1:14 "That part is always great when I practice, but when on stage it's always fucking up."; Never have I ever related to something so much in my entire life
I witnessed her live in Berlin the 17th of May, it was incredible :D She played Beethoven, Schönberg, Ligeti, Scriabin, Albéniz, Kapustin, and almost a DOZEN encore pieces, each one separated by a lot of (standing) applause and Yuja bows of course :D
going down that fast is possible, but how she gets back up straight that fast, try it, not only it's not easy but it tells something about her piano athleticism.
I didn't know content like this existed. Classical music-related memes, I mean. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE? Subbing right away because I live for this shit ❤
i feel like she consciously tries to be as laid back and confident as she can so that it will reflect in her playing. like, if you force yourself to smile, your brain will be tricked to give the happy hormones (:D). so i see the bowing as relaxing before and after such intense focusing. it also just looks very graceful and dancer-esque, i admire her unapologetic attitude so much as a hunchbacked mouse
When asked about the way she bows Yuja said the deep bow is to show her appreciation for the audience who comes to see her craft. I might add it's also a culturally Asian thing in that a deeper bow is a common expression to show respect and gratitude.
She's a beautiful person ❤️ I witnessed her when she came to Peru 🇵🇪, my country, to give an amazing piano concert. She is indeed very talented and one of my favorite pianists
When Piergiorgio is listening to Yuja playing at 11 years old at the end, and leaves the room in disgust (obviously feeling unworthy), that was so funny! Though in reality, this is pretty much how so many of us pianists feel. I thank God every day that I am at the very least a decent composer....Ha! ... Peace! 🎼❤☮
Great compilation of one the premier classical artists of modern times! The world needs more of her talent, along with a great sense of humor and personality without the pretense...It's fun, and healthy.
I guess I could call myself a piano prodigy, and I can relate to this. I can sight read pieces, and hard ones, incredibly fast. I recognize chord progression, and I have very good technique, and I learn quick as a result of this.
The guy in the second clip is Tarmo Peltokoski, a Finnish pianist, composer and conductor. I've been in a piano competition with him (he won easily) and I've seen him live twice since that. I can tell you, that guy is a genius. His improvisation skills are unbelievable. He does these encores where he improvises pieces based on popular tunes suggested by the audience. And on top of that, he's also the nicest and funniest guy!
Wait, he's so genius almost no one knows about him while another conductor and violinist Andre Rieu has has a whopping +5 millions subscribers on his channel, lol.
@@Illawong China mass produces virtuoso in thousands, ok, so who cares. The major thing that made Yuja more famous than the other Chinese virtouso must be her dressing and sexy looks at concerts 🤓
When Kreisler heard Heifetz play, he is said to have remarked, "We might as well take our fiddles and break them across our knees." Every time I hear Yuja Wang play, I want to fill my piano with water to the brim and drown myself in it. And I'm a violinist. I can't imagine what pianists feel like.

@@bencallender5061 nothing I’m just in trouble. I don’t remember what I said in our last ft call bc I was too drunk. I had two friends and I brought them to my room cuz one got too drunk and threw up. And when I brought them there I was apparently cussing a lot and my parents heard it so yeah. You have no idea how simplified that is.
oh god! I'm 16 (turned 16 on Monday) and I can only play Chopin's ballade no.1 and Clair de Lune in terms of "big pieces". that last part when she was 11 was just depressing to watch, but still, she is just absolutely amazing!!!!!
Chopin's first ballade is no joke! Lots of challenges leading into the coda and of course the coda itself. But you're right, there's no doubt hearing her play like that was at least a little bit depressing hahaha
@@PiergiorgioWilson yeah, I taught it to my self without a teacher (I’m not self taught tho 😳) and when I started in November last year, I remember I kept saying to myself I couldn’t do it. I learnt some new things about my hands and their ability XD. Anyway, watching Yuja tho just is a whole different perspective, I mean watching most high end pianists is just jaw dropping.
@@LTD-Limited if want to find more cool things your hands can do i would def suggest learning chopin’s 17th waltz. it’s so fun and dramatic. there isn’t any significant key changes and the left and basically stays the same the whole time but it sounds so familiar, like i’ve know it my whole life
@@jamesrawlins735 I thought of the same thing but somehow I get a feeling that the Two Set Violin is not too keen about Yuja. They goof around a lot but are quite conservative in some ways and I think Yuja hits some nerves in them. For example, Brett had a disapproving reaction to Yuja showing her annoyance to her page turner in one of the videos.
