Why do you embarrass yourself with such a ratty, sketchy display of lightweight ineptitude when you have a world-class set of fingers and a prodigious memory? What is the POINT of making a holy show of an obviously UNFINISHED Productr? The only really good thing about this display is your scale passages which are absolutely marvelous, but the rest sounds like sight reading -- very GOOD sign reading --, but sight reading neverthemes. I don't find compulsive exhibitii]nism either unteresting or endearing. You have a great talent, but please stop trumpeting your weak points in an endless seris of informal videos when all WE want to hear is your finished products many of which are absolutely FIRST RATE. I see no legitimate point in showing yourself at a DISADVANAGE every chance you get -- or so it seems. You are probably damagi[ng your career.
Franco Aragosta Hey, Franco, don’t hold back for the sake of politeness. Tell us how you really feel! “All WE want to hear is your finished products...”. Who is the “WE”? The thousands of people who follow her progress? It takes a pompous ass to assume that what you want is what everyone else wants. Becoming a world-class musician is a process. Publishing her practice sessions - warts and all - takes guts and a whole lot of honesty and humility. To be able to see how she achieves the “finished product” is both interesting and instructive. And by the way, there are at least five errors of spelling and typing in your post. Why do you post without proofreading and correcting? “Sign reading”? “Productr”? “Disadvanage”? We want to see only the final product! Tsk Tsk!
I appreciate your passionate comment - I'm sure many in the traditional classical music field share your views. I am humanizing my career - the expectation that only "finished products" should be public in classical music is unrealistic and thus dehumanizing. Whether I am damaging my career... time will tell, but in the meantime, I'm very grateful for every single one who has been supporting my process. If you want to hear finished products, here's a playlist of recordings: ruclips.net/video/-3GSgVD5T4s/видео.html
@@TiffanyPoonpianist Good points. And I appreciate your authenticity, warts and all.
I like the vlogs. . . They are very interesting to me. I don’t play piano and don’t listen to it so it is fun to see how an amazing player works to achieve the finished product.
An embarrassment would not have 73k+ Subscribers and 500+ in 2 hours. You have the choice to only look into her finished product. But 98% ADORE her daily content.
Tiffany if you listen to Grinchy people your career would def be over.
These kind of videos (study sessions, sight reading, studying tips, dailys...) are what classical music needs in order to make it more real. I'm also a classical pianist and I find very useful and interesting seeing how top pianists (as you) prepare their recitals. For my students you're also a great icon because you're getting closer to their language. Thank you so much for this Tiffany!
Jaume Muñoz I believe that she is allowing classical to continue to live.
Yeah! Unfortunately, the guy who has his comment pinned (at the top) seems to not understand this.
@@lifeontheledgerlines8394 Yeah, and he's kinda been read the Riot Act in the replies...
Fred
I honestly like these uncut practice recordings a lot~ especially Chopin and the way she cringes HAHA
This is not how I sound if I have not touched a piece for 6 years lol
That's really great sightreading!
You are little bad.
@@camilloflaim5738 that's not true, Tiffany is just way above average!
This is memory not sight reading
Constantine Vorobyov it’s a bit of both
@@donnyl0907 heavily memory assisted reading aka knowledge/skill
As a pianist myself i find it very heartening to see that a professional also plays wrong notes like i do when learning a piece... see you in sg!
Polo-nice 😎
Good one, ludwig
Szia
Hahaha
😂😂WTF hahahaha😅
I love how musical prodigies are replying to each other and Harry Potter is there like "heh, Good one, musician named after my owl"
I appreciate that this young lady makes mistakes during practice, that's what practice is. She's a wonderful pianist and this vlog shows her vulnerabilities and weaknesses. It's very honest showing what an excellent pianist, albeit not always perfect, goes through. Thank you Tiffany!
What almost killed classical music is the untouchables. Everything has to be perfect. Perfection does not come easily. I once saw you practicing a serious of chords and you said this has highlighted this note, or no that note is missing. Then I realized that the amount of work and dedication you put into just a few chords is so touching that I subscribed and followed you ever since. Great blog which bring more human touch to the untouchable.
