STYLE and a COUNTER-MELODY with the left hand.

[✪richkeys]

I was always impressed with his use of the left hand besides just playing chords on an arranger.

Alois Mueller never ceases to impress me.

As I said before, he has a fingering that is worth studying.
It is clear that every movement is thoroughly studied and practiced - he really gets his fingers going !

(I still hear that he has problems with some runs, lol)

A lot of what he does is extremely difficult to do on a piano keyboard, but he is also actually an accordionist first and foremost - he plays the piano like an accordion.

Just listen to this video.
One of my favorites ? Listen from 19:14 onwards !
...and 26:54 onwards.

Alois Mueller is very good, it is a bit unclear to me what is styles and if so, how he manages to control the accompaniment when he is doing the left hand runs, or is there some triggering of pre-recorded stuff running in the background?

I think Alois uses a special setup, but I don't know how he does it.

The Pa5X has some very advanced features that I think make it possible to play the way he does.

But how does he do it ?
It's tempting to think it's "cheating."

Alois often has tutorials explaining how he does things, though they are in German. I notice lately he had a video or two recently with some sort of English translation voiceover.

Alois has many very good performances that stand out from the rest.

...and we actually hear the drums...!

Drepalla Unclear to me what is styles and if so, how he manages to control the accompaniment when he is doing the left hand runs.

No special setup needed.
On Yamaha...Using FINGERED.  3 notes together will change the chord.
Following single notes to play counter melody.

Alois has very good hands and is exceptionally musically gifted.

I tried to do the same as he do, and found that Chord Recognition must be set to Fingered (3 Notes).

There were some challenges in achieving enough volume for Lower, because the volume of the style had to be reduced significantly, but even with 127 on Lower, it was too weak.

By the way, I can see that Alois has also turned down the volume of the style significantly.

Many people may think that if they are skilled enough, they can play like Alois does.
They can't, because he uses his own specially adapted styles, which are also incredibly skillfully made.

There is no ready-made setup on the Pa5X to do the same.
