Sorry for the typos... 9:36 I had to edit this at the airport/on the turbulent plane as quick as possible for you before concert 😵💫
🙂
entitled much?
@@dalegend5924 lmaooo thats so irrelevent
@@vector8377 no, it is a valid point.
@@dalegend5924 feel free to explain
As a non-musician, I learn more from your imaginative and intelligent videos than from anywhere else. Thank you, and I hope the concert goes really, really well.
I love your intriguing soliloquy with the camera facing the food, and the sounds of the plastic and utensil and spudding of the food--it's quote humorous and amusing in contrast to the serious discussion! Your videos are great! And, even though you're extremely well trained beyond most of us, your piano playing is really inspiring to little ole me. Thank you for your medley of videos and connecting with all of us!
Birds, squirrels, the Steinway Vault, and Tiffany playing the piano in the Vault. The perfect Tiffany video. 😊
Have a great time at the concert, Tiffany!
I am super excited and I was actually just thinking today to listen to a bunch of these Schumann pieces. so This vlog is perfect. Can't wait for your show tomorrow.
Great idea, Tiffany to explain a bit about the program you’re going to play before the concert. That’s kinda became a tradition here in Germany where I live. I myself feel strange NOT talking to a public during my concerts and I see musicians do it more and more even during big concerts. Takes more energy from musicians but totally worth it!
Life is a never ending struggle between thinking and doing, too much one or the other puts us off balance. Nice to see smiling again, it's such a precious gift you spread.
Absolutely right！
Thanks to you (& Steinway & the Kennedy Center & Robert & Clara) for a wonderful recital!
(I was the one who shouted, "Welcome back!" when you were telling us how you hadn't performed in front of a live audience for over a year.)
It was manifest how much you love their music - you really poured your soul into it!
And it was great to get to see you live. (So this person *isn't* just dots on a screen after all!)
My housemate & I both thoroughly enjoyed it - she had a bit more familiarity with Robert than I, and very much appreciated hearing Clara's music being featured as well.
In the words of 80's gal trio, The Roches, "Keep on doing what *you* do!"

You have a refined and sensitive and endearing soul Tiffany: able to distil and communicate a healthy and lifelong harmonius passion for music and life with all it's ups and downs.
Thankyou on behalf of everyone and everything x x
We should love to do much more for you Tiffany, We are in your very capable hands. You boldly go and beautifully perform where others have not been or done ! Sorry about the split infinitives !
listening to tiffany's sensational talks is as enjoyable as listening to her playing the piano
Sees upload from Tiffany..... Stops the whole world and clicks open it before another heart beat pass by..... Thank you for being you..... #be_kind_keep_striving ❤️
I watched this video again after seeing your wonderful concert in DC. Great performance! I found your message very useful for perceiving a different prospective on the music. You should definitely plan to do more of this type of video.
Thanks Tiffany. You are doing such enriching, positive things by being You. Your playing in this video of familiar pieces, was so fresh. Couldn't afford a trip to DC; but just unwrapped my 'Meet George Gershwin at the Piano' which HE published in 1938, and preparing for a fancy Christmas party gig on Tuesday.
Hi Tiffany. It was sold out when I first searched, but then a ticket became available. I will be happy to drive to DC tomorrow. Nothing can match a live concert; we do not listen only with ears. As you said: "part of the same thing ... just sit in different places"
Tiffany poon always preaching Robert and Clara Schumann....
Small thing but that transition at 3:01 between the two movements fits SO perfectly
Edit: that transition in itself helped with my understanding/picturing of kinderszenen :o
I love the idea of filming from underneath the piano!! It feels super cosy, but also makes you appreciate the piano as a very large piece of furniture and machinery at the same time, one made of wood as well, which the glossy, shiny black outside appearence makes less tangible.
Wohoo didn't expect GRWM series to come back! Very excited!!
Edit: After watching it, this is a 'literal' GRWM with some amazing insights on how to enjoy classical music! It's very helpful to non-musicians like me who try to appreciate it but aren't sure what to truly look out for! Great idea here!
And Good luck for the concert tomorrow!
I HAVE TICKETS!
I waited until today to look at your video on Schumann. I wanted to participate in the listening even though I am not able to attend your concert. 😭I loved your GRWM video because you took a more human approach with so many connections about your concert - by making this music have life in this way. I love how you are bringing out how much Clara respected and loved her husband, Robert by sharing both of their stories. I also love how you are anting the audience to grow with you as a musician. We all become musicians in a way. Listening is also art in a way we listen to understand what we are hearing. The more we listen with understanding the more we can retain it. I hope I make some sense. =) (Tara)
Mayne best wishes on your concert! Be safe!
Delightful. Informative. Captivating.
