Frederic Chopin, Mazurka in A minor, Op 67, No. 4, performed by Mme Thai Thi Lien, Teacher Emeritus at the National Academy of Music in Hanoi, Vietnam, in an event to honor and celebrate her remarkable career. Mme Lien is also the mother of famed pianist Dang Thai Son, Gold Medalist of the 10th Chopin International Competition in Warsaw, Poland in 1980.

I was 64 when I started learning how to play piano and now I am writing songs and improvising my own romantic melody.
What old are you now?
Oh my goodness!!! That is wonderful!! When I was younger I was given lessons in guitar and organ. It was very short lived only a semester. My parents were not well off, but I truly would love to go back to music and learn piano. I did cheat though, with learning music, I wrote the letters instead. 😂
Hai..can you share how to become like you?.
Wow! Respect!
No no
The pianist is the 103-year old madame Thái Thị Liên (born August 4, 1918), the mother of Dang Thai Son, first prize winner of the 1980 Chopin competition in Warsaw. She graduated from the Prague Conservatory.
Спасибо!
She is amazing!
Thanks about your infomation.
Thank you so much for the information, I thought she was wearing áo dài , Vietnamese National dress ❤️❤️❤️
I was wondering why it reminded me of Dang Thai Son’s Mazurka.
I don’t play an instrument, unless you count my voice, this Beautiful Lady is an absolute joy. To be 103 and still playing Piano the way She does, God Bless this Amazing Woman and may She be an Inspiration to Everyone in the World!
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.

Romans 3:23❤😊❤❤
Just imagine: at that point she had 90 years or more piano experience. This is so beautiful.
RIP Madame
For a person of one hundred year old to play with such accuracy and feeling is a magnificent effort. As an 89 year old retired pianist and music teacher I well know all the problems besetting one in old age. Those who gave thumbs down should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Good for you,Cookie! 👍

Good to see an older person on the internet, much respect to you :D
Chopin's music is some of the most difficult I have ever learned. To watch and listen to this marvelous 100 year old is such a joy! My mom is 98 and can still play Clair de Lune! God bless our elders!

How incredibly brave to go out there and play

She is the mother of Dang Thai Son pianist who win the first price Chopin competition . She graduated in Prague conservatory , born in august 1918

I am 70 yrs. Started learning Keyboard recently. Age is not a constraint for learning the instrument, if there is a strong willingness to learn. Practicing is the key word.
The love for music to be expressed from inside to your instrument..play on. Play and fun as you practice too
Strong willingness and or passion to learn and lots of practice.....a sure must.

That is so inspiring. My husband bought me a piano for Christmas. After watching the Pianist for the twentieth time now I am learning how to play the piano. Chopin is my goal...a few measures at a time. Btw...I'm 58.

You have your whole life ahead of you. You’ll do fine. I accompanied the choir in highschool. That was lots more fun.
you'll get the hang of it when you're a 100 years old lol
Just witnessing the love, appreciation and honor given to her by the audience brought me to tears. Plus she’s a damn good 100 year old pianist!

Hi🌹
I felt the same. A life of dedication giving his rewards
yer ding danged right!
I am 59 and just started learn piano playing because of Chopin! She gives hope. Thank you, it is wonderful!
Christine Gorak 👍🏻
How are you doing by the way
Do we really need a piano at home to be able to learn?
Keep up the playing acoustic and electronic its all GOOD.
I know I am 63, but try Schubert and Piazolla as well, very nice and attainable at our age
Good luck!
I am 60 years old and I just began to learn accordion. I’ve had many difficulties, but I Will not give up.
Hope you'll nail it!
Never never NEVER give up ‼️‼️‼️
@@cynthiagonzalez658 Thank you.
@@avadaentertainment3429 Thank you.
I finished musical school, but since then did not practice.... 38 years passed.... I must start to play now...
As a pianist less than half her age I applaud her on her technique and the fact that is stitched in her brain that she can play such a difficult piece from memory. That is dedication and a love for music to say the least. My hat is off to her to be able to not only remember the notes but to get her hundred year old fingers to play so elegantly!!
Beautiful and inspiring.
100 yers old ? That's impressive.
I am over 80, and am learning to play the piano again, as l did in my younger yea
You summed it up correctly...dedication and the LOVE of music.
@@suziquestionable2845 God bless you Susie Q!
Fantastic. I learnt piano at 46....I thought I was the oldest, I am glad to see there are many more souls not limited by age...
Too many people judge Perfection by the technique but as you can see in this beautiful performance it has to do with emotion and soul. I saw Segovia in his 80s & it was wonderful🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
You're right.
My piano instructor said that music is emotion Brava!
2:05 she's looking at Chopin's spirit. "So, which one you want me to play?"
🤣🤣🤣
You are awesome.Yes,need to discuss with Chopin first,to show respect.
Just amazing! The dexterity of her fingers, compared to the rest of the body... hard to imagine anyone still playing so beautifully at this age, or even living to this age... it’s wonderful to see!
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Still playing from memory! I'll be happy if I can remember my own name at that age!
Practice is the key. Always.
You may forget who your children are... but you don’t forget good music.
Exercise & Relax, "They tell me there's two signs of old age, one's loss of memory and I dont remember the other one."
Funny
I just started taking piano lessons at 74, I thought I was going to play on my mother's piano which I inherited but at it's first tuning was told the bass bridge had collapsed and it was not fixable so my husband bought me a baby grand on which to learn, as his last gift to me shortly before he passed away.
I have a wonderful encouraging young woman who is very patient with me. I am finding that at times my fingers do not cooperate with my wishes but I would hope to be able to continue to 100 as this amazing lady has done. Things do change in the brain ( I am finding out) and our population is scurged with demensia and Alzheimer's, so one of my many motivations was to ward off further inevitable deterioration. It's a fascinating topic, the brain and learning music. In addition, I am truly very much enjoying it, pretty much a consuming new hobby. And in case anyone is interested I really do see significant changes in my brain.
So sorry to the person whose mother stopped teaching adults, it's rather a disservice, but I do understand it would take a special person to continue teaching someone who doesn't align with the "normal" progress.
I love you maam
Музыка уносит ее в далекое,далекое детство,отрочество,в молодость........,и,пока она играет,она молода,красива,сильна.Любит жизнь,любит его......,она счастлива....А Музыка вознаграждает ее ,продлевая ее жизнь.Вот как выглядит СЧАСТЬЕ

