Ok so let me know if this works

Listen through it all

Basket Cat · October 20, 2021 18:57:31

:D

Basket Cat · October 20, 2021 18:58:02

Is that you playing?

SpecterTheGreat · October 20, 2021 18:59:26

Yep! Sorry for the audio quality lol and it's not perfect xD

I played the second half of that audio to annoy my brother lol
Did you like the second part >:3

SpecterTheGreat · October 20, 2021 19:01:28

I couldn't go any faster than that (my fingers got tired lol) so it ended there xD but if I had kept a level tempo with the repeats then I can play for more than ten minutes no kidding

Basket Cat · October 21, 2021 08:13:43

The second part sounded the same to me

Or maybe I just missed something

Either way I really like your playing and was very impressed xD it's much cleaner than my playing. I can play fast, and I can play harder pieces, but I can never play them correctly or cleanly lol

Basket Cat · October 21, 2021 08:14:03

I mean I think they're harder pieces but idk

Basket Cat · October 21, 2021 09:03:30

I JUST ACCIDENTALLY CHANGED THE KEY TO D MINOR AND I THINK I'VE HAD AN ENLIGHTENMENT

SpecterTheGreat · October 21, 2021 09:11:37

Playing cleanly is kinda hard sometimes lol.
Lol well "American Patrol" is a pretty easy piece imo, and I learned in key of C but I think it's originally in another key?
Hmmm are you sure the second part sounded okay? Didn't you notice something about the part that got faster and faster?

Would you like to hear more of my piano playing lol
I can sing for you too if you want

:0

Basket Cat · October 21, 2021 09:19:03

I noticed it got faster, but still sounded pretty good to me. I think your mic was too far away from the piano so I had to turn the volume up a lot just to hear it decently tho.

Yes I want to hear more of your piano playing

SpecterTheGreat · October 21, 2021 09:21:13

I'm not sure what's the hardest piece I can play. I'd say "Claire de Lune" just because of all the hand stretching, buuuuuuut I only learned half of it and since I couldn't practice it for a while I forgot how to play it lol.
Maybe the Marcia Turca is the hardest one I can play in full. I get too passionate and play it all in forte though xD
Two other pieces I want to learn are Rêverie and Rondo alla Turca.

So what I actually did was I got a part that looped cleanly and I looped it faster and faster until I couldn't go any faster lol and then I smashed they keys kinda

The other day my brother was reading while I played piano and I looped that part twice just to annoy him xD

SpecterTheGreat · October 21, 2021 09:23:58

Btw please don't smash your piano keys lol

SpecterTheGreat · October 21, 2021 09:37:38

I'm looking through the piano recordings I've made in Vocaroo but tbh the site really butchers the quality.
I think I'm going to try recording as a video with no image instead lol.
Meanwhile you can listen to this again

I'm really surprised at how clean the sound is here tbh. The hardest part is the jumps on the left hand while I'm playing with the right because it's so easy to miss a key and produce a discordant noise xD. Chords are only nice when you hit the correct keys lol.

Basket Cat · October 21, 2021 09:59:20

"Chords only sound nice when you hit the correct keys" ~Specter 2021

SpecterTheGreat · October 21, 2021 10:25:16

I mean I'm not wrong xD

Basket Cat · October 21, 2021 12:37:44

No, you're not

SpecterTheGreat · October 21, 2021 13:06:49

Have you seen this one yet https://youtu.be/RTmzvghbFK4

Basket Cat · October 21, 2021 13:31:44

That animation is SMOOTH THO

Basket Cat · October 22, 2021 08:42:02

Ok but Lullaby looks so much more complicated when you're looking at an orchestral score

SpecterTheGreat · October 22, 2021 09:12:17

I kinda wanna see the score lol

Basket Cat · October 22, 2021 09:19:10

I'll try to show you give me a bit

Basket Cat · October 22, 2021 09:19:48

I am very afraid that my orchestra director will ask if I want to conduct my piece

SpecterTheGreat · October 22, 2021 09:22:41

I read your post.
Maybe you should say that you're more confident playing?

SpecterTheGreat · October 22, 2021 09:22:53

Btw did you see my video lol

Basket Cat · October 22, 2021 09:24:17

Yeah that's true

Then she'll be like "do you want to play the solo then"

I be like

"No I wrote the solo so our soloist could solo"

Because I arranged the piece to work with our orchestra specifically because I know our abilities

what video

SpecterTheGreat · October 22, 2021 09:35:35

You should probs tell her that!

Basket Cat · October 22, 2021 09:38:38

Yeah

Either that or she just won't ask and I'll still play in the orchestra!

SpecterTheGreat · October 22, 2021 09:39:22

Let's hope the second option happens :D

Basket Cat · October 22, 2021 09:42:45

I need to add some dynamics but after that I'll try to send a picture of the score :D
