Jan Vogler is a wonderful guy... love the way he thinks! It's so cool to be able to see what goes on in the lives of the famous artists. I especially find your life fascinating because of your revelations of what happens behind the curtains. Typically, we are only allowed to see you in action on stage, and afterward. It's such an awesome treat to see what happens in your preparations. I love hearing your thoughts and ideas throughout the whole process. Love your way of bringing classical music to us, blending it with our lives to become a beautiful part of us. Thanks so much, Tiffany!
Thank God for you, Ms. Poon. You are such a light and inspiration. I'll never be a concert pianist like you, but that doesn't matter. Your message to keep striving resonates with me. Thank you. I shall...
A big thanks to Jan Vogler for taking the time to talk with us! It was very generous of him and I enjoyed his thoughtful perspective. Indeed, may we all keep striving....
I am so glad that you had the opportunity to play with an experienced, but also understanding musician like Jan. This is so important for a young performer. Yes, the trick about nervousness is "to turn the 'butterflies in your stomach' into positive excitement in your favor". I hope to get a recording of you two performing a full piece together some time in the future!
Hello Tiffany I am relatively new to your Vlog. I am an amateur pianist working on my life goal Claire de lune, I enjoy your playing and the down to earth way you open yourself to those who follow you. I really enjoyed the trip to the Steinway Vault and the little section of Claire de lune. Thank you for your inspiration and candidness.
I began to feel a little bit nervous watching you and Jan talking about being nervous just before a performance! Glad to hear (read) that the performance went well. Sorry not to hear at least a short excerpt from the rehearsal or performance, but that might not have been possible. How wonderful that so many of your fans waited for you to emerge after the concert!
I can finally say that I was there and it was stunning, I've waited for you to come here in Italy and it was worth it! You and Vogler are amazing and I'm still thanking you guys for staying outside with us for a moment, it has been so sweet! Thank you! I was literally shaking :)
This video made my day - THANKS! Addition: You play classical with such a beautiful tone that it sounds new and much more really right to me, so donot bother about playing other stuff now. Maybe later. But then at the end ... THERE WAS A MEET AND GREET! ❤
I think it's great when solo artists perform with other musicians. Sure, a soloist chooses to become a soloist for his or her own reasons, but as Vogler states, it's great to share the stage from time to time. Great for fans too. There's so much music out there beyond solo pieces. It would be such a shame to neglect the possibilities.
Yes, absolutely! For Tiffany it was the first full recital with Jan, and understandably she was a little anxious. But as she gets more engagements like this one, and gets experience, she actually will have a lot of fun.
So I'm not really on instagram so I'm jsut replying here: I'll start with the story of how I almost missed the concert. So I called the concert hall in advance to make sure they have my ticket reserved and that there's a parking lot nearby so I can park without having to look so much for a parking spot. I planned on arriving at 20:00, half an hour before time. When I arrived at the place, I realized the parking lot is actaully a 25 minutes walk from the address, so I decided - the hell with everything I will park at the first spot I find that isn't a towing area. So I parked somewhere and started searching for the place. Then it hit me. I was not in the right place. I figured I acciently drove to the address of the offices instead of the concert hall itself. It was 20:15 already, and I really tried not to panic. I looked at my phone and thought "ok I'd just find the right address and it'll be fine". And the cell reception died. I had no idea what's the right address and had no maps. That was the minute I almost bursted in tears. I decided I'll go back towards my hotel (using the car GPS that had the adress saved on its history), wrost case I miss the concert and get back to the hotel. Best case I'll find a place with cell reception and change my new route there. I found a place with cell reception, and rerouted towards the parking lot which is actaully close to the right place. I drove like maniac. it was 20:25, arrived the parking lot, went out and.. no cell reception again. No idea how to get from the parking lot to the actaull place. decided to search for a taxi. Coudln't find any. Went back to the car and deicded to just drive to the address itself and park wherever. I arrived at the right address and parked at 20:45. I ran to the place, and begged the receptionist will let me in. She was super nice and understanding (and found out she was the one who talked to me on the phone) and she talked with the supervision and they decided to let me in, without even waiting for