2:32 10/10 page turn
She's adorable even when she fails in that ( 8:14 ) =)
I think you'd have that down in less than 2 hours!! I've been working on those parallel fourths in the introduction for the last 2 months and after seeing you play it I'm convinced my ancestry evolved from the sloth!..lol..you are the greatest Tiffany!
Hahaha nooo everyone works at different pace 😅
LingLing can sight read it perfectly in performance tempo
Thinking Questioning I could sight read this piece without the music before I was even born. Can Lang Lang do that? I don’t think so
catch up scrub
@@gidster192 can you walk on water?
John Cotta hell ya I can
Not only that, but I conceived myself with my mom before I existed
Lang Lang can’t do that either can he?
I love how you show unfinished work. It really shows a window into the musician's life. After all, a lot of it is spent in a practice room, not on a stage.
As a random subscriber (who happens to love Chopin), I really enjoyed this.
Despite not being a perfect run, I think this was a bigger show of talent than playing it properly post rehearsal lol. Good lord, how the heck do you sight read that piece?
Still, acknowledging that impressing us wasn’t entirely the point, I’m really looking forward to your video pointing out the tricky parts of the piece. I think you just have to remember that very many of us will never have the privilege of playing such a difficult piece, and so these insights are impossible to come by any other way.
Thanks for sharing Tiffany!
I played this a lot 10 years ago. I memorized the first two page (almost) in my yellow Schirmer book. When I play those octaves my arms start to hurt. I just taught myself this tune. I didn't have a teacher, just played what I saw on the printed page and listened to some lp record I had. This was before youtube. I saw Vladimir Horowitz on t.v. play this in 1986. I also saw Arthur Rubenstein play this on t.v.
Sounded great for a practice session. I like use of an iPad for your sheet music. You change pages very quickly. And I still like the sound of that “90 year old” piano. I think after you practice on it for a week it will sound even better.
Yeah, iPads are great (or tablets, or the like). You can also get pedals for them to change pages without having to turn with your hands at all, which is very useful for gigs.
With an Air-Turn.
Tiffany, you need an Airturn!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIFFANY!!!
Art is as much the process as it is the final product. Especially with a craft like piano that demands hours, days and years in isolation doing just as you do in this video. I love the opportunity to see these raw, unedited videos that show your journey. I support you Tiffany and ignore that ridiculous, immature troll below.
Considering you've not touched this piece in some 6 years, you play it so well! No doubt you're extraordinarily talented, keep it up and good luck relearning it to be recital ready!
I love the Polonaise, especially with spaghetti.
Good one!
omg i ate that with polonaise today that's why i come here
polognaise :-)
@@TheMusicalKnokcers bolognese ;-)
Fred
ffggddss r/whoosh
I saw your story on Instagram and I knew it was heroic polonaise!!!
oh my gosh when i saw the title i got SOO EXCITED THANK U
Me too lol
Well that was wonderful. Life of a pianist as it really is, unvarnished and much hard work behind the scenes. The combination of that period piano with it's seasoned tone and sound, combined with the beautiful panelled room, the acoustics and quality of the recording plus video, what an inspiring place for you to practice and perfect this work. Thank you Tiffany I really enjoyed all of it. Oh those lucky people who will be at your concert in Singapore, I think it may be as magical as the Haydn you played for us recently. !
I fell in love with this piece this year. One of the best songs the year has given me.
Love your channel btw!
Love your vlogs, it shows the key of piano : work, work, work and work again until perfection.
It's nice to see the life moments, feeling, doubts and work of a very very good pianist.
I'm 14 and I have been playing the piano since I was 6 and I am still virtually a beginner. :( Tiffany is such an inspiration for me to get better as I am starting to get more and more serious about piano. Thank you Tiffany!!
Its really nice to hear you play imperfect work and see your progression. I also find it a very good motivation for myself since you make far goals seem reachable.
