Ms. Wang once said to have virtuosic techniques means to be able to play exactly how you like it to sound in your mind. But you got to have something in your mind first.
Hmmm...so perfect technique for you?
Artur Schnabel meant something similar when he told his students: "Play nothing before you hear it."
I am constantly impressed with Yujas playing and intriguing thoughts and approaches to her music...i listen with awe and envy of her amazing playing.
Similarly with Jazz or music that requires improvisation, You have to have something to say. You've heard and played enough music that you wanted to sound just like that or someone or some music makes so much sense it sounds like you would have come up with it yourself eventually. And now you have the facility. Now you have something to say.

Yuja is just a wonderful human being with an enormous talent
The young man must be on cloud nine being taught by the best in the world I just love Her 💝
For her musical skills we all do.
You're absolutely right. But they didn't mic her voice. Oh good, they finally got her level voice correctly.
When Yuja sat down and play, sounds like different piano. So powerful, because she is so rich in soul !!!
Her sound is more bright because she throws all her armweight on the top notes through fingers of steel.
Yuja plays with so much more depths and colors! What a soul!
a lot more power, because she has whole body athlete technique and supreme muscle memory.
Getting to see Yuja teach is a dream come true! Thank you so much to everyone involved with sharing this resource with the CZcams community. It is greatly appreciated.

She actually went to Canada from China before heading to the US
You actually have better opportunity to be on the stage in Canada than in the US, due to less comeptition, I mean if you really take piano as your major and plan for the music school, think about Canada, just for your info. czcams.com/video/lXbeTfs5sOs/video.html
YES!!
She's like a fairy flying around the piano xD
I like her the most among the young pianists, and think she's one of the greats.
I like how she turns the page at 46:23 while still keeping playing ^^
"More color, better phrasing," etc....she is just so amazing.
She was correcting his technique, bad habits, posture...helping him to understand the piece’s musical structure. Bet you he really learned a lot from that experience. She has a way of communicating the music without hiding all the detail with the pedal.
She is simply amazing how she can communicate with her hands rather than words
All these critiques of Yujas teaching. She just needed more coffee!! But all comments aside for a newb in the paino world I think it's amazing to hear how a musicians think and help out a student.
Yes she's not the best teacher but a "Master class" is a one time exhibition that we are privaledged to see, not a real teacher student relationship. Communication and teaching takes time and consistency. All props to the students for participating.
Yuja Wang, for me, is the best pianist there is. Often, if you just listen to a concerto, you hear bravado and virtuosity and to be honest, most pianists sound pretty much the same. When you hear concertos played by Yuja on the radio, you can almost immediately know that is played by her as she adds so much more delicacy, lyricism and phrasing to her playing. The emotions seem to just burst out of her onto her fingers then onto the piano. I think her Rachmaninov piano concerto No.2 and Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 are out of this world - totally different from the interpretation of other pianists! Please keep giving us more of your musical genius, Yuja!
Lee Victor la valse de ravel aussi! Une merveille!
I don't know if I can play arpeggios in the morning, though ---plays arpeggios flawlessly.
She flexed and I like it haha she's is savage!
@@op-ei8tt any intermediate piano student can play arpeggios in the morning, that's not the point.
Not to mention the fact that she really listens to the orchestra and the conductor when she plays - in one of her Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.2 performances, in the section of incredibly demanding ascending chords leading to the climax of the concerto, she only looked at the conductor without looking at the piano at all. It was the best co-ordination with the orchestra I have ever heard. What's more incredible is that, she does not rush her playing. She takes her time with her phrases and somehow the orchestra fits in perfectly with her tempo. What a gift!
From around 20"10 or so when Yuja asks "Where do you think the phrasing comes..." and then demonstrates the classic approach and attention to "line" which is the main requirement in the successful shaping of each and every phrase. And this was in a portion of "thick" chordal harmonies....Yuja showed him the key to making this particular passage "musical". Young she may be, but I am sure that the young man benefitted from her artistic observations regarding phrase shape. I am also certain that this young man's teacher has instructed him in these things but it is perhaps refreshing to hear it from someone else as well. So much is to be gained from listening "intently" to yourself....because if you listen intently, your body, arms, hands and fingers will give you the right musical response. Congratulations Yuja Wang.
a lengthy master class with a world-class musician where they dont bother to record her comments. brillant.
Yeah seriously! Why didn’t they mic her up?? Did they really expect her to just sit and teach from behind a desk 10 feet away from the piano?..
There are many kinds of Masters. Yuja Wang is young but she was also a prodigy thinking about the structures of the music while the rest of us were just playing loud and fast.
Depending upon memory for structure when she was thinking about inner voices and the harmonic rhythms of the music. Watching her as a young girl and later as a teenager with Fleischer, a Master Private Teacher comfortable teaching private lessons in front of a group. So many different kinds of teachers turning the art of teaching into a performance itself.
But this is different. This is a fine private professor piano teacher preparing his students to play before a great virtuoso who happens to be young and not Western.
If I were young and playing for her I would be happy simply hearing the way she heard, listening to the way she thought about music and most of all listening and watching her phrasing up close and having her watch my hands for motions that were unnecessary and that would inhibit my work.
In singing we call it sympathetic resonance but you have to be ready to do it. She was tentative or just polite (as she seems to be personally on CZcams). But she made herself known. She did that in the Prokofiev, she made the same statements about the line in the Tchaikovsky and the problem of inadequate slow practice in the Rachmaninoff that caused him to fall apart once he began to hear it differently.
But most of all it was those myriads of small melodic and harmonic gestures, the meanings in the voicing and the amazing walking of those fingers across the keyboard like they were born to it while the men just pounded and dropped the lyric line. But when she wanted to be loud, as in the Prokofiev cadenza she was overwhelming in the volume and the inner colors of things.
I am very grateful for these Master Classes by master pianists still performing and sharing the way they think and showing what they mean in action. Andras Schiff is another one and Leon Fleischer of course but these brave young men and an even braver teacher, walked out on the stage with one of the phenomenons of the 21st century.
The person that Musical America called "Musician of the Year" this year. The person that freaked out the NYTimes critic at Carnegie Hall when she performed the Hammerklavier magnificently and then went on to play six tricky, funny, tacky and wonderful encores when the older pianists went home without a single encore worn out by just playing the Beethoven.
It's a great time to be alive with this current crop of young virtuoso's. They are amazing. I hope society is up to appreciating the plenty. Ray Evans Harrell
Ray Evans Harrell A couple of points: Still playing? She still has a long playing career ahead of her! Its is not the same as it's. Distinguish or beat up the corrector! And more than one virtuoso is simply virtuosos. Nothing possessive about it.
Illustrating by playing oneself is a sign of frustration. If she cannot articulate what she wants to hear, why is she teaching? At 29? Don't get me wrong. I love her as a pianist. But this new trend of teaching whilst still in breeches, as it were, is often misguided, good for neither the young master nor the student.
Much appreciated her letting the students play through their piece before being "too picky" .
It is useful to watch her be the subject of a master class. Search here for it. Leon Fleischer was her teacher in that video, IIRC. Of course his style was different, but he jumped in frequently and like her, struggled to find metaphors and other ways of describing in words what can ONLY be described well in the music itself.
As to frustration, please realize that she is primarily a performer and her master classes are new for her. Add to that, while I would call her fluent in English, I would not call her a true MASTER of English. She would be much different if she could speak Chinese to the student, I'm sure. As a side observation, it is interesting to watch how much she had improved in her English. She really used to struggle. Now she is more at ease ... though not at all "perfect".
Another point ... I'm quite sure that the student there VERY much appreciated her taking over the keyboard and ILLUSTRATING what she wanted. He did not want words she had to figure out to describe it, then HE had to translate them back to guess at what she was trying to get at. FAR better for her to play a riff on the keyboard and SHOW him what she wanted. Eliminate TWO translations and get right to the music.
Lastly, who cares how old she is. In fact, the closer she is to when she had to learn it herself, the more she can relate to the problems the student has. She can remember her struggles. Age is not a factor, it is her monumental talent in creating the sound. That is what those students want. They already know how to play the piano. It is not about the music notation, it is about the interpretation. It is the polish to be added to an already well executed performance. She is not there to teach them how to play, but how to play WELL. How to make it their own. At one point she said something like: "Put your own interpretation on it." Meaning that she wanted him to add something but it did not much matter what, so long as he did something other than be mechanical with it.
I can well imagine that the student, if he knows it now or not, is learning from her HOW to learn this for himself in the future. A true teacher not only teaches the idea under consider, but teaches the ability to learn for oneself in the future. One thing I got from watching her and listening to some of her interviews is how much thinking she has done about the music. She obviously has thought long and hard about the particular piece, how it is structured from the standpoint of music theory, and the history of the composer and his other works as well as comparing the work with others by other composers. It is a never ending process of learning. Leonard Bernstein studied, not just glanced at, but studied the Beethoven symphonies each time he conducted them ... looking for more meaning he could squeeze out of them to make the interpretation better.
Last observation, I promise ... I say Yuja perform the Gershwin recently. The next day I watched her on CZcams and after that I went looking for other artists performing it. I stumbled on a performance by Glenn Gould. While he is obviously the king of Bach, he totally sucked at Gershwin. If you are of a mind, compare just the first three minutes or so of Yuja and Glenn performing the Gershwin. Amazingly different.
Ray Evans Harrell Thank you very very much for your great words! I totally agree with you. May "the rest of the world" recognize how great she is as a pianist, teacher and a wonderful human being! And yes - we can be happy and proud to live in this wonderful period of music!
mikethelma Well said!!!
THANKS for your insight Ray. Well said and I hope I gain some knowledge each time I read a post like this and hear a great master class.
Props to the accompanist.....I've seen him at a few masterclasses and his playing seems so much more interesting to listen to .....
Yep, and you'd think they'd have the common courtesy to publish his name as credit.
I thoroughly enjoyed this Yuja Wang's masterclass debut! I learned a lot!! Bravo!!
So not only a world class pianist of yhe first order..but also a superb master class instructor-she can show what to do to improve young pianist's intrepretation and....his improvements are immediate.This is the sign of a master teacher-tutor-clincian! She is truly a master performer AND teacher!
A unique listening pleasure, without a big orchestra. What does Mrs Wang have to complain about here; there's nothing to complain about! It is better if she leaves the young people in peace. When is she going to get married? The Holy Scripture says be fruitful and multiply! How will she multiply if she never finds a husband and has children? 🤨
@@buchstapler Maybe she wants to play and not be taken away from her piano life?
Here command of the English language is so incredible that you don’t even have to play the piano or any musical instrument to understand what she is trying to convey to the young man. That is the Mark of an exceptional teacher of any subject.
Her command
Quite the contrary! One doesn't need to be fluent in whichever language, in order to be an excellent MUSIC teacher. Simply because musis is a language ITSELF and whatever must be demonstrated, can be demonstrated through MUSIC. And THAT'S the beauty of it!
That first guy is so lucky. Yuja was not stinting in her comments. So much feedback! Unlike most people who give master classes who, probably due to time constraints, had to gloss over a lot of mistakes in interpretation and technique which had to be corrected. Yuja was very detailed. I am sure the audience also learned a lot from all the comments she gave this guy regarding how to play certain passages and how to "structure"。 That's her main point , in my opinion -- the student needs to have a better grasp of the structure of the sections of the piece in order to know how to adjust the dynamics and coloring of repetitive melodic motives.
I've never seen this!!! Thank you for uploading 😄😄
Beautifully played, Mr. Kurtser! I wish you the best of luck in your piano career!
People need to remember that this is all done spontaneously. It's a "lesson" done in public, but the teacher has never heard the student before and doesn't know how he plays, what his regular teacher has taught him, what kind of coaching he responds to. Like many performers, she's far more effective when she is demonstrating through her playing, rather than trying to explain things. Students themselves usually respond to that better anyway.
But it's pretty impressive nonetheless, Yuja herself says she doesn't perform this piece, so when she's playing it here it's almost like she's sight-reading it, double parallel octaves, arpeggios and all. And reading off the score, she figures out when he's doing stuff wrong, like when giving to much air between the arpeggios at 24:00. And the fullness of her sound is breathtaking--what power.
Steven Mark 12
Think to have heard Ilan Kurtser had a special need to forget just focusing to play the black components of the score. Yuja must have diagnosed his problem. Maybe all his teachers and he himself - more catholic than the pope - are too much focused on the black pieces of the score, forgetting the white pieces en integrating them with hitting the 88 keyes. Ilan really needed to be set on the path of the emotions deep under the score. And indeed: words wouldn't help him. Yuja's interventions did. Enjoyed the interference of a woman who knows almost all the possible emotions music can evoke en who is able to let them hear in all their nuances held in the structure of the black ánd the white parts of the score.
