Hello to all of you Patreon people!
First of all, I'm actually done with a video a couple days before my Monday deadline! I've been working on so many things simultaneously for so many months that I never seem to be able to work ahead long enough, but today...I have a video ready a whole 2 days-ish early. Amazing!
Anyway, this video was originally supposed to be kind of a "filler" video meant to bide my time in between more substantive videos, but like basically everything that starts as filler, I couldn't help but start adding more and more until it became a full fledged video essay. It actually could have been a lot more, too!
In this video, I explore what virtuosity even is, and why we should care what the most difficult piece of music is. I give my best guess as to what I personally think it is, and some reasons why that may be.
Hope you guys enjoy!
Adam
