I've stopped playing the piano for many years now. Just today, I heard from a neighbour that they miss listening to my playing. This piece is the perfect inspiration to get me back to the piano. Thank you for sharing this, music really does spread joy to many around us :)
@@LiamMcGreehan Easy fix - just get a digital piano with weighted keys, and a head-phone for practising. You can play the real thing on traditional acoustic piano later.
I just love the way she touches the piano and interprets the piece, and that’s not only talent, that’s years and years of hard work that brought to us such a wonderful style! Love from Italy ❤️
Currently I'm learning to play this piece, and I really love the speed of your playing. Many of the renditions by other pianists for me is too fast and passionate, on the contrary your playing is so tender and gentle but with love and affection. Imo, that's what exactly Schumann intended to express to his wife. I will take this as my blueprint (literally my goal) of my practice. Thanks Ms Tiffany 😊
You're one of the people who inspires me to play the piano. I'm just starting. It's really difficult I admit but seeing you play just keeps me going. I know it'll take years to become like you but that won't stop me. Thank you for the inspiration 😭❤️❤️❤️
+Arthur Catch - you are probably correct. Most people won't play as well technically as Tiffany. Talent is not about the time you spend at the piano. Its something in your heart. Some people are indeed blessed in this way. However, ultimately it doesn't matter +Fire Lotus because music is not about being the "best". It isn't about attaining perfection - what is perfection anyway? Its great that you find her an inspiration. I do too! And that can be a great, positive thing. When it stops being so is when you compare yourself to others in a negative way, i.e. "I'll never be as good...." and stop enjoying the music you make. Its about enjoying the moment when you're in it. No need to compare. No need for negativity. Keep playing....and keep enojying. I wish you all the best
@@waterfordogs2226 I understand what you mean and didn't take his opinion offensively because I can somehow relate this to painting. I have my own style and so does other people. :) But still thank youuu ♥️♥️♥️
The other day I had some thoughts after I watched this video. At first I thought I cant stand genius's and talented people. Then I realized that I like them and admire them but I cant stand that I am not one. Then I went one step further and I thought. I just need to figure out what it is in this world that I was put here to do. This woman right here definitely found hers. I will keep looking around for mine.
Don't compare yourself to others, compare with your former self and try to improve. Talent/skill/beauty/.. is not evenly distributed. Easier said than done of course, and ego can be a great motivator, but be mindful that comparing with others can easily lead to unnecessary unpleasant feelings.
Beautiful tone, phrasing and voice leading. That's the poetic approach to Schumann ("für den, der heimlich lauschet") which is essential for his music . Excellent performance!
I sang this piece years ago for my grade 8 and it's gorgeous to perform. Her playing sounds like an aria it's just beautiful. Makes me want to singggggg!
Not too fast and not too harsh but this rendition just melts the heart. Love the ebb and flow you've put into this piece as it just glows and loved every second of it!!!
This has long been one of my favorite Schumann lieder, both for music and text. You breathed out its soul through your fingers and heart. Thank you! As always, your phrasing and pianestration is examplary.
I'm actually playing this piece for my level 10 cm testing next year and your playing is so inspiring and beautiful!! your variations, tones, and dynamics speak a story. I hope that once I start learning and practicing dynamics, I could sound as elegant as this
I listened to this piece quite a lot and actually started learning it. But I am still as mesmerised by its beauty and the impressive way its played by Tiffany as I was a year ago 😃
You really have a gift for bringing out the best music from the piano, Tiffany! I really hope you create a CD album again. I'm not a professional music critic, but I've been playing piano for a while and I've heard many many superb performances over the years, so I hope my opinion counts for something...this is really top notch performance!
This is one of the most beautiful performances of this score I’ve ever listened because it is well-controlled, not as much brilliant as others always do. I can hear the original song very well. I will listened to this video so many times that it might be the model for my practicing. (Now I’m practicing this score. )
I'm in something of a low point in my life right now and this music is just right for how I feel. Many thanks for posting; your playing matches the poetry in this music.
Dear Tiffany, I have heard this composition so many times, but your performance is unique. Pure and understood as the heart speaks when it comes to tenderness and passion. And that's what matters. Thank you for this wonderful gift you gave us. Ganz liebe Grüße aus Austria....Paul Manche
Thank you for this amazing piece of art. I really appreciate your personal style and your touch, I know the struggle of searching a good quality and a right touch to create a beautiful and round sound. Well, you are doing an amazing work and I hope that maybe one day I will be satisfied with my playing and with my own interpretation as I am when I listen to your breathless music...but I know that this is a long journey and maybe a lifetime is not even enough. So thank you, for inspire me to always keep striving Tiffany, you are really making a difference in my life even if you don't know it.
