Astounding "Classical" genre play differences.

**sellyme** · 12-12-2009, 07:48 PM

I've noticed that most songs of an easy difficulty in the Classical genre have very little plays, e.g. Prelude No. 7, with only a few thousand unique plays, while "Moonlight Sonata" has over 400k unique plays. Would this have been the result of a tournament, easter egg or something else?

This is a result of people here who play regularly generally playing at a higher level. Also, harder songs look badass thus increasing the attractiveness of them.

The easy songs are newer, doy.

It's because moonlight sonata is an incredibly old song, and has a very recognizable name, so more people, for a longer time have seen it and decided to play it.

When in Classical, people prefer fast paced songs with fast tempos and octaves constantly changing, and also they like Flaming Dingleberry said, they are new.

Thank you all. Also, funmonkey54, are you seriously saying Moonlight Sonata is a hard song?

I think he means newer by comparing to Flight Of The Bumblebee, which has been around forever...
Moonlight Sonata is much more new compared to it.
