Fun fact: She had just finished playing Liszt's B minor sonata. She stood up for the applause, sat back down and started playing this as if the previous piece had been a warm-up 😎
Pretty sure Liszt b minor sonat is harder then this idk
@@awe331 she played this in octaves tho right? then no
Pro QBr
It’s not octaves cziffras version, and yeah I’m pretty sure this is easier then sonat in b minor
@@awe331 definitely LOOKS harder to me tho, maybe isn't
@@awe331 Well, it would be hard to say which is harder. On one hand you need a lot of stamina and crazy Argerich-like power to play the octaves in bumblebee, but on the other hand you need tremendous virtuosity to play the sonata properly. I guess you could say the Sonata is harder because it's a 30 minute-long effort. But bumblebee is definitely no walk in the park. 😅
Imagine getting into an argument with her over text.
🤣

LMAOO
🤣😂😂🤣 haha.
Brilliant!
She has complete control over the dynamics of EVERY note she plays, amazing.
Absolutely true, Jernej.
@@paulzeng6211 She plays the game as well as the piano. That's a character thing and a management thing, none of which take anything away from her skills. I'm not saying she's the best ever, I'm saying her playing is very impressive.
@@paulzeng6211 Oh my god! Then what would you say about the over-rated, arrogant, hyper-theatrical, fame-craving, smiley-faced Lang Lang?
This is one of those rare pieces that I think no one ever complains about its interpretation being too fast because the faster it is the more it comes closer to imitating the wings of a bumblebee.
Ask Sacriligious Boi
@@lucachu7775 u have a point, I remember that video XD
Fast is one thing, articulation and clarity of the notes are another.
In this, the notes are very clear and distinct, unlike the death of the mosquito violin sacrilegious man
Is this in one movement or two?
@@yaboyzak6922 As a non musician, I would say this is in a zillion movements - of the hands - lol
Yuja Wang is a gift from the gods. It isn't only the speed that impresses. You can hear the melody shining through that impossibly furious attack with the rhythm completely intact.
Agree. Of course she’d years upon years of repetitive practice, but she’s a gift from God himself
✝️ indeed
My hands hurt just watching her, this isn't a bumblebee it is the whole hive. Breathtaking is all I can say, I did not know a human could do this, instead of a singe notes she did it in octaves. Bravo!!
Cziffra's version of Flight of the Bumblebee is just amazing, and Yuja does amazing wonders with it
I’m Asian, but now I realized I’m not Asian enough
Good one! :)
I hope one day you get more Asian.
this is Ling Ling’s warmup piece :)
😂
jajajajajajaajaj
That odd moment where the pianist surpasses the frequency of actual bumblebee wings ...
Noctumus hmmmm
Possibly has the Parkinson's disease.
Nah. No human could ever (Yuja Wang included) hit 200 keystrokes PER SECOND on a piano. Bumblebees flap their wings 200 times per second so you should've researched that before commenting. She's fast, but not nearly THAT fast...So many dumb people liked your comment too...lol. Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
Bad sense of humour. Very bad indeed!
Well, I found your comment amusing!! 😂🎉❤
I can play this with my eyes closed. but when I wake up I eat breakfast immediately.
+miguel davis hahahahahahah
lol x,D
I don't get it
I don't get it
James Choe He can only play it in his dreams
the one time twoset actually enjoys the whole "fastest pianist world record" thing
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Seems sped up. Is it though?
@@bernardofl3683 look at the people in the crowd. their heads would move faster than normal if it was sped up
I’m floored! To watch a person with world class talent, regardless of the instrument, is one of the great pleasures in life.
World class is an understatement in this case
Makes me realise that there is real talent in the world, while we are being saturated in mediocrity.
most do that piece single note on the runs. She did it in octaves! That's really really, really, really, REALLY difficult at that speed.
my jaw dropped when I heard the octaves
Micha it’s godly.
If
It's not possible.
that’s cziffra in a nutshell
damn, she was really having an hard time smashing that mosquito
Bitch yes XD
LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣
LOL !
Mosquitoes are fast. Really, really fast.
why could you not have said bumblebee? that would've made 7262517161616x more sense
OH MY GOD. SHE PLAYS SO CLEARLY YET SO FAST WHAT? How is this possible? You can hear every note and the dynamics… this is beyond incredible.