oof
And Schubert. That's the worst.
And Chopin?
I absolutely believe that to be true
I find this very moving. I wish for myself as a pianist to become 100 years old and still being able to play like this. Her joints are still in excellent shape for a person of 100 years old. It's amazing! And still having the ability to hear anything in the first place....She is really a lovely lucky lady!
Monique Houdijk
Very lucky indeed!
@@ubiestinsula And the harder she works, the luckier she gets.
@R J you are absolutely correct.
My exact feeling. I have such a relationship with piano and music, I can’t imagine how strong that would be after all those years.
At 100 yrs she still can play very complex music perfectly and enjoyably: that is something everyone is expected to like.
I' m 67 and I study piano since the year before.

Increible que ejemplo !!!!Su nombre cual es ?
She walked very slowly like breeze but her fingers are running smoothly on the notes.
She is a national treasure! My friend Rosa Rio died just short of her 108th birthday. She was playing 2 shows a day at the Tampa Theater in Florida. She was sharp as a tack until two days before she passed. God bless this person. True genius never dies.
Rest in peace. Put link to her on CZcams

Thank You So Much for posting about Rosa here !! I only just found out about Rosa's passing.. Musicians being older /elder Musicians that is to deem them , is to be able to know soul lives through whatever life is here and now and transcend it too! Bless All Musicians and Gratitude to Rosa and Mme Lien !! Play On!!
Many of us at that age wouldn't be able to go on stage. Being 100 is as much an accomplishment as the music she performed...
thepianoplayer416 Umm.. many of us at that age would be long dead.
thepianoplayer416 yea because the majority of us would be dead
I'm waiting to get to 100 and see if I will go up stage
I will do it.
So true
I would be very happy , if I could breath at the 100-age

How lovely to see this young lady play the piano. She's really good! Keep up the good work.
Нужно отдать дань этому великолепному возрасту!!! Не всем дано дожить , да ещё и выступить на сцене!
Не надо думать о возрасте. Не стоит ему дань отдавать. Нужно просто оставаться человеком на протяжение всей жизни, как бы это не было трудно. И желательно счастливым человеком. А вот что такое человек..., затрудняюсь пока ответить. Прожил более полвека, да так и остался для меня человек неразгаданной загадкой...

If I can get dressed and remember my own name at 100 I will be happy. Bravo to this inspirational lady.
If you love art,means you love life.You will be able for sure my friend
This is the true statement.How many of us will get to that age and still be able to walk to the piano and play Chopin from memory.
What’s so remarkable is that ppl forget that elders have been there, done that, and have the answers to many things, and all u have to do is ask a wise old person about anything, about life, and their answer will be far better than ur friends or family simply because they have seen more than the rest of us.
The world full of ignorance
@@elizabethcollins1313
And the elders give u an answer in 5 min. that is so satisfying, but ppl prefer to pay an analyst stranger $100 for an hour of vacant information. I love talking to wise elders. It’s baffling that so many don’t realize they r there for us for a reason.
What a wonderful life - when you are a100 and the whole world now can hear your music ...people in different corners of the globe .. Amazing on so many levels!

I started playing piano at 8 years of age. I am 75 years old (soon to be 76) and on the occasion of my 50th birthday, my husband purchased a (very) grand piano for me. It has since, been my pride and joy all these years. More importantly, it is the single most treasured and loved representation of my Beloved's devotion and love to me. And, imagine, after 42 years of marriage he still takes my breath away!
Какое отношение к старости!Уважение!

