Turkish March (Rondo alla Turca)
You need a MIDI keyboard and Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Opera on a desktop or laptop. Not Safari, not iPad, because Apple does not support Web MIDI. Full requirements.
Relentless rather than spiky
2,819 notes in 3:10. What is unusual is how close the average sits to the peak: 14.8 notes per second on average against a peak of 16.8. The busiest 25 seconds of the Turkish March is barely busier than the rest of it.
Most pieces are not like that. Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 peaks at 29.6 and averages 12.9, a spread of 2.3 times against this piece's 1.1, because it has a slow opening and a fast finish. The Turkish March has no slow section to recover in. It starts, it runs, it ends.
You can see it in the piano roll: an even wall of notes from the first bar to the last, with no thin patches. That is why it is tiring rather than frightening. Nothing in it is harder than anything else in it, and there is nowhere to rest.
The hands are evenly loaded
The notes split 54 percent right hand to 46 percent left, which is close to even for a piece with a melody this prominent. The left hand is not accompanying quietly, it is working. Learn one hand at a time against the recording and you will find the left is more than you expected.
At tier 4 the chords get bigger than Für Elise's two notes per hand, but the hands do not have to leap. The famous closing section, the one with the rolling octaves, is the part that reads hardest on the roll and the part most people slow down for.
Playing it here
Practice mode holds the chart until you play each note, which is the way through the octave passages. Rhythm mode runs at 151 bpm and does not wait.
