I'd go with the "and above" part of that statement, it's very fast. It's really fun to play, and worth learning IMO. _________________________ It is better to be kind than to be right.

J_N Full Member Registered: 05/03/09 Posts: 59 Loc: Newcastle, UK	that speed is amazing... if I could have just a bit of that speed... dream but personally I'd prefer it a touch slower... at times the notes sounded kind of overlapped to me... maybe my brain's just not fast enough _________________________ “The piano has been drinking, not me.”

nan Full Member Registered: 06/12/04 Posts: 140 Loc: San Francisco	Akira, Wahnsinnig! Amazing! I just had a thread going about how to speed up -- but I don't think I'll ever reach such perfection! What a joy to watch Yuja play, thanks for sharing!
