Am I good enough at the piano for La Campanella?
I only started playing the piano at 16, almost exactly 1.5 years ago, but I've heard that almost all good pianists start playing at 3-5 years old. I've taught myself everything from YouTube videos so far. I can now play the following songs fluently:
Amelie, Una Mattina, Nuvole Bianche, River flows in you, La valse d' Amelie, Je te laisserei des mots, Mariage d' Amour, G minor, Turkish March by Mozart, Die kleine Nacht musik, Somebody that I used to know, Passacaglia and Für Elise (and about 15-20 other pieces that I hadn't finished learning because I was no longer having fun with them; each only lasted 15-60 seconds).
I have been learning La Campanella for about 3 days and am now at 40 seconds
My question is whether this is a good progress, since I do not have to deal with pianists in everyday life and therefore could not assess it

Of course, it is now a question of what arrangement your YouTube tutorials will give you. Without looking at the notes (sometimes also those of the other pieces you add as a one-study) it is not possible to evaluate any progress here.
Basically, it is so that you do not learn to play piano in the sense of videotutorials without any educational schedule. It is actually a game that is based on imitation. A little comparable to something like the old “painting by numbers” sets. Musketing, on the other hand, is always a process which is more comparable to learning a language and which usually finds many years of learning, training and, above all, routine development. (In terms of the piano play, this is about the ability to build up own sound ideas and implement them via movements controlled by the upper body. Of course you do not learn this in one and a half years and without professionals who show what to do, like teachers in school.)
I do not criticize your approach, although I would not work with the piano in this way. I just want to make you realize the difference between what you do and what the piano player does; since in your last sentence you speak “pianists”. In the end, pianists are the wrong contacts for your question, you basically need “mediamakers” who can create such tutorials and define a kind of difficulty scale based on their concept.
(As far as your “Campanella” is concerned, in its original version, it is one of the most famous and most popular concert venues of romance, almost one of the Gassenhauer. It is considered a high-risk piece, if you want to perform it, and is therefore very difficult… 🙂)

La Campanella is difficult but not particularly risky. The Mephisto roller with his crazy jumps is risky.
My nerve costume probably doesn’t bother. ECT
