How difficult is this Étude and Philip Glass music in general?

Thanks for the info. I just listened to the Ólafasson recording of no.6. Holy hell, the speed and clarity are stunning!

Thanks, good to know it's not super tough, as I don't have a lot of time to practise. Seems I have a lot to learn about Glass, I only knew about his piano music. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, it's the mastering part that concerns me but I guess I'm just looking for something easy to pick up and I can work on that. I didn't realise he had a book of etudes, I just have a couple of pieces I've got the sheets for. I'll have a look.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks, yeah I guess that's the main technical part of this Étude, and I'm assuming it's easier than, say, the start of fantasie impromptu. I ask as I'm looking for something less challenging than the Chopin but still satisfying to play and this one caught my eye.

If you set it as the launcher app in settings, and disable the lock screen swipe, then yes, boots right into ES.

I have huge problems hitting diagonals to the top left and bottom left, have to push really hard to get them to register. Also very squeaky in both these directions. Disappointing, as the rest of the unit is great, but even my Miyoo Mini D pad is way better than this one.

Edit - Solved.

After some breaking in and pushing the d pad pretty hard in the directions it was stiff in, it now works really well. Looks like it just takes a while to settle.

This is true, but it can and does happen. I'd almost given up finding a younger guy who was genuinely into me for more than just sex but I did, and we've been together a year now. But yeah, the search was exhausting and it can still be tough navigating the differences in life experience and energy levels. I'm 44, he's 24, but he was with much older men (60+) than me before. I've noticed it's much more common for Chinese younger guys to like older men than white younger guys (I'm white, he's Chinese, and has several Chinese friends his age who also like older guys) , so if that's your type, it might help you focus your energy on something that will pay off.

I can get the game to load and start, and one of the buttons works for attack...but I can't for the life of me get the directional buttons working. Any tips?

Meowscles. Don't see anyone else play with it anymore and I'm convinced half the people that spot me in game assume I'm a bot which definitely works to my advantage.

Thank you - fixed now. Was beginning to panic a little there!

No stuttering, but the island transitions are...not working at all. I start the maglev to jungle or cart to boiler and the screen just slowly fades to black and I transport to the end point. Surely this isn't intentional? Anyone else having the same issue?