@@Quasimodest That's racist.
I’m very glad she is sharing her knowledge. She’s a living legend.
It may get worked out at some point, but all these Buchmann-Mehta classes are difficult to follow because the producer does not seem to have provided a microphone arrangement that reconciles the ability of the teacher to move around, use their hands, and still be heard. When she sits at the piano and talks about details around 26:10 it is more or less impossible to hear what she is saying. Yet this probably the most interesting bit. Other classes have been hampered because the teacher is trying to play while holding a microphone in one hand. Other institutions have solved this problem.
she is incredible... goose bumps when she touches the keyboard....!!
I love her humor like her playing. And I cried inside every time nobody laughed at her jokes.
What I really loved is seeing how challenging it is to describe with words the subtle nuances of technique, timing, phrasing, sound quality, etc, which would give young Mr. Kurtser a more "musical" approach and then Ms Wang goes to the piano and we simply hear it being done. She is special!!!!
This happens to be the piece she splashed onto the concert scene with in Boston when she was just 20 years old or so. She has played it at concert halls all over the world. She is at the top of her game, and having her teaching you has to be daunting, especially in front of a class. It is also not easy for a transcendent talent to teach others, in any discipline, as they tend to get frustrated. Who knows if this is something she will want to do down the road, but she did seem to be enjoying it, even if she had some trouble communicating what she wanted at times. Fun to watch.
It's not easy to have your playing analyzed in front of everyone for more than an hour, with a world class pianist right next to you! So kudos to the pianist. And while I think the his playing is very tender, and he clearly cares about the music, there seemed to be some technical issues. He seems to not be using his weight properly. Yet Yuja who is significantly smaller was able to get a sharper, richer, deeper, weightier sound. The other issue is color. In just the few bars that Yuja performed, her playing is full of color, whereas the student's playing seem a bit monotone, mushy and sloppy at times. I hope he takes this advice seriously. He's already very good, but with this advice he could be amazing. This video is also a prime example of what separates great pianist from the rest. The great ones know how to phrase melodies like the best opera singers.
Agreed!!
I think it is because the student's moves too much. Yujia moves less and was more grounded and precise in her movement. The student's upper body wasn't relaxed enough -- at 19:09, he held a bit of tension in his biceps, attacking using his muscles (triceps), thus not releasing all the weight of his arm in to the keys. By contrast, Yujia at 20:05 stayed close to the chord prior to the attack and simply released into the keys, letting the gravity do the work. Since she has a firm, solid arch over her hands, it allows the mass of her arms to transfer down to each finger tips into the keys.
@@jerryy7650 Agree. Great analysis of the movements and the use of the body.
Whoever recorded this and posted it here, thank you.
Those who can’t do, teach...wow, she does both, and in a language she had to learn. Don’t be jealous.
IIRN ,s sound is like a glourious beam.beautuful.
Thank you to hear.
🥰I'm blown away...
The accompanist was awesome as well
Big Bravo student, professor and master-teacher!
Who set up the audio for this masterclass...did they not realize that they would have to mike up ALL the participants and ALL times??
47:58, What a great notes of this bass C on a grand piano.
I would love to see a duet with the great Yuja and Yiruma ❤❤
She's a master, no one else plays this concerto like her! And she has fun doing it!
+Michael Schefold I did not understand her thinking until I heard her in an interview when in response to a question about what she was like as a child before she studied piano she said: "I had no life before the piano. It is just part of me. It is with me all the time and is what I am." Or words to that effect. So, in a way, she is not "having fun" doing it ... it is part of who she is. You just don't get to be Yuja without piano being the only thing you are.
Michael Schefold Umm, how about Argerich or Gilels???
Grigor Petrov They both are absolutely great pianists! But Yuja plays much more effortelessly.
She replaced Martha Argerich when she was 21 Years old. Martha Argerich was ill and Yuja replaced her with Tschaikowsky 1, she didn't play this piece before and she learned it in only one or two days............and performed even better than Martha.......
Well, its a matter of opinion I suppose. I find Martha's all out pedal to the metal style and a "take no prisoners" approach more my taste. Even when Yuja plays full out, it never quite seems barbaric enough-always with a twinge of "politeness"(?)
