It's possible to see different versions with slight difference, for example Liszt Hungary Capriccio 2

it doesnt say a tenth... i'll quote the article:"However, the small "webbing" connectors found between the fingers of any normal hand were practically nonexistent for Liszt. This allowed the composer to cover a much wider span of notes than the average pianist, perhaps even up to 12 whole steps"12 WHOLE steps = two octaves

Wiki says a 10th. :/Not as big as Rachmaninoff's, though.

actually, never mind, i just looked at it again and realized i was comparing different parts of the piece. whoops. ^^

UnProdigii (July 30, 2008 at 9:49 pm)

i was scanning my sheet music for this piece, and i noticed that the beginning cadenza after the arpeggios in my book only have one octave, not two...as in both hands play one note each to create one pair of octaves, not both hands play octaves for a total of two pairs.is this because of different versions? does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

UnProdigii (July 30, 2008 at 9:47 pm)

that makes sense...my hands can barely reach a ninth [one note over an octave]. Two words: bad genes. XD
