## Trivia

In Master tour, players need to clear Summer, Mov. III from "The Four Seasons" to unlock this stage.

## Difficulty

While many players may not recognize how hard this stage is since the first half is filled of with single notes and long notes, the true difficulty comes from the second half which is filled with streams of single notes coming at a fast pace. The streams of single notes get harder after each stream and they also seem to come in no order or pattern, which confuses several intermediate players.

Be careful of the fake ending as well, there's a little part after it and players may fail the stage if they do not expect another section.

Overall, the difficulty of this stage comes from many parts of the gameplay itself. Some parts feature tricky patterns like the beginning, while the ending requiring players to slide a lot in order to clear multiple glissandos at one time.

Despite all the things above, this stage is on medium to hard difficulty, once again, because of the length of the music.
Arrival of the Queen of Sheba

Arrival of the Queen of Sheba is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 41st stage in Standard Tour.

In Master tour, players need to clear Caprice No. 24 (Franz Liszt) to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Ruslan and Lyudmila.

## Difficulty

This stage shares many similarities with Revolutionary Etude. In fact, it is easier due to shorter gameplay, so advices on Chopin's stage can also be applied on this stage, no matter what difficulty it is. Avoid missing on Master and paying attention to the accuracy are advices to complete this stage easily.

## Trivia

* Before v2.2.0 update, this stage has Normal 5 difficulty.

In Master tour, players need to clear 12 Variations on "Ah, vous dirai-je maman" to unlock this stage.

## Difficulty

Generally, the stage's main gimmick is single notes in a moderately fast speed. Lots of single notes appear in this stage, but some of them are quite simple and does not require speed or flexibility. The middle section is the hardest section since the single tiles are arranged in a slightly complex way which are followed by unexpected multiple-tap patterns in a moderately fast speed. Some long notes and glissandos are also there as well and they come in smaller but significant amounts.

## Trivia

This is one of the two Special Stages in Pianista that do not reward 5  like any other Special Stages (the other stage is In the Hall of the Mountain King)
Sonata Pathetique, Mov. I

Miss 2Scores 970,000

In Master tour, players need to clear Songs Without Words, Op. 67: No. 4 in C major to unlock this stage.

## Difficulty

Unlike Mendelssohn's stage where the difficulty is stable throughout the gameplay, this stage's difficulty ascends slowly but steeply. Players can feel the rise in difficulty when the pairs of notes are coming faster and faster. After that, lots of single notes appear, mixed with glissandos and long notes as well. But everything becomes ultra hard at the end of the stage, where the speed becomes even faster, and players have to fasten themselves to catch up with the notes.

Be extremely careful, especially during the later half of this gameplay. Getting the combo requirement is already hard, getting the score requirement is even harder.

Camille Saint-Saens is a composer in the game Pianista.

## Biography (In-game)

He was notable for his pioneering efforts on behalf of French music, and he was a gifted pianist and organist as well as a writer of criticism, poetry, essays, and plays. Of his concerti and symphonies, in which he adapted the virtuosity of Franz Liszt's style to French traditions of harmony and form, his Symphony No. 3 (Organ) is most often performed. Saint-Saens held only one teaching post, at the Ecole de Musique Classique et Religieuse in Paris, and remained there for less than five years. It was nevertheless important in the development of French music. Though he lived through the period of Wagner's influence, Saint-Saens remained unaffected by it and adhered to the classical models, upholding a conservative ideal of French music that emphasized polished craftsmanship and a sense of form. In his essays and memoirs, he described the contemporary musical scene in a shrewd and often ironic manner.
Grande Jatte

## Description

The painting on this piano is "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" by George Seuraat, created from 1884 to 1886.

Harmonic Triangle

Johannes Brahms

Antonin Dvorak

Felix Mendelssohn

Harmonic Triangle is the name of a music pack in the game Pianista.

Announcement about the addition of this pack was posted at 9.00 UTC on July 8th, 2020, on the official Facebook page of Superb. The pack was fully added to the game at 9.00 UTC two days later, which is July 10th, 2020.

## Main features

All 5 pieces in this pack are Piano Trios, as stated both in the music pack's name and each of the stage's name.

About the difficulty, although it does not look that hard since there's only 1 Technical 8 stage by Mendelssohn, the Technical 7 stage by Brahms seems harder than expected.