Grigor Petrov Maybe.....I think she loves the music and didn't fight against it. I was so lucky to talk with her several times, she's very honest, generous and friendly, not a diva at all and for me the person behind the music is very important.
lol she called Tchaikovsky's original version of the beginning "gay" lmfao i love her
Tchaikovsky was actually gay though
I know that's what makes it funnier!
lol
@Brandon Macey, hopefully one day you’ll realise there was nothing wrong with his music or with him.
AM I A Dinasaur!!!? What Ever Happened To The Time When Gay Used TO Mean JOYFUL!!!!!?
It's nice to be able to put in your resumé "Studied in a master class with Yuja Wang." Exceptionally brilliant at the art of music performance though she may be, she has not yet learned the art of teaching. For a comparison, watch a master class of András Schiff.
I totally agree, despite all the 'experts' chiming in here on this thread, I know I'd learn a great deal more within the hour from Yuja Wang than I would from most of these other masterclass critics!
Geez, how OLD is Andras Schiff and how long has he's been teaching? Give her time people, she will be just as excellent an instructor as she is a performer!! I'm certain of it!!
Paul Rupprecht With a hectic programme of more than a hundred concerts each year, I doubt she has the time to hold more than the odd master class or two.
Last week we saw on CZcams Yuja receiving a master class ( she was about 17) Now giving a master class (she is about 29). Amazing ...Fantastic !!!!!
Puissance Précision et Profondeur en même temps dans son jeu! Qui peut en faire autant? A l'oreille on imaginerait physiquement une force de la nature, ce qu'elle est en fait.
I like how she plays some of the right hand parts with her left hand.
Ms. Wang has to use a "hand maicrophon" at a PIANO masterclass...RIDICULOUS!!!
strange, when she plays, my eyes fill with tears...
The problem here is not Yuja but the lack of the proper microphone arrangement. I've seen many master classes on CZcams (like those at the Aspen Institute) where you can hear the teacher speak clearly and the student also.
To be brutally honest, a lot more technical work needed to be done on this concerto before being presented to Yuja Wang in a Masterclass. It was really messy playing in places, and it is hard to be expressive when you are playing wrong notes.
watkinder I totally agree
Good points. Yes, it sounded like the prepared version was in need of more work before having Yuja critique it.
I think he may have just been nervous too, but I agree.
If someone is teaching you, it is because you have problems 🤔
It’s just that Yuja is not the right teacher to correct these technical problems, this should be sorted out way before presenting to this astonishing musician, and she stood her ground and did not correct his technical issues and focused on interpretation which is what we’re all interested in from her, most good teachers can teach technique, few can interpret like Yuja Wang.
Look at her teachers... Leon Fleisher; Gary Graffman... she learned from the best.
Talent could be brutal, scaring, terrific. When you perceive the greatness of a master you feel like you’d be wound by a sword, you feel like a mountain over you shoulder pushing you dramatically on the ground and make you disappear. The perfection of a mind that can do what you would not do in a life study, the effortless play of something you need years to get to its 30% of proficiency is just scaring and frustrating. Genius is scaring. You d better not be involved in that art and just appreciate as a auditor, that would hurt less. The greatness is in a very few people hands and mind: and when they show their art, that is an eruption of perfection beyond common humans limits m, and you are easily destroyed by the first little fire ball.
Very well said, and perceptive!
18:10 Did she just refer to arpeggiated version of the opening as "pretty gay" am I hearing that correctly!?
Yes lol. I love her!
When I read your comment I imagined you saying it with jazz hands..
Effeminate may not be part of her working English vocabulary.
Lot of musical indications on score are not in English but Italian, French, German an so on. Latin common etymology of this word is gaudete, which means joy
I think she just meant gay as in "happy and carefree". The term after all has this meaning all along, before it was co-opted to refer to homosexuality.
She’s great. And standing up for herself in the face of that terrible audio setup with the mikes (or lack of). She knows what she’s about, even younger than almost everyone there...
Also, she may not perform this but I bet she sure as hell studied it... in another interview she says about her time in the US studying (at Curtis I believe?) that in her time there she basically vastly expanded her repertoire, in particularly learning all the big Russian pieces.. this surely would have been covered..
Ok so she totally performed it.. at least twice as I found on CZcams
Of course, this is part of her already performed repertoire.
