It sounded pretty amateurish. To be quite honest, if I was there I would make a scene and leave restaurant, and give it 1 star review on yelp. Waiter needed to stop that for the sake of other customers instead of just mocking him and laughing in his face

As it climaxes, he's reaching the casket, to find that he's staring at himself, dead. Metal af.

Probably not a one. Sure maybe in YOUR mind you could have done better here, or didn't capture the dynamic you wanted there, but so long as you trust yourself enough, and put yourself out there people are almost always extremely impressed, and everything was overall well received. So idk it's just so funny to think about this type of thing because we all go through it, it does get easier too the more you do it, but we sure can be our biggest critic too, and I truly wonder if we didn't limit ourselves like we do what couldn't we do if we put our minds to it?

    Chris G If you're comparing to ALL pieces ever, it's really not close whatsoever. In comparison to pieces more well known to the average public, it's up there, but even something like fantasie impromptu is definitely harder. Outside of that, most Liszt and Rach pieces are much harder, and then there's, Ravel, some Chopin, Brahms, Scarlatti, Scriabin, and plenty more. It was a great performance, but absolutely no where near the hardest.

    A way underrated detail is that he’s doing this all on an upright. Many of the pieces he was playing were meant to be played on a grand piano which has a quicker action. It takes talent to do this on an upright. Edit: to clear up any confusion. An upright may have a lighter action but a grand has a quicker action and notes can be pressed much faster on a grand than an upright because of gravity assisting the hammers. Edit 2: sources- I tune pianos and teach piano for a living

    We had a Steinway grand upright where the middle pedal moved the action of the hammers closer to the strings. This allowed me to play faster. The only downside was that it felt different, and you lost the volume of the full swing of the hammers. You could use that pedal to play faster, or softer, or both. Great performance, regardless.
