Rob I could try to master this piece, but even with a heroic effort I would not come close to what this gifted lady has achieved. Nothing wrong with gifts, you still need to work hard to bring them to fruition.
pseudopetrus no such thing as gifts in music. As wrong as it may seem, you can get to this girls level if you do her practise regime for as long as she has. I would’ve agreed with you when I was only playing for a year, but as I progress, I feel myself get better than I ever thought.
Steve AR just effort no gifts. Do you think she was playing whole concertos when she first touched a piano? Just like everyone she would have struggled to do a triad when she started, it’s just that she easily would’ve practised at least 3 hours a day to get to this level
@K.I.N.G 666 yes, I truly believe its impossible to completly master a piece of art like this, because then it would be perfection and humans aren't capable of that
If you look and listen with an open heart, I think you may realize that this video is a truly amazing gift to humanity. Think about how many hours she has spent mastering her talent, how close she is to that music she is playing, and how you get to witness up close. The only thing better would be to be in the room sitting 5 feet from her, and the only thing better than that would to actually be her, playing the music.
The amazing part to me is that she has it memorized. No wrong notes , no score with a page turner . The human brain is amazing and of course her talent and perseverance to get to this level .
@@mytube785yes. But the brain holds the knowledge to send the muscles their instructions. No argument . We are both right . And girl is amazing . I can’t imagine what she is feeling . On auto pilot I suppose , like you say .
The amount of practice and repetition necessary to play this kind of piece makes you naturally memorize it. The actual impressive part is how you are able to deliver it.
Naomie Mnd she is amazing. That much time and dedication allows for muscle memory so that you do not need sheet music. Albeit a few errors. She did amazing and it is absolutely beautiful!
The best age to teach a child the piano is around 4 or 5 because at that age they hear and know pitches better than adults .. plus piano is extremely hard to play and it can be so hard to play that people sometimes start losing their talent .. she’s very talented and I hope she doesn’t lose her talent
@@rargnari2606 well I started learning the piano when I was 5 and playing it when I was 6, I'm 14 now and I just started playing heroic polonaise, I guess thats good but when she was 14 she played things that I would probably never play. I guess it's the amount of effort that decides how good you will be and less the age you started.
Actually it would take many years to learn the third movement for someone who’s never played the piano in his life. And he could never play it as perfectly as she did.
@@thesignifiedssignifier7010 actually, it's the opposite. you see, being a good pianist is not about being able to play the piece, anyone could do that. what's hard is putting in the emotions and playing it with all of your heart, and it requires an immense amount of training, personal experience and talent to have.
@@percylewis6821 i play the piano for almost 9 years now almost everyday and I'm 14. This piece is easy and slow, you just need to have the emotions to play it. You know what i mean? You have to feel it to play it.
If you really believe that was emotionless, perhaps you should consider your own state of mind. To me, that was incredibly full of emotion and to just the right amount. In my opinion, she stayed true to how I imagine Beethoven would have wanted it played.
I'm one of the pianist who plays it slightly faster. The idea is that the piece is three pages long and playing it too slow can result in the audience losing interest. This is just a generalisation of course, you can't account for each individual's preference during a performance. So I just play it my way.
I am 77, I have listened this marvelous piece hundreds of times by so many pianists... (and by myself the 2 first movements) and this one is among the select group of best versions. That make me SO happy.
As a pianist myself i really respect how she can make such a gentle beautiful sound. She is really paying attention to every single note she plays. Theres something very special about the way she plays for it touches everyone's heart and stays.
The first part is actually very difficult although everyone can play it through. This is one of the rare performances I can listen through. Well played!

it's good isnt it - lots of passion but not overwhelming amounts of it, it's still half a classical and half a romantic piece of music which most people often forget, favouring excessive use of romantic rubato just to get the notes down without giving the impression of not having learned them does not work with this piece

I always admiring People from past centuries, They can make a song WITHOUT LYRICS but had DEEP MEANING! It touched My Heart and Soul very well indeed.. Don't You?
Because that period wasn't a rat race. The most admired value nowadays is money. Despite this the composers had great talents creativity and imagination.
There are a few musicians who still make amazing, moving music. Unfortunately, they are drowned out by modern pop that people only listen to because they are brainwashed to. (programming through repetition, it's why record companies spend millions to have their songs played everywhere)
This video was given to us by so many people, the pianist herself, the video producer, the audience, Beethoven, the piano manufacturer, and even the unknown cleaning lady who kept the stage and building clean enough for the performance. Outstanding performance, humans are truly incredible
This is the best interpretation, I ever heard. After 40 years, this girl returned me the love to the piano solo. Beethoven was the first romantic composer. I am sure, this is the way, how he imagined to play his sonatas.