It is not her who should bow but we as the audience. Amazing.
Yes,yes, yes❤💕
I fully agree
I think this should be called: "Flight of the angry killer-hornets".
THIS....LMFAO
hahaha good one
LOL!!
bye i hate this lmao
LOL
1. Young and fit woman
2. Extremely quick with her hands
I think it's obvious what everyone is thinking about: She would make a terrific typist in high profile court cases where a lot of dialogue is spoken quickly, or perhaps a fine cardiovascular surgeon where hand speed, along with precission which this young woman also seems to posses, are of the utmost essence.
+Peter Loew You win the internet
+Peter Loew Exactly what I was thinking about.
+Peter Loew I thought you would start a discussion about how good she would be in making hand jobs.
Sam Make me....SAM.
+aase raser ERRORS?!! WHAT ERRORS?
When you're doing your homework while the teacher takes attendance.
I've never seen anything like this in my life,still cant get my head around the accuracy and speed of her piano playing,my mind is completely blown
At the end I immediately checked if I had accidentally set the playback speed at 1.5x
You've just given me an idea! 😊
@@musicloverlondon6070 dont know what the idea may be, but if its profitable, I want my royalties! lol
You need a special camera to catch her movements without them blurring. This young woman is literally faster than 2008 camera technology!
60 or 120 frames per second.
I've never seen anyone's fingers move so fast, with great control and technique.
Unbelievable! I have followed this lady since I first saw her when she was a young prodigy. This piece blows me away! Such a gift, what a talent, she is absolutely incredible! And such a character! I have watched this piece a dozen times, I am tired of my jaw dropping to the floor! Continued success sweet lady, Florida loves you!
And she can perform slow movements extremely well too... Gorgeous!
The most shockingly amazing piano playing I've ever seen.
Rarely heard such beautiful dynamic shadings. She's an artist of the highest caliber.
"Yuja Wang plays flight of the bumblebee" is the understatement of the year
Term: Holy fuck
Pronunciation: /ˈhōlē/ /fək/
Definition: (1) An exclamation of one's incredulity or lack of cognition, often as the result of observing some previously inconcieved act or occurrence. (2) See Yuja Wang.
Lol man now that's funny hahahaha😂
Clever you are
like yoda you speak
Agreed......Holy fuck.......
HAHA!! That's fantastic!!
She deserves a standing ovation. Amazing pianist
Now we have Timmy playing hot cross buns.
Lmao! 😂😂😂
😂 😂
Each note sharp and crisp. Gorgeous on every level.
Fun Fact: She won that piano from Satan after defeating him in a musical duel.
That reminds me of that fiddle song where he battles the devil to get a golden fiddle, and wins
Diddle lost the fiddle
And it was considered the greatest song in the world.
Plot twist: thats the one piano to rule them all. Shes succumbed to the power of the One Piano.
@@anthonyfisiihoi Maybe this is just a tribute to that song?
The First Human Synthesia in History.
😂😂😂
lol true
2nd. Cziffra was 1st.
Um, no. There are far harder pieces by Alkan and I don't think even Yuja Wang has the guts to try them.
Caleb Hu true. Alkan has some crazy, and I mean CRAZY songs. And liszt’s range of impossible songs is endless. Ravel also has some pretty darn difficult songs
I saw her do this very piece at around this time. 2008. It was astonishing. The control of the nervous system to coordinate those octaves is something. For those of us that play appreciate the difficulties all the more. I've heard most every great pianist of the last 120 years and she takes a back seat to nobody.
One of my favourites, amazing what you can train the hands to do love it
Grateful that I can witness this phenomenon. And grateful to RUclips for the link it provides to great music and musicians.
Utterly, Utterly amazing. Good grief. Who would believe such talent exists!!!!!
Well i think we all agree she's the best speed pianist
There are a handful of truly exceptional people in our world. She is one of them.
I nearly passed out. I hold my breath this entire time... then my jaw dropped, and hit the floor!!!!
This woman plays genius level piano. I hope to see her play live someday. She is truly astounding and I see a lot of emotion in her playing. It's exquisite.
