Don’t stop talking about Schumann! It’s honestly super interesting to see another musician’s addiction/obsession (not sure what the right word is), since I have the same obsession with Mahler, going two years strong haha! It’s fun to see and learn about other composers, especially as in depth as someone with an obsession would go. Plus, it allowed you to bring up so many other things even as you explored that composer, like musical philosophy, Clara Schumann, other Romantic composers and pieces, etc. Also love this type of video! These lists are very helpful to see as a piano learner. Also x2 Der Dichter Spricht is everything to me ❤️
Hi, Tiffany, big fan here. Although being ignorant about music, watching your videos calms me down during this difficult time of my life. Struggling with all kinds of things, I find myself getting used to watching your videos while feeling down, and I find myself willing to strive for another day. I actually did study piano for a year or two when I was little but at that time just did not get the beaty of it, and I am thinking about starting again as an adult now. And as one of many people you inspired, I just wanna say thank you from my heart. Keep striving.
🥺 Thank you, Leo. It's been a very difficult week for me... Reading your message help me keep going. If you choose to start piano again, I hope you have a great time 🎶
Interesting detail coming through from Tiffany here we went from Mendelssohn composition in 1830 to Liszt in 1845, covering 15 years. Tiffany has developed a very attractive conversational dialogue to accompany her piano playing for us.
I love that quote of Schumann's at the beginning. I have thought to myself previously that some of the things I learn from your videos is a lot like learning about literary devices in poetry. You can just read the words of a poem without knowing about this whole other layer of meaning that can exist. Often times with music I might be able to sense the feeling of it, but not really have any clue why. I certainly don't need to know why to enjoy it, but my brain incessantly likes to know the why of everything. So learning some of the details and how they exist within the music adds a new layer of enjoyment to it. Thank you as always for sharing your precious time.
I would LOVE to see you perform, LIVE... Someday.... GOOD LUCK at The Kennedy Center ! The Terrace Theater a very beautiful yet intimate venue. Wish I could be there.....
I'm learning so much from your videos, having never studied music, but playing piano over the years when I had the luxury of regular access to a piano. I'm finally learning how much more there is to the music than the notes on the page.
A fscinating disussion much of which is over my head but I am always impressed by your honest and humble presentation while demonstrating your wonderful skills as a pianist and as a person.
Great video! As I wrote in the Patreon post as well, I absolutely love it when you go into great detail about things you're passionate about. Looking forward to more videos like this!
Imagine for a moment that someone’s been working on some pieces of a certain repertoire because there was a concert on the way. But all of a sudden the concert has been suspended. What an unfair world!
I love this new series, Tiffany! I’m super inspired about the moving fast and playing slow concept. There’s a lot of aerial gymnastics even in an easy Chopin waltz and this really helps button down the “placement” as *part* of a piece. Just like rests are part of a piece. Thank you 😊
Thank you always for not only bringing us your wholesome music and also your unique interpretation and insight of the pieces(: and i guess that's what makes us genuine as human we are
Sorry Tiffany about your cancelled recitals. I've been suffering from the same problem pretty much since the beginning of 2020. Wishing you all the best. A suggestion about the thirds on Mendelssohn Rondo Capriccioso: since the 4th finger is as you mentioned one of our weakest fingers, i strongly recommend 15-23 fingering as it gives more independence to the upper fingers. It works perfectly in both passages of the piece.
I love seeing your Q&A’s!!! When will your albums be released (Your Schumann album and your album with Eric Jacobsen)? I’m so excited for your albums to come out!!🥰❤️
Much gratitude and admiration! You are a beacon in the foggy, storm-tossed seas of RUclips! I'm sorry to hear your German tour was cancelled; however, I live not far from DC and am excited that I might be able to see you in person at the Kennedy Center on the 12th. Best of luck! Or am I supposed to say, "Break a leg"? Fred
Thank you for your honesty. Sorry that you lost money through the shut down. I am not a pianist, but my father was. I enjoy sharing you with my music students. Thanks again for your music.
Hi, Tifanny! Thank you for the advice for the waltz in a minor! It was really helpful in polishing how I play the piece hehe. I really love your channel and I find it very motivating. Have a great day! 💗
Hey Tiffany! I asked about Traümeri, and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for such an insightful answer (and of course beautifully modelled playing!) Super useful! :D
I really like your pronunciation of "Fantasiestücke". You nailed the umlaut. Only the emphasis is slightly different. It's on the i in the middle. Regarding "warum", the "w" is pronounced differently in German, more like the "v" in English. Think of "venom" for example.
Thank you for answering my question. I also mostly prefer lower wrist as I have pretty average hands, albeit on the larger side of average, and I have more control with lower wrists. Most of the interpretations I've seen have been more musical (focuses more on dynamics) with lower wrists and more technical/showy with higher wrists. For me the coda in Op.23 is not as technically and musically challenging as the coda in Op.52 but I think the reputation of it being difficult stems from the fact that it sounds more chaotic and generally louder and less refined like the one in Op.52. Speaking of which Schumann's pieces are also very melodic and hard to play well (musicallity in Schumann's music is something else)(P.S. the äu in Träumerei is pronounced like 'oi')
So sad your concert in Germany has been cancelled - Sometimes, I think politics here masters this pandemic like a blind, demented person who falls into the same pit the fourth time... but I am looking forward to seeing you life in a concert once you are here again! Best regards from Stuttgart!
You are addicted to Schumann and I am addicted to D. Scarlatti. Scarlatti is just pure fun to play. I love Schumann too, and hope to learn some of his pieces when I have the right frame-of-mind. I may resurrect my old favorite Beethoven sonatas first, do a Brahms variation then tackle Schumann. But Baroque is still my favorite for it's pure joy and happiness.
That quote from Wilhelm Meister with 'Der Dichter spricht' is so good, really helpfull actually! Also, on playing 'Träumerei', I think it's usefull to aproach it as a polyphonic piece, to think of the melodies in terms of voices and to try and sing them, that also should help with figuring out tempo and rubato. Really helpful and enjoyable video I think!
I've worked on most of these pieces, but I have never heard that Clara Schumann Scherzo before.. what a piece! :D Thank you Tiffany. Never give up your passions of composers. I personally love Chopin and Beethoven. I aim to learn most of their works but I keep getting distracted by other composers, and now Clara ¬_¬ haha
I love the new series!! I wonder because your reading a lot of German romanticism if you'd ever like to learn German. I'm German and sometimes I'm a bit bewildered by the translatios of the quotes
