  • What makes Robert Schumann so special? Tiffany Poon has thought a lot about that question. The 26-year old New York pianist has spent years studying the great German Romantic composer and in her opinion: he’s extraordinary. Robert Schumann (1810-1856) wasn’t only a great composer, pianist and conductor - he was also a writer, publisher and musical visionary. We met Tiffany Poon at her concert at the Dresden Music Festival 2023, where she performed works by Robert Schumann at the Grand Garden Palace, including Kinderszenen Op. 15, Davidsbündlertänze Op. 6 and Piano Sonata No. 2 in G minor, Op. 22.
    In this video we accompany Tiffany Poon as she rehearses and show excerpts from the highly-acclaimed concert. But despite her star status, she still has her feet on the ground. She’s an approachable artist who’s always looking to connect with people. The evening before the concert she organized a pop-up event in a café in Dresden. And after the concert she chatted to her fans offstage, as always. Tiffany Poon talks about her relationship with Robert Schumann, his life and works. We also find out more about the young pianist, who - just like Robert Schumann - does a lot besides music. Tiffany Poon is also a philosopher, vlogger and founder of the non-profit organization “Together with Classical”. Her mission, above all, is to demystify classical music and inspire a wider audience. Tiffany Poon has just recorded an album with works by Robert Schumann: "Diaries: Schumann" will be available from 9 February 2024.

    Tiffany Poon was born in Hong Kong in 1996. She started piano lessons when she was four. At age nine she moved to New York, where she attended the Juilliard School Pre-College program. Tiffany Poon made her concert debut at age 10. She graduated from high school in 2014 and continued her piano studies as part of the exchange program between Columbia University and The Juilliard School. She also studied philosophy and in 2018 graduated from Columbia with a Bachelor of Arts. Today she performs around the world, sometimes with an orchestra, sometimes solo. In 2017 she started a new project with the help of CZcams - to present her more human side, as well as her classical music. She has a great social media presence, with 320,000 followers on CZcams alone. And she also engages with the community. Tiffany Poon’s non-profit charity “Together with Classical” supports musicians in their training and brings together classical music lovers from all over the world.

      That is why classical music doesn't disappear. All of the timeless classics have been played thousands of times by the most brilliant musicians of every generation and yet a few very talented artists always seem to find a way to breathe new life into them. So the magic doesn't get lost. We have no recordings of Brahms, Beethoven, Mozart nor any of the other great masters themselves do we don't really know what they sounded like. So it may be the fear that we will never know that attracts new artists from every generation in a pursuit to really understand them that keeps them alive?

      No, it looks that way but not at all. She is very versed in social media compared to 98% of other pianists, she has been an active youtuber from the early days of youtube . She is among that younger elite of pianists who have grown with a youtube audience sharing thousands of their inner feelings on cameras weekly for years. She is naturally nervous by default, it is tied to her personality of being tremendously demanding to herself. She understands that solo pianist career in this age is more than just being a private person appearing on a stage. Like many Asians she is extremely ambitious and i think she thinks she has not met her self imposed goals. But her musical education is the most golden path possible, She is a 100% Julliard product from child and has won some international competitions. I think she is a bit upset with herself that she has not risen to a more prominent established person in music. Pianist is about one of the most competitive career out there and out of 10,000 pianist 9,900 will not live from performing only and maybe only a handful will be somewhat recognized worldwide. The struggling artist life is what she is experiencing despite being at such a very high level. By trying to make classical music more mainstream she hopes to open more opportunity of success for her pianist career. The next best thing for a pianist who struggles to live from performing only is to become a professor in a top academic university.
      A few famous pianists juggle both lives. My guess is that she might eventually enter the academic profession but even that is extremely competitive because there are sooooo many super talented pianists everywhere applying for everything and more pouring up every year.

      Putting your opinion and relationship with a composer as a person out there to the general and highly critical public in the music world is scary, at least that's what I would feel like. I can't speak for Tiffany Poon directly but I can fully imagine it'll be something that takes courage.
      I've heard from many performers that nervousness is always there and there's always apprehension about opinions and critique afterwards. Goes with the territory, no matter how long you've done it.
      I do agree with you Tiffany seems to be a professional dealing with tension and exposure like that, she handles herself very well in that regard, even though there must be days that are quite hard to deal with 'the internet' at times.

