Her hands say 50 but her legs say 20 O_o

@travis94falle in sum, you're more than 5 decades off :)

The hands are very stiff. It's impossible to play this part consisting of mainly accords with hands like this. Particularly legato. Also in the first left hand trill the two notes are wrong. Fingering is also very inconvenient. Basically, this video is harmful for those who think they may learn from this

"tutorial." Awful... I had never been so harsh, really...

@aomf58 btw, write to the publisher, Carl Fischer Inc., re the inconvenient fingering, they'd surely appreciate your deep insight

I'm going to play this on my funeral

[TheSpiderHand]

Haha, never would have thought this could be played any slower! I'm not saying anything bad obviously, since you're playing slowly for instructive purposes. But seriously... I have played this time and time again and just hearing it ONE MORE TIME so slow.

@DrNoth I see. My apolgies.

@MrPianist101 I wasn't talking the person in the video. Someone else commented on how bad it was. So I was saying to that person make a video and post it.

[MrPianist101]

@DrNoth Well, It's obvious she can play it if she's doing in in a slow motion type of way. It takes more skill to play in slow motion and actually control the tempo. so let me ask you this, "Can you play it in slow motion?"

[DrNoth]

@aomf58 How about you make a video of yourself playing this song and let's see how well you can do it. You can talk the talk but can you walk the walk?

@bbdhrggl Cool!

@bctvr 8notes piano scores are good for beginning students. Most classical scores are transcribed, simplified. The collection at imslp will wow you! :)
