First Movement of Sonata No. 1 (Rendition by Zeraton) - Original Composition

I already posted this here, but this time it's a real performance instead of Musescore playback.
I linked the social medias of the performer on the description

Sorry to break it to you, but listening to this, I'm getting many clues that you were scammed, because this does not sound real. Even if they had used an electric piano, there's no way their tuplets are that precise at that speed, there's like no dynamic nuance, and the dynamics rarely even match properly, and the pedaling sounds unnatural. Sounds like they took a midi and messed around with tempo changes.

The piece itself is well written. The themes are memorable, they develop nice, etc., so well done. The main issue I have is the enharmonic spelling in the score makes it troublesome to read sometimes, so I'd suggest reading into that.

Yeah it doesn't sound like a live performance to me either, but the rendition is quite nice. 

There were a lot of cool moments in the music, especially at bar 155. The mysterious free tempo feeling was just what it needed. Very Beethoven inspired, yes?

Awesome job with this, and thanks for sharing!

He supposedly "played" for free and told me he edited it on his DAW too, I still think this is better than Musescore's playback anyway.

Thanks for the feedback 🙂

I talked with him. He said he uses a midi keyboard and didn’t play the parts he had trouble playing. So he’s sort of “half playing” I suppose

It's amazing effort for you Jonathon! And what a great future meme for "half playing"! I should half compose my piece and let AI write the rest LoL...
