Moonlight Sonata On Crack

I got this idea a few days ago - what does it sound like to play the moonlight sonata at 8x normal speed? This is not that video. But it got me thinking - what can you do with moonlight sonata while keeping some of its character? Hence this video.

Just to give you a little taste - I got a little lost in the cadenza. Which was pretty much completely improvised. That D major chord surprised me too. ;)

yeah and this guy can actually play piano with the best.. infact- this is really the way i need to hear it.. something around 2:30 seemed a little crude though- but yeah 2:54 is awsome.. what a lucky man he is..

There were some crude parts. It was mostly improvised and I wasn't that good at thinking on my feet at the time...

it's just genius.. and any slight imperfections have no affect on the whole of it.. it's like a diamond- if there were no inclusions it wouldn't be real..

Cool. I like what you did with the bass clef at 37 seconds. Is that a B-A-G#-F# octave?

[duskglow]

Yup. Thanks.

It actually get promising at 2:54. Kinda almost Philip Glass!

Wow great! 5*. Played on the same ypg and it's got some great piano sounds.

[Humank1nd]

Interesting. When I hit B-A-G#-F# on my piano, it doesn't sound like that. And it's not like it's out of tune....it's digital. lol
