How to practise it in the visualizer
- Slow it down first: start at 72 BPM, about 60% of the original 120, and speed up as the notes become familiar.
- Solo the “Piano” track to hear one part at a time, then bring the others back in.
- Up to 11 notes sound together here: pause on the fullest chords and find their keys before playing on.
- The notes spread over 6.0 octaves, from C1 to C7: 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.
