    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 :)

    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.

    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 😊

      @waterfordogs2226 Před 4 lety +13

      +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

    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!
