If only I had eight hands...

[loufalce]

Charlotte sung to this in a Making fiends episode.

@mkarnerfors Ok, 11 hours later and I havenow tried playing this on my Android while out walking... and I'll admit it was *hard* to walk to... had to take rather small steps (for being me). But the biggest problem wasn't really the fast pace but rather that they don't keep it even... it changes all the time.

[mkarnerfors]

@Sviolinist This is not at all impossible to walk to. This is the same tampo, possibly a small tad faster compered to the version of D733 I have on my phone, and I enjoy walking to it with ease. It'll get my pulse up a bit but it's quite comfortable to walk to.

Ok, so I am a fast-paced walker but I also take long steps, plus I'm a bit overweight and don't have the constitution I used to. I'd say more than half the general population could easilly walk to this, and all military.

At this tempo it's not marching but rather running.

Just can't see the relation between fast tempo and Chinese/Japanese.

If you search in YouTube for

Schubert: Military March No. 1 in D, D733 (Live)

You will find the same piece played by Russian pianist. Also fast!

[candevhec]

Classic music is Universal, it belongs to humanity, often Japanese an Chinese love to play fast, it's fine for me, they are good pianist, it's true also that playing fast mask some mistakes. Well they are young girls. Give them time.

Schubert, a real genius, his music as the rhythm of a Polka, good for dancing... fast.

[Sviolinist]

@Sviolinist You're misunderstanding. Anyone can play the piece at this tempo. The piece is fairly easy. It's a March. Do you know what a march is? You can't march to it at this tempo.

[Meelaynah]

@Sviolinist: I play this piece at exactly this tempo: when my piano teacher isn't hear, I use this rendition to play along with. If you think that's impossible, thanks for the compliment :)

[Sviolinist]

@Meelaynah It's a march, not a presto, Meelaynah. Why don't you try matching to the piece at this tempo? Impossible. It's more of a Military Jog at this speed. Horrible tempo.

3:39 (3:41, actually) : fail.
