Peter_W. Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Are repeated 16ths (one hand) at 152bpm impossible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamma Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Maybe for the most talented pianists of the world. But it's not too practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinjessome Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Maybe for the most talented pianists of the world. But it's not too practical. Really? Why not? I suppose it depends precisely which 16th's he's talking about; however, even I (a less than mediocre pianist) wouldn't have much trouble if given a pattern to play in 16th's @ 152.

Gamma Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think what I should have said, it needs context! Variables such as: Dynamics, how long repeating the note for, what the other hand is doing, lol what kind of piano (most uprights don't have that kind of action), how "even" you want each repeating tone to be, ect. CONTEXT WOOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_W. Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 What kind of factors contribute to whether or not it is possible? Specifics. This is what I wrote that brought it up: http://forum.youngcomposers.com/t28660/experimenting/page__view__getlastpost I need to be more aware of the technical limitations of most proficient piano players.

Audiosprite Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 it shouldn't be a problem if they can use both a finger and a thumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