Very sensitively done! You did a very good job of conveying the fact that this is actually a transcription of a vocal work. I actually sang this song many years ago. I also have the piano music for the Liszt transcription. Your performance has inspired me to find that transcription and learn it.
Stunning. Your playing shows your complete dedication to the instrument. You understand the pieces and the instrument at such a deep level. I am SO impressed.
I need to get to know this musician. She turned this piece into a dynamic but tender love song. I love the tempo, making it so much more expressive. Bravo Tiffany.
Thank you so much TIffany for doing these little videos. I played for years and then had an accident And injured my right hand and stopped playing ( I got it caught in a table saw) . I was extremely lucky and didn't lose a finger but the damage was significant. That was 2012. Now here in 2019 I have made a commitment at 56 to practice as much as I can and to find a teacher to help me mend both mentally and spiritually. Your videos have really provided a sense of purpose to my playing and though I will never achieve the level of confidence and skill that you so beautifully possess, It's been very warming to see your humbleness to, and love for the instrument, and to see that even a professional concert pianist has trouble with those crazy fingerings and parts. Anyways, wishing you nothing but continued success in all you do . Thanks again :) P.S. Please Come to San Francisco sometime !!!
sweet, tranquil, and tenderness. Lot of pianist interpret it in a way of brilliant emotions. But you leave the emotions to the last few passages. Touching!
Oh, how I adore you and your playing! I can't believe you did this in one take. And how I adore Schumann, ahh! This video is pure gold. Thank you. Can't wait to come to one of your concerts this year again ❤
I didn't know that song until the day you played it during a vlog. And I just fell in love with her. Tiffany you inspire me to be better every day. I am grateful to have known your channel. Thanks.
Amazing keep up the great work, been watching for 4 years your the reason I started piano and the reason my parents got me the Casio px-160 thank you never stop!
Such a beautifully interpreted & played piece....it was very moving. The feeling it conveyed was more akin to a prayer than merely a piece. Simply heavenly! Thanks for adding much enjoyment to my Saturday night. And congratulations on the amazing first take! Also, eagerly looking forward to next time and getting the scoop as to why you were in the B room. A little mystery is always fun!
Absolutely lovely. I always liked the performance of this piece by Martha Argerich. But Tiffany Poon adds something special. Her playing makes it very transparent. And that is very sophisticated and exciting. Magnificent !
Beautiful, Tiffany! I love your tenderness and sensitivity. Many people tend to be too forceful when it comes to the melody in this piece, but I love how you play it so sensitively and tenderly. I mean, this is a love song. It should be tender. Beautiful playing! Thank you for posting this video!
What a beautiful piece! Such a simple melody, yet it holds so much power. It was so lovely I started to cry! Thank you, Tiffany for your wonderful performance.
Tiffany your hands flow so effortlessly across the keys, and I feel so incredibly inspired by your selections. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with your viewer's.
So lovely! Thank you Tiffany, for sharing your joy choosing a new piano and letting us be part of your decision process. You are a gift to all people! So Ím very much looking forward to meeting you in Dresden in May! ❤️🤗💐🥰
I thought that this started out too soft and quiet and had me checking my volume settings. Soon realised that this was your interpretation and have to say that it takes more skill to play it this way. I like it. Led into a nice build up with lots of feels and a strong finale. A wonderful performance.
I've stopped playing the piano for many years now. Just today, I heard from a neighbour that they miss listening to my playing. This piece is the perfect inspiration to get me back to the piano.
Thank you for sharing this, music really does spread joy to many around us :)
My neighbors hate me for playing 😂
Nadine Wong why you stopped?
Liam McGreehan same
@@foxfoster1 it's because I have to play songs over and over to practice them and they get sick of the songs and then get annoyed
@@LiamMcGreehan Easy fix - just get a digital piano with weighted keys, and a head-phone for practising. You can play the real thing on traditional acoustic piano later.
it's 6:30 am and i just got up to check my bread dough. home smells good and i'm listening to this. day started perfect.
Who asked lol
@@nttie5092 well, nobody. but seems like i had better day than you, my angry and petty friend.
@@sarapiazza7529 im like 500 years late but loved this reply lol. hope you wake up to many more mornings like that :)
@@nttie5092Isn’t that the whole reason we do this though? To make people’s days brighter?
I just love the way she touches the piano and interprets the piece, and that’s not only talent, that’s years and years of hard work that brought to us such a wonderful style!