Mad skills, magnificent expression, technically perfect, astonishingly brilliant.
I've no words enough!!!!!!
Playing in this way means that this woman could come from Mars, very probably!!!!!!!
Superlative job
I always love that with this song, when it's played right, you can hear the buzz of a bee in the music. Great song, beautifully played.
I agree
Definitely! She's breathtakingly good!
It's not a SONG, for God's sake!
@@mariapap8962 don't be rude
I can play this in my sleep.
That's the only place I can play it.
id wake up..
Wow it's you from halidonmusic
Came hear from your comment on Vinheterio's video
You're a pianist, this ought to be doable for you.
if you say it correct it would be: I wish i can play this in my dreams...;-)
I have watched this song performed on piano, electric guitar, and violin, and every performance sounds humanly impossible to play, yet they play it flawlessly! Hard to believe you can move your fingers that fast, and not miss a note. I wish I had one half of their talent!
My goodness. I just got stung. Ouch !!!! Bravo. Greetings from USA
This lady is my favorite female pianist. She has the talent and the drop-dead gorgeous looks to hold my attention. I especially enjoy listening to her play the Turkish March. Her style is unique to her, but some people criticize the way she plays it because she does not conform to their close-minded understanding of how the Turkish March should be played.
The song was fast enough already!! The fact that she made it even faster is just...*Wow*!!
Mind blowing! I´ve never heard this that beautiful!
There is not a pianist on the world that cannot say 'wow'.
this song gives me so much motivation to work harder at piano, and to make sure I focus on my weaknesses. love listening to this.
The most extraordinary talent, quite astonishing.
I remember playing The Flight of the Bumblebee, however I don't remember it being anything like this! 🙃😆
I was also a court reporter - 230 wpm - the strength and endurance in your hands alone are incomparable at that level, not to mention her photographic memory!! Genius. Prodigy. Savant? Unbelievable!!
Wonderful! She has done so much for young people and music.
OMG, I never thought anyone could play it that fast. Fantastic.
This is so incredible. And the speed reminds a lot of a swarm of bees
Amazing with the arrangement of the great Cziffra! ❤
The light, crisp tone of those last few notes ❤
Yuja Wang has such a God gifted talent!!! She has the speed, accuracy, gracefulness and Beauty of a Hummingbird.May God Bless...
She's really buzzing and even faster than the bee ! Watch her hands in this video. One big blur. That's talent !!!
unhuman. What a masterful play!
Elle est absolument prodigieuse !!!un feu d'artifice 👏👏👏👏😍😍
Such Talent! My ears are in love!
I can't even think about hitting the wrong notes that fast.
I can't help but say this is pure madness!!!!
まさに熊蜂の飛行のような演奏で本当に素晴らしい(*´∀`)♪
The arrangement she performed was by Gyorgy Cziffra, so cziffra did it originally, she replicated it very well.
This is the only person I n who I have ever listed to playing this piece thatxACTUALLY Makes me visualize a bumblebee in a flower garden going from blossom to blossom.
When I was 14 I learned this piece.
I could actually play it correctly.
But at about half that speed AND NOT in octaves.
There are gifted people like her. The rest of us are just mechanics. Which is OK because we know enoug h to really
appreciate the great ones.
Incredible... and incredibly beautiful as well!
ASIAN PARENT: NOW PLAY BACKWARD
😂
...
PLAY IT BACKWARDS AT 2X SPEED OR I WILL GROUND YOU!!!
ARE YOU A DOCTOR YET?
Now play it with your feet
I can do that, hold my beer.
My uncles last words. He said then right before he wrestled a bobcat for some licorice.
Too drunk. horrible performance. 0/10 IGN.
+Matt Bellamy 7.8/10 Too much water.
+Jameson Spencer hahahah ty for making my day XD.....im sorry dud.
Matt Bellamy 😂😂😂😅
Amazing performance, I love it!
She is the best, no doubt/.
How do you go from listening to a Bumble Bee, to writing something like that? And Yuja Wang is stunning!
