The Entertainer is quite a hard song to play fast, if you break it down and play it slowly you can then speed up and possibly play like him, The Entertainer is a really hard song to forget to play once when you've played it properly for afew times. Because it takes awhile to actually play it, hence why he was good at it.

Honestly, you pianists are geniuses at what you do with your hands. I, not being a musician, although I have been playing the piano for 27 years now, am trying to learn this song with a well-played score, and I literally go crazy with the number of times that, unfortunately, I end up making mistakes, which is exasperating. But that for me becomes a challenge that I want to achieve. Congratulations on such a fantastic performance. All the best.
@Nigelrathbone18 ай бұрын
If you can discipline yourself to use slower practice tempo repetitions of just the problem measures with a metronome you'll eliminate mistakes sooner with less frustration. Be patient. Your practice mantra should be "practice slower to play faster". How slow? As slow as necessary to play it no errors. 10x perfect then bump up the tempo 1 met notch & repeat until desired tempo acheived. Another impotant thought while you practice: focus on muscle memory - what it feels like to play each rep petfectly, effortlessly. With each slow, cateful rep you are programming your muscles to repeat that result. It will soon be automatic where you don't have to think about it.
