Finally, after 4 years we have Rush E²: E Strike Back absolutely incredible, definitely lives up to the original!

[@joshlin8002]

I didn’t think it could be done…but this is vastly superior to the original. The dynamic contrast, the classical and modern styles, the flurishes.. Its Eauitful.

[@JonJLego]

Rush E is what happens when you have a two hour test that you didn’t study for the previous night. This is what starts playing when the teacher announces ten minutes left and not to forget the backside you didn’t know about. Fantastic work by SMB! Love every second of it!

Can we appreciate the insane amount of studying that goes into actually making this sound like a song?

[@breenttt]

it's the fact that it still retains an incredible amount of familiarity and musicality even when it's going absolutely insane

[@triggeredtiger9773]

I think it's because they turned the volume of some of the notes down

[@stephencaudle1766]

It's actually a lot easier to play than it looks. I've almost learned the first three notes.

[@breenttt]

@@triggeredtiger9773 that's cause it's how it'd realistically be played even though it's basically impossible, but even with that it's still incredible that there's any kind of familiarity in it at all with the bass and treble and the other riffs and things that happen in it with basically every note being played at once

If you got a few people I think it might be possible. Because! If you got one person for every coloured line and then split the piece up on more pianos than one it is possible. Someone should give it a try.

[@jcizzlepiano]

This is honestly an incredible composition. Not only musically, but also VISUALLY. Whoever is behind this, your ability to compose beyond the limits of human ability is unironically revolutionary. As fun as it is to see someone really flipping skilled at the instrument, it's also so cool to see what people could create without the limitations of our bodily hardware.
