CLEAN : Sound no barrier for worlds fastest pianist

The video discusses the natural speed limit for pianists, likening it to the maximum speed of an airplane propeller. It explains that while achieving speeds of 19.5 notes per second is possible, it surpasses the ear's ability to discern individual notes and requires significant physical energy. The natural speed for pianists is between 13 and 14 notes per second, which is necessary to achieve the true power of the piano, akin to breaking the sound barrier.

What is the natural limit to the speed of pianists compared to?

• The speed of a car

• The speed of a propeller on an airplane

• The speed of a train

• The speed of a rocket

Why is playing at 19.5 notes per second not musically interesting?

• It requires too much mental focus

• It is too slow for the audience

• It is not physically possible

• The ear cannot discern the notes at that speed

What is the natural speed range for pianists?

• 17 to 18 notes per second

• 13 to 14 notes per second

• 15 to 16 notes per second

• 10 to 11 notes per second

What is required to achieve the true power of the piano?

• Playing with both hands

• Playing at a slower speed

• Reaching the natural speed limit

• Using more physical energy

What happens when a pianist goes past the sound barrier on a piano?

• The pianist plays slower

• The piano produces no sound

• The sound becomes clearer

• The notes become indistinguishable
