=====(The Details/Performer's Notes)=====
This is the Rachmaninoff arrangement of Korsakov's infamous "Flight of the Bumblebee". Which has become the unofficial litmus test for "fast/flashy" playing in the performance world. My version takes a fairly conservative tempo and is admittedly not the cleanest. But it's time to move on.
Funnily enough this was at performance level a few weeks ago (practicing on the grand pianos in my teaching studio) but it always takes me a few extra weeks to work it out on the digital piano. The grand basically plays itself whereas this digital keyboard forces you to really know the passagework (for me personally my Yamaha p-255 is starting to show its age RIP). That new keyboard I ordered in April can't come soon enough!
Your Pianist,
