In the opening theme, if you slow down to 0.25x speed and listen carefully, you'll hear that the left hand is playing its triplets evenly -- for a correct 3 vs 4 LH vs RH pattern. This is almost non-existent in performance of this piece, even in all the famous recordings. The only other pianist that I've found who doesn't cheat (partially aligning the triplets with the right-hand sixteenth notes to make playing easier), and plays the left hand triplets evenly as Chopin intended, is Evgeny Kissin, and I've listened to many of the most famous recordings including Rubenstin, Howowitz, and Shishkin. Pretty amazing feat, and as a child too. Her father was a percussionist and apparently didn't tolerate incorrect rhythms when she practiced at home --this was probably a great influence on her.

She is like the musical equivalent of a young Dakota Fanning -- a gifted soul well beyond her years, with an uncanny sensitivity toward her craft. One can tell that, even then, she "felt" the music -- a rarity in one so young! Is it any wonder she is today's shining💫?

She is probably my favorite classical pianist of all time. Kudos to her for bringing this top-notch quality playing and contributing cultural legacy of these great composers. Yuja Wang is an iconic musician who has an incredible rhythmic sensitivity for playing magnificently especially great Russian composers’ music and feeling in her playing and people who say the opposite are simply haters. Big respect and love to her! Greetings from Turkey.

A very impressive performance of Yuja as a prodigy. Today as a virtuosa, Yuja has a very deep inner world and maturity so I would ask her to upload it again. I believe this work needs space between the notes. Maturity comes with age or sometimes in darkness... That is the case of other pianists who lack a sense. It is very important to share recent performances because the way we express ourselves changes with time. Best wishes! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7Z5nN2YvarXhYk.html
