This is a great kind of thing for getting people into music. There's a piano in my local pub and when people say they "can't play piano" I'll play a 2-5-1 in C and tell them to hit any of the white notes. People love that they can make up their own tunes having never played before.

#52Love it! It could be even more awesome if the velocity of each key press had an impact of the volume, that way we could control two properties at once.
Velocity is controlled by where you tap the screen (vertically)

And then you show them the black blues note...

#56Very fun. Though nothing seems to work in Chrome except for the tutorial piece.
I found it ironic that the app recommends chrome, while track selection only worked in Firefox for me.

#57It’s kind of funny how trills work in here.
Re: Touch Pianist
#58Nice idea. I'm really missing a way to contol the dynamics. Maybe just mapping 1-9 keys to a velocity scaling?
Re: Touch Pianist
#59Wow, this really puts in to perspective how hard the Appassionata is - I could barely keep up with the tempo doing the trills with one hand, I can't even imagine actually playing it. One day maybe :^D
Once upon a time I realized that Bach had invented macro expansion. The occasion was me trying to figure out why Partita 1 doesn't sound at all the way the notes are written, and what is that little wavy thing over the notes? It turns out that that little ornament expands into an 8 note sequence centered on the note written. Not that there weren't plenty of notes already on that page...

On touchscreen vertical height of the touch is mapped to velocity - really nifty
