"Dreilide Thrace Sonata No. 1" is one of those that a) looks scary and b) I don't have any particular fondness for anyway; it's less score-like and more classical, if that makes any sense, and what I really like is the score.
Kind of like a hemiola?
See, that's what I was going to call it, until I looked "hemiola" up on Wikipedia and found it wasn't what I thought. I mean, it's sort of the same, and maybe the term gets used for this, too -- but it isn't quite the central meaning of that word.
I should probably check out the music videos, though honestly I'm just as likely to keep my iPod on the piano bench beside me and listen to the original for comparison. Not quite as clear for explication, but I used to teach myself to play things by listening and picking it out on the keys, so that's what I default to.
As for unweighted keys . . . okay, the elitist snob in me says "yeah, for some purposes they're fine. Like for small children and people who don't know how to play piano to bash around on." :-) There are probably some uses beyond that, too. If you're used to the touch of a real piano, though, playing on flimsy plastic keys is just WEIRD and WRONG and NO.