There are several very young pianists now with fantastic capabilities. I like this by MIss Poon but I saw also a versdion by Umi Garrett at 13 years ( the third movement of this Sonata) and I like it even more, the style of Umi is really amazing. YOu can watch the version on INternet.
@@phantomaq My opinion is absolutely another. Tiffany Poon's play is full of emotions, yet clear and accurate. Umi Garrets simply plays quickly, but without emotions and clearness. There are hundreds such a pianist. After discovering Miss Poon's magic, I listened 20-30 others and became sure: Tiffany Poon IS THE BRIGHTEST STAR on the piano sky. Never, neither in the past nor in the present, could anybody shiver my back [with piano] as well, as her play.
@@PETRIK_Lajos I understand your point. But it is a question of preference, for you, Poon is better, but for me, Umi is better, there is nothing you can say that can make me change my mind. Even if you were an expert, you are not the owner of truth. I am sure many other people also prefer Umi. Tiffany is very good, but for many people, other players are better, and you can not change that. Every eprson has right to prefer other players, dont you think? For example, in your mind maybe TP is the best in the world or of all times, but most international experts say the best is Yuja Wang. For others, it is Valentina L. and for others, it is Lang Lang. Others say that Lang makes a lot of mistakes. It is personal preference. Maybe for many people Marilyn Monroe was the most beautiful actress, but for me, others like Jaqueline Bisset (in pictures of her at 25 years) or Jenniffer Connelly at 22 years, were much more beautiful. Just personal opinion. Every person has an opinion, and for me, Umi Garrett is the best, and something in her personality is more magnetic. I prefer her style. Also, Laetitia Hahn is great but I have not watched her to play this piece.
@@phantomaq Yes, I am an expert: my ex piano teacher, a well-known in those times classical conductor, considered me very talented in music, so my musical sense is good. --- This is my last answer. Please, do not waste your time to explain me, why the difference between Bentley and Suzuki is just a matter of taste. As I shall not waste my time on a paid brainwasher.
@@PETRIK_Lajos So because you believe to be an expert you think that the whole world must agree with your opinion, your have serious problems. YOu misundertood a simple thing. And if you are so "talented", why you are not famous in the world? You should be playing concerts in many countries and be in many videos on INternet, like Lang Lang or YUja. - DOnt respond,. I will not read your comment. Be happy with your "fabulous talent", hahaha
I love how she executes the piece as faithfully as she can, without adding so many personal touches or over the top adaptations the way so many well-regarded pianists tend to do. Just pure, clean, Beethoven.
Why would they make an app that claims they "teach piano" when its not even doing it properly smh its an awful app just go to a proper piano teacher that actually teaches you how to master piano.. its not just pressing keys😑
She starts with such delicate grace, like a soft whisper & I'm already captivated. A commercial interrupts, how disturbing. Back to her performance... about 9:09 she bursts into intense emotion with precise control. The power she projects feels like an imaginary back draft of a massive storm, WOW I'm blown away! She exudes a full spectrum of talent & she's only 14 years old! Such breath taking beauty, gentle fluidity, dramatic emotion & charismatic energy, all in the same artist. Her drive & dedication in practice are obvious with this spectacular show! BRAVO!!
She was actually still 13 here. And yes I agree, she started with such delicate grace, it's the best start of the moonlight that I've heard tbh. See how long she took to start playing? Now we know why, and it was worth it.
I just can't get over how quiet she got the RH to be at 11:04. To play the Alberti passages soft but controlled is insanely hard and I am saying this as I have also learned this piece before. Amazing 🤩🤩👍
Yes, and also this is one of the most amazing composers that ever lived (Beethoven) being performed by a girl with true talent and heart in her playing.
I admire how she took a moment before starting, to breathe and enter the door opened by Beethoven, that not that many can do. It also gave the audience a chance to stop and pay attention. Tiffany is wonderful, and can be goofy.
This is absolutely beautiful to watch, when she starts the third movement I was so moved by how many hours she has probably spent on it, literally every single part, note and emotion takes so much effort
Long, long time since I heard this sonata played with such reverence and tranquility. While pianists use fingers to make music, your peaceful spirit seems to tiptoe on the keyboard instead. Bravaaa
My goodness...I was over the damn moon when I finally was able to play through the 1st movement non-stop. She's amazing. Great technique. Her wrists are exquisite & her dynamics are impeccable.
