[@ralphiesal]

finally someone did this

[@konstantin1943]

accurate name

[@majrn1000]

I feel like she plays it closest to how composer would play it.

[@dariusnutzeblum]

great video man, high quality! I could not read notes aswell, but now I´m trying! :D it´s alot of work xD

[@icantreadnotes]

Thanks! Yeah it takes a lot of effort, but good that you’re trying :))

[@snailmusk9468]

Thank you, that's a first on RUclips :)

[@joechu-xm9xr]

Hey icantreadnotes! i cant read notes either lol. would you have the midi for this bro? i was also wondering how do you make the midi, cos this sounds like a live recording - awesome vid!

[@joechu-xm9xr]

omg, and you've done sonata 2, man legend!

[@icantreadnotes]

Thanks! Yes, I have two midis for this! One is a corrected midi, based on one I found on the internet on a midi page (I think it’s from here; www.classicalarchives.com/midi/composer/3203.html ), and then one where I make the notes fit to a recording of choice. So you’re not hearing a midi, but an actual recording :)

[@joechu-xm9xr]

@@icantreadnotes Amazing thank u, for the one where you have to make the notes fit the recording what software do you use? Is it synthesia

[@icantreadnotes]

@@joechu-xm9xr Yes for the visualization part. First I make the midi fit the recording in Logic Pro. Then I’ll film it on my iPad with Synthesia and afterwards I synch the midi recording and the performance recording in Final Cut Pro. Then I just export and upload it :)

[@indispensablechicken9417]

Is there a recording of this version on iTunes?

[@icantreadnotes]

@@indispensablechicken9417 Nope. Lisitsa only recorded this for RUclips, and did a studio version in 2022, but it’s very different and tbh I like it less.

[@tomasrendek3172]

This is definitelly Lisitsa playing

[@icantreadnotes]

Good ear!

[@АлёнаБойко-ю7е]

Скажите мне, кто-то правда будет это играть на такой скорости..?

[@georgeboukas7439]

Rachmaninoff himself played this faster

[@chaikhaneh]

how would you know? genuinely curious because there is no piano roll or recording of him playing the first sonata?​@@georgeboukas7439

[@ИсламЧабдаров]

I guess it plays Lisitsa

[@sean-kb4wr]

Ty very much for this but thats the worst recording of the piece thar i have ever heard

[@icantreadnotes]

lol thanks 😂