I very much enjoyed your concept for this video. Learning how to listen and appreciate music is one of the main reasons I am here, and I am glad to hear you discuss it. Good luck tomorrow.
This is so informative for listeners! Best wishes for your recital tomorrow! 🙏🙏🙏
I didn't knew how much I needed another Get Ready With Me!!! :D
My best wishes for your concert in 6 hours time.
Loved the guided listening! Learned a lot about how to appreciate the music and definitely looking forward to seeing more of your comments about the music you play!
Your'e doing great ! ......... Good to see you playing and sayin 'Yes' to life ..... :D
Laughed out loud at the smashed sandwich ......
Thank you Tiffany, simply brilliant! A new dimension to your videos.
The fantasy of music... enjoy your upcoming concert...It going to have a lot of fun. Thank you for sharing...
👍 🎶🙏🎈💖
Enjoyed watching this and I am just so very excited for your debut at the Kennedy Center. I feel as the others do who have followed your journey all these years, so blessed to have this experience with you. Love the pigeons flying amongst the trees, as well as your practice at Steinway. And, wow, you’re right. I have never seen the Vault so empty!! That is so kind of them to prep a piano for you. I enjoyed the quotes about not really being lost. Finally, I found your stories about the Schumanns very enlightening. You continue to inspire all of us to keep striving everyday in what we’re passionate about. Thank you, Tifanny and congratulations to you !!🙏❣️🎹
Wishing you the best for tomorrow and I hope that everyone who can be there has a great time.
I should have been in Washington today myself, exploring the city for the first time and getting ready for your concert tomorrow. Yet, here I am, sitting behind my computer at home in Europe trying to get as much refunded as possible (and I'll send some of that towards your charity ;) ) . Wish I could have been there, but travel these days is so difficult :( .
Very nice.
Good luck with concert and still looking forward to cd or even a concert video?
I know what you are saying about adapting to different pianos when going to different places. When I was in college, in the 70's, I went to a state school that had an extensive music department that has graduated many great musicians. On time Stan Getz's band came there to play. Probably everyone knows this, Stan was one of the great jazz tenor saxophonists and had a great band. I got to the venue early to watch them warm up. The school supplied a piano for the band to use and you would think it being a music school would supply a great piano. No, they did not, not only was the piano a not very good one but it was out of tune! Now there is adapting but this instrument was just unplayable. No words, I was so embarrassed. Well thank goodness it was early enough that the piano got replaced, with a Steinway by the way, and the concert went on without a hitch. Stan took this all-in stride and actually laughed about it. He was a really class act.
Best wishes with your concert, I know you will do great.
You're right - she did!
Fred
Very interesting and detailed ways to truly see and feel the art of sound waves 🤩
Thank you Tiffany 🙂
Have a joyful recital day……
I might look out for a few Robert Schumann pieces to play. I learnt to play from his Carnival many years ago.
Have you played Schumann's Kreisleriana? I love the set of pieces and it would be awesome to see how you would interpret it.
Awesome!!! I am looking forward to the release of both of your albums (your Schumann album and the album you’re doing with Eric Jacobsen)
I was privileged to attend the concert at the Kennedy Center. It was a marvelous performance and your personal comments at the end were sensitive and very personal. My only regret was that the covid situation prevented the opportunity to meet you in person. We traveled from Cleveland and hope to attend future performances
So happy for you!! :)
Adorabile
If you think explaining what we feel from music helps then I think you are braver than I had first thought. Music is a wonderful source of comfort even for we so often held to not respond to such encouragements, even then it is a great comfort and wonderful encouragement. I thank all of you artists all of the time over internet channels for helping us absorbers of your endeavour connect to these simple and wonderfully felt understandings.
I hope I explained that ok.
Thank you…. and if you celebrate Christmas, have a wonderful festive season. 😎
What a confident intelligent lady
I like the way you play schumann. Schumann is not my favorite composer, but i was born and raised in the same city as him, and so he has always been a dignified part of my life.
Tiffany, un merveilleux 💎 Un des plus beaux 💎 du monde
Your vlogs are such a joy to watch :) I came into classical music late and I really love to hear your perspective as a performer on these pieces. Look forward to seeing more!
Love your vlogs Tiffany. Your a beautiful and articulate person. I enjoy your dense of humour. Intelligent and lovely to listen to both vocally and of course threw your performances.
Be yourself and strive forwards xox
Explaining the listening aspect to Robert Schumann's pieces really helped me interpret his music much better! You're right, it's so much more enjoyable when you realize there are meanings behind every articulation and dymanic in a piece. It's all there for a reason haha! Can't wait to see you tomorrow! Great video (btw love the editing!!)
