How to practise it in the visualizer
- Slow it down first: start at 90 BPM, about 60% of the original 150, and speed up as the notes become familiar.
- Up to 11 notes sound together here: pause on the fullest chords and find their keys before playing on.
- The notes spread over 5.8 octaves, from C♯1 to B♭6: keep an eye on both ends of the keyboard.
- Each falling bar lands on the key to press; its length is how long to hold the note.
