Well, this was an unexpected part of my trip. Had the best time at the Museum of San Colombano in Bologna, Italy, playing on harpsichords and fortepianos at the Tagliavini Collection. Grazie Mille, Mr. Liuwe Tamminga!

Bach on Harpsichord, Haydn & Mozart on Fortepiano / Travel Q&A November 2019| Tiffany Vlogs #92

In this quarantine, sometimes I forget how great this world can be.

[@Altroante]

I like that jacket so much.

[@samanthayork3125]

Bach on harpsichord? That's my heaven!! Glad you got to visit!

[@coralreef909]

BACH’S KEYBOARD COMPOSITIONS WERE COMPOSED FOR THE HARPSICHORD AND CLAVICHORD. J.S. BACH NEVER KNEW THE MODERN PIANO OR EVEN THE FORTEPIANO. SO YEAH MORE MODERN PIANIST SHOULD BE EQUALLY AT HOME ON THE HARPSICHORD