If you have questions about this recording, please comment here and if I get enough interest, I'll answer them in the coming bloopers video 🙂
do you think about anything specific when feeling the emotion so well in your playing? you are very expressive and your music brings tears to my eyes!!
What would you say is the most difficult thing about learning to perform this piece, and how were you able to overcome the difficulty in your case?
Tiffany Poon What do you think about an app called Smule Magic piano where you can basically play any piece with two fingers. Does that count as playing the piano? Then I've played this piece! 😂
Tiffany Poon Can you film a video of you learning a new piece?I really want to know how you start and process things :) Lots of love from Germany
I played this peace a few months ago. For me it was very difficult to play the octaves and accords with the right hand in the middle. Is this a problem for you, too? And do you have any tips for this problem? My hand has often hurted after doing this.
I'm a jazz pianist, i do a decent amount of work around my area. I used do alot of "classical playing" and went through all the conservatory through out my years. But now I feel like I've lost my interest in practicing and working on my craft. These performances and your rehearsal videos have shined a light on something that i'm missing. Thank's for sharing all aspects of your Art. I hope that ill see you perform live one day. All the best!
Another outstanding effect of the channel. Have you checked out Aimee Nolte's channel? She's a jazz pianist who does some very interesting discussions and performances on her channel, along with the occasional live session. You might like what she does, idk.

Tiffany is way ahead of my limited ability. Her playing inspires me to try harder. Thank you dear girl.
I've heard it been played faster. But I like this version better. So delicately performed. Thank you for sharing with us.
“I’ve heard it played faster” is kinda like trying a food and saying “I’ve tasted saltier”. Things are most enjoyable when they achieve proper balance and are well executed
It should move along a tad more, yes.
faster is wrong this is the correct speed. like on spot.
@@ibuprofen303 no no no not at all. the notes that add subtle sounds of sorrow are just dismissed if you rush the piece . The high notes are suppose to hang in the air like a morning sun. All adding up to the despondent deep tone of depression and sadness, but then... that glimmer of light, the reason you keep living, despite the suffering in this world.
@@jameseddleman6944 I think maybe with not so much extreme rubato, perhaps. It needs to keep time slightly more, if played slower. Not metronomically, obviously, but this is not Rachmaninov
So few get this prelude right in my opinion .Tiffany Poon does.
Some play it like a jolly romp. Others play it far too slow.
The story behind it is key: Chopin wrote it whilst on a Spanish island thinking he was dying. (he recovered and returned home). Rain was falling and he was picturing him in his coffin with rain falling on him.
So it's supposed to be sombre deep and reflecting on one's life abd mortality . But it has to maintain a rhythm of rain falling.
Only 1 other I think has nailed this (deliberate pun) : the player is Madeline somebody (forgot surname). it's played on a Great Courses lecture on best ever piano pieces.
Beautifully played Tiffany Poon. Many have talent but few interpret pieces intelligently.
😲 me after the first few notes. There is no artist here, it is the sound of time passing through us. Thank you for this beautiful piece.
An interpretation, such as yours, that can draw out, with delicacy and passion - not to mention technical skill - every last drop of emotion and poetry from Chopin’s masterwork, is a true catharsis.
Nailed it. I had to listen to 5 versions and when I heard yours it just felt right. Beautiful :)
Same here.
I agree!
Same!!!
I cried while listening to this. Probably the best interpretation of this piece I have heard.
This is an amazing performance by the young pianist Tiffany Poon. So nice, like she and the piano are one soul entwined.
Bravo Tiffany. You played it the way it's supposed to be played. Some pianist show off by playing some notes fast. You just nailed it. Thank you for very sweet way of playing it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
finally someone not rushing the hell out of the piece. THANK YOU took me years to find someone other than Vladimir Horowitz who paced it just right
I love this piece of Chopin music. This is the best performance of the music - ever. Done with such style, such commitment, such grace. No one is ever going to best Tiffany Poon in this masterpiece. JRH
This is incredible. Thank you for connecting with Chopin. I really felt he was there in your interpretation.
This is absolutely the best I have heard it played!!! Thankyou ~
I definitively love your playing. I think it comes from your beautiful being.
Simply beautiful. A composition so beautiful and so well interpreted!
Thanks Tiffany. So relaxing. Had my eyes closed the whole time.
This piece has poise and dignity which you captured perfectly, thank you
ONE of my favorite Chopin pieces . I love the middle part so much 😍
Great job!
Best version I’ve heard of this (and since I’ve played it myself and played Halo 3, I’ve heard a lot of versions lol).
