This is the most heinously arm-cramping excerpt of an opera I played last night. It is CRAZY fast. I used my meteronome, and I can confidently say each measure equals 60. For you non-music folks, that means I have to one second to play each measure. (In this example, there are about 2 measures per line. All 4 pages (including the rests) take 68 seconds to play.THE CONTEST: Be the first person to leave a comment giving me the name of the composer of this piece, and you win this skein of "Fortissima" Sock Yarn.
(hint: he's Italian)
Good Luck!

Do I have an unfair advantage?
well, I haven't a clue. But commenting 'cause I JUST STARTED TAKING PIANO LESSONS! Have had 4 lessons! At the ripe old age of --- let's just say 'pretty ripe' :-). But you know what they say, to keep the brain from getting too foggy try to continue learning something new! So last year I learned to knit; this year it's piano (oh, & of course, new knitting techniques continue!).

ReplyDeleteTo anonymous: kudos to you for learning the piano! I played for a little while too, and it's so much harder because you're dealing with 2 clefs!