Sorry to hear about Germany. This tutorial was a wonderful one even though I remember you don’t do these. At least the audience can try out your technique and see if it resonates with them.
Thanks Tiffany for sharing the quote. That is probably why Schumann intentionally destroy any materials related to his compositional process! Leaving secret listeners all the mystery and the charms behind
Tiffany, have you ever played or listened to Janacek?? If not, I think you would be very intrigued by his one-of-kind ingenuity. A Schumann-like inventiveness and uniqueness.
that's an interesting video with some great tips! Thanks! I am glad you didn't use the acronym. A Pity no Schubert (I believe that is where Romanticism really begins - his last 12 months or so)! My piano teacher (5 generations of students down from from Beethoven) says that for fast passages (such as in the Waldstein sonata, you should play staccato and slowly as you practice, with precise fingerings). Don't you think that is great advice?! (I mean about slowly practising fast passages STACCATO). As I attempt the Waldstein I find it is great advice - who knows, maybe Beethoven himself said this piece of advice? Feel free to use this advice for your upcoming DC concert, if it helps! - very best wishes!
The Romantic era is very interesting since for the first time people were able to rise up through society on the basis of merit and talent, not by being servants of some royal court. So, this led to many composers to create music about what they really felt not about imposed topics like religion or whatever the royal court wanted at the moment.
Good video, your comments on the pieces are interesting, though I do not suppose I shall ever be able to even stumble through un sospiro! I am sorry your concert in Germany is cancelled. Perhaps one day you will have a concert in Luxembourg and I shall be able to get to one of your concerts. Of course people will recognise you from time to time, though it will always be rather odd, because they are likely to be recognising your RUclips persona rather than the real life you (who you understandably want to keep to yourself).
excellent vlog - loved it. So, do you think there are any current composers or in the past 50 years that you would consider might be considered classical in the future pianists looking back?
And another question... (is there a quota?? - lol) do you have to work things out with your neighbors about your practicing? Has it been a problem ever? How do you deal with it. In my own complex noise /loud sounds is a big problem.I only feel I can play loud using headphones - but then, my piano has that capability.
Interesting video. As u know about period pianos, so u know why some of Mendelssohn piano music is so ridiculously fast for the modern piano and that despite all the notes would not have drown the strings back then. Though I guess he also wanted to show off his pianism with all those notes?! When & where is this DC concert
Hey Tiffany I wanted to ask you if you are ever going to come to Zürich or Winterthur (or anywhere else in Switzerland)? I would like to see play once in person, but if you cannot come, thats okay too. I might be able to buy a ticket to Germany further into the future and Covid might not longer be an issue by then :)
Busoni said that music is a young art, still learning to walk, in the Sketch of a New Aesthetic for Music (which, incidentally, quotes from Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil)
Speaking of Beyond Good and Evil... From aphorism 245: Schumann with his taste, which was basically a petty taste (that is, a dangerous tendency, doubly dangerous among the Germans, toward quiet lyricism and a drunken intoxication of feeling), always going off to the side, shyly withdrawing himself and pulling back, a nobly tender soul, who wallowed in nothing but anonymous happiness and sorrow, from the start a sort of young maiden and noli me tangere [do not touch me]: this Schumann was already merely a German event in music, no longer something European, as Beethoven was, and, to an even greater extent, Mozart. With him German music was threatened by its greatest danger, the loss of the voice for the soul of Europe and its descent to something dealing merely with the fatherland. Shots fired! : )
On fingerings: I also happen to use rather unorthodox fingerings - for some people, the canonical ones just don't work with the same ease as their personal preference does. Hence, I would say, piano teaching should give us not just one or two "canonical" fingerings, but alternatives too and reasons why and how to use them...
@around 7:10 ish ... What would the fingerings be for playing consecutive legato double 3rds and 6ths? I tried to slow it down but I couldn't really make it out? I also watched a John Browning documentary where he mentions playing these as warm up exercises but he didn't elaborate past that. Any help would be appreciated :D
Yes, playing good piano is a big challenge - both technically and musically. The very best teacher is yourself (guided by the very best pianists ever, Barenboim/Rubinstein/Arrau...).
I am always surprised at the violence of concert organizers towards musicians. this way of canceling at the last moment is revolting. Even given the context of covid. Having said that, I was sure. How sad all these efforts for nothing (well it is never for nothing, this work will have been useful anyway). Guess there is no compensation for lost earnings on those last minute cancellations? All my thoughts dear Tiffany.
Q - is Schumann's number 15 of Davidsbundlertanze possibly the most Romantic piece ever written? Here is Gieseking's version! ruclips.net/video/mZUkcjbZvLI/видео.html
Great video! Regarding your "camera not working" (looks like maybe the autofocus is turned off) have you considered asking someone from, say, Columbia University's film program (which is really famous of course) to be your cinematographer? You have already developed a pretty sophisticated camera style yourself, but why not let someone else provide the equipment and help? I'm sure there are talented students who would do it for free (or rather, for the credit as the cinematographer of such a prestigious and artistically ambitious RUclips channel) 🤓 I say this as a fan who would like to see your life get easier, or at least allow you to focus more on piano and less on technical details. As for the Romantic Era, as someone who studied history in college, I would suggest those who are interested in such things would gain from reading a bit of history of that period. I mean history history, not musical history. It's a fascinating time in human history when the old hierarchies of church and nobility were being overthrown by revolutions. Much as I love Mozart, I think it's fair to say his music speaks to a period when people felt things were in "balance" and everyone "knew their place". By 1800, a new kind of thinking was overtaking the European world, in which the feelings and thoughts of common people were suddenly seen to matter. I think this is clearly reflected in the music of the time.
Bringing in someone else as a cinematographer would, in my view, destroy the intimacy that Tiffany has created in her solo vlogs. The great benefit of this style that Tiffany has engaged in is that one feels a strong sense of the direct connection between herself and the viewer, something that would disappear knowing there was someone else between us.
It's nice to hear how a pianist thinks about the music they're playing!
Don’t stop talking about Schumann! It’s honestly super interesting to see another musician’s addiction/obsession (not sure what the right word is), since I have the same obsession with Mahler, going two years strong haha! It’s fun to see and learn about other composers, especially as in depth as someone with an obsession would go.