## Trivia

* There has been an unusual 16-week gap between the release of Romantic Times and this pack, probably due to the pandemic situation.
* This is the second music pack to focus on a specific musical form, which is piano trio. The others are Concerto Grandioso, The Harbinger, Concerto Grandioso 2, The Art of Sonata, and Violin Concerto.
Anvil Chorus from "Il Trovatore"

Anvil Chorus from "Il Trovatore" is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 34th stage in Standard Tour.

In Master tour, players need to clear Suite Bergamasque, IV. Passepied to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Waltz, Op. 39, No. 15.

## Difficulty

Forgetting about the misses that might happen in the first try in either Light, Normal, or Technical difficulty, this piece is easier than some players think it is.

However, everything is different in Master. Even though score requirement is not too high, the miss limitation seems to block many players from completing the stage. Players either should practice a lot in Technical to avoid misses, or simply use pianos which have shield bonuses.

## Trivia

* Before v2.2.0 update, this stage has Normal 4 difficulty.
* The codename of this stage is Il Trovatore - The Anvil Chorus
The Carnival of the Animals: XIV. Finale

Miss 2Scores 970,000

The Carnival of the Animals: XIV. Finale is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 5th stage in Compilation of Ensemble 4.

In Master tour, players need to clear Prelude from "Carmen Suite No. 1" to unlock this stage.

## Difficulty

Stated as a Technical ? stage, it is not that hard as players may expected. There is a truly hard part, however, which is the really fast single notes at the middle of the gameplay. Players may want to practice Flight of the Bumblebee (Rimsky-Korsakov) or Transcendental Etude, IV. Mazeppa to practice.

This is arguably the easiest Technical ? in the game, with the hardest patterns to pull off being quick staircase patterns and the note spam in the middle of the gameplay.

Besides this part, most of the stages are, again, covered in glissandos. The glissandos come in a large variety of patterns. This is also an advantage when playing on Master tour. Remember not to miss, then players will clear this stage, and the whole pack.
Three Marches Militaires, No. 1

Three Marches Militaires, No. 1 is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 35th stage in Standard Tour.

In Master tour, players need to clear Winter from "The Four Seasons" to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Mov. IV.

## Difficulty

In Technical and Master difficulty, the hardest features of this stage are the multiple-tap patterns which regularly appear throughout the stage. This stage is quite tricky since the multiple-tap patterns are combined with fast music. Players need to watch their accuracy in Master because the gameplay is not that long and if players do not do well, they might not reach the score requirement.

## Trivia

* Before v2.2.0 update, this stage has Normal 4 difficulty.
* The codename of this stage is Marche Militaire Op.51, D.733 March No.1
Prelude in C sharp minor, Op. 3 No. 2

Prelude in C sharp minor, Op. 3 No. 2 is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 4th stage in Compilation of Keyboard 5.

In Master tour, players need to clear Un Sospiro to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Etudes, Op. 10, No. 4.

## Difficulty

The difficulty will slowly rise throughout the whole gameplay. Slow and calm beginning with only holding tiles will soon be replaced with multiple single and short holding tiles coming in fast speed, followed by complex patterns of single notes, before ending with holding tiles like the beginning.

Unlike the previous stage where the only target seems to be avoid missing, players now need to pay attention to accuracy as well, due to the fact that max combo of this stage is really low.
Slavonic Dances, Op. 46, B. 78, No. 7

Slavonic Dances, Op. 46, B. 78, No. 7 is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 32nd stage in Standard Tour.

In Master tour, players need to clear Piano Sonata No. 3, Op. 5, Mov. I to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Minuet, BWV Anh. 114.

## Difficulty

This stage serves as an introduction to the harder Technical 7 stages in the Standard Tour. The difficulty of this stage increases throughout the gameplay. Most of this stage is just small groups of 3 single notes. Several larger groups exist in the second half of the gameplay. Players may struggle with this stage in Master due to its high score requirement. Practicing this stage until you can get a score high enough for Master difficulty is a must for players.

## Trivia

* Before v2.2.0, this stage was mistakenly named Slavonic Dances Op. 35, B. 78, No. 7.
* The codename of this stage is Slavonic Dance Op.46, B.78, No.7 In C Minor "Skocna"
Piano Trio No. 2 in E-flat major, Op. 100

Piano Trio No. 2 in E-flat major, Op. 100 is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 1st stage in Harmonic Triangle.

