Damn, this guy is studying for a bachelor's degree in Economics at Harvard while also studying for a master's in piano performance, that's really impressive.
This student seems to be really relaxed even if hes facing one of the best pianist in the world and playing on such a stage. I really hope he can be someone famous like langlang in the future
Dude's got a lot of potential. His ability to make adjustments and really absorb what Lang Lang was saying in the moment. I was always terrible at that in master classes. It's like...can you give me an hour to work on that first? 😣
lang lang could play all the chopin etudes when he was 12 (to apply for curtis)...now *he* was achieved a lot at a young age, and even more in old age. (like now)
He's such an expressive pianist especially at the longer and slower sections in this piece. he really puts a lot of emotion in this piece and I can also feel it inside. This is such an important quality as a pianist. Lang Lang also did an incredible job pointing out the parts where he needed to improve.
Master Lang Lang very careful about the dynamics,rhythm and clear articulation which gives out the character of this piece. Clayton has good technical and very talented student.
Lang Lang really brought the life, breath and even temperature of the piece through the subtle change of the rythme, contrast, length and force of the sound and make the clash to your spirit happen. He can really easily make any notes no longer flat and piled up, but with so many layers, depth, colors and complexity. It also likes he can easily creat a magical line to link to your heart and lead it to anywhere the music want u to go but also in a very smooth, warm and comfortable way full of love and romance. Yes, really enjoy watching those masterclass. You can easily understand and hear the difference, perticular where is the “clash” from excellent to real Master! I think those young people should be really appreciated those teaching. Because the earlier to realize those small but critical details and start to practice to improve their performance, the sooner they can outstand themselves among so many talents! OMG, GOD just gave so many gifts to people! And people who success not only need time, efforts but also a good teacher from early age! Relatively, opportunity is important but not that important because when it comes, the people who well acculturated and prepared can get it.
I love how the people walking by in the background are captivated and brought to a dead stop and the fact that you can't see any of their faces. The body language speaks so much volume.
Quite literally. I feel his mastery of and control over dynamics specifically is near unrivaled. He is so expressive with his dynamic range and it's a joy to listen to.

These musicians are spectacular but look how much a great teacher can do for you!! The shit is so subtle but so intricate, it elevates their already amazing playing and makes it even better.
I don’t know how this channel dropped into my list but I’m so glad it did. I subscribed. I’ve never seen a master class before and am mesmerized by this video. Brilliant. Thanks for posting.
16:40 - it is interesting what Lang Lang says about him preferring the beginning being played without pedal and staccato. A lot of performers mirror his thoughts - and it does create a certain scary percussive effect. Liszt however indicated pedal all through the opening passage. Now I believe every pianist has a right to an individual interpretation (and I like the opening with or without pedal - it sounds unique and just mind-blowingly modern for a piece from the mid-1800s either way:), but it would have been nice to hear Lang Lang mention that Mr. Stephenson actually played the beginning more in line with Liszt's score.
My guess is that Liszt indicates pedal throughout the beginning because the pianos back then were a lot dryer sounding in comparison to today’s richer sounding pianos
Wow impressive masterclass. The student is already excellent but with additional inputs from Lang lang, the piece displayed more life into it. Well done!
That pianist really is very good. Often u get technical beasts who can shred scales and arpeggios but play like robots with no soul. This guy has everything. You truly feel when he plays, and he took Lang Lang’s advice on really well. Surely has everything to be a future great
The piece sounds more contemporary than classical to me, but that kid Clayton is so good! OMG'oodness. He's going to be a fabulous addition to the industry. It definitely does not sound any where near easy.
Me gusta más el touching the Clayton que el del mismo Lang, y mucho menos “tragicómico” también, este chico tiene una sensibilidad muy especial y una dinámica envidiable.. y muy bien tecnicamente...BRAVO

THE MOST IMPRESSIVE MOMENTS FOR ME ARE HE CAN REMEMBER ALL OF THE PLACE NEEDED TO BE IMPROVED, AND POINTED OUT EVERY SINGLE ONE EXACTLY.
Sometimes music can't be expressed with words... But it can be explained with "DA DA TEEERA DA DA TEEERA TEEERA TEEERA"
This student seems to be really relaxed even if hes facing one of the best pianist in the world and playing on such a stage. I really hope he can be someone famous like langlang in the future
It seems that he's been taught by lang lang before, so he's a bit more relaxed
Agree
Prophecy fulfilled
hes now a cliburn finalist!

