Rush E

Rush E was originally a piece of piano music created by Sheet Music Boss on YouTube in 2018. In the viral video, they showed “how to play” the Lord Marquaad E meme. The video was a joke, as it consisted of only hitting the note E several times, starting out slowly and gradually getting faster. Rush E gained popularity in the violin world when violinist Rob Landes performed the piece on YouTube. Download the sheet music to get the most out of this tutorial.

The skills practiced in Rush E include: spiccato, tremolo, shifting to third position, and playing quickly.

This piece is in the key of either C Major or A minor because there are no sharps or flats indicated in the key signature. As you play, gradually get faster until you’ve reached your peak speed.

Watch the video below for a note-by-note tutorial on how to play Rush E.