It's not "Asian" that makes her an amazing musician. It's called talent and practice. haha
And as far as musicality and emotion, it's called "Flight of the Bumblebee" for a reason. Sure she could have played parts differently, but if you expect a romantic love painting full of emotion and expression from this piece, I'm sorry to say, you're in the wrong video. I'm sure at her caliber, she has her own interpretation and emotional input in each piece she plays. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong (because everyone has his or her opinions) but everyone should just learn to simply enjoy and marvel at great talent.
First of, the Asian thing is a joke. You've either been under a rock your whole life or you are too dumb to comprehend. And I'm pretty sure talent wasn't even that helpful, I'm positive it's her parents that made her become so good.
The reason the Asian joke exists is because Asian parents strive to make their kid better because with the population in Asia, there is a lot more competition to be better
TheDifferentGuy l
But there is some truth in that Asian joke... as an Asian myself I have witnessed many Asian pianists who are all technique but no skill. However, Yuja Wang breaks that stereotype. Her other videos demonstrate how she excels in both technique and musicality. She is truly incredible!!!
@@shirleyhe4215 I agree. It's not "Asian" that makes her an amazing musician. It's "Asian parents".
I have never seen such technique it’s almost bewildering!!
Amazingly dedicated and talented musician!
I can’t expect how her hands moving
It’s amazing performance
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Now this is PURE talent.
Magique et poétique, virtuose et splendide... Un pur instant de féerie !
❤️
Unbelievable talent!
Absolutely spectacular.
Fascinante como uma deusa de Dedos Velozes consegue nos empolgar com sua apresentação !
Cada instante de suas apresentações transforma o momento em algo super espetacular !
VIVA YUJA WANG ! VIDA LONGA E SUCESSO !!!
Im also impressed at how quickly those keys can just spring back up to allow her to play at such speed
Fantastic playing. And that was an encore.
Wow, incredible talent.
Performances like these usually split audience reaction between "Wow, that's humanely impossible! I'm so impressed" to "Wow, that's humanely impossible! It sounds like crap." We as listeners, onlookers, and critics have always given virtuosity the lowest-of-the-low reputation when evaluating performances, and I'm not quite convinced that we've done so for the most aesthetically virtuous reasons. We say things like "mere technique," "noise," "no substance," "boasting," and "only show." I seriously wonder if it's because of a subconscious, voyeuristic jealousy among us who only wish we could play with half the agility that we see here.
Regardless of anyone's aesthetic position, the amount of dedication, work, and sacrifice that goes into being able to play like this deserves positive recognition. It does not in the least sound like garbage, as some people have flatly stated. One may not think it fits their conception of "music-making," a term always vulnerable to the vicissitudes of individual taste, and that's fine. It's another thing entirely to dismiss this accomplishment en-masse as garbage and worthless. Sadly, it's more telling of a critic's lack of perspective than of any shortcoming of the performer.
Few people can play as fluidly as this, and the craft that Yuja Wang displays here deserves respect, despite whether or not one believes she's not musical.
finally, a pertinent point of view expressed coherently!
Thanks! :)
Trolls respect nobody.
This is the best flight of bumblebee I have ever heard. If you close your eyes you can really hear the bumblebee.
I swear the crowd almost breaths a sigh of relief for her when she finishes.
She is extremely talented and hard working. She has a tremendous memory reservoir which unfortunately I never had all my life and I could bot play more than two notes of piano, and yet I love Brahms, Beethoven, Chopin and their gifts. Just admiring those musical talent that I never had except my drawing skill of which I am satisfied. Admiring musical talent only from a ten foot pole. And I do make jealous comments on Lang Lang and Yuja Wang just because they both are naturally talented and very hard working on their task ! George Wu, ARCHITECT, AIA, NCARB 2017-11-21
Yup, memory is the key. It is just to complicated to even try to memorize the notes.
Such a speed with amazing musicality
She is so good at piano!
I've never seen anything like this. That was amazing!
I can probably figure out how to play the last 1 second of this piece. Lol 😂
She is amazing! I hope to be as good as her one day! WOW!
JazzKeyboardist1 I'm actually uploading a video soon. I am not a professional or anything. I taught myself how to play by ear.
Never. Jk, but never
There are soooo many talented people on youtube!
This one never ceases to amaze.

The melody in the music does represent the speed and noise a boumble-bee makes. Extraordinary technique the young pianist has. Charming piano solo.