I'm very partial to this piece. Did you, or have you ever sat in the shelter in the out of doors during; a constant rain, to where it's only you sitting in the shelter as the rain pours down outside? One begins to notice little things you haven't noticed before. Leaves in puddles of water. Insects begin to find a place to hide so they can keep dry. Even the birds sort of quiet down a bit. Then a drop in temperature as the rain still falls cooling the air. I think what Chopin saw within his own need when writing this piece of music, is that still placed within the mind's eye of a person's composure, that must meet with and be entertained by one of the facets of nature. The act of it just plain raining is one of those fields of nature entertaining us. You capture this feeling oh so well in your playing Tiffaney. Thank you so very much.
Omg Tiffany... You make me cry with this lovely piece. Thank you so much for make me feel this feeling :')
Thanks , Tiffany ! It is so inspiring ,.... both the playing and the Great Artist's Composition , we are glad to be able to attend to it once that comes out !
This is JUST so nice, very soothing music indeed. One of Tiffany Poons best ever performances, just so sweet, love it.
I find I’m even breathing with your music. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for playing my favourite piece from Chopin...
This piece fits perfectly to the current weather here in germany. :-) Great interpretation and thank you for sharing!
So I started playing piano this year (I'm 40). I looked to your videos a lot for inspiration and this one definitely did that. I practice at least an hour a day (I have a very busy professional life), but I hope to one day do pieces like this justice. This was fantastic.
The interpretation and emotion is everything in this piece and you did wonderfully, brava!
What an exquisite touch and phrasing! The singing lines are so lovely!
This is an amazing interpretation of this piece. I’ve been playing it since my lecturer played a recording of this piece and it requires such a precise and delicate touch and feeling and you nailed it.
Beautiful tone. Like liquid crystal wrapped in velvet. Lovely piano too!
an amazing job of this composition. I can feel your passion.
Thank you for the videos, Tiffany. It started raining here in Hong Kong when I listened to this beautifully played prelude.
Your interprietation is fabulous. The emotion you are putting in each piece is amazing. Thanks you so much for all these video you posted, it is a pleasure to be able to listening them. xo
Wow. Just...just perfect to my ear. Exactly how I want to hear it. Not rushed.
just beautiful. thank you tiff.
please play and record the whole set of 24. would be great listen to!
Greaat interpretation of this amazing prelude...goosebumps everytime with the change of the mood
Great playing! I love the flow between phrases and ideas within the piece.
The best interpretation of this piece I have heard, thank you Tiffany!
OMFG.... I now have a new favorite recording of this piece! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I am now overwhelmed. The meter is beyond perfect!
This is absolutely fabulous!!!
This version is the best one I had ever heard 🥹
Thank you to share !
Hope some day I can play this song as good as you 🫶🏻
Such a gentle and calming interpretation, well done! 😁
Very nicely done.One of my favorite pieces, due to it's depth and its romantic intonement.
I like this Chopin Prelude No. 15 "Raindrops" a lot. Perfect performance. Thanks. JRH
for me one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. it makes me happy, sad, thoughtful and it calms my mind. you played it so wonderfully with so much skill and passion. the timing and the dynamic could not be better to transport all the emotions Chopin intended it to be played. worldclass !! thank you !!
What a beautiful performance. Thank you so much. Superb communication, drawing us into your world. Bravo!
It was especially apropos today as it was raining here in Portland, OR 😊
Just a tremendously talented artist musing eloquently in idiom of Chopin. The sense of stillness and introspection is breathtaking! Bravo!
Especially love the articulation of the ending
Truly beautiful performance. Bravo.
I may have commented here before but I keep coming back to this. Beautiful playing of an amazing piece.
How soothing could this song be, the emotions who thy feel, as looking straight into the distinct world but as this is it's a dream.
This is beautiful.
Very delicately performed. You were like a statue coming to life.
Elegant and inspiring Tiffany!
Thank you Tiffany, only discovered your interpretation today....and it’s beautiful.
thankyou for this one which's my favorite
Beautiful playing❤️This piece starts off bubbly but then turns dark, the first time I ever heard it I was supprised at how serious it got after it sounded promising
Thank you for doing this song justice. I feel like this song is meant to be played slower then most that play it.
Daaaaaaamn girl you crushed it. What a fantastic job. Excellent work.
this is an incredibly beautiful prelude!
Beautiful performance of this Chopin piece.
My fave version of no.15. Thanks T.P. 🖖
love your version ♥️
So beautifully played! Everything is right : precision, softness, power, rythme and emotion ! I wonder what you were thinking about...
Thant you for this heavenly musical interlude in my day !
