If it's fast, no I don't have enough piano technique. In that case, it's probably been done on some kind of synthesizer or sequencer. Then the score can then be printed out and so forth.
If I was hearing something I couldn't do, I would figure out how to do it.
I seldom play in a trio, but acoustic music is likely to be lighter, quicker, and quieter.
I saw it as a challenge to play with Pat and we put hours and hours into it, usually on the bus. The trick was to find something that we both wanted to play within our different styles which would add up to being greater than the sum of its parts.