the piece to end, and without payment! I missed the Debbusy sonata but managed to hear the rest. As I told you in person after the show (Michael from Israel), you are making classical musicians human, You remind us that those talanted preformers are actaully human just like us and that is one of the most amazing thing about you, but the fact that you're also an extremely amazing and brilliant pianist, who lives the music and make it touch the audience and reach them. The fact that the concert was amazing and that I got to meet you afterwards (and Jan as well) made my evening from horrid to amazing. After talking to you guys (and Jan if you're reading this, thanks for the really great talk we had about the Bach suite and music in general, truly hope you will preform here in Israel at some point) I simply couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the evening. Thank you so much, Sincerely and with much appritiation, Michael
Oh wow! I was already amazed that you came all the way from. Israel, but I had no idea how much trouble you had to go through to come here even within Italy!! Thank you very much for your kind words. It was great to meet you :)
This is wonderful. Loved the scenery and discussion. The first question resonated. I am MUCH more nervous playing piano to anyone, anywhere than I am viola (even though I sound much worse on viola). That sense on stage of being ‘in it’ with others certainly lightens the burden
I think being nervous is nice. After going on stage many times you learn how to control it so it becomes an advantage instead of a disadvantage. Being nervous is nice because it means you'll be fully dedicated and motivated to give your best. If you have absolutely no pressure means you don't give so much a shit and you may underperform :) that's how I see it and how I deal with it
Such a great vlog! Really enjoyed the similarities and differences of the answers you and Jan gave to the fan questions. I found it interesting that Jan felt that being slightly nervous gave him that performance edge. I’ve always tried to control my nerves before recitals and actually try to imagine I was performing at home. Perhaps I feel that I can freely express my emotions if I didn’t have nerves to deal with. And, Jan said the opposite. I would also feel more comfortable and confident to share the stage with one other but also I would feel more pressure to perform my best to make sure our performances shine together. I loved Jan’s answer to collaborate with a fresh new performer as yourself. And then when you commented, “I hope so,” I chuckled a bit. Your humility always shines. This was a fascinating vlog offering different viewpoints of music genres, practice rituals and routines, and so on. To meet the piano tuner who tuned the same piano for you 10 years previously is pretty incredible. That was fun to include here. Glad your performances went well. Hope your headache worked itself out. Thank you and Jan for sharing this vlog!
Oh my Gosh yes, reactions and concentration are heightened in nervousness / excitement. With viola I get it just enough that I perform better, but, with piano it goes too far and I shake up to the elbows and loose accuracy. With strings in orchestra it’s so comforting to be reading from the score though. With piano the score wouldn’t even help as I can’t read at the required pace! I love hearing you both talk about all this stuff. Thank you!
Tiffany you really remind me of my piano teacher, and this gives me a weird mix of fear, intimidation, respect and awe for you whenever I watch your videos. (This is meant to be a compliment haha and also you look so much like her, except you’re younger and you smile more ;) )
Never been this early... I was watching another video on YT when Tiffany's popped up. I haven't switched over that fast in a long time :) The alert went off *after* I had watched & written my first comment :)
While I prefer the peace of calmness, I can definitely relate to Jan's calmness that comes with that slight nervous feeling before the event, as I'm familiar with the discomfort that comes with his mentioned absence of that slight nervous feeling before performance. It actually gives one that extra edge to perform at one's peak, in my opinion. It's analogous to a foot race where, if you know you are the best, your lack of nervousness may cause you to fall into a complacency that ends in your not performing at your best, and losing the race. Your different perspectives in the Q&A were very interesting. As for the rest of your pre-performance video, I was very surprised to see how much more you guys do before your performance than I had ever even imagined. You guys are incredible! I was especially impressed with your meeting with the 8 to 12-year-olds. You guys are truly awesome! And speaking of awesome, thanks for another awesome video, Tiffany! 👍
I made some effort to listen carefully and relistened to some sections as your Cellist Jan Vogler answered the questions. He seems a carefully worded musician and speaking in another language this is quite some strain I am sure. Thank you for these insights.