Also x2 Der Dichter Spricht is everything to me ❤️
I think passion is the word you're looking for, and I agree
🥺🙏🎶
It's hard to listen to Mahler and not get addicted -- and the same is true with Shostakovich.
For me it’s Bach and Schumann 😁
Hi Tiffany, I'm sorry your German dates got cancelled, but it's not safe here right now. Keep up the good work!

Hey Tiffany! I asked about Traümeri, and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for such an insightful answer (and of course beautifully modelled playing!) Super useful! :D

Shots fired! : )
Yes! There is Liszt's music

Very insightful video! Hopefully you'll share your thoughts for others as well!

Come to the uk ❤️👍🥁🇬🇧
Haha, I'm early! Finally!
Arnold Shoenberg took Romantic to the maximum. He got sick of it and decided to move on. He really was the best. He would tell you that too ; )
I am only playing piano for my own, but I would like to highlight Dvoraks poetic tone pictures (op85), please try
Only humans would ask a question about fighting. Notice how no horse or duck asks such questions.
So true!😉

Hi 👋
Warum, (why), I already feel bad for what schumann could have felt when writing that piece
Have u seen the video of Bird and Hawkins playing Ballade?
Any chance coming to San Francisco?
1:56 what's the name of the piece?
Whar piece is played during ”5 human questions”?
Ure getting prettier and prettier Tiff😍😍😍💙

By 1800, a new kind of thinking was overtaking the European world, in which the feelings and thoughts of common people were suddenly seen to matter. I think this is clearly reflected in the music of the time.
Bringing in someone else as a cinematographer would, in my view, destroy the intimacy that Tiffany has created in her solo vlogs. The great benefit of this style that Tiffany has engaged in is that one feels a strong sense of the direct connection between herself and the viewer, something that would disappear knowing there was someone else between us.
