I wonder what it feels like to have hands like those … They seem to act of their own volition, the woman to whom they’re attached more a chauffeur who takes them to pianos. And at times, they seemed to go from being two cooperative but independent creatures to one ten-fingered hand. Wowsa.
And how does one write such music? I can almost get that with practice one could play such running rivers of notes, but how does one imagine them and set them down on paper … ?
With a great deal of practice, one can get all the notes right; but without the gift, one cannot make them sound like this.

Impressive and enjoyable, both. I mean all three. The second ballerina — where did that energy (to overcome friction) come from? Does more energy come into the system when she goes down and back up? It seemed like she could have continued indefinitely.
Amazing gals. I particularly liked the ballet one.
