Both Buttocks
Lol, like just saying buttocks wasn’t enough. I need to know how many to make it sound right. 1? 3? Do I need to call in a friend?
It just wouldn’t sound the same, if you simply laid your arm on the keys…
It’s thematic.
Any real piano (i.e. not some synthesiser board) will definitely make different sounds to differing levels of pressure and stroke speed.
I mean, fair point, but I’m still not convinced the componist figured out hastily turning around and pressing your butt cheeks onto the keys really sounds better than slamming your arm down. Like, I’m pretty sure this instruction is for comedic effect when playing in front of an audience…
And this is how it sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4JD-3-UAzM (skip to 1:57 if you don’t care about the rest).
Gladly taking videos with actual jumping back.
Imagine having to hit specific notes with your buttcheeks
Seems like a piece the Ukrainian president would want to play. It would look pretty funny.
I’m getting some Brutal Last Sister Flandre S. feelings from this. (obligatory “it isn’t Death Waltz, that’s a different but equally worthwhile composition to read” comment)
