Talk:Finger substitution

Piano
This paragraph treats piano music as though each hand only plays a single note at a time, and that therefore finger substitution and legato pedaling are interchangeable. Not so! It ignores that finger substitution can't create legato chord playing in the way that legato pedaling can, and only finger substitution works in polyphonic passages that need to remain unblurred.

Piano again
Sorry, but this doesn't define finger substitution. The shorter finger may be sometimes under the longer one, but this is not what to achieve. They may also perfectly next to each other without any tension. The only aim is that two fingers share a key for a short moment. And ever tried to put the longer one under the shorter one? That doesn't make sense. The sentence implies that it could be also vice versa, but this is not the case. --2.246.39.224 (talk) 11:18, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