I taught myself to play this at 14. My father was an accomplished musician and I spent six months practicing without him knowing after school. None of his theatrical nonsense. My father’s tears when he came home from work and discovered me playing his beloved piano. Sometimes you don’t need anything but determination. Xx
At 9:17 I have no idea how she's making it sound it like that, but I absolutely love the left hand part, it sounds so cohesive and expressive. I don't think I've ever heard anyone else make it sound like that.
Amazing performance... and let me also wonder: wonderful Fazioli piano (such perfect sound!!!...). Tiffany you got the perfect spirit of the author of this music: "Playing a wrong note is insignificant. Play without passion is inexcusable." (Beethoven)
That’s how it’s meant to sound. I know she’s put in the work, but she is also gifted. It sounds like she traveled back in time and asked Beethoven how she should play it. Not to mention our pianos are built differently now and it’s hard to achieve the intended sound... no dampers. 😘
Kusagari Blues If it’s Modern or Acapella music it’s called a song. If it’s classical it’s called a piece, and if it’s Jazz or radio, it’s called a tune.
Movement 3 is an absolute nightmare compared to its first two movements. The first two, especially the second, aren't very challenging. But oh boy, the third movement...yeah it's not fun when you have to play it...
@Kirishima No, it's not as hard as Chopin's Ballade no.1 in G minor, or his Winter Wind, or Liszt's La Campanella or his Hungarian Rhapsody no2. But Moonlight Sonata mvt 3, is still pretty difficult. So you can't really say "it's not that hard".
“By exchanging notes, you get to know one another, to understand one another. As if your souls were connected and your hearts were overlapping. It’s a conversation through instruments. A miracle that creates harmony. In that moment, music transcends words.”
Such energy and attack, yet so fluid and steady. I love watching piano player’s hand/body movements almost as much as hearing the music. She’s like a conduit for human emotion to musical melody
she played the 3rd movement perfectly. most young people who can play it just focus on going faster than necessary and forget about all dynamics or actually having it sound good
Tiffany made the piano sing with her beautiful fingers touching the piano keys!On then on the second movement her fingers made the piano sound with si much anger and bitterness while her strong fingers were running soooo fast on the piano keys! Such great contrasts from the first movement! BRAVO!!!!

This is the best interpretation, I ever heard. After 40 years, this girl returned me the love to the piano solo. Beethoven was the first romantic composer. I am sure, this is the way, how he imagined to play his sonatas.
There are several very young pianists now with fantastic capabilities. I like this by MIss Poon but I saw also a versdion by Umi Garrett at 13 years ( the third movement of this Sonata) and I like it even more, the style of Umi is really amazing. YOu can watch the version on INternet.
@@phantomaq My opinion is absolutely another. Tiffany Poon's play is full of emotions, yet clear and accurate. Umi Garrets simply plays quickly, but without emotions and clearness. There are hundreds such a pianist. After discovering Miss Poon's magic, I listened 20-30 others and became sure: Tiffany Poon IS THE BRIGHTEST STAR on the piano sky. Never, neither in the past nor in the present, could anybody shiver my back [with piano] as well, as her play.
@@PETRIK_Lajos I understand your point. But it is a question of preference, for you, Poon is better, but for me, Umi is better, there is nothing you can say that can make me change my mind. Even if you were an expert, you are not the owner of truth. I am sure many other people also prefer Umi. Tiffany is very good, but for many people, other players are better, and you can not change that. Every eprson has right to prefer other players, dont you think? For example, in your mind maybe TP is the best in the world or of all times, but most international experts say the best is Yuja Wang. For others, it is Valentina L. and for others, it is Lang Lang. Others say that Lang makes a lot of mistakes. It is personal preference. Maybe for many people Marilyn Monroe was the most beautiful actress, but for me, others like Jaqueline Bisset (in pictures of her at 25 years) or Jenniffer Connelly at 22 years, were much more beautiful. Just personal opinion. Every person has an opinion, and for me, Umi Garrett is the best, and something in her personality is more magnetic. I prefer her style. Also, Laetitia Hahn is great but I have not watched her to play this piece.
@@phantomaq Yes, I am an expert: my ex piano teacher, a well-known in those times classical conductor, considered me very talented in music, so my musical sense is good. --- This is my last answer. Please, do not waste your time to explain me, why the difference between Bentley and Suzuki is just a matter of taste. As I shall not waste my time on a paid brainwasher.
