This piece was insane! Attempting to learn flight of the bumblebee may be one of the hardest challenges I have done to date.
This challenge marks 2 years of doing challenges. 24 challenges! A massive thank you to everyone that has supported this journey and hopefully together we can all learn more and be more :)

Man, what an intense month it was to watch and help you learn this..
It's always amazing to watch people learn their favorite song in just a few days and build up their confidence as they progress.. It was great to have you as part of our community man.
Who else is hopping aboard this 30 day piano challenge train? 👇🏼

Hey man I am going to try to learn it too. Stil deciding about the piece though, but I am going to do it for sure. I subscribed and checked many of the tutorials, they are real good.. Way to go!
@@JK-Mactep there's a ton to choose from - just make sure it's a piece of music that you love, and SCP will get you there! I'll help every step of the way👍🏼
Hopefully the two set crew doesn't find this video
Two bad we already did lol
haha
Haha bakayaro!
This sounds like a shred. He’s obviously not ready for this piece or song as he calls it
@@midnightmusic1087 I mean yeah he practice it only for a month what would you expect?
flight of the bumblebee is just fast. not really technically difficult. get some Chopin in here lol
Stephen Nguyen or Liszt 👀
IKR, the song is simple just fast, Summer Vivaldi is much harder than this as well as Fantaisie Impromptu and Clair De Lune
It's a similar technique all the way through, so if you can get a handle on the finer movements of the hand for the chromatic work, and ramp up the speed gradually, it's not as hard as you might expect! Give it a shot👍🏼
@@bbbbbbbobbbbbb nononono 😂 pls my hands are oofed
Lol
Next video : Learning all 12 transcendental etudes by liszt in one millisecond
Trust me, it’s millions of views material
Tu joue/jouais a la Xbox toi non ?
@@Keredis Lmao oui. J'imagine que mon profile picture ta fais pensé à la Xbox. Ca fait longtemps que j'ai arrêté par contre. PC master race

M r . K e r e d i s - ouais mais mon nom de xbox c’était même pas MatLaPatate lol tu me connais ou quoi ? 😅
Just wait until you hear la campanella
I’ve heard it. It’s insane.
Max Hertan, Mereaux’s 45 etude is absurd!
Why people only talk about la campanella and HR2? If you like liszt you should check out his douze grandes etudes or el contrabandista-way harder
how about Cziffra's flight of the Bumblebee
How about feux follets by liszt
I skipped directly to the end. Couldn't believe it is possible. Respect man
Thank you legend!
Me too.
This is so messy sorry max but this sound more like a shred so uneven and inconsistent. Sad how low standards are For posting music online now
Midnight Music you act as if he is branding himself as some kind of pianist. He learnt this piece in only 30 days with little piano experience. I think he did a really great job even if it’s not perfect, and honestly did you expect it to be?
Annabelle x I’m just saying that he isn’t ready for this piece. It is better to play a piece well than to play it messily. Im just saying... but love him otherwise
Was that Rousseau's video??
Believe me, he could play bumblebee with just one finger
Ha, I mastered Mary had a little lamb in a week with only 2 mistakes
Impressive
I mastered chopsticks in half a year
I mastered 4'33" in a year
Once more, Max: Great job! I admire your activities, your versatility and your perseverance. That's what I try to convey my sons.
As an academic scientist, former top athlete, multiple member of the Olympic team of my country and former "musical prodigy", who gave his first concert with 9 years I am particularly impressed by those people who perform well in various fields. Not everyone can do the backflip, not everyone can juggle (even with 5 balls), not everyone plays the violin or masters skills on the skateboard - or plays the bumble bee, if not perfectly - and in such a short time. Please continue with your activities, you are a role model for my children, and that's why we have subscribed to you.
Cat of Catamunca sounds like quite the life you are having. Thanks for sharing that with me. So glad you are enjoying watching these with your family. 😊😊
I’m in! 30 days quarantine challenge - Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, 3rd Movement: Fast & Furious!
This was really interesting to watch, but I would really enjoy watching a less overplayed piece like Rachmaninoff Prelude in C# Minor which raises harder challenges which I would call much harder than flight of the bumblebee
Thanks Jan, glad you enjoyed it. I wanted to pick a familiar piece so the audience could relate to the song but I agree if I weren’t filming I would have picked maybe a nice Beethoven :)
"less overplayed" yeah okay lol
I've played this piece for a recital and it's really overplayed.
Less overplayed......hmmmmm.
Pachabels canon in D!!!
I'm not sure you can call Bumblebee overplayed... for one, I've NEVER heard it played by anyone on a public piano.
In fact, I've never met a pianist who could play it... and I've been playing piano for almost 30 years.
But I have heard Beethoven's Appassionate 3rd movement and Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu on public piano.
I'm 55. Started playing on and off since when I was 7. Im no master.
This piece to date I have yet to learn.
I'm impressed
Well done
Where the two seters
BTW FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLE BEE IS NIT THE HARDEST PEICE IN THE PIANO REPOUTOR
Chopin and liszt the bane of pianist
@@judygambel2801 don't forget rach owo
@@giraffodil436 silly me how could i forgot TwT
Chopin: Am i a joke to you?
It's not even close, even if people are talking about the cziffra version
How can anyone actually dislike this video? 🙄🙄🙄
I'd like to see them try play this piece!!!
so, basically you are clueless, and i mean this in the nicest possible way. This is not that hard of a piece if you practice simple chromatic scales you could learn this in a day. It is not a good idea to learn from midi files. Glad you’re informed now:):)
@@justinzlabys5260 I'm sorry but that is based on opinion, I'm self taught so actually that would be really hard for me!
Superb! Great Job man.. Next challenge could be trying to learn to code.
Thanks Nandish! I’ve thought about this challenge. I’m not sure how visually appealing it would be but it’s something I’m open to. Python language? Or Ruby?
@@MaxsMonthlyChallenge Max Hertan i would suggest to go with python. You can take the reference from josh kaufman's The First 20 hours in which he has described how he learns to code in 20 hours. He has explained it using ruby on rails. 😊
@@MaxsMonthlyChallenge python great. Would recommend that as first language always
Now El Contrabandista. You can do it . I believe in you.
Too easy try again
Nice one.
the biggest challenge to learning this piece, is the burning patience you have to have with your fingers not wanting to go a hundred miles an hour. the wrist and arms should always be smooth and stress free. once you tense up, you need to slow down. the slower you go, the faster you'll learn. it would have been great if you would have worked on the dynamics of the piece from the beginning because even though you play it slow (which is amazing for 30 days) with good dynamic character it would bring it more to life.
I heard Torrent Etude by Chopin is super easy, you should try it!!
😜👏🏻
I'll chime in about hand tension. I'm working on a Schubert piece that's begging to inflame/destroy my carpal tunnel, but I'm taking exquisite, exhausting care to learn those passages with zero tension in my hands, which is taking about 20x longer than it would to just force those passages with tense fingers. The real challenge of the bumblebee is to develop the suppleness to play the chromatic work with a quiet hand, which would take you years to really do well. I admit I'm tempted (and just ordered a copy of this) but I fear it will be years before I can do it any justice, and I'm an amateur but have played with an orchestra etc. We'll see....
I like how you had the dedication to do this everyday for a month, like many others that commented before it would be beneficial to your future videos if you remind yourself to relax when playing. Just like in sports, playing a musical instrument requires warming up and being attentive towards dynamics, articulation, phrasing and I reckon you did a pretty good job learning the notes! The next step of improvement would be to add in phrasing and dynamics - usually on sheet music it is labelled where the composer/editor wants you to express.
If you would’ve had more time you could’ve played it faster but 30 days and you did that? Thats really impressive, I’ve been playing the piano for 2 years myself and can do only the beginning
For 30 days great achievement👍👌
Ahaha hahaha, That s me when I study the piano! It s not easy at all, but when you look at the professional pianists, they make it so easy
Scales in octaves, tenths, thirds, and sixths would have helped
Lmao who the hell plays scales in 10ths
7:04 ”If yOu CaN pLaY iT sLoWlY, yOu CaN pLaY iT qUiCkLy”
You should try etude op10 no1
👏 bravo
OMG you do it good job I'm doing this challenge but moon light sonata 3rd movement as beginner so it may be a little bit hard so wish me the best
A truly legendary challenge, possibly your most impressive one yet
Thanks Al! It was a beast of a piece.
Guy on the video: Don't expect to learn this on a month, no.
Max: Are you challenging me?
Very impressive! Great persistence and beautiful result.
Thanks Mum :)
Sacrilegious Boi
i notice that you are thinking what are you going to press next in your left hand . just enjoy the music
So congratulaton you have prooven that you can't play it right after just one month. Anyway really good job if you have spend ony 30 days to get to that point. That pease is really hard and now I know why is used as proove of masterry. Really good job congratualtions.
Good job, now try winter wind by Chopin.........
😜
Or maybe liszt études d'execution transcendente d apres paganini no 4 th-cam.com/video/uoudt6eApKo/w-d-xo.html
On a serious note, great job man
Tip practice going with your fingers thumb and middle finger together then pointer finger and ring finger together then middle finger and pinky finger together and practice that so you’re fingers don’t hurt a lot with out lifting your fingers
Thanks apiano.
this... blew... my... MIND. wow
You have become better at piano in 30 days than I have in a year.
every pianist burning inside rn with there lizst mazzeppa
**sheet music exists**
people nowadays: Let's play via TH-cam
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Big respect for u max u learned "flight of the bumblebee" for like 30 days :0
Nice work!