I think this piece sounded amazing, I could really tell that the piece is still in your mind! It’s been there especially after 6 years. I’ve played piano for a year and I’ve pretty much already advanced. I loved to see that you remembered most measures of the piece. Watching people practice and remember old pieces that they’ve played (maybe over a month or so) really fascinates me a lot. Keep doing what you do, I love your creative content!
Love how she goes "aw that was really bad" when it's better than I'd ever do in a real performance😂
You are brave putting this on video for us all to watch ! It is so good to see how you can pick up a piece from 6 years ago and play it so well. But also good to see that you do make mistakes and it needs work. Thank you so much for posting this. I have been learning piano for some years and have so far to go !!!
That was so wonderful, Tiffany! Thank you for the generosity of sharing this first dip into re-learning a piece! What a unique thing to watch. I didn't see a single embarrassing thing! I'm amazed that it's possible to play quite so smoothly and expressively a piece which you were basically sight-reading. I roughly know how the piece goes -- as far as it's possible for a total non-musician -- and it was real treat to see it slightly deconstructed through an occasional slow-down or a slip-up in the course of practice. It gives one a chance to see better how it's constructed. Awesome video!
Her playing is just as beautiful as her
I really like this piece! It’s expected to not be to great in the beginning especially after many years, but as you noticed yourself, you improved and picked up on the piece and I could tell you were getting comfortable with it again by the end! Love your hard work Tiffany ! Keep it going! ❤️
Fascinating to hear how you approach this piece. Really wish I could play like that straight out of the box. Genius!
It's always so fascinating to watch someone who's cultivated talent practice something. There's a lot to learn here and it's wonderful that you're willing to show it, that's rare, but I hope it becomes more common in this world of vlogging.
Very plausible display of sweetness of Tiffany as always!
Thank you very much for these videos! They are entertaining, informative, motivating, and inspiring in many ways.
I thoroughly enjoy every thing that Tiffany Poon has to say . Love all of your music !
In the end it's really all hard work and effort we are seeing....bravo!
I absolutely agree. It's a great motivation to see, that a also a professional pianist is not able to play every piece of music immediately in a perfect way.
First I Get To Listen My Favourite Piece.
And That Too From My Favourite Pianist.
It Must Be My Birthday 😂😂😂
Oh Wait...
It Really Is My Birthday Today 😅😅😅
Happy Birthday 🎂🎉😊
happy birthday!!

@@lifeontheledgerlines8394 I just read this at the piano and just played the notes. Good one hahaha
ayeee Mee toooo
YAS Tiffany! I am always inspired and enlivened by your videos ❤️😆
Your trills are amazing I love them so much♥️♥️
How good to see you´re back!
it was wonderful not embarrassing at all , it gave me motivation to do what I do in the best way I can , Keep it up !
A clear and pure, fearless mind absorbs more, Best wishes! Waiting for your Chopin Piano concertos albums someday!
The range of your repertoire and the quality after taking it up after 6 years is amazing and inspiring :)
I loved this piece and practiced a lot until i felt pretty satisfied.. So i found this video so interesting because i could see world class pianists like you are still humans! Thanks for uploading
Dear tiffany, thank you so much for the secret life behind the scenes of all professional pianists. It's a big inspiration and motivation for me to see that a professional pianist can't immediately play every piece of music in a perfect way. Obviously you need time, hard work and motivation. Love you, greeting from Germany 😘
So grateful for your yet another very transparent and unfiltered video clips!! So amazing and brave pianist! Thank you, Tiffany! This adult beginner piano player is going to practice with smiles on tonight :)
I like really very much your vlogs with an insight in your daily life with practicing, walking, eating, studying and so on, your journey as you call it. I find it wonderful. It makes all the music more and more emotional. Thanks again, Tiffany.
Thoroughly enjoyed the insight into what it takes to become a master of masterpieces....
I'm really hoping that you will post more videos with your practice. It's very supportive and important! Thank you so much! ❤️
I enjoy when pros are willing to show the learning process. Thank you.
one of my favorite pieces! thank you for sharing your practice session on this one.
