Da chairman obviously needs more practical experience before uttering such nonsense.
Da whole black key scale within 1 second iz a minimum of 36n p/s. Where iz da fastest documented alternating hands passage-work eva iz from da Ziff rach2 mov3 entrance. 52(3) notes in just ovah 2 seconds. and dat equates to 26.5 nps at BEST.
ok i did an estimate - da 4 downward washes of both hands, are done in about 1 second str8, conceivably each of dese are 5 notes per hand = 10 notes each.
aftah a deepah analysis I can say da zepp was wrong sayin da velocidik nevah use da 5 fingaz
in da first downward washes dere iz :
3 real washes (double washed in da middle) wit 5 notes/hand = 30 notez
note dat I start aftah da first note of da first wash but stop when he strikes da F# RH : I leave out da weird n sl*w last wash :
dis iz done in 0.875 sec
dat iz 34 nps !
if u apply dis speed to da black keyz scale, u can almost do a keyboard traverse in one second.
da second upward wash usez only 4 fingahz by hand, but 4 complete washes
4 washes (double-washed middle) wit 4 notes/hand = 32 notes in 1,2 sec = 26.6 nps
maybe da double-wash tech iz cheating cuz it’s not a real AFAP tech as described by da comme wit da black keys scale…
aftah tryin I can’t say dat dis iz mo easy nevahdalezz…
howevah, da minimal traveling distance theory still standz regarding da double wash. diz meanz da overall horizontal distance covered iz significantly less den dat of a tru arpeggic AFAP run.
to undahstand da feasibility of da 1sec black key scale in relation to da velocidick run we witnessed:
7 washz 35 notez descending (ignoring da extra black key), horizontal displacement: 6 octz, or rh6+lh4= 10 octz fo 2 handz
da horizontal displacement aftah 7 washz using da velocidick double wash tech: 3 octz, or rh3+lh2= 5 octz fo 2 handz
now if we assume da downward displacement of da keyz iz negligible, den theoretically da velocidick double wash tech shud be twice az fast az da normal AFAP arp runz.
hahaha obviously da double-wash tech iz sheeyat in distance travelling …
da main point iz dat da required nps iz theoretically achievable in wash tech… I didn’t say dat it automatically inducez da 1 sec keyboard travelling, just dat dat givez da hope dat we hadn’t before…
also dis iz not lyk if da time was a linear function of da distance, if so dat would mean u haff no acceleration factor in ur playin, and den u couldn’t actually start playin
try dis test: arp-bang da last 5 black keyz of da 88 wit ur right hand den quickly jump to da 5 black keyz an octave lowah and so on wit every octavez, c da higher steady tempo u can do wit firm bangz.
den, do da same, but each time u jump one octave, so u jump twice da distance each time… c how fast u can do dat… do u play twice slowah? actually u can c dat wit a bit of practice u can reach about da same tempo dan wit da first exercice, dat iz more an accuracy problem dan a distance time problem
also remembah dat was IMPOSSIBLE to play da 10/2 in one minute until da rudy decided to do so…
mah point iz dat dere iz nothin impossible and dat every SD membah should start working hard to achieve dis beautiful goal which iz “whole keyboard traveling in one second”
da idea iz so beautiful dat bringz a tear to mah eye