In Master tour, clearing this stage will unlock Piano Trio in G major, Mov. II.

## Difficulty

Overall, this stage is easy. In the first half of the gameplay, several glissandos will appear but it is quite easy since the music is really slow and calm. The speed is a little bit faster at the second half but it is still not too hard for beginners.
Fantasie in C major, D. 760, Mov. IV

Fantasie in C major, D. 760, Mov. IV is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 3rd stage in Virtuoso.

In Master tour, players need to clear Sonata No. 20 in G major, Op. 49 No. 2 to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Scherzo in B-flat minor Op. 31.

## Difficulty

Generally, this stage is harder than the previous stage but not a lot. The middle section requires players to tap single notes in similar speed with Black Key Etude. Other than that, the beginning and the ending has double notes, coming with both long notes, single notes, or mixed, along with some multiple taps specifically at the ending.

If players can clear Chopin's Black Key Etude then it is certain that players can also clear this, even in Master.

## Trivia

* In a short time after the release of Virtuoso, players have reported about a bug where opening this stage in League will instead plays Der Erlkonig. This is due to the fact that Der Erlkonig is not actually completely removed from the game. This bug was fixed shortly after the reports.
* Before Schubert - The Essential, this stage's name was simply Fantasie in C major, D. 760.
Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, Mov. I

Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, Mov. I is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 3rd stage in Compilation of Keyboard 2.

In Master tour, players need to clear In the Hall of the Mountain King to unlock this stage.

## Difficulty

There is a reason why this stage's difficulty in Technical is 8. The second half of the gameplay requires players' fast reaction to the patterns and the speed as well. Once players have control of that part players can clear this easily.

This stage is put after a harder stage in Master, so players should not have much trouble clearing this once the previous stage is cleared, which is In the Hall of the Mountain King.

## Trivia

* Before the addition of Concerto Grandioso pack, this stage's name was Piano Concerto, Op. 16, Mov. I.
* Although not being a Special Stage, probably due to the position in Master Tour, this stage's reward is 5  instead of 1
Requiem: Dies Irae

Requiem: Dies Irae is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 3rd stage in Compilation of Ensemble 4.

In Master tour, players need to clear Chanson du Toreador from "Carmen Suite No. 2" to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Prelude from "Carmen Suite No. 1".

## Difficulty

The pace of this stage is very fast. There are still some hopes as well, such as most of the gameplay are glissandos, length of gameplay is not too long. The true trouble here comes from fast single note patterns, even though they are not complex, they are fast, and they are easily missed if players cannot tap fast enough.

Due to the large amount of glissandos, score requirement in Master is not a problem anymore. Instead, trying not to miss might be the harder task in order to clear this stage.
2nd Anniversary (piano)

## 2nd Anniversary

*You might be searching the music pack of the same name.*

2nd Anniversary is the name of a piano in the game Pianista.

## Description

The whole piano is covered in crystal-like pattern, as its other name, Crystal, suggested. The main color of this piano is white, however some gray/silver and black spots can be seen.

## Obtaining

This piano is only obtainable during 2nd Anniversary 3rd Event, lasted from 15th of June, 2019 to 30th of June, 2019. Players need to log in during this time and claim the piano.
March from "The Nutcracker"

March from "The Nutcracker" is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 19th stage in Standard Tour.

In Master tour, players need to clear Nocturne to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Serenade from "Swan Song".

## Difficulty

March-style music with fast middle part, in this case, is an element for a medium-hard stage. In Technical difficulty, complex patterns may appear but rarely, so stay focus everytime.

Combining with 1 miss limitation in Master difficulty, this stage is a total nightmare for beginners and unexperienced intermediate players. Lots of practice is suggested.

## Trivia

* Before v2.2.0, this stage has Normal 5 difficulty
* Before 1st Anniversary update, this stage's name is The Nutcracker, Op. 71.
Annen-Polka, Op. 117

In Master tour, players need to clear Zigeunerweisen, Op. 20 to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock An Der Schonen Blauen Donau, Op. 314.

## Difficulty

Surprisingly, this stage is easier than the previous one due to the slow speed of the music and less complicated patterns. The hardest part of this stage is the finale where multiple triple-taps have to be tapped correctly.