I really enjoy seeing you praticing and getting better at each minute on the play as I enjoy your humilty, please keep posting this pratices, I just meet your videos yesterdar and you already are a inspiration for me start to play piano
It is my most favorite Polonaise! It’s been a while since I’ve listened to this. Great pic of you and Van Cliburn! Wow, that’s awesome playing for not seeing it for 6 years. Your Singapore performance is coming up soon, around the corner it seems. Lucky people who live there or are able to fly there to attend. Bravo, just finished watching this vlog! Really enjoyed this, and thank you! Yes, would love to see Carnegie!
Can you please please PLEASE(!!!!) make more videos like this and continue to make them throughout your career? I’m starting to learn this piece and seeing that an amazing professional pianist was once at the stage I am now is extremely encouraging. ❤️ you Tiffany!!
I've always been drawn to this piece. Chopin wrote with such love and passion. This is a very modern example of songwriting during the Romantic Era. I can't play piano very well but I often sit with the sheet music and try to work out fragments. I'm 51, just a hobby 🙂
Wonderful performance. My whole family enjoyed this !
I am very exciting to watch you perform this piece !
and have a Great and Prosperous New Year to You, Tiffany !
From The Philippines.
How do you read music that fast?!!!! That’s literally amazing
She know the piece for a long time
Chris & Kami Well, she memorizes music sheets which is even harder.
@@Critique808 sorry cant relate, I'm a better memorizer than sightreader
@@charlesfernandez201 You start by playing slow. Once your good at slow then speed up to medium speed. When your good at medium, play at regular speed. After you're good at regular then start memorizing.
Critique808
Can’t relate as well memorizing comes relatively easy to me. Now trying to learn a new page in a piece, that’s hard.
Dont listen to that old queen, we love your freshness and relatability!💚
Hi, Tiffany. I enjoyed a lot this informal video and not only that kind of game you seem to play exposing your "mistakes", because behind these sketches of some works of the highest piano repertoire one can perceive the strong and pure love you have for music. Keep doing your best your way!
i definitively like Chopin, loved the sound and the energy
I looooove it... This is something that I really want to watch on RUclips.. Keep it up girl... Muy bueno 🙌
All I can say is, Go , Tiff, go go goooo 🚀💐.....lucky us that you share your sound world and Artistry
Bravo, TP.
Keep going, you are so focused and your fans all love it.
BTW that emoji :O in the thumbnail is my fav too lol!
#PianoQueen
I love to have person glimpses of you to go along with your performances.
It was really great !! And now you must put everything together and it will be awesome.
You’re so great!! I love your work:)
Thank you for sharing this Tiffany!
It's not embarrassing (as you say) at all - it's amazing how well you still know the piece after such a long time and how fast you improved during playing!
I'm a mostly self-taught beginner, and I've been dying to see what the learning process of a piece for a pianist of your level actually looks like for a while. It's especially cool to see how you relearn one of my favorite Chopin pieces, and do it so quickly. Thank you for sharing this super enlightening and inspiring experience with us!
I think most of us do like a glimpse behind the Scenes, especially with the very talented like you . I have always been enjoying rehearsals very much , and being a musician myself , I think that it is the journey that matters , at least as well as the finished piece … Finished piece ? Is anything in Music ever really finished ? Let me quote a wise old conductor who said : the road to perfection is a road without an end , for the end would be mediocrity ( end of Quote ). I enjoyed this Video , and , having read through this Polonaise a couple of times myself , I loved to see how your Hand Memory was there in most spots , after that Long time . I wish you a lively and productive practicing of all the Singapore program , Keep me and the others who will not be able to be there , posted ! :)
That's a beautiful quote. Who said it?
Well , we had a book in my parents ` house ( unfortunately I do not remember its title ) back in the sixties, with photos of musicians on the left page and opposite , on the right one , their handwriting , sometimes only a signature , but often a Quote . This one - in german ! - is from Eugene Ormandy .
@@dimitridemetriades2637 Thanks!
So cool!!! Go tiff!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love that Tiffany is such a confident, well adjusted woman that she can show her true self. Too many times prodigies, virtuosos, musicians believe they always have to be seen in a state of perfection. And that is just living in a fantasy world that leads to anxiety and unhappiness. Be imperfect, be real and enjoy the process and share it with others. That's happiness.
