As in, Widor's Toccata.
No, wait! Come back! Don't all run away. o_O
Well anyway, you know I can play one hand. You know I can play the other
hand. But, after several weeks of effort, I can now play both hands
*together*! :-D
(Well, just about anyway...)
See - or rather, hear - for yourself:
http://download.orphi.me.uk/Music/G3/WidorToccata-Full01.ogg
I can actually play a bit more of that, just not very fluidly. What, you
think *YOU* can do better?? :-P Be my guest! It's nowhere near as easy
as it sounds...
In other news, I can now play the entire toccata one-handed. (Well,
except for a tiny few bars.) Hear it here:
http://download.orphi.me.uk/Music/G3/WidorToccata-Main03.ogg
Compared to even the previous recording I released, it's much more fluid
and smooth. And this new recording is about *twice* as long too! That's
because it covers the whole piece. (Only a few parts near the very end
are missing.)
The final chord really doesn't sound right. Maybe that's just because I
don't have any samples for the really low notes; I don't know.

No, seriously... I've spent MONTHS OF MY LIFE attaining this level of
proficiency!
Aww, damn... nobody cares any more. :'{
This seems to be a recurring problem with my life. I do something
increadibly cool. I feel like I could have a crowd of people standing
around me while I pop a champaign cork or two... but nobody IRL actually
gives a ****. It's really demotivating.

I don't pay too much attention to these posts because I know I wouldn't be
able to play it myself :)

Heh. When I first heard it performed live at the Royal Albert Hall, I
assumed it was far too difficult for any human being to play. And now
*I'm playing it*! o_O