@@PETRIK_Lajos So because you believe to be an expert you think that the whole world must agree with your opinion, your have serious problems. YOu misundertood a simple thing. And if you are so "talented", why you are not famous in the world? You should be playing concerts in many countries and be in many videos on INternet, like Lang Lang or YUja. - DOnt respond,. I will not read your comment. Be happy with your "fabulous talent", hahaha
I love how she executes the piece as faithfully as she can, without adding so many personal touches or over the top adaptations the way so many well-regarded pianists tend to do. Just pure, clean, Beethoven.
One of my best loved composers !! Tiffany has really played away.
9:09 when your paper is due at midnight and it's 11:59
itsagibruh duh 0:28 - 0:33 is me at 11:59 when I have a paper due
You made me realize I had to hand in a paper today and I didn't
Greatest comment ever.
Ana Bugulet uh oh
😂
Bro simply piano ad right in the middle of this ??! Seriously ?!!?
Just as i read the comment the ad started. It scared the s**t out of me.
i loathe simply piano
Why would they make an app that claims they "teach piano" when its not even doing it properly smh its an awful app just go to a proper piano teacher that actually teaches you how to master piano.. its not just pressing keys😑
just get adblock ??! ?!!?
@@マリシュカ-i2d they are so annoying
I’m here playing Beethoven as well
Ode to Joy.
Slowly then play the liszt arrangement lol
Lol use 1 finger to poke the notes
Lol, nice. Currently working on Op. 2 No. 1.
be playing 7th grade music. ee f gg f e d cc d ee dd
Teach me.
The only thing better than listening to the third movement is watching someone play it.
Actually I would argue that the best thing to do is to play it yourself.
I would love to be able to play it. But I don't have the patience to teach it to myself :(
The only thing better than watching someone play is playing it yourself.

the only thing better then playing it yourself is playing your own material
ryan molina the only thing better then playing your own material, is doing some other stuff
She starts with such delicate grace, like a soft whisper & I'm already captivated. A commercial interrupts, how disturbing. Back to her performance... about 9:09 she bursts into intense emotion with precise control. The power she projects feels like an imaginary back draft of a massive storm, WOW I'm blown away! She exudes a full spectrum of talent & she's only 14 years old! Such breath taking beauty, gentle fluidity, dramatic emotion & charismatic energy, all in the same artist. Her drive & dedication in practice are obvious with this spectacular show! BRAVO!!
She was actually still 13 here. And yes I agree, she started with such delicate grace, it's the best start of the moonlight that I've heard tbh. See how long she took to start playing? Now we know why, and it was worth it.
Best version eher heard
You are bloody hilarious 😂 🤣
@@kstonurai9350 CHERIOOO MATE
@@helloimclaudio racism! 🧐☕
I just can't get over how quiet she got the RH to be at 11:04. To play the Alberti passages soft but controlled is insanely hard and I am saying this as I have also learned this piece before. Amazing 🤩🤩👍
This is the first time I have ever listened to classical music. It made me weep . Is it always this beautiful.
Usually
Welcome to a lifetime of beauty.
can you please stop saying the word weep? ahhh! I'm crying now. ps: I'm a girl. 8ys.
Mostly it is
Yes, and also this is one of the most amazing composers that ever lived (Beethoven) being performed by a girl with true talent and heart in her playing.
I admire how she took a moment before starting, to breathe and enter the door opened by Beethoven, that not that many can do. It also gave the audience a chance to stop and pay attention. Tiffany is wonderful, and can be goofy.
Agreed, letting yourself feel the composer's energy throughout does help with playing their music.
This is absolutely beautiful to watch, when she starts the third movement I was so moved by how many hours she has probably spent on it, literally every single part, note and emotion takes so much effort
Her performance really brings out Beethoven's genius
100%
True
Always someone coughing during the softest part 😂😂😂
Wow.
*( "WAS A~BIT · °DISTRACTING" ! ) 👀🙊👀 €¥£ ^
Heard it.
I saw your message just in time for the video to show the coughing scene.😂
Anyone pointing out her (very few) errors needs to try being a player, rather than a spectator. It takes real guts to perform.
I get stage fright playing by myself
I've only heard one version with no missed notes. ONE.
@@Dobiegal I guess you’ve never heard mine, them.
@@carpballet I'll sure take a listen. Link?
@@Dobiegal Link to what?
