If anyone here ever studied with Carl E. Schachter in the 1970's, you'll remember he beat this work into the ground--Schenker-style--for weeks. Fond memories of Longo 104. Beautiful visual of nascent sonata allegro. Thanks.

This song sounds like a royal medival party with an evil joker!

Wow this what happens when you practise for so long :D Do you have any tips on reading music? For instance i know how to read music but i dont read it i decode it because its hard to read it quickly so what would you suggest if you know what your reading but it takes alot of time to undestand a single note on either stave?

@smalin Never mind; the part was just to fast to follow with my eyes.

@M1u2S4i8K I am playing on a grand piano (with an attachment to record MIDI, which is what is playing the harpsichord and organ). No special technique. What you see in the video is how I did it (you are seeing the performance you're hearing).

[M1u2S4i8K]

@smalin With a special fingertechnique. Chomatic Glissandi or irregular ones are very hard to play for me on a standard Piano/Keyboard.

@M1u2S4i8K How did you think I played it?