So sensitively played! Heartbreaking
I love this composition, and I love this pianist. You are very sweet and you have a great sense of musicality.
THIS IS THE BEST INTERPRETATION! YOU NAILED IT TIFFANY!
This is beautiful, thank you. I’m not only thanking you for the wonderful interpretation, I’m also thanking you for all the time that you dedicate to your craft that lets you play this beautifully. So really, thank you.
Semplicemente perfetta
Very good. I am so glad you share these videos. Thank You
The best interpretation on the CZcams!
Beautiful rubato whilst maintaining the steady pulse of Ab/G# and lovely change of dynamics with a delicate touch on the keys. Great clarity especially on the key changes to C# minor.
I am playing this on Tuesday the 24th, but I will never sound as good as this.
Gentle yet intense, astounding interpretation!
You play so beautifully 😍💖
I love you so much for your videos, you are such a inspiration for me! Thank you!!
Tiffany voce é fantastica. Essa foi a melhor interpretaçao que ja ouvi, tive a sensaçao de estar flutuando no desconhecido, minha alma parecia estar em outra dimensão, uma leveza invadiu meu ser.Bravissímo Tiffany!!! 👏👏👏👏
Such a great master of music and piano you are.
It's very beautiful!!!!!!!😍 I love it!!!😍 Thw song is magic and is one of my favourite songs of piano. Thank you very much for explain to us the art and magic of piano's song.
You're incredible!😊😘💪❤
There's little technical difficulty in this Prelude; the interpretative aspect, however, can be quite a challenge. And you absolutely overcame it (assuming there was any difficulty for you in the first place). Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful performances.
Got to disagree on the "little difficulty". Perhaps compared to some of the wildly difficult Chopin this is easier but it's still a grade 9 piece and it's hardly easy!
Under what system is this grade 9? I'm an intermediate level player and just learned it recently.
@@mythun6735 in the Royal conservatory of music,
...it's in my gr. 9. book.
@@mythun6735 No offence but your recording on CZcams is full of mistakes and much more practice and improvement required before you can even begin to say that you can play it ''MODERATELY'' well. Certainly NO comparison to this fine performance by Tiffany Poon. Lets face it, she is in a completely different league to you.
@lovemetu Uh, I never said I was anywhere near as good as Tiffany. I'm well aware it's not perfect, and that recording wasn't meant to be a demonstration of me playing the piece to the best of my ability -- it was my third time playing in front of people in my 2.5 years of playing and I made a lot of mistakes due to pressure and anxiety.
I can say I can play the piece fairly well, regardless of that recording. My professor is in agreement. Not sure what made you feel like you needed to comment this, I was just asking what system it was in Grade 9 as. Chill out.
Such wonderful piece!
I really like how you created the raindrop effect with all repeating notes. I am currently learning this piece and am working on the raindrop affect
Merci Tifffany. Ton interprétation Du Prélude No. 15 de Chopin me bouleverse complètement chaque fois que je l'entend. Tu l'interprètes de la même façon que mon épouse qui est décédé depuis déjà 8 ans et cela me fait revivre des moments exaltants. Continues je t'en prie de jouer si divinement bien ton piano. Tu me remplis d'amour et de joie grâce à ta façon dont tu joues cette belle musique de Chopin.
Marvellously played. I enjoy Chopin and his many pieces and interpretations. Yours is one of the best! I'm from Poland, btw:) THANK YOU.
Perfect, Tiffany. Thank you.
THIS IS AMAZING
This is one of my favorites!
Thank you for introducing me to this piece. I am going to learn it.
This 'Rain Drop" prelude reminded me of Southern China where I lived as a kid in a hill village. I can hear the thunder and rain drops. I can also hear the bullfrogs crocking after the down pour in the bass.
most beautiful interpretation of this song.
Beautiful as always
Thank you 🙏
such a very rare and awesome deep sensibility for such a young person. definitely a hard to find gift
Composed at Majorca, with George Sand by his side while he was in recovery from what likely to be Tuberculosis. It rained nonstop, and the pattering of the rain was the inspiration for this composition.
Impressive also working on this😱
btw you look stunning in this beautiful dress❤️
The best interpretation ever heard !
Amazing performance Tiffany :)
Hello Tiffany, ILoveYou. Thank you for the relaxing playlist
great dynamics... exquisite touch
truly a remarkable interpretation. Incredible!
I like chopin! and I respect Tiffany~~~
Chopin's Prelude 15, he composed it in Mallorca when he spent a summer with George Sand (Aurore Dupin) and his children, during a torrential rain, the leak that was in his charterhouse inspired this Masterpiece, we can hear the insistent droplet from beginning to end.
