    My idea: The reason we wear wedding bands on the fourth finger is that is, on its own, a weak finger, tied strongly to the third finger. The band represents the synergy of fingers working together. There is no such thing as "independent" fingers--try to "make them" independent, and you may suffer serious and permanent injury. Double notes require coordination--not a "free and independent fourth finger".

      @print-helloworld-8977 Před 10 měsíci +17

      I agree, but with coordination comes a “free” sense of the finger, as opposed to the normal boundaries we feel in regard to the fourth finger.

      I agree, they like mechanical and extraordinary things and don't absolutely care about music and feelings. But it's the same old story. Chopin once wrote to a friend: "for the bourgeois class it takes something extraordinary and, mechanical, which I don't have."

      @@speedyx3493 an etude shouldn't be considered a mechanical exercise to improve the independence of the fingers. There are so many compositions by Frederic Chopin that are considered good exercises for the fourth finger (e.g. etude op. 10 n. 2 and op. 25 n. 6) but they aren't, because Chopin was crearly against that precept. Even J.S.Bach in the prefation of inventions and sinfonias (they can be considered etudes ante litteram) wrote that the goal of the exercises is "to achieve a cantabile style of playing".

    Seriously, I really don't know why every classical music lover is stuck with the idea that a pianist should achieve the clearness and independence of every finger. I mean, the way Yunchan plays that passage is extremely difficult, but I think that all that practice is a useless waste of time, because it sounds so cold and mechanical. Do you know what Chopin wrote in his esquisses pour une methode de piano? "For a long time we have been acting against nature by training our fingers to be all equally powerful. As each finger is differently formed, it’s better not to attempt to destroy the particular charm of each one’s touch but on the contrary to develop it. Each finger’s power is determined by its shape: the thumb having the most power, being the broadest, shortest and freest; the fifth [finger] as the other extremity of the hand; the third as the middle and the pivot; then the second [illegible]. And then the fourth, the weakest one, the Siamese twin of the third, bound to it by a common ligament, and which people insist on trying to separate from the third-which is impossible, and, fortunately, unnecessary. As many different sounds as there are fingers". Well, in my opinion, Yunchan does the opposite.