      @@imqqmi Ok, you misunderstood my first reply. She is not feigning any nervousness she is nervous ! and i agree that it is unavoidable and comes with the profession. That is not the point. No, what i replied to you for is that based on having known her youtube antics for a good part of a year, opening up herself and spilling her inner thoughts regularly to a large audience hundred of times for years, she is used to do that, she even likes it. it did not require her to be especially "brave" (she is by default), and that she certainly does not felt "exposed" as you wrote. Actually most pianist are extroverts and don't mind sharing what music evokes to them deeply or what connection they feel with the composer. No her nervousness in her case comes purely from her highly self critical nature regarding her performances. She always appears nervous in her thought process and is known for wide mood swings it's not anything to do with this interview. She has extremely hefty goals and her concern is quite the contrary of what you think, she'd want to be more exposed, more covered and followed like a star. She is nervous about not being enough on that path.

    Tiffany serves the music with her heart. I once listen to her practicing, while I could not hear any difference, she criticised her execution "this note too strong, that note a bit out of sync...

      I'd be willing to bet this is what she meant, at the end, when she was reflecting on her performance: She said "Too many wrong notes (19:35)". To me; and, I think, to many, this would mean too many ACTUAL wrong notes (e.g. hitting a B instead of a C). but, for her, I think it means, as you say, a note being too strong (or weak), or being out of sync, etc. Like you say, her performance sounds polished (actually to perfection), and it carries to my heart also. Like she always says: we must continually 'strive'.

Sei es mit Titel, länge, Kommentare, Die Fangemeinde, Sofort poppt dies bei mir auf. Es ist immer wieder eine Freude Sie auf Ihrem Weg zu verfolgen. Da macht das künstlerische wandern Freude. Und auch wenn es mal kurz bergab geht, man steht wieder auf. Grüsse Aus Andermatt. P.S.

    Thank you DW classical music for bringing this video of Tiffany Poon. I fell in love with classical music as a 9 year old boy. You see my 4th grade class took in a performance of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra’s rendition of Tchaikovsky’s Peter and the Wolf. Thus began a nearly 63 year long love affair. I enjoy classical piano and in another life would be a classical pianist. Ahh. unrequited dreams. I do love Tiffany and hope I can see her in concert one day before I depart this earthly realm. I close sending you my sincere thanks and wish you all the best. God bless you. ✝️🙏🏻❤️🎼🎹❤️☺️ Oh. PS new subscriber.

    I'm just now discovering Tiffany Poon and am in awe. Her conviction of performance and an obviously deep understanding and loyalty to Robert Schumann are astounding. Tiffany does seemingly possess a direct communication with the spirit and intent of Schumann. I am not a spiritual person but I believe Schumann pursued a spiritual avenue to reach sublimity in music. He succeeded, and so has Tiffany. I believe Schumann would love her fantastic interpretation of his art.

    Wow. I am amazed by this interview. So much sincerity and simplicity in one person. It is such a great idea your way of sharing the music, passion, energy, philosophy and the point of musician's view to the audience and other people in a bit funny and relaxed way. I find myself as a versatile not just a musician, rather complete artist. The whole life I spent as a classical pianist, but somehow my soul tended to be unique but did not know for a long time how to do it. Luckely, thanks to some circumstances, a lots of self struggles, luck, God and a lot of different people I made it. I also teach pupils, play solo and with solo singer, also compose my own music for the piano and chamber music which I really like to play, learning foreign languages (speak 5 languages, soon 6th), learning solo singing, improvise and arrange the music... Thanks a lot for sharing your story. 😊🍀🍁🎉

    DW Classical Music 🎼. I heartily agree with Tiffany’s passion to expose more people and I would add a broader range as well. It saddened me the other day when I saw someone refer to classical music as a place for the wealthy only. I wondered how many others have felt this. The beauty and wonder of classical music is to be shared, enjoyed, loved and appreciated by anyone who is interested. I think it behooves those of us who know and love it to share it. Well. Just some thoughts here. All my best to you at DW with God’s blessings. ✝️🙏🏻❤️🎼🎹❤️☺️

    Schumann is perfect for Tiffany. She is prone to huge mood swings and relates well to Schumann's fantasy characters.

    • @neovxr
      @neovxr Před 7 měsíci +6

      She explained it well. Schumann had his fateful issues but still he found his methods to have hope and be creative. Thus, his "net value" is huge and positive.
      Many people including herself are learning from him.

    • @ericastier1646
      @ericastier1646 Před 7 měsíci +4

      Very correct i followed her around 2014 , and it is what i remember. She has tragedy and pathos built into her personality but she draws a tremendous amount of energy from it, and it does not affect her abilities at all. I can see how she feels a sympathy for Schumann. I remember how she talked so uncertainly about herself when she flew into a piano competition but won first prize no problem which stunned me. That is certainly humility but yes she is very hard on herself. The world is a harsh place.
