Piano: Hand Combination, Span

Click the video to play and pause, or use the spacebar. Mouse over the score and click to choose matching video and commentary.

Combining the hands into one single-line texture insures maximum brilliance and clarity; it helps if the individual patterns are not complicated and the hands can stay out of each other's way. One common approach is to assign white-notes to one hand and black notes to the other.
