  • This is the HD version of the original House of Flying Fingers posted in 2007. This legendary clip of celebrated pianist Yuja Wang has gotten over 1.7 million views, I thought it is time to upload a better quality video for everyone to enjoy. Here is 19 year old Yuja playing through the Turkish March and Carmen encores in a practice room before her subscription concert debut with San Francisco Symphony.

I thought he was referring to advances in the study of human neurology allowing for players to use new skills and methods and whatnot (nootropics?) to play in ways that weren't possible before. That was a big leap on my part. Perhaps Malcolm simply meant that upon hearing this amazing playing he was stunned at what the human brain can do? And that Chopin and Beethoven would have appreciated her playing? I can agree with that last part for sure. I also think they would have praised her playing highly.

      I mean, she is really stunning, out of this world. Like a foretaste on genetic engineering or robotics.
      I took 10 years of piano lessons, and maybe I could match 50% of her speed with same zero error rate after 1 year of hard practicing those pieces. And I still would not be able to achieve such dynamics.

      @@duftstabkerze4236 Yes, I agree. I was confused by the use of the word "neurology", which was not a field in Beethoven's time, as I would have likewise been confused if I'd read your comment mentioning genetic engineering and robotics. What I'm saying is that playing at this level was always possible. And from what one reads, it was more common (though still rare) in the classical era when select children were essentially trained from the youngest age with no regards for any other education or future apart from their work as professional musicians. Thankfully, children have more rights today, and as witnessed in this video, can still reach great artistic heights without becoming musical slaves.

I do not know her but I did date the sister of one of her keyboard teachers in 1991 when she was very young. I was told about this phenomenal kid that could listen to the teacher play a piece of complicated music and then play it back better than the teacher. We are truly blessed to live in her time and when she is absolutely at her peak. I pray that God protects her and gives her many more years.

      He's clearly got the chops, but her tempo is much more on track and well managed, and the clarity of her playing is definitely above his, even allowing for the poor sound quality in his recording.