Long, long time since I heard this sonata played with such reverence and tranquility. While pianists use fingers to make music, your peaceful spirit seems to tiptoe on the keyboard instead. Bravaaa
Thanks!
Her parents should be amazingly proud. That is incredible! Absoulu
My goodness...I was over the damn moon when I finally was able to play through the 1st movement non-stop. She's amazing. Great technique. Her wrists are exquisite & her dynamics are impeccable.
she plays with such passion, grace and perfection!
It doesn't get any harder or better than that flawless performance right there folks!💥💯Holy smokes she is pure 🔥🔥💯
Stellar performance.
Btw...that is an interesting piano bench...
+Benedikt Scherer lol
I agree
+MusicMike512
Never seen that bench before either!
+Ein Scherer Oh, I feel poor for the person whose name starts with a I
It’s a bench especially for like contests and stuff in Asia
My dad used to play Beethoven during the 1950’s on his homemade hi-fi over and over. I got sick of it.
Looking back, i thank him for what he gave me.
Bringing tears to my eyes every time I hear this. What a gifted artist she is.
This sonata is a beautiful piece on its own, but the way someone plays it makes such a difference. Props to her. She did a wonderful job!
Best version of Beethoven Moonlight I've ever heard. Bravo.
Greatest song ever written. brilliant performance, should be very proud
the emotions she has put into this perfomance is what makes this so beautiful
I taught myself to play this at 14. My father was an accomplished musician and I spent six months practicing without him knowing after school. None of his theatrical nonsense. My father’s tears when he came home from work and discovered me playing his beloved piano. Sometimes you don’t need anything but determination. Xx
At 9:17 I have no idea how she's making it sound it like that, but I absolutely love the left hand part, it sounds so cohesive and expressive. I don't think I've ever heard anyone else make it sound like that.
Volvocloud petals
Yes, but there is also technique to it.
Volvocloud she crescendo’s then goes down and crescendo’s again- she also uses the far most left pedal I think there
her playing still is so gentle and patient, enjoying each note. it's so amazing i love her interpretation. (in the first movement)
0:35 ..Whispering : " I am Beethoven, Beethoven is me " Than She starting playing. (Y)
Woah...
One New is that a Star Wars reference?
I'm a performer, and actually it's a mandatory thing to do before every training session or performance
and in that moment she was Beethoven
I am speed, i AM SPEED ,IIIII AAAMMMM SSPPEEEDDD
13 years. I hope this hardworking young woman has found fulfillment and happiness in this world.
listening to this before my parents kick me out of the house after failing my calculus subject.
How's it like being homeless
Update pls
4am Curiosity
“4am curiosity” is a great fucking name. If you didn’t take that from somewhere, good on ya
Also, she has this all committed to memory. There's no sheet music in sight! Wow such talent!
Me: (Can play twinkle twinkle little star) Wow I'm awesome at playing the piano
Tiffany: *exists*
Me: Cries self to sleep
OMG same XD
Wait, u mean variations on Twinkle twinkle?
+Istari Pallando I don't think he is referring too the full piece lol
+Cristian Perez Except for the 3rd movement.
If you can play Mozarts Twinkle Twinkle Little Star then thats actually good
The performance was so extraordinarily good that it brought tears into my eyes. That was unbelievable.
Moonlight's 3rd Movement will always be my favourite!
13 years old!!! Wow! Amazing congratulations
WHAT! only 13! my word!
WHAT?! she looks so mature in this... i thought she was like fifteen or something
@@rodge6625 maybe because she wears a dress and a little bit of makeup
This girl does Beethoven justice!!
Bean 1045 Everyone should give Beethoven a try. It might never get ready for a concert hall, but it's nice music to play.
Children can feel better, or seems to be reflected in the music
wow its such a perfect interpretation. how do they learn to be maestros like that. ahhh man this is sublime
9:03 me when i check a group chat getting ready to fire back with these texts and they tryna roast me thinkin im not there
You're funny ! lol
Ayim Jakypbek HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ayim Jakypbek LOLOLOL
🤷♀️same
An ad?
Amazing performance... and let me also wonder: wonderful Fazioli piano (such perfect sound!!!...).
Tiffany you got the perfect spirit of the author of this music:
"Playing a wrong note is insignificant. Play without passion is inexcusable." (Beethoven)
She killed it on the 3rd movement oh my gosh, gg girl!!!
Watch also UMi Garrett's version of tha same movement, whwn Umi was 13 years old .
She's like a full purple peony swaying gracefully in the wind.
