    OK, so I am a 77 year young woman who just started taking piano lessons for the first time five and a half months ago. I absolutely adore classical music which is all I would like to learn much to my piano teacher's dismay since most of her students prefer other genres and she is trying to gently guide me into other types of music which is fine. What I wanted to say is my parents made me take accordian lessons as a kid for 9 years! And I hated every minute of it but it did give me a good foundation for learning piano. When I was around 12, I learned this piece of course on the accordian it's much easier I would think because I only had to learn the right hand. Left hand was all buttons, looks like a lot but really very easy. I love Flight of the Bumblebee but dare I consider ever getting good enough to attempt it?

      3. Advanced piano player skills and experience, but you don't need to be a professional.
      4. Stubbornness and hard practice. Without Stubbornness you will hate the song after just two weeks, when it might take 2 months to master decently, and after that you have to speed it up for another 2 months, at the very least. Playing it slowly it sounds boring, so you must be a very patient person.

    It's refreshing to see someone render that piece in a way that is actually artistic. The pace is suitable, the notes can be distinguished from one another, you are able to hear each and every articulation. This is how a piece from the Romantic period should be treated. I'm sick of internet trolls and so called "talent show" scammers seeing it as a catalyst for their ego. It ruined the experience for me and what it meant to be intellectually honest as a musician in the public. I can finally listen to this piece and enjoy it again. Thank you! 😊

    A lot of the phrases are just repeated over and over again. The best way to learn this is to use drills (playing the phrases on loop over and over again).

But basically, it's math(eight notes, 4/4 measure, etc), patterns(scales, chorus, etc) and harmony (dissonance, consonance, etc). Because of this, it will create shapes that are intentional. For music sheets, experienced players will recognize these patterns because they have a better understanding of music theory while less experienced players will be focused on a note by note basis.
      They aren't hidden. Inexperienced note readers or those that simply don't know how to read aren't capable of visualizing or recognizing these patterns unless shown in a program such as this. However, recognition of these patterns is what allows experienced note readers make it seem like they can understand music sheets in a glance. It is just a matter of practice and experience.

      Rousseau cool, in a weird way it actually almost feels more comfortable in octaves I find, I don't think my left hand is good enough though for some of the other parts. You're very talented to be able to get out a new video each week, you've nailed it in terms of channel growth too, may the lights guide your way haha. Cheers.

      @Deadvillex the fact that you can't stand them shows that twoset violins are not meant for people like you who get easily offended....