It sounds a lot better when she plays it.
His version did sound a little pedestrian.
@@charlottegodbolt5138 huh?
"I need more of .......everything."
Excellent!
Sempre Yuja.
I believe this too, but life requires change! Soviet President Gorbachev once said that life punishes anyone who comes late! But Yuja has an extraordinary haircut as a hallmark: smart and yet well-groomed, I've got to admit that! 🙂
Great teacher lucky students! 😊
BRAVISSIMO!
I am not an expert but, May I ask. Did the pianist with the light grey shirt gail at minute 01:48?
A cheap wireless lapel handsfree microphone would have made this class 1000 times more enjoyable...couldn't hear Yuja 77% of the time....lol.....what a shame!!!...and why not have the video camera zoom in further for more detail and closeup....we don't need to see the back of the heads of the people in the front row.....
God those heels!
Do yourself a favour and watch the masterclasses given by András Schiff.
YUJA!!!!!
It would be damn interesting to hear her as a conductor.
She played Beethoven pc 1 and pc 2 as a conductor with the MCO in 2017
Very special moment for those learning. I’m sure they will both have copies to reflect upon.
As a spectator I would have felt far more comfortable if she hadn’t been wearing heels. 🥳
"As a spectator I would have felt far more comfortable if she hadn’t been wearing heels."
Then my advice is never to see her in concert.
@@theoldman2821 I never have extra money to attend those things. I haven't ever really dreamed about it either so if it does take place then it does but if not I'm not bothered.
A big theater and a show does sound like a good night out, even though those old buildings are falling apart internally.
..holy.. she could teach me so much..
Does the university have a budget to perhaps purchase a wireless microphone system, so the instructor can speak without holding that darn mic while trying to play piano and teach?!!
Compared to Wang, the student sounds like he's playing underwater.
Plus, Wang is HOT, in every sense of the word.
Quite unfair for someone that good to also have such an amazing ass.
She is the best pianist alive,and a genius, but not as articulate as I had hoped. Some people have called her "childish". She is much more relaxed at the keyboard. But her mind is superb.
We all sometimes forget English is not only her second language, she learned it first at 14. Hard to articulate thinking in Chinese, translating it in your head to English. Luckily (and probably because of this) she plays rather than talks to demonstrate. And she has also stated she herself learns by listening as much as by reading the score...
@@bloodgrss You do not translate language in your head when communicating in a foriegn tongue. 🤦🏻♂
@@colinjames2469 Sorry, colin, but that's how it works. Not sure why you needed to post incorrectly, but hey-might be a slow day for you...🤦♂
@@bloodgrss”not only …”, I am waiting for a “but also” in your sentence. Also, you need put ‘is’ before the the subject, “Not only is English not her first language’. At this point, she doesn’t need to translate Chinese to English in her head anymore, she thinks in English in a situation like this.
@@dianaperpignan1231 Ho hum, another YT language police troll. If that's how you approach critique here hun, it's pretty weak and irrelevant from the get-go. As far as the rest of your comment, no. I admire the woman and her talent, but expressing herself as clearly in English speech as she can in Chinese or even her written English, ain't quite there yet. And, I don't care. She is still a wonder. ( I threw in the ain't just to please you)
Great accompanist !!!
Beautiful. I only wish the organizers had remembered to put a body mike in Yuja so we could hear what she says when she had to put that mike that look like a canon aside so she can talk and play.
She flies to another city every three days. How much an hour cost her to this , and no one gave her a portable microphone .....
SKubric She has the portable mic, but lays it down to play, then often forgets to pick it up again.
There were two young "gentlemen" there that could have held it while she played; also, they could have supplied her with a stand by the bench.
@@mckavitt well you kind of need to have three hands in order to demonstrate on the piano while talking to the student and holding a mic
She needed a lavalier mic clipped to her.
Seems the technical requirements are slightly out of reach for this young man at this point.
I think that there has been some very unkind posts written here aimed at both student and teacher. As a pro pianist I learned a lot from both. I agree about the mike issue though.
She plays well for first thing in the morning without a warm up. 🤔😀
My teacher once said that only students need a warmup lol kinda frustrating for me
@@xiangshengqu4008 that would frustrate me too.
Argerich says she doesn't warm up anymore. Interesting people.