That is how she plays.
i like the emotion she puts into playing this piece.
That’s how it’s meant to sound. I know she’s put in the work, but she is also gifted. It sounds like she traveled back in time and asked Beethoven how she should play it. Not to mention our pianos are built differently now and it’s hard to achieve the intended sound... no dampers. 😘
"You look taller,Oh wait its because you're not looking down anymore"
You deserve so many likes
stop, you're gonna make me cry...
No matter what, if there's a piano video, someone has referenced Your Lie in April
@@jeremykalhok7324 ye in every single piano video someone has to reference Your lie in april
"Tears are the words the heart cant say"
People who have mastered all 3 movements, with emotion , they have ascended to what is know as a EXQUISTE HUMAN BEING.
Perhaps one of the greatest songs ever written.
totally agree!!!
It's not a song, because they have vocals.
Kusagari Blues If it’s Modern or Acapella music it’s called a song. If it’s classical it’s called a piece, and if it’s Jazz or radio, it’s called a tune.
Song, piece or tune, I agree, it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard.
@@andymilsten9096 Actually it's a piano sonata. Why not be precise when it's so easy to do so?
One of the best interpretation of the first movement!
i was thinking to myself, "Hey, I could learn to play this". Then I got to 9:00. Well never mind then......
Movement 3 is an absolute nightmare compared to its first two movements. The first two, especially the second, aren't very challenging. But oh boy, the third movement...yeah it's not fun when you have to play it...
It really does require a lot of dedication to play that. I only have the first page down myself.
You can still at least play the 1st movement ! that's a good start
@Kirishima No, it's not as hard as Chopin's Ballade no.1 in G minor, or his Winter Wind, or Liszt's La Campanella or his Hungarian Rhapsody no2. But Moonlight Sonata mvt 3, is still pretty difficult. So you can't really say "it's not that hard".
@Kirishima Yes, I can play the first 3-4 pages actually. lol
“By exchanging notes, you get to know one another, to understand one another. As if your souls were connected and your hearts were overlapping. It’s a conversation through instruments. A miracle that creates harmony. In that moment, music transcends words.”
A talented young woman we all can be very proud to listen to. Great job!
This girl is FANTASTIC - lightness, beauty, clarity, delicacy ----
Etc etc .👏🏿👏🏿
TULIO FUZATO BEETHOVEN is fantastic ! And she is a good pianist !
playing piano tiles made me love classical music
same situation
clearly a man of refined culture
Playing piano tiles made me learn piano
Abhay Namboodiri this comment made my day 😂
Piano tiles = no rhythm
Came for the First Movement. Stayed for the Third! Kudos to you, Tiffany!
I got goose bumps as soon as she started playing and they aren't going away...
+✠NZNS✠ You forgot to add Tiffany to the equation
***** They subside when i pause the video. hehe
You should probably get that check out
***** I didn't know i could shop on RUclips.
+Josh Latham Stop drinking ice cold water while watching youtube.

3th?
Emily Andrea 😂😂😂
No thanks
Such energy and attack, yet so fluid and steady. I love watching piano player’s hand/body movements almost as much as hearing the music. She’s like a conduit for human emotion to musical melody
You can just tell she loves the piece so much, it just flows. That's a lot of hard work combined with passion, really wonderful to hear
You are one of the best piano players I have ever seen! So beautifully played
That seriously gave me chills. you are unbelievably connected with sound ;)
This was the best performance I've ever seen of Moonlight Sonata
The plasticity and beauty of her technique are unique, her fingers dance and produced a perfect sound...
This is the best recital of this piece of music that I have ever heard.Amazing.beautiful,perfect.
This is great but I wonder if she can play sandstorm by Darude ?
I could play that on a keyboard. It won't sound great but I can :)
This girl has the ability to play everything and anything on the Piano. Just give her the music sheet. That's it.
I'm pretty sure she could, easily
MY GOD THIS IS CLEARLY A JOKE STOP RESPONDING WITH SERIOUS ANSWERS.
she played the 3rd movement perfectly. most young people who can play it just focus on going faster than necessary and forget about all dynamics or actually having it sound good
Tiffany made the piano sing with her beautiful fingers touching the piano keys!On then on the second movement her fingers made the piano sound with si much anger and bitterness while her strong fingers were running soooo fast on the piano keys! Such great contrasts from the first movement! BRAVO!!!!
I’m so taken with her performance that maestro Beethoven must be smiling with tears of joy in his eyes as well. Thank you dear lady!
