[@f8q167]

To memorize you need to learn to read music and have lessons. If not, the song won't have the same effect. All the notes matter. If they didn't only ta's and titi's would exist that's the problem with memorizing.

A way underrated detail is that he’s doing this all on an upright. Many of the pieces he was playing were meant to be played on a grand piano which has a quicker action. It takes talent to do this on an upright. Edit: to clear up any confusion. An upright may have a lighter action but a grand has a quicker action and notes can be pressed much faster on a grand than an upright because of gravity assisting the hammers. Edit 2: sources- I tune pianos and teach piano for a living

[@callumparker3293]

I never knew there was such a difference, the more you know

[@coachbrandon01]

We had a Steinway grand upright where the middle pedal moved the action of the hammers closer to the strings. This allowed me to play faster. The only downside was that it felt different, and you lost the volume of the full swing of the hammers. You could use that pedal to play faster, or softer, or both. Great performance, regardless.
