More important than my height, is how
pure is my character?
The truest insights into a person's
character are two things:
1. How he treats people who cannot help him.
2. How he treats those who cannot
fight back.

I can take 11 keys and Im not sure how tall I am
Once during a concert at Carnegie Hall, the violinist Rachmaninoff was playing with lost his place in the music and whispered to Rachmaninoff, "Where are we?" Rachmaninoff replied, in all seriousness, "Carnegie Hall".

WOW!Rach.... just wow! Well I'm guessing you A) are pretty tall and have normally proportioned hands (B) have huge hands compared to your short body (kinda like that dude in that episode of the simpsons who has a whole speech on his hand) or (C) can dislocate a finger on demand

But you still haven't told us your height. You coudl also be only four feet tall with massive hands..... This image of tiny people with big hands is creeping me out.

I can do C-E (octave+M3rd), but can't do Bb-D (octave+M3rd). What gives?
I have some music I'd like to write that includes things like C(-1)-C0-G2-E3 (octave+double_octave_5th+M6th) in the left hand and C5-E5-G5-G7-C8-E8-G8-G9 (Cmaj_chord,another 2 octaves higher,octave) in the right hand. Any suggestions?