However, score requirement for this stage is really high (990,000), so a large amount of accurate taps are required since this is also a short stage.
String Quintet in E major, G. 275 "Minuetto"

String Quintet in E major, G. 275 "Minuetto" is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 1st stage in 2nd Anniversary.

In Master tour, clearing this stage will unlock Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Mov. I.

## Difficulty

Generally this is an easy-medium stage. One thing to keep in mind, that is the pace of the second half of gameplay is faster than the first one. The majority of second half is double notes, but they are not really a trouble here.
Symphony No. 1, Op. 55, II. Allegro molto

Symphony No. 1, Op. 55, II. Allegro molto is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 4th stage in Master of Arpeggios.

## Difficulty

This stage has fast single notes throughout the entire gameplay with some long notes or long notes mixed with single notes and glissandos. Therefore, players should have fast reaction to deal with the gameplay's speed. After clearing the stage, it will not be that hard as expected.

However, around 4 days later, or 6 days counting from the announcement day, a patch is arrived, fixing Bach's piece's name.

## Main features

Nothing too much special about this pack, except the fact that all pieces used in this pack are all written in minor keys. One thing many players may not recognize yet, that is all stages used in this pack are originally concert-relating, with exception of Schubert's stage (which is an accompaniment between arpeggione/cello and piano).

About the difficulty, this is a typical stage with moderate difficulty for intermediate players. However, most players who have experienced this pack all reports about the long length of each stages.

## Trivia

In Master tour, players need to clear Valse Romantique to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Swan Lake, Op. 20.

## Difficulty

The stage is relatively not too easy, but not too hard either. Some random fast single note patterns may appear regularly, but once being familiar with it, no problem with the stage.

On Master difficulty, score requirement is pretty low, so it is just slightly harder than Technical diificulty.

## Trivia

The codename of this stage is Trumpet Concerto in Eb major - 1st movement
The Art of Oboe

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Johann Sebastian Bach

Antonio Vivaldi

The Art of Oboe is the name of a music pack in the game Pianista.

Announcement about the addition of this pack was posted at 9.00 UTC on November 25th, 2020, on the official Facebook page of Superb. The pack was fully added to the game at 9.00 UTC two days later, which is November 27th, 2020.

## Main features

As the name suggests, all stages included in this pack are oboe-relating musical pieces in real life.

However, from the community's point of view, this pack has nothing near great difficulty, not even the final stage. Because of this, advanced players may find this music pack boring, while beginners can see this as a good start in completing easy and medium packs.

## Trivia

* This is the last music pack released in 2020. In fact, had the next music pack (Tchaikovsky - The Essential) followed 5-week release schedule, it could have been the final pack had the *release announcement* in 2020, since estimated release date was on Friday, January 1st of 2021.
* This is the second pack focus on a specific instrument included in compositions (in this case, an oboe), the first pack is The Art of Cello.
In the Hall of the Mountain King

Miss 2Scores 975,000

In the Hall of the Mountain King is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 5th stage in Compilation of Keyboard 2.

In Master tour, players need to clear 12 Etudes, Op. 8, No. 12 to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, Mov. I.

## Difficulty

The difficulty, the music, the pace, and probably the anxiety of players will increase throughout the whole gameplay. At some point around at the middle, players can feel the difficulty is steadily rising, but once players reach around 500 combo (in Technical), which is also the combo requirement in Technical tour, the gameplay is at its hardest part, challenging the stamina, flexibility, and speed of player.

Lots of practice may be required in order to clear Master stage as well.

## Trivia

This is one of the two Special Stages in Pianista that do not reward 5  like any other Special Stages (the other stage is Sonata Pathetique, Mov. III), which is explainable due to the position difference between Master difficulty and other difficulties.
Les Barricades Mysterieuses

Les Barricades Mysterieuses is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 1st stage in The Barocophile.

In Master tour, clearing this stage will unlock A New Ground, Z. T682.

## Difficulty

There are not much things to discuss about this stage. A small advice here, that is watch out for sudden triple glissandos. Besides this, nothing else.

Obviously, players need an amount of accuracy to meet score requirement, and miss only once, preferably no miss, in Master.
Schubert - The Essential

Schubert - The Essential is the name of a music pack in the game Pianista.