Amateur pianist but know Brahms sonatas as hard for pianist as soloist. Sure the Debussy no walk in the park either. Amazed how much repertoire you have worked through. Courageous.
Thank you, Tiffany and Jan! Now I need to check out the "New Worlds" show that Jan has with Bill Murray! (and Thanks Tiffany for the street views of the cities you're in!) And that Tortellini en brodo at 13:01 is making me hungry! :P
Maybe is too late by now. Next time you feel an onset of a headache it might be a little dehydration. Take “cold” water slowly as needed. The water must be cold to avoid any heaviness in the stomach later. Keep in mind managing intakes and outtakes carefully since concerts once started can’t be stop for any reasons. Get a real good breakfast and avoid too many pastries and keep caffeine liquids at bay. No chewing gum afterward though. Deep inhales and slow exhales, repeat. Relaxation will arrive once you place your fingers over the keyboard of the piano. You’ve arrived home, sweet home. Enjoy and impress. Cheers!
Great Vlog! Have you played the Poulenc Piano Sextet? I love Chamber Music! The weirdest thing that I’ve played is the Persichetti Serenade for Dectet (a woodwind quintet combined with a brass quintet)😊❤️
Oh, I almost forgot... Tiffany mentions a recital she gave in Bologna 10 years ago, same piano, same tuner :-0 it's on her playlist; here is the link: ruclips.net/video/ZcZdobc_J0A/видео.html
Hi, Tiffany! I am a beginning competition pianist. I have a few questions, if you can answer them that'll be great! For the first: do you use the Russian Method or the American Method? If you use the Russian Method, do you have any tips for the rotation in your wrists: the circling motion, basically since I have seemed to have a brain pause. Also, do you have any tips overall for nervousness? I always seem to freeze mid-way through my performance and I forget what the next notes are, even though I continue playing since my hands have memorized the notes. I appreciate you and your pieces! Especially your recording of Chopin's Nocturne Op. 72 No. 1. I am currently sight-reading the piece. Thank you for all your wonderful performances!
i used to have piano playing dreams, i was very good in my dreams, played for a few years but no musical talent, no rhythm, i love listening to the classicals.
I agree... "Bescheidenheit ist eine Zier - doch weiter kommt man ohne ihr" "Humbleness is nice - but one can go further without it" That's a German saying. Tiffany might be overly humble at times, but she's also extremely courageous.☺

A big thanks to Jan Vogler for taking the time to talk with us! It was very generous of him and I enjoyed his thoughtful perspective. Indeed, may we all keep striving....
I think she was the one who changing classical music world to next level, something more than usual.

Hey Tiffany! You seemed a little nervous talking with Jan, too cute! Thank you so much for answering the questions.
You are so lovely. Congratulations on such a special performance opportunity.

"Get eaten by a bear...!" 11.25 😳🐻😂 #tiffany 👌🏼😆
I played the piano part of Debussy's Cello Sonata last night, and then I woke up. 😔😑
The necessity of nervousness is interesting... never thought of that before.
The breakfasts always looks delicious.
You mentioned. That you get offers to play outside of the classical genre. Could you elaborate on that. And why you do not try other genres ??
She mentioned in the video that she hasn't learnt enough in the classical music area yet.
I wanna come to your concert someday though I’m in Japan.

i used to have piano playing dreams, i was very good in my dreams, played for a few years but no musical talent, no rhythm, i love listening to the classicals.
hi
Hello
You are so sweet and lovely its crazy :(
Tiffany, you're very humble which is delightful but maybe a little too humble? I think you bring more to music than you realise.
I agree... "Bescheidenheit ist eine Zier - doch weiter kommt man ohne ihr"
"Humbleness is nice - but one can go further without it"
That's a German saying.
Tiffany might be overly humble at times, but she's also extremely courageous.☺
Tiffany, you should give him a free hair cut!
why do u always play wierd-ass trills?
