I honestly thought the tempo was decent, comparing my video to jonathanasdf's video, haha. The piece is played in 3:20, mine was played in 4:20 (could have been faster in the middle section, but I deliberately slowed it down) and Jonathan's video was played in 6:20. I don't worry about the tempo.

I think Destiny did a remarkable job regardless of the tempo.
Of course... Looking at the sheet music, it's a 170 with 16th notes in various places (and more, but I am just too lazy to look it over again).

It was done very well. Very nicely scaled.

This is like.. the most insane piano playing I have ever seen.

It's so fast in some spots it looks like it's been sped up.

Great job!

Awesome job, though. You play very well.

I was quite determined to proceed with learning La Campanella, but after hearing Piano Etude played in its entirety on a real piano, I'm rather tempted to pick it up instead. Nice performance!

I already commented on the video on Youtube, however, you're far too amazing at piano that I couldn't pass up commenting here as well.

at first I thought this was beyond godly, so I showed it to my Mom (who used to be a professional Piano player), so then she said "That's not hard, you could play it with practice, but what is beyond me is that he memorized the piece, that's what's so inhumanly impressive", so I bet her she couldn't play it, printed out the sheet music, gave her an hour to practice, and she played it really well, so then I asked her "I thought this was harder than Chopin and stuff?" And she laughed and told me it was no where near List or Chopin, if you want to play rev. Etude or any of Lists insane messes than good luck, but this is challenging, but doable

so congrats, I'm gonna try to learn it now!

Yeah it's not really that hard. A lot of my pieces are way harder - such as Chopin Ballades and Etudes. I know Destiny plays more difficult pieces too. It's just really cool and fun to play.

Yeah, there are much more technically difficult pieces out there (e.g. La Campanella or Hungarian Rhapsody No.2). Imo, Piano Etude is particularly appealing due to both the catchy melody and the natural association with rhythm gaming. It also allows more room for expression than most other transcribed synthesized songs. As for memorization, ten pages shouldn't be much of a task, especially if the player has had an extensive repertoire at some point.

La Campanella's insane! You can play that ieat? That's one of list's hardest pieces! The speed, the octave stretches, the "jacks" (don't think there is a piano term for that) and that right handed trill at the highest octave lasts FOREVER!! I could not keep that up for the life of me...

I'm in the process of learning it. I've been experimenting with various techniques for managing the sizable octave stretches. So far, it seems that employing primarily rotation of the wrist is sketchy in terms of conserving energy, although it's more straightforward in practice (such as when trying to play at a high tempo). Some of the other methods, which serve to reduce tension in the arms and wrists, require an additional degree of concentration, but they're ultimately more effective, especially considering how important stamina is in a physically demanding piece like La Campanella.

I also went ahead and learned most of the first page of Piano Etude. It's pretty enjoyable to play, though I'll have to see what the more difficult parts are like before coming to any conclusions.

Wow, what a coincidence that you and your perma banned (now dead) rl friend damanwithdaskillz both happen to have a former professional pianist for a mother.

Sorry just had to point that out.

Awesome job Destiny! I'd like to see some people's versions in the future.