I didn't know you were Aussie! Hell yeah!
🥳😊 thanks Elijah!
It's your all time greatest
You are amazing, that was awesome!!
👏🏻🙌
Next video: "I learnt the 12 Trancendental etudes In a week"
Well flight of the bumblebee is not hard... just fast, but for not being a pianist and play it like that in 30 days is actually good :0
@victor lbelles Mx thank you for educating the general public
I'm super surprised that you didn't learn it from sheet music. Wow!
Next up: Learning Paganini/Liszt etude no.6 in a month!
Flight of the Bumblebee :*exists*
Chopin:
AM I A JOKE TO YOU ?!
We need to get TwoSetViolin here. Another sacrilegious boi
Me: Plays piano for 3 years
Him: Thirty days and already wayyyy better than me.
Holy heck. good job bro. this is something that would take more than a year to even be fast enough to play. i think you should try doing the 3rd movement of the moonlight sonata. :))))) good job tho
where did you get the program that you are using
what is the keyboard he's using?
So cool! Awesome job Max
Thank you! 👏🏻🙌
Max Hertan can’t wait to see you revisiting old challenges too
It’ll be a fun one :)
mE @nD dA sAcraLigious boiS playing flighT oF da BumblebEeeee
Cramming for a test the night before, in a nutshell.
Hat's off!
Now play Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 with just using your 8 fingers and a mouse disturbing you while playing
how long have you been playing?
If you find people posting weird memes such as “Ling Ling”, or “practice 40 hours a day”, or ”sacrilegious”, etc, it’s probably the subscribers of TwoSetViolin, which you should probably also check out
haha thank you! Yes, I have now since watched TwoSet and enjoyed the video :)
@@MaxsMonthlyChallenge I'm gald you like it :)
Nice seek discomfort shirt ! :)
What keyboard is that plz
Please practice on musical phrases
Alessio Lena I don’t think he knows that concept yet
MedievalWarfare right
Man! Amazing! 💙
I can see how someone would think that flight of the bumblebee is the hardest piano song... difficulty of course being subjective, I like to think there are plenty of songs harder, such as Apassionata 3rd Movement
This was what I face while learning hungarian rhapsody no 2 as I'm a self taught
What's up with your wrist?
AmaZing!!, where the two setters here?
subscribed
You relate too much on your fingers, no wonder you get tired quickly and can’t really get that nice sound out of the piano. You should also use your body when playing! Trust me, if you learn to to that, it’ll make you stand out!
Well done. Ur headstrong 👏👏❤️
Try Rondo Alla Turka by Mozart you’ll have a challenge
Viz it isn’t the hardest piece in my opinion but it still takes a lot of time to master!
Turkish March by Mozart is easy what
wow that is impresine
This man just proved that Clair de Lune is harder than Flight of the Bumblebee
Ahahaha Ben Lee.
La Campanella- Am I a joke to you?
That is impressive
well flight of bumble bee isn't a impossible piece
12234266 colin It's not supposed to be
Is that a Casio Piano? And which one exactly? 🤔
The cheapest one with full sized keys :)
1.5 Speed sounds really original
Liszt's Fuex Follets next?
DUUUUUUUUUUDE YOU SOUND LIKE MODEST PELICAN WHAT THE HECC
Wow
I thought he the tutorial said "this is the hardest thing I've ever ATE" INSTEAD OF MADE
Wait till you hear Chopin's etude op 25 no 11 Winter Wind
Try minute waltz
My man used Rousseua as an example
As a pianist: this interpretation is far from perfect. but wow, you learnt this in a month, with your hardest piece being claire de lune. This is honestly super impressive.
Thank you 👏🏻
Hmmm.... that’s not that impressive! Flight of the bumblebee isn’t really harder than Clair de lune. In fact, if you had practiced only the chromatic scale the first week, you would have found the whole thing very easy because that’s just play the chromatic scale up and down
@@octavearevian5589 Fair point, although it is a much faster piece, and having no expirience in that type of stuff I still feel it's worth a clap or two.
Hydro0 GD That’s true , but in the same time he should be reprimanded for the way he practiced which could have led to serious injuries. And the way he practiced will influence many people to do so and that’s really something they should avoid. So that he did it is nice, but the fact that he posted it , showing the way he practiced while he was not technically ready in front thousands of people should be blamed , because that may lead some of his subscribers to hurt themselves.
@@octavearevian5589True.
please find a way to relax. Your hand hurting after tension is very bad, you are at risk of getting an injury. I played intensely like you and I ended up getting Repetitive Strain Injury, which still hasn't gone, it has been there for 3 months. I had to miss my young musician competition, which was really painful, so if your arm hurts, stop, don't keel going. PLEASE see this.