Amazing how musicianship does not diminish. Music is truly one of the great mysteries.
The fingers remember what the mind may not-
yes
Part of the mind remembers everything!Yes muscle memory. The 🖐️fingers just follow the deep commands.
Neil Cowan Rubbish! Fingers can't do a damn thing without mind. There is no such thing as muscle memory - just memory, and it's located in the brain. Also, what makes you assume her mind isn't razor sharp?
Mike Williams because she had some memory lapses and stumbles. It can occur in any age group. My concert pianist friend Steven Gordon had memory lapses and took beta blockers. I am 78 and wish I played anywhere as well as she does. My mind and fingers have forgot. Not enough practice!
@@mikewilliams258 He is right. Muscle memory is a real thing. Google it.
She is wonderful. A lifetime of serious study gives her the foundation to play this piece so well today. She gives me hope, truly. Bravissima.
This video made me feel so much. What a celebration of not only the music but her life work and love. What a beautiful special rendition of this piece. I hope I can play like that when I’m 100
Beautiful You are amazing 👏 ❤
Helle!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe!!
Wonderful she have a big age. But her mind and fingers are in good condition I love to hear and learn from the elderly People . May God bless her.
And may karma bless you.
Chopin claps his hands from heaven.
Truly amazing but also the fact she is doing this without sheet music!! What a wonderful, graceful lady. 😘💕
That is the beauty of music and art. When you are no longer able to play sports, you always have these gifts! More power to you all who have started music lessons later in life. It is never to late!!!! ❤️
When I'm 100 I just hope I remember what a piano is and does.
I don't know how old you are, but it's good that you're claiming to live at the age of 100 or maybe older than that!
Our old people are an encyclopedia of wisdom and knowledge, a pity that we do not pay much attention in our time to this category of geniuses.
I am now 72 and did not start composing for piano until age 58 after 52 years of playing the music of all the greats. I haven't played anyone else's music for 14 years and now have about 200 compositions including the 9-piece Rasputin Rhapsody I'm just completing. Never too late to explode in creativity.
OMG… She is incredible. I love her! What a gift.
Blessed one..one century lady.. awesome...
God bless you.. my dear lady..
It's her karma, not God.

It's amazing she can even play at all when she could barely walk, and couldn't even sit down by herself. Chopin til the end! I certainly want to hear him up to my final days...wish I could play him myself as good as her! I have to settle for listening to others...
Замечательно! В таком возрасте сыграть по памяти без нот!
Дай Бог здоровья и желания сыграть для публики!!!
Never underestimate what a person has done in their life and is still capable of doing. Bravo! 💐
Fantastic . A most memorable event for anyone viewing it. Complete admiration for the organizer. Salute to the 100 year old musician
Absolutely incredible! Played as Chopin should be. Brava!
bravo
Phenomenal!! Bravo 👏 I had tears in my eyes before the 1st note .
I can see how, by looking at this wonderful video of Mme Thai Thi Lien, it encourages many to look beyond the cruel barriers of age! She is a true icon for many musicians! Mr. Son is so fortunate to have always had such a wonderful mother.
Yes.This gives me hope.Before my late husband was convincing me to learn to play the piano.He does and so all our four kids.Now I am encouraged to learn.She is is inspiring.
Remarkable how Asians worship the old and wise people. I‘m German and am so sad, that this is not the same here. We all should listen to the wisdom of elder persons. They know, what they are talking about ❤️🙌🙏❤️

I believe that anyone playing a musical instrument, especially a piano, is destined for a long life. My sister-in-law is 94, still teaches piano ad many of her students go into state competition, I also met a lady, also 94 in France who also teaches piano.
Bewundernswert!
Welch eine Gnade, wenn jemand in diesem hohen Alter noch so fit ist!
Thank you, thank you so much for this lovely performance, dear Madame Thai Thi Lien, I feel so much blessed to hear it. I bow my head before your loveliness of soul and immense beauty of your playing of Chopin Mazurka, that is felt in every single note which the grand piano sings with you in such deep tenderness.
Bravo, Amazing how she remembers the music and the dynamics. Watching from Pasay City, Philippines 🇵🇭.
Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for the share!! To make it to 100 and still be able to jam is an unimaginable accomplishment.
The music she played was well done especially at 100 years but just as important are the feelings the music allows you to experience.
Maravillosa. Es un privilegio poder haberla escuchado. Mil gracias.
OMG! How fantastic you play!
Thanks-a-million, Madam
She plays with such feeling it makes me cry and chills both ! Beautiful
Truly amazing. What alacrity and concert presence. Such a way of playing shows a way that is rarely found today outside the presence of Rubinstein and Horowitz.
Maravilhoso! Exemplo para todos nós!
Simply wonderful! Thank You so much
What an inspiration, I have just started learning to play the accordion again after a nigh on 50-year absence at a mere 74 years of age, and enjoying it tremendously......{;o;}
Sometimes when young musicians play technically « perfect » pieces it can feel so artificial and lifeless. This piece the way she plays it is so flawed and yet full of life, experience, sorrow: it’s imperfections are of time. I love it!