Your Robert Schumann is some of my favorite music :D particularly the G Minor Sonata you uploaded on your birthday :> I’m sure the concert will bring the same beauty, though I’m not on that side of the world-
Best of luck!!
Safe travels & "Toi Toi Toi" for the performance!! ✨🎶👍
I wish I was going I know you will be great and thank you love your channel
just love the vegetable smiley-face on the fridge
Thanks Tiffany for GRWM and valuable advice to the listeners. I wish tomorrow's concert to make history. How sorry I am that I will not be there!
Dear Tiffany, beautiful content! Thank you for sharing this with us: )
Best music appreciation lesson ever!
Nice video.....nice music...thanks god you were Covid negative....😊...you are very talented playing....cheers...love music....thanks for sharing...subscribed...greetings from Travel China...
It's so sweet to hold on to the thought of you.
I wish you all the best at your concert.
Glad to see you better, Tif 😊
I wish you nothing but good luck with the concert. I'm sure you will be amazing. Unfortunately I do not live near the DC area and not able to attended. As always, I love this new format and look forward to hearing about the concert.
Looking at your time management and dedication to posting this before the concert and editing along the way: Wow, just wow. I'm starting to dream again, "Why didn't I just fly to the US". No, that's over the top, stop it. Good luck Tiffany🤞
I have to say that I really enjoy watching your gorgeous videos ！ so keep it on！love
Would be great if you could do a concert in London at some point - it would be an incredible experience hearing your play live. 😊
My friend and I loved your concert at the Kennedy Center! We felt that the order of the pieces and the selection of the program was very intentional and would love to hear your thoughts about why you chose these specific pieces in the order that you did.
Thank you for a beautiful performance!
love these videos, so thought provoking and aesthetic. really just amazing ^^
Sorry for the typos ... 9:36 I had to edits this at the airport / on the turbulent plane as quick as possible for you before concert
Ohh your eyes!! 😍
I would love to keep COVID out of classical.
Good video. Good audio. Good editing. Good font for the text. Best wishes for your performance.
This was such a beautiful video! And I feel like I learned a lot.
This video made me wish I could be at your concert haha... The best of luck to you!
You are Steinberg's number 1 fan and they are yours.
You are so adorable & sweet, and so wonderfully talented!!🌺 Program notes are important and can be interesting, but in no way do they enhance the listening experience. Only listening to a piece multiple times can do that… and unfortunately, for a listener at a live concert , there is only so much we can absorb at any given time. Now, if only the performer could play the piece once, showcase / discuss some highlights of that piece, then play it again, then that would be so fantastic!! 😊
wish i could listen to your concert from the other side of the world! 😅 (break a leg, don't worry about expectations - you'll surely exceed them!) but thanks to you i've been getting a lot more into the schumanns' music very lately; both listening and playing 🥰 this video definitely helped me even more with understanding their music 💝
Learned alot of this vlog!
Just want to ask of what you think about R.Schumann's Kreisleriana op.16? In one his letters, he called it as his "favourite work". Are you also planning to study and perform this piece in the future?
Tiffany!!! Can you please play Waltz of the Flowers 🌸
Notes on your concert programme could be exceptionally helpful if the notes highlighted the musical connections between the two Schumannns. I suspect there is much private messaging involved of which we only recognise a part.
Enjoyable with annotations, I could devour much more...)))
u are not Negative :)
I had to laugh when I readed the "ha ha ha" after the "sometimes you laugh"
hi
Can you come to Milwaukee? I’m dying to see a concert by you
You are the queen of drama! Was the COVID scare even real?? :-)
I'd like to know more about the sandwich.
Will your concert tomorrow be recorded?
As to the covid, I'm very glad you are negative. I believe I was stricken with the covid twice this year. Both times, it felt like I had been hit by a full size grand piano 🤣🤪🤪, and the dry coughing lasted for almost two months each time.
Tiffany whacked me over the head with her piano y'all, can you believe that s&>/? 🤣🤣🤣🙃
Wondering if some of your thoughts and journey through Schuman's music is printed up in the program to hand out explaining some of this so the audience can appreciate it?
Will we have a recording of the concert?
No, I'm sorry. I hate disappointing you...wish no one asked 😕
I don't play, so I don't know but like to ask: When you're not bringing your own piano everywhere, does this open up possibilities to 'make new friends' with other piano's, or is the risk of meeting one that doesn't suit you one you rather don't take?
Have a good time tomorrow!
For sure, new friends!!

Interpreting the love of others is just a dismantling test, your love?

what is the orange-colored ingredient in your sandwich?
salmon
When I perform a recital I drink five 🔫 of Martinis
If you're wanting to think more philosophically progressively in relation to music you need to steep yourself in Busoni's sketch of a new aesthetic