Thanks for the tip! I was careful to rest the hand and the pain went down after the first few days. By the end it flared up with a little too much practice but I agree it’s important to be safe!
Lady Etude
That’s a nice comment for you to leave, wanting him to be safe and not hurt himself:)
I had this condition for 3 years now. :((
Look after those hands/wrists. If you develop an injury it can mean you can never do a challenge like this again.
No piano injury is that serious lol. You're not going to break your wrist or tear a ligament. Worst casrnerio, you'll develop pretty bad tendinitis, and you'll have to take a month off
30 days? Nah. But you know all the notes now, I'd urge you to keep practising and maybe 2 months from now it'll almost sound flawless.
Obligatory: if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly
If YoU CaN PLay It SloWLy YoU cAN PlAy iT QuiCKly
Twoset !!
Obligatory : from Chopin Himself : if you can play it slowmy you can't always play quickly
There are some difficults songs that need to be learned at high speed, because some things don't work from down speed to high speed. I mean if you dont have some easyness to change the way you play your pieces, you will be stuck in a way of playing that won't let you put emotions or flow in your interpretatilns (General advice)
JoJo LeTyran It was a reference to a channel called twoset violin, and it was just a joke. They dont actually believe this quote
@@jojoletyran447 r/woooosh
this guy took more than a month to make this video
pay respect
I love how you put in the effort over MONTHS to learn Debussy and then didn't bother putting on pants, or a real shirt when you finally recorded it lol
Haha, it got to 6 months and I was like... I gotta get this done ASAP so I can move on :)
Im actually wowed i have tried many times to achieve something as close as what you've done but always failed but after viewing ur video i might give it another shot, cheers man!
That is what this channel is all about!
ALPHA please don‘t do that, his hands were so uptight i couldn‘t watch it cause it hurts so much to watch, this isn‘t hate or anything but please don‘t try it. Train scales! And the best thing would be to play something not overplayed
@@eternal.guidance_ any melodies/songs in mind ?
ALPHA do u want to play classical/romatic pieces or modern music?
@@eternal.guidance_ im into any genre that would be possible to play within 2/3 months although the more a piece is colorful if you know what i mean i enjoy it
him: takes lots of practice and hard work in a month to learn this
his comment section: tHiS pieCe iS eAsY
:)
I don't think he took enough practice actually, because if he had an instructor/teacher, he could've just practiced the chromatic scales and be able to play it cleanly and at the correct tempo at the same amount of time.
whο knοws?? well he did have a teacher
@@lrthy lol I'd prolly not classify that guy as a decent teacher but whatever
whο knοws?? what if*****
Just a tip for anyone playing/starting piano, please do not do what he is doing, learning from synthesia is very bad not to mention very dangerous, also, get a teacher, PLEASE! just on the 3rd day he said that his arm started to seize up, this is do to bad technique and can lead to serious permanent damage, also, learn scales, if you know how to play a chromatic scale correctly you can learn this in piece in one day.
People can learn piano however they want. Everyone has their own approach that all have strengths and drawbacks. I personally had a piano teacher for a while back when I was a kid, and it was shit. I wish I never had one. I didn’t learn anything that couldn’t have learned faster online.
Hes ignoring the notations it is like a kid playing
I do remember having a teacher. The teacher and piano were cool. Nothing else. The pieces I learned were shit. After my mom made me leave piano lessons for an unknown reason, I picked up piano a few years later. That was much better. Since I had the teacher for about a year, I knew most of the stuff you needed to know about sheet music. The basics like treble and bass. I didn’t learn a lot about sharps and flats, so I learned more about piano online. It was better than I imagined. I used some synthesia for a little while in the beginning, but I started to use sheets more, and I got better and better. It’s fun
@@horationelson1840 Yeah okay, there isn't a single fully self taught pianist i know of that doesn't sound like actual garbage, what allows you to get better is working the stuff that is boring instead of trying to skip through all training of technique, reading sheets, intonation, scales and so on and just playing "insanely hard" pieces and sounding like trash. as i said before, if he knew scales, he would have learned this in a day, knowing even basic technique and knowing how to read sheets will let you progress and learn pieces much much faster, even if it seems slow and boring at first. Also, there is absolutely no advantage to learning without a teacher.
@Benjamin Bogle - Pursuing Progress I am not at all mad, all i am saying is that getting a teacher is just about essential if you take music seriously, of course there will be some people who learn through the internet and sound alright, but having someone that knows what they are doing guiding will help so so much, as i said before, if he had actually been taught basic scales this would have been easy for him, i'm not mad about what he accomplished but as a classical musician i don't want these videos to be how piano is portrayed as it encourages a bad way of taking on music. i want people to succeed and learning pieces through synthesia is a terrible way to learn.
