretty good at it. (For Art lessons I was undistinguished and swimming lessons I was a complete failure). My Mother had enough mathematical ability, as a secretary she was a great tabular typist. She was not exposed to any algebra or geometry in school. They graduated her early to clear up the space for someone more important, there was a war going on. But at the end of her career as a secretary she transferred to computer programming, with no background mathematical training, only the specific Cobol training given by her employer. Mother was the person that found the Beethoven symphonies on the AM radio in 1934-43 by DXing, and bought the CRC classical kiddie records I enjoyed so much when I was 3 to 5. She bought the piano I learned on, but stopped taking lessons to move back to the mine with Dad. Dad was an accountant, like his Father, He had very little interest in music. I don't think his parents had a radio until after he left home. I'm a bit limited as a pianist because my hands do not fit the Russian/Prussian repretoire. JS Bach and Moussorgski could do things I can't do. But I can fake it pretty well, moving notes around sometimes to get rid of the twelths.
You've mentioned this thing about changing twelfths in many threads but you've never explained why you think mussorgsky could strike them or why you don't spread them like everyone else. What evidence is there that mussorgsky could strike twelfths? Rachmaninoff wrote some big chords that he would have been able to strike, but there's no reason to think mussorgsky was writing any differently to countless composers who wrote intervals that they could not reach. Revoicing a chord is usually a poor second to spreading it.
Lots of Russians and East Germans have huge hands. Look at the television. Moussorgski was Russian, that is why I think he could strike twelths .The Chicago Symphony under Fritz Rheiner didn't roll the chords on Pictures at an Exhibition Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle, and I don't either. I think rolling chords unless it is written that way mostly sounds bad. I do roll chords in the Great Gate of Kiev, they are written that way. I don't care what the music schools teach, they have to solicit tuition from small people with rich parents, but those students mostly don't get recordings on the radio. On the radio piano players are European or African (Andre Watts) males with huge hands with a long third finger (to see them on TV). PIAE was infamous for being "unplayable" as a piano solo anyway, not until Revel orchestrated it was it famous. What was "unplayable" about it I have no data on. Those octave tremelos in Lingua Mortua are my other biggest barrier, those are not on the LP's either, but I think they sound good and have been building strength and endurance in my right hand (forearm) over about four years to get through it.
I have wild mathmatical ability with a 1:10000 SAT score (verbal and mathematical one point apart) and a had a career in engineering.
one point apart? what u mean by 1:10000, because im pretty sure like 10% of people get full score lol
Yeah, 10% of SAT test takers getting a full score is lots of laughs. Maybe that happens in third world countries with bribeable proctors. I understand from BBC news some universities are considering re-running the test battery on new foreign students, at least the English language test.By 1:10000 I mean one out of ten thousand people; that is what I read in a newpaper article of how to interpret SAT score results. In Goldberg and Schmuyle you could play the twelth interval with either hand. The Gb in treble clef. As far as playing bass notes of long intervals as grace notes, it doesn't sound almost exactly the same to me. But then, my reaction to stimulus time is 56 milliseconds, measured with a Tek 466 memory oscilloscope and two snap switches. So what is your finger length ratio? it is an easy measurement.
