Very good opinion, Did you just fart?

If you can nail Mozart's "vous dirai je maman" at age 11 like she did... the sky's the limit... Hell, we don't call that piece Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for nothing. Still like'd love to see her let cut loose and just improvise... cause playing classics is just repetition .... Some Boogie Woogie or some Jerry Lee Lewis... please

don't agree, needs more strength especially the opening. the agitato section is rather soft, not with passion and strength.

Are you her boyfriend?

Brandon Hwang she masters the piece pretty much anyway, you might point some ridiculous flaws but the main goal of those dynamics written on paper is to express a feeling... and I must say that many of us enjoy her way of playing. If music were to be played perfectly then we should expect some robots to start to play instead of humans. :)

I really like her and what she does. Yes, the smile is endearing, but I'd rather have her concentrating and focusing on what she is going - and that is exactly what happens when she gets to the difficult parts. So ... the showing of emotion IS "taking your eye off the ball."

Not really. All the concentration and focusing should have been done already with practice. By the time you get to performing, your piece should already be so polished that you don't have to think anymore about it. So when you perform, you can relax a lot more and show much more emotion instead of focusing.

Agreed. In fact, the practice of physically concealing your emotions comes from certain traditions of teaching and requires conscious effort to build the habit. Behavioral psychology demonstrates that showing the emotions through facial expression is natural and normal unless you are a psychopath. Although trained musicians may learn to conceal the emotions they experience to a degree, the microexpressions are still there. On the other hand, what Nofer Trunions may be referencing is the active upregulation of emotions displayed by pianists like Lang Lang. That is something else entirely!

My method is entirely different. I have a narrative or story that contains the emotional content. The very best I can do is totally submerse myself in that alternate reality. It is pretty much out of body for me. If I try to animate anything, it detracts from this meditative state. Imagine someone reminiscing some great love or tragedy - you don't see ham acting when that happens naturally.

I respect your opinion, but mine is different too. In my eyes, the primary concern is the enjoyment of the audience. And let's be honest, people are gonna enjoy a player who is more calm, relaxed, and joyful when they play more than a stoic and faceless player. But it also depends on what kind of piece you are playing. If it's a happy piece, then joyful expressions would be good. If it's a sad piece, then a more serious attitude would be more fitting. It's all about what you prioritize honestly. Either audience over you or you over audience.

almost all chopin is gorgeous dude...

@@agamaz5650 nah thats the sweetest passage of them all. Chopin in his manauscripts sometimes described what was happening at the time in his life that inspired a piece. Being the scherzo's case, he wrote a lot about it. Specifically about that passage, like coming home but it is a new section but however you still feel like you're home no matter its a different place. Hope that helped and that is the reason I think that's the sweetest passage in the chopin's collection of his genious pieces. :)

it is it is

@@bakuto.1055 I like the middle section of the 1st ballade the most. That G Ab Bb D C Bb part easily melts me

*i'd be lying if i didn't agree*

She pretty much failed Etude op. 10 no. 1. That’s one reason why she didn’t pass first stage.

@@ilovemycatrussell9298 Yeah, many missed notes, but I'm sure in a few years her motor skills will have improved :)

I think you can only take part of Chopin competition once

@@lorenzor.o.6851 you can participate many times but not after winning 1st prize. lol

YOO REALLY!?!?

Right. It's hard to feel Chopin... She has IT

Wow! I knew you would love it! Sorry to have kept badgering you into listening by leaving so many messages.😆 It's a shame they didn't keep the video playing during the applause and her egress from the stage. That abupt/ clipped ending is a "downer."

Thank you again Milton!

Pogorelich

Incredible

Without witnessing the competition, or knowing who the competitors shall even be?

Coronavirus joins the chat..

F because of coronavirus

She's going to be the winner in 2021!

2025!

Dat spelling though

И Погорелича!

Yeah I totally agree that this is the biggest oof I've ever taken . She is so good. Lol

I agree, but she was only 16 and she still did a fabulous job.

@@ilovemycatrussell9298 I agree with YOU, a fabulous job. I'm not even sure what I meant... maybe I'm too used to some neurotic discomfort! I was just struck by the ritard at 2:28! I wouldn't call that "normal," just beautiful.

Yeah, Valentina’s was a wreck! :/

Pogorelich's is a bit better than hers, but i love both!

@Mazzel Tov lmao what

@@bakuto.1055 What a rubbish imbecilic comment.

@@thepianocornertpc huh

@@bakuto.1055 he

Pogorelich contains in himself all the pianists except the strict ones! He loves breaking rules but if he does that it still sounds fabulous!

This wasn't her final piece this round, so she wouldn't have even gotten applause yet.

My bad nevermind

+Cyprian Jagiełło Argerich jest słaba, Zimerman nie musi siedzieć w jury i oceniać.

zbigi tu splinter z rsah, ona zarabia setki tysiecy euro za koncert, w sensie Martha xD

Czemu?

:D to Ty słuchasz takiej muzyki? A to niespodzianka xd Martha owszem, zarabia dużo hajsu i ładnie gra. Każdy o niej mówi, że jest najlepsza, a Zimmerman umiejętnościami jej nie ustepuje, lecz o nim milczą. W końcu też za coś wygrał Konkurs Chopinowski :D

Przeciez Zimera tez kazdy zna, no slucham. A Ty widze pogrywasz, fajnie :) Ja tez pogrywam ;)

She is infinitely more than that RIGHT NOW!

You're right. I mean shes going to remembered for a long long time once shes dead

I agree! Thanks for your moral support for this young goddess of the keyboard!

I do think it lacks intensity on the loud parts.

just wanted to say this

agree so much, the agitato section especially.

She is a diminutively built young girl, not Horowitz. How much "power" should we expect! Appreciate her for what she is! Also, the audio is VERY weak.

Chopin was not that powerful , he was feminine instead

Chopin had a lack either. He almost never played anything above F. His playing was very delicate, for instance the heroic polonaise people like to smash the keys playing it, rumous has it Chopin played very gently and different from what we're used to hear.

Jean-Yves Thibaudet plays it as written. By coincidence, his is the first recording I ever heard.

You do not like her very much ?

I can't agree more.

+Grzegorz Pieniek That's called interpretation, Mr. Salt.

as if YOU are the one to say how it´s supposed to be.. Chopin would bite your ass!! He´s the only one who had the prerogative to say how his masterpieces were to be played!

A very well-balanced interpretation . At the time the girl was 15 years old !