mmm thats debatable

не зря же для него самого Ланг Ланга пригласили.. миллионы долларов наверно его мастер класс стоит
17:35 that improvement was ridiculous. Lang Lang is such a good teacher it’s actually crazy.
"are you ok?" lol
agree!
Also the improvement around was 21:45 was amazing brought out so much more depth
An Example of what a great teacher can do to a great student!
The Force is strong with this one
I see yoda too

This is such an important quality as a pianist. Lang Lang also did an incredible job pointing out the parts where he needed to improve.
I agree, but I personally like a little faster and louder interpretation. Because it is the "Mephisto" waltz
Master Lang Lang very careful about the dynamics,rhythm and clear articulation which gives out the character of this piece. Clayton has good technical and very talented student.
Soewanto widjaja so true
Incredible! 17 y/o kid who plays like a mature maestro. Amazing & koodoos to you young man.
Lang Lang, the best vocal teacher.
Lang Lang: Slaps piano
Lang Lang: This is more effective
估计没有人跟我一样是看了青春环游记喜欢上了郎朗再来看他的大师课的。 以前总觉得他鬼畜般的表情难以接受， 但是在青春环游记里面看到了一个搞笑，呆萌，聪明和超强执行力的郎朗才明白一代鬼畜钢琴大师是如何形成的。 他不管在大师课还是在综艺节目其实都是非常平易近人和搞笑的。 他的第六感和感受力也是超强， 所以能把音乐展现的如此丰富，而且逗比好玩。 另外他对于其他人也是非常尊重，一点大师的架子也没有， 综艺感来了什么都会做。 真是能把万事做到极致的人。 佩服，点赞， 粉了。
同感!
我是因为郎朗看青春环游记😂
他真的很可爱。

This really makes you realize how good Lang Lang is if pianists at this high of a playing level are seeking him out for advice.
Lol I would lose my shit if Lang Lang was my teacher, let alone 100 people watching me at the same time lmfao
Exactly
Would love to watch you shit
wearewon lmao wtf

@@sliipegs3441 felt the original comment was worded a funny and exploited that.
When he played first time it’s so good. After Lang’s instruction it’s so much better and expressive. He’s a really good teacher.
I love how the people walking by in the background are captivated and brought to a dead stop and the fact that you can't see any of their faces. The body language speaks so much volume.
"Let's make it human". Lang Lang, the artist, the philanthropist, the entrepreneur is paying back 👍❤️
Liszt and his soft terror love in young hands 8:01. Thank you talented boy.
He's from northeastern china, ppl from that area is really genuine and humorous
Thank you. Perfect . The result of proper training is training extraordinary musicians
從這一刻 我喜歡朗朗了 這是音樂家 也是純粹的喜愛與熱忱
What's so amazing is that he is already an impressive piano player but when lang lang plays…you immediately noticed it's masterpiece! Dadadadadada…
This young boy is very talented. well done!
You know your doing good when you instructor is doing alot of subtle smiles :^)
Also when he said "let's make it human" loved it.

Great way to show a live piano lesson!
What passion and what inspiration. Thank you Lang Lang! And Clayton is a brilliant young man with wonderful sportsmanship!
28:28 the moment when even Lang Lang realizes his metaphors are bizarre. So cute 😂😂
Somehow 28:28 reminds me of lang lang because he has the same name twice and the time is also 28 two times. Dont ask
@@ludicroussealanimations3643 such name are prevalent among chinese but it's weird if one doesn't know it focus more on the tone of the name which represent two meaning.
Euphemism? I'd say it's more of a metaphor
I think he was trying to mention tinkerbell but didn't know her name or how to describe her haha
Did he say something about drunk and Argerich in the same breath? 🤷♀️😱

I do appreciate this man. He can already be a teacher here in Africa. He is realy great and great. Thanks for the job
I think he’s good enough to be a teacher just about anywhere in the world. I’m speechless

Sometime music can't be said. When you wanna explain what u want about music, about the details, u need to use all the way u can.
Totally agree！
The conductor 😂
That’s in Paris I actually was in the hall ( I just realized) but there was a different master class with capuccon (the cellist)
Wow this piece is absolutely beautiful. And the way he plays is so at ease, such a pleasant pianist to watch!
I just came up with this video watching Van Cliburn competition.