I barely comment but I want to say that this was a really nice vlog, keep doing it, love your stuff :)
2:32 that was so cool 👌 Your whole practice was amazing. That was not embarrassing at all!
best piece of all times!!!!!!
I really liked this, Tiffany. Got more of a charge out of watching this than anything so far I think, maybe... something about it really appealed to me... I'm working my way haphazardly (as youtube presents them) through your vlogs and I'm really enjoying it.... thank you for them. absolutely the greatest thing.. . :)
I love this polonaise! Don’t beat yourself up, you’ll get better. As my undergrad piano teacher would always tell me because he knew how nervous I would get about playing tests and when I did my senior recital with him as my main pianist “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine” I’m so happy with how far you have come within the last two months alone.😃❤️🎼
Ui first, I didn't know that pice. But after listening, I remember that and I love it. Lucky people in Singapore. :-)
Love this vlog!
I love you! What a great song!
Cheer up! Have a successful recital there at Singapore!
Really enjoy your video so much!
Wonderful Tiffany..I am a musician..for almost 40 years and I believe you show great courage but most of all are inspiring young musicians all over posting your progress on all your endeavors...it really shows a human being struggle to become the best that she can be and this is a life long commitment...(I'm talking about posting your progress)..that will always be a source of inspiration and change the path of many people's lives.
You're so inspiring!
I’m learning this piece and I’m not that good of a piano player but I’m working really hard. I’ve hit a rough patch but watching this really helps. You’re such a good piano player and I really look up to you
My fav Chopin piece!
I'm very enjoying~
and subscribed.
Keep going!!
You have a technique that will make a lot of people jealous... its a given, almost taken for granted that you will pull off those runs, pull off those octaves and double notes and pull off those chopin etudes while many of us (me included) can only watch, admire but know in the inside that no matter how hard we practice we cannot do it... this chopin polonaise sooner or later will be a piece of cake for people like you
Hi Tiffany, I loved this vlog. Now I will go and strive in what I must do... that is to go practice my clarinet...!
thank you for showing your process - also for re-introducing the A-flat Polonaise to me, which I don't think I've played in over six years as well!
i love this oneee
actually one of my favourite, almost as beautiful as you
so I'm not the only one who stops when unsure of the notes! great video. it's always interesting to see what parts of pieces give trouble to some people and not others. cool video
keep inspiring, keep making vlogs,love it all 😻😍😘
i see this 2 weeks after it’s published on my birthday. Amazing. It may not be finish but I aspire to be as good as a pianist as you Tiffany. Chopin And Liszt are my 2 favorites and I want to play both of their highest level pieces in a few years from now and the heroic polonaise is one of those pieces accompanying Etude Op 10 No 4 And Waltz Op 64 No 2 and Ballade Op 23 No 1 in g minor and Among The Reminisces Of Don Juan And Mephisto Waltz No 1 And Transcendental Etudes 4,5,6 and 8 and Un Sospiro And The obvious Hungarian rhapsody No 2. Seeing you practice at such a high level has me in shock and I don’t think I could even touch your style of flare and your dynamics are so on point. Your Amazing Tiffany Keep up the great work.
Amazing ,fascinating.what a great pianist you are.To be able to do that,just sight read that for us.Thank you I real enjoyed watching you play.
Tiffany we already know what you are capable of doing, believe me, WE KNOW😏Ravel was just incredible, your Lizts are amazing “this is why” you get so many views on your practice sessions. Why? Because we want to see your sorcery on display. I’d say 98% of us LOVE seeing you start a piece & go through it.
You can agree 98% love these video based on your views. This is logical statistics, the rest 2% can just dive into your “finished products”.😏
I’ve also just begun to re-learn this piece which I really love! I plan to play it for a piano club meeting that I’m hosting at my home in March. It’s very rusty; have a lot of work to do. I’ll follow your progress with great interest!
To be perfectly honest I can't even bloody comprehend sight reading that... Just kinda reminds me I should be working on that. Thanks for doing so!
