Rush B
The sequel to Rush E, a few steps lower – the title says which key. Every bit as deliberately over the top as the original.

How difficult is it?
Built like Rush E: runs across the whole keyboard at a tempo that was never meant for two hands. Hardly anyone plays it in full.
The real hurdle
Simplified versions exist, and here they are not a retreat but the only sensible route. The original is made to be watched, not practised.
How long does it take?
A simplified version in weeks. The original is not a practice goal but a stunt.
A rule of thumb, not a rule – how fast it goes depends on prior experience and practice time. This level is an assessment, not a measurement: most pieces exist in arrangements ranging from heavily simplified to concert level. The rating refers to the common arrangement.
Which instrument suits it?
Needs the full 88 keys and an action that keeps up with fast repetition. Shorter keyboards cut off exactly the edges that matter.
