Even that manufacturer wouldn't have thought that somebody can play moonlight sonata on it 😂... Great job dude 👍

[@akubalor]

ooohh, I'm encouraged to do more. Thank you so much!

[@cathcartmagic]

Because it’s not made to play this type of classical Music

[@yogita4456]

It doesn't matter if you're playing moonlight Sonata on a million dollar piano or a simple keyboard. It is about the talent that you managed to play this masterpiece of a 61 key keyboard. 👏👏👏

[@akubalor]

Awweee, so motivating, thank you so much!

[@yogita4456]

@@akubalor you're welcome 👍

[@lexxx5911]

It kind of does matter. A piano has different for a keyboard. A piano has strings and stuff inside which a digital piano doesnt have. I think the piano keys carries a thing to hit the keys which makes the keys almost heavy. So it's almost unrealistic playing on keyboard.

[@akubalor]

@@lexxx5911 now it kinda makes me wonder what type of keys do our famous classical virtuoso pianists play with? Was it the same as our modern piano? Does it take more force and pressure to press their keys? Or would it be more suitable in playing at faster speed compared today?

[@niamxd2024]

It's impressive, but I recommend to play more slow and more fluid without mistakes, it doesn't matter the tempo, just focus on play it well, and later when you can play it well you speed up. Anyways, this is just a recommendation, it's already impressive that you can play it, keep up the good work! ♥️

If you can play it slow you can play it fast

Nice one!

[@fentcrease]

The funny thing is… this piano probably sounds better than the actual piano that Beethoven played on😭

[@akubalor]

Based on the technology, yup, i think so too. I haven't researched the kind of piano they were using before. Maybe they were hard to press with unequal key temperament. That makes them more intelligent with more dexterity as they were able to overcome those.

Day 13 of supporting Akubalor: now I can do the second part of moonlight sonata, still can't do it fast enough but stability comes with speed!

[@Road_Dog]

How long did it take to practice?

[@akubalor]

I have been playing this piece for about 10 years now without a classically-trained teacher, though not as consistent since I have other priorities and leisure activities. I can say that maybe about 6 months in these 10 years where I had intensely focused on studying the piece, yet as you can see, I'm still not flexible enough, and I know I'll never perfect it. Will be playing and enjoying this piece in my lifetime, that's for sure.

It's too fast at some parts. And you're making quite alot of mistakes. Keep the speed at tempo. Nonetheless, nice work!

This is really my weakness. Maybe you can relate to this: the energy and the rush creates kinda pleasurable feeling to me; forgetting the importance of playing in a refined manner and be conscious towards the audience; but instead just playing at inconsistently fast tempo out of such pleasure. Will practice this piece for a lifetime. Thanks for the tip!
