Rush Piggies
The third part of the Rush series, this time over a tune from an online game. The joke is the same: a simple melody with the accompaniment escalating underneath.

How difficult is it?
The melody is plain, everything under it is not. As with its siblings the difficulty is in the number of notes, not their difficulty.
The real hurdle
To learn it, start with the melody and leave the accompaniment out at first. The other way round you give up after a week.
How long does it take?
Melody with simple accompaniment in two to four weeks. The original stays a spectator sport.
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?
88 keys and an action for fast repetition. Without both the arrangement collapses.