Yes.

Have you learnt it yet?
@@sebastianciarfella3061 I literally forget I commented 😂 anyway yes I did learn it but now I focus on other pieces
Maybe return to this one day
Have you returned yet
Absolutely lovely. That piano is made for your elegant playing.
Absolutely yes, Cindy, I agree. Fits her perfectly.
Which is why she bought it!
(Well technically, it's a loan but whatever)
You're one of the people who inspires me to play the piano. I'm just starting. It's really difficult I admit but seeing you play just keeps me going. I know it'll take years to become like you but that won't stop me. Thank you for the inspiration 😭❤️❤️❤️
Spoiler: you won't be ever as good as Tiffany. Believe me, there is a big difference between playing the piano well and the way Tiffany is playing
Arthur Catch that negative comment is not needed.
Back in your box.
Arthur Catch Every artist is different and entitled to his/her own way to interpret the music. Maybe be a little bit more encouraging? ;)

One of my favourite pieces played by one of my favourite pianists..sending love from Italy
The best interpretation of this piece.
*and I almost cried*
... Thanks, Ms. Tiffany.

Very deep thinking. Keep searching!
Beautiful tone, phrasing and voice leading. That's the poetic approach to Schumann ("für den, der heimlich lauschet") which is essential for his music . Excellent performance!
Exquisite, sensitive rendition with wonderful little "surprises" in voicing I haven't heard before. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful Tiffany! This was my vote for your encore at the Gilmore recital. Love your tempo and your singing tone!
Mine too!! We're finally getting our chosen Gilmore recital encore!! Well played, and worth the wait!!
Wow. This Widmung is a real song to a soul in your hands. No singer i have ever listened can do that.
Played like the love song that this is. Absolutely beautiful.
This piece "Widmung" makes me tear up. Beautiful. Thank you Schumann. And a HUGE thank you to you too Tiffany. Beautifully played.
A most beautiful, mellow and balanced tone....the melody in the tenor register sings like a cello....against rippling arpeggios in the treble
I sang this piece years ago for my grade 8 and it's gorgeous to perform. Her playing sounds like an aria it's just beautiful. Makes me want to singggggg!
Never heard it played that slowly. Good on you for doing it "your" way!
Not too fast and not too harsh but this rendition just melts the heart. Love the ebb and flow you've put into this piece as it just glows and loved every second of it!!!
superb playing here. there's something incredibly expressive that you captured in the first half of the piece (before it goes full liszt).
I really like this piece and it’s the most beautiful playing I’ve ever heard. I felt lots of love from her playing.
Incredibly touching performance. I watched this three times in a row. I’ll watch it again from now.
This has long been one of my favorite Schumann lieder, both for music and text. You breathed out its soul through your fingers and heart. Thank you! As always, your phrasing and pianestration is examplary.
Pure joy listening to you.. 😍
Halfway listening to the piece, well, I closed my eyes and teared up.
The dance of your hands on the piano produces music of great beauty.
Tiffany enchants us again with her performance 😍
Easily the best interpretation of this piece! Bravo, Tiffany! You inspire us all! 🤗
This touches my heart. I cry while listening to it
Can’t stop playing it - simply lost for words!
Just beautiful. You add joy and warmth to the world with your playing. Thank you.
I'm actually playing this piece for my level 10 cm testing next year and your playing is so inspiring and beautiful!! your variations, tones, and dynamics speak a story. I hope that once I start learning and practicing dynamics, I could sound as elegant as this
Was it difficult? I’m level 8 but I still want to play it :)
Great playing, the dynamic control was superb.
I listened to this piece quite a lot and actually started learning it. But I am still as mesmerised by its beauty and the impressive way its played by Tiffany as I was a year ago 😃

I love the tonality of that Steinway. It's so sublime.
I wish i could hear this performance on spotify. Superb playing.
I'm in something of a low point in my life right now and this music is just right for how I feel. Many thanks for posting; your playing matches the poetry in this music.
i dont know but watching you pressing those keys and seeing you feeling the music also makes me feel the music.
この曲は最も好きな曲のひとつなので聞けてよかったです！すばらしい演奏でした！
My eyes well up with tears when I watch and hear you play Widmung.
Wow... wow... played with such feeling, sensitivity and empathy! It touched me...

Tiffany... Your touch is so full of emotions. The melody came out so well! Your playing is very inspiring for me as an aspiring pianist.
Very universal music and play. Gentle and piano-friendly way. No abnormalities. No concern to listen. I love that.
Truly excellent! Beautiful mellow sound on this one.
Absolutely sublime. Thank you.
Top class, really beautiful. Phrasing, speed and dynamics all so good. The clarity of the arpeggios at 2:40 surpasses any other version I've heard.
This is the best piece what I have heard so far.
Love from Finland!! 💕💕
sweet, tranquil, and tenderness. Lot of pianist interpret it in a way of brilliant emotions. But you leave the emotions to the last few passages. Touching!
Beautifully played beyond words.
Everything about this piece is beautiful. It was written beautifully and played it beautifully. 💞🎼🎶🎵
AMAZING, SUCH SUBLIME TOUCH!
Wow! So amazing! Thank you! I could listen to this a hundred times. Again, you remind me why I love music so much!

I usually find Steinways to be unpleasantly bright, but NOT this one. Your playing is epically beautiful & full of passion.
Piano heaven and tiffany heaven in one, what does one need more😜🤗
God, what a beautiful piece and performance!! Liszt reborn!!
Beautiful,sensitive and lyrical playing Tiffany!Thanks very much for posting!

Tiffany, I always visit this video ❤ my teacher also loves this video of you. Thank you for your love of playing really beautiful pieces.
Such a tender melody. This is the best version I have found on RUclips.
Gorgeous playing Tiffany!!
I wasn't familiar with this piece, but now it's easily one of my favourites!
Amazing keep up the great work, been watching for 4 years your the reason I started piano and the reason my parents got me the Casio px-160 thank you never stop!
Das war eines der schönsten Klavierstücke, die ich je gehört habe.
Kennst du die drei Klavier Stücken von Franz Schubert? Hör's mal
Translation for the non-german speakers: “That was one the most beautiful piano pieces, that i’ve ever heard.”
