Now listen to how it was originally written

Sure, but within the context of solo piano it's commonly played as a blazing virtuosic show-off piece. My point was Lang Lang managed to play at warp speed while still preserving voicing, dynamics, and feel in a way that I think is lost by Wang at the pace she chose.

I have a strong desire to play track & field now.

I'm an Einaudi fan, personally. This is on in the background while I work (this video isn't actually him, but its a cool visual representation).

I think it was Madden 1998 (probably other years too, I am just going off memory) if you created a custom player your speed was based off of how fast you could alternate the A and B buttons. I struggled finding a video for someone making a player in that game but I remember always being killer at that and making dudes who had a 97 or 98 speed rating every time.

Found another relaxing video rabbit hole to go down for a bit: guy in Japan making handmade fancy leather shoes. Kind of mesmerizing to watch.

I agree. It was fast, but it wasn't musical. As a violinist myself, I can tell you the hardest pieces to play are not always the fastest ones. Making music is more difficult than dazzling audiences with pyrotechnics.


TL,DR start around the 8 min mark

Just want to shout out that this is one of the most awesome YT channels out there, at least for a music lover who can't read notes. Gives an amazing visual representation to the music, and how hard some pieces are to play.

On Friday evening, Astoria police confirmed that the boat had been stolen by Labonte, and that he was also wanted by police in Victoria, B.C. and was the man reported to have thrown fish on the porch of ‘The Goonies’ house.

Because authorities were not aware of his identity at the time of the rescue, Labonte was allowed to walk out of the hospital and his location is currently unknown. Canadian Border Control are heading down to assist with the search, police said.
