hey, just bumping this thread to let u know where im at, so im making good time, im pretty well proficient in all 11 pages ive learned, with 4 pages left to learn, but i really want to buy a better camera before i post the progress video. and im playing what a know at a higher caliber imo then my previous video, improved accuracy, speed and dynamics.
but on the bright side if this was a video game i would be on the last level i am now at the "Death climax." it is supposed to be uber hard but ive been very well trained on what ive learned and every fucking note on this piece has been uber hard so far(jesus especially the super fast trills ) so its not any extremely new territory for me. this whole piece has been a huge leap in my ability so naturally once im faced with even harder sections il be much more prepared for it so im quite confident i will slay it. So i have around 4 months to learn the last 4 pages and hopefully be able to play it at a professional level.
this is so surreal for me, i wasnt sure if i could make it to the climax but now that it is the last brick in my way its starting to feel a little scary, like one of those dreams where you believe you can fly and in a snap you are able to do it but once you over think it you crash and burn. from start to finish me learning this piece almost felt like a millisecond blur where i dreamed about being able to do it now i pretty much almost can.
shits blowing my mind

I can't wait to see the progress, no doubt it will be amazing and Sleepy will say something like "I made too many mistakes". Looking forward to it anyway.

Ahaha, man ive been tainted by watching videos of the pros playing it and see people complaining that their finger slipped slightly on one note and these guys give them absolute shit. But its funny cuz all the people who complain about minor mistakes couldnt play this stuff for their life loll guess people like to think they are critics

I think the saying 'you are your own worst critic' is true in many things.

definitely! i know that what I see in my playing is different then what others do. since im trying to improve it always all i can hear is the minor flaws but i dont seem to pay much attention to the things i do right.
i have to say though watching others play it before i knew how to play it is a completely different experience than knowing how to play it and watching others.

Hey guys, ive been MIA on this thread but im just checking in to say that im almost finished la campanella, less than 2 pages to go which is just finishing the climax.
it took me ~two months to perfect the beginning of the climax to a level that i think is strong. its the most difficult part because the jumps are soo massive and quick so i was just playing that part over and over for 2 months and finally im accurate at the speed im going for.
ive been consistently practicing for 3-6 hours everyday and maybe ~2 hours on the very few days a week i work so naturally my proficiency at the piece has increase dramatically.
i can channel intense power and speed especially in the climax, it looks fucking alien when i do it ahah
this shit is exciting, its almost finished at long last.
expect a finished final recording in august. i will try to have it complete as early in that month as possible but i wont rush perfection so im just going to hope if i put an insane amount of time in these last few days then i can get it at the standard im going for.
but its going stupid well, every note i hit is clear and accurate even at the extremely fine movement/quick parts. when i slow down the recording im trying to go for zero note hiccups or blurs, sort of a way to check my work

Hey guys, figured id chime in a let you guys know how its going and why ive been a little late with the finished project. Well it was wishful thinking to assume id have a finished recording by the deadline i set at the quality that im looking for. So instead of rushing myself and ultimately sacrificing quality to meet the deadline, id just take the stress off and work on it like crazy but set the deadline when i feel i can realistically perform it at the quality that im looking for.
So ive learned the whole piece and now i am just trying to perfect playing it all the way through without mistakes. i can play all the sections without mistakes but piecing it all together is going to take a bit more work until it has very few mistakes. The full recording will be complete very soon.
But i will at least give a small sneak peak of the quality i am attempting to achieve thorough the whole piece, What i play here might sound passable but i fucked up a few of the trills in this if you slow it down and listen closely but my fingers were tired so they were slower and less accurate from hours of playing before hand.
anyways, have a great night guys. i will have the full recording finished as soon as i possibly can.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the support! The Piece run time is about 4 min 30 seconds for 15 pages. And yeah learning this piece has been pretty hard on my body. A few of the joints are briused in my fingers and the tips of the fingers get quite bruised as well. Plus i developed tendonitis in my forearms and last but not least i have a pressure sore on my butt cheek from sitting in one position too long so i got padding which i hope will allow the skin to heal. Its just a circle of hyperpigmentation in the skin but can get worse if i dont take care of it.

I've never played but I'm thinking of diving in and buying a clavinet sounding keyboard. Clavinets are the coolest sounding instrument ever. Very superstitious! Writing on the walls!
