But you also don't count the key you start on. C-D would correlate to 1-2 of your example, but that doesnt mean its two whole steps. I made a comment and apparently it was removed but it went something like this:C -> D -> E -> F# -> G# -> A# -> C -> D -> E -> F# -> G# -> A# -> CThe arrows are the whole steps, there's always one more note than the number of steps.

A whole scale is 7 notesC-D-E-F#-G#-A#-Cso without counting the second C twice, 2 octave would be 13 whole steps.C-D-E-F#-G#-A#-C-D-E-F#-G#-A#-C1-2-3-4 -5 -6- 7-8-9-10-11-12-13

Then it's been editted, I remember going there a while back and it saying a 10th, I wouldn't use Wiki as a definite source, anyway.

It's possible to see different versions with slight difference, for example Liszt Hungary Capriccio 2

it doesnt say a tenth... i'll quote the article:"However, the small "webbing" connectors found between the fingers of any normal hand were practically nonexistent for Liszt. This allowed the composer to cover a much wider span of notes than the average pianist, perhaps even up to 12 whole steps"12 WHOLE steps = two octaves
