MaestroUGC's Virtuoso Submissions *Nihil*

[universe-X]

All I want is to see someone try to play at least one song. Just see, is that so much to ask for?

[KefkaticFanatic]

If he were to make them both impressive and playable like this guy, then it would be reasonable.  But no, he has no regard for anything but the sound it makes through his computer.  Not the physical technique, playability, anything.

no.  i got it...posting to youtube...

^Well, I saw some of your other videos... oh my God You are already so much better than me! Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement was just insane... and one month's practice!? I have found a challenge  Now, I'm also really looking forward to your playing

But no, he has no regard for anything but the sound it makes through his computer.  Not the physical technique, playability, anything.

And you know this... how? He does pay attention to the physicality of the pieces and has done intense studying on what to consider, the limits of the human hands. The playablity is from a virtuoso's point of view (so-to-speak), and I know you've had some experience with such songs, but...

[KefkaticFanatic]

There are multiple arrangements that are physically impossible.  I don't remember exact ones, but I've pointed them out in previous posts.

dahans is right about 48-53.  There are chords that are unplayable.  Otherwise it's just stressing.

Stuff like this. It was intended to be glissed, I've done it, it's perfectly possible.

[KefkaticFanatic]

Then put a mark there telling you to do so.  Also the fact that the chord progression is too stressing.  Technically it's playable, but not realistically.

[universe-X]

Well, it's not like you have to really keep your fingers on the chord

Mark telling me to do so: glissando/arpeggio?

[Brassman388]

Don't be silly, Glissando of course.

[MaestroUGC]

Ok...the difference between a viruoso and a normal performer: interpretation.

That's what it all come down to. I know the limits of humans, quite well, and I have come nowhere near that...yet.

Kekfka...I've seen you play...eh.

My arrangements may sound the same, who cares? Beethoven sounds like Beethoven; Liszt like Liszt. Every composer uses the same tricks in their compositions, it is not uncommon.

Also, competent players don't need to be told to gliss a large chord.

P.S. I can't play my own arrangements...

What I've seen is that Virtuoso:Kaizo. And you know when it's Kaizo when "Not even the creator of the game can play it!"

[KefkaticFanatic]

It really would help you Maestro if you didn't act like such a prick about everything.  Talking like your arrangements are for a different kind of performer, that it's "far too advanced" for normal people, this does nothing but make you look like an asshole.

Well, could an average performer play this just as well as a person with 10s of years of practice?

And talking the way you do does nothing but make you look like an asshole. But hey, everyone loves hypocrisy...

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

I mean, er, simmer down y'all.
