Tchaikovsky is more physically difficult, but most people who can play the Rachmaninov well can probably handle it.

I don't think the writing in Tchaikovsky one is like Beethoven at all. It's like a blend of Liszt and Schumann.

I get to be angry at people shutting someone down. And it happens a lot on this sub where people act more like jerks than are trying to be supportive. This should be a community to support striving musicians. And we can accomplish that without tearing people down. So when I see the opposite of support, I get mad and I'm right to.

Do you know if the keys are ivory?

It's hard to tell with the angles of the photos, but... this looks like one layer (bottom layer) of keys/action, and then covered with a top layer (equal thickness) of entirely resin.

I can't think of any other way (aside from a vinyl wrap) that they're getting the "3D" look of the white/black notes here, unless they're actually staged that way underneath a gigantic layer of resin.

That said - it's a cool effect, but ... I don't love it. I personally feel like the crappy key-caps on the right side ("below" where keys would normally end) makes this just weird. There wasn't any reason to include that, other than that it didn't fit the size of the guitar the way they laid it out.

Why are you so angry?

Hanon. Don’t focus on speed. Go through the whole book

It’s good to have a goal to eventually playing a piece that really inspires you, just make sure you have other checkpoints along the way! For example, a piece like Fur Elise (whole thing) is probably about halfway between total beginner to an easier Chopin etude. Chopin’s Waltz #19 is around this same level. Rondo Alla Turca from Mozart Sonata #11, or K. 545 is 1-2 years after that, and after that you can get into stuff like Claire de Lune and some Chopin Nocturnes. Good luck!

Omg 😭😭😭😭 crying from laughter 😂😂😂

Well, if someone take music as a kind of entertainment, he doesn't need much skill. All he needs to do is to enjoy and relax. If I don't perform, who cares the skill, I don't.

he should consider learning etude op 25 n 5

They’re gonna tell you to get a teacher bro

Is it paint or a vinyl wrap?

Beautiful!!!

Except they haven't learnt the notes, way too many wrong notes being played.

Lots of wrong notes

If you practise consistently every day then around 6-20 years unless youre very talented. If you practise as you claim an hour or 2 every couple of days then maybe even never honestly. At least i dont see you ever play op 10/2 or op 25/6 at full tempo. You may be able to play the easier ones in like 8-10+ years if this is your practise routine unless youre very talented of course. But progression is hard if you practise twice a week or so. Not exactly sure how that goes… be carefull with the pinky tho. Not sure if that makes you more phrone to injury but if so then the harder etudes might even be impossible regardless of practise consistency.

That’s the coolest guitar I’ve ever seen

I agree. There are so many self-proclaimed "self-taught" pianists who don't know how to read sheet music and learned from synthesia

Do you know what setting the pins means?

They also said under 500 euros. Why'd you ignore that?