@@xiangshengqu4008 In that case, your teacher is a fool.
❤️❤️❤️
しばらくして、登場する講師、めちゃくちゃうまい。感動を通り越す。素晴らしい響き。冴え。
Yuga Wang, Lang Lang master classes are amazing
Actually I think it’s not bad! We kinda imagine what she will do in her musical image.
She’s dressed nicely!😮
I'm a piano hobbyist and been playing for more than 10 years. I don't necessarily like her choice of clothing (or maybe lack of) during performances but I will hesitate to admit Yujia is extremely talented and her playing is simply top notch and beautiful in many ways. Though she probably is a bit young to be teaching as she's still developing her art which requires many years of experience. However, the organizer of this masterclass should've prepared a 3rd piano for Yujia along with a wireless microphone.
If Ms. Wang is going to grab my shoulders I want to have a piano class with her!...
Aint nobody heard of clip mikes?
Di da, di di da, tam pam di di, tam pam
Almost all masterclasses i've seen focus on dynamics. A few technique comments here and there but mostly dynamics. Is this normal in the piano world?
on a master level you better know technique...
@@wa2804 Makes sense i guess!
@@wa2804 i come for the percussion (drums) world and almost all masterclasses there focus on technical composition rather than dynamics and expressiveness.
i dont know if i can play arpeggio in the morning LOL
If there are a lot of wrong notes, then maybe that means he hasn't been playing the piece for very long?
I know at conservatories they often push students to learn/perform pieces very quickly. While concert pianists often play what they've known for a long time.
Hit the nail on the head 😊
"Play faster....and better...did I mention faster??"
Why didn't she teach by the piano? It's weird.
some people are great pianists and some are great pianists and teachers
This is a master class. It is not a teaching.
The idea is that a teacher gives you the basic.
A master is inspiration. A higher level in the art.
Helping you find the artist in you. The gap between the technic and your soul in the Art / Music.
It may looks technic from the outside, but that is the magic.
And Yuja is a true magic.
SuspiciousAlertness And some people are both.
republiccooper yes that's exactly what I said
+Erez Geva Very well put. It seems as if she is teaching technique, but she is really using that teaching of technique to teach how to be a musician and teach YOURSELF how to learn new things. If all he got was how to improve that concerto, he would have gotten very little.
SuspiciousAlertness exactly! Hats off to those great teachers!
Remember, the teaching lineage goes Beethoven > Czerny > Leschetizky > Puchalsky > Horowitz > Graffman > Yuja Wang.
She played it as arpeggios.. Carnegie Hall July 17.. outrageous dress (awesomely outrageous 😆) and hair to match...
It’s on CZcams
Theatre Colón your camining..
she needs to be clear on what she is trying to say and needs to articulate her ideas better. I feel like I could not understand what she is trying to say at some point.
However, it is always nice to see professional such as Yuja Wang having master class.
its true yes. but I think when you hear her play you understand. the thing is she doesn't really teach "technique" to the student, i think he uses way to much weight (i have the same problem) and you clearly hear yuja wang sound completely different, much more accurate and light . i have no words to describe it really.
Gnosza Harvard do youthink she knows?
she knows her life better than i do.
Gnosza Harvard I am so sorry to say that, but donot you think it is enough for this world that we just repeat, repeat and repeat as a job. If man can write a single note of his own! I am sorry, I am a physist, I may think in another way.
I dont understand what u just said.
Yuja: you are not human. I love you!!!
19:56 is the BEST part of this whole video....wiggle in the walk, giggle in the talk....
Dayum... Eyesight to the blind
I would be scared if she was my teacher. I feel she'd have a go at me all the time because I hit the wrong notes when I read music. :(
Divine Yuja,.... the new Martha Argerich.
Not even close! 😂
Technically maybe more advance (mostly speed) but she doesn’t have the versatility Martha had to play so many composers so well. Yuja is the best at Rachmaninov and that’s it. her style is way too aggressive and lacks the expression and musicality of the greats, especially Martha’s.
@@gpapa31 I’ve heard her in Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Liszt, Mozart (surprisingly good!), Schumann, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Bach, Grieg and Chopin. She’s a revelation in all of them. Sublimely expressive and a real musical personality.
I adore Martha. I’m just happy to see has a successor. (Martha also tended to rush a bit, especially when younger, - but even still).
