The blood isn't because the piece is so hard. The pianist who was representing Japan has a condition where if she presses too hard on it, it bleeds. She has been playing since she was four and it's normal for her. She doesn't even say that it hurts. - @Marcy4191 (A commenter from another video regarding this topic)

[@handleisntfkinavailable]

the person who left those blood was actually rui urayama, a pianist performing at a competition. she has a condition where her left pinky bleeds "if she hits the keyboard too hard" and she says "it isnt the first time", having also bled during practices prior to the taking of this photo. so this piece doesnt really make peoples fingers bleed, only some. as for schiff's quote, i think he only meant it metaphorically when he says its a "finger breaking piece". all in all, this piece is a hard piece to perform but u do not have to worry about bleeding fingers

My highschool choir teacher was very good at piano, he loved playing, and he told us a story one time that he played a piece for a choir competition for his students and cut his hand open while playing and bled all over the piano. He got his cut cauterized on sight and they had to change the piano. But he has to play the same piece a while later and cut one his wound again and they cauterized it on sight again and told him wasn't allowed to play again that day, but luckily that was his last performance of the day. They had to change out two pianos because he bled all over them for like 2 minutes straight each.

the person who bled over the piano didnt bleed because of the difficulty, yes bartok's 2nd piano concerto is hard. But the reason behind the blood on the piano is because the pianist has a condition that makes it easier for her to bleed.

[@jakebaker4066]

Anyone with the ability of logical reasoning would understand that a flat blunt surface like piano keys so not cut your fingers and the velocity you’d have to hit keys to tear skin is well beyond anything a piano player would ever try to do. Their fingers are priceless to them.