Announcement about the addition of this pack was posted at 9.00 UTC on September 16th, 2020, on the official Facebook page of Superb. The pack was fully added to the game at 9.00 UTC two days later, which is September 18th, 2020.

## Main features

All 5 stages in this pack are from Schubert, as the name of the pack suggested, in similar pattern with Mendelssohn - The Essential and Tchaikovsky - The Essential.

The stages have decent difficulties as they are not too easy nor too hard, therefore they are suitable for intermediate players.

## Trivia

* This is the second music pack featuring only 1 composer, the first one is Mendelssohn - The Essential and the third one is Tchaikovsky - The Essential. Also, these 3 packs are the only packs containing "The Essential" in their names.
* Starting from this pack, the score requirement system in Master is kept unchanged for each stages in each pack: 975,000 for 1st stage, 970,000 for 2nd, 4th, and 5th stage, and 965,000 for 3rd stage. Prior to this pack, score requirement for 3rd stage is 970.000 while 4th is 965.000.
Gioachino Antonio Rossini

(1792 - 1868)

William Tell Overture: Finale

Largo Al Factotum from "The Barber of Seville"

Gioachino Antonio Rossini is a composer in the game Pianista.

## Biography (In-game)

He was an Italian composer noted for his operas, particularly his comic operas, of which The Barber of Seville and Semiramide are among the best known. Born in Pesaro, the son of a trumpeter and a singer, Rossini began to compose as a child. During the next 20 years, He wrote more than 40 operas for the stage that were performed in Venice, Milan, Ferrara, Naples and elsewhere. He set new standards for both comic and serious opera before retiring from large-scale composition.

12 Etudes, Op. 8, No. 12

12 Etudes, Op. 8, No. 12 is the name of a stage in the game Pianista. It is located as the 4th stage in Compilation of Keyboard 2.

In Master tour, players need to clear Valse, Op. 1 to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock In the Hall of the Mountain King.

## Difficulty

Do not judge this stage by its difficulty number and the first half of the gameplay. Lots of multiple-tap patterns will appear at the second half, making this stage a lot harder than expected. With that being said, this is definitely not a Technical 5 stage. The multiple-tap patterns cause many novice players fail in Master tour, due to missing more than once so practice may be required.

## Trivia

This stage was first mistakenly named as "12 Etudes, Op. 8, No. 8"
Bacchanale from "Samson et Dalila, Op. 47"

Miss 2Scores 980,000

In Master tour, players need to clear Brindisi from "La Traviata" to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Arabesque No. 1.

## Difficulty

As the stage proceeds, it will become faster and have more complex note structures through time, including fast 3-tap patterns appear regularly at the later half. But overall this is not a hard stage, it's slightly easier than March from "The Nutcracker" so once completed it, this stage should also be cleared easily, even with combo/score requirement.

## Trivia

* This stage's position in every difficulty (20) is the same.
* The codename of this stage is Bacchanale from Opera "Samson et Dalila" Op.47 (Act III / Scene II)
* This stage has the lowest Normal combo requirement in the whole game, which is 98.

The end is full of fast double notes and multiple-tap patterns that should be remembered.

This is still easier than the other Technical 7 stages in the Standard Tour but players need to practice at least once to clear this stage in Master.

In Master tour, players need to clear Spring from "The Four Seasons" to unlock this stage, and clearing this stage will unlock Moonlight, Mov. III.

## Difficulty

In Light and Normal difficulty, the stage is a piece of cake so players will pass easily.

Everything is different in Technical and Master difficulty, however. Sudden double notes with very fast glissandos patterns cost many skilled players several misses and even failure to complete the stage even in Technical difficulty. Replaying Three Marches Militaires, No. 1 may solve this problem since they all have three fast double notes pattern. Besides this, the middle section requires fast speed just like final part of Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 23, Mov. I. Players may want to practice these 2 stages before attempting to complete this stage.

Finishing this stage in Master tour is also a tough challenge, since it now requires a high score and limits the number of misses. Lots of practices may be required. If players cannot decrease their amounts of misses, using a piano with shield bonuses is suggested.

## Trivia

* Before v2.2.0 update, this stage has Normal 6 difficulty.
* The codename of this stage is Piano Sonata No.11 in A major, K. 331(300i). Rondo alla turca (Turkish March)

## Trivia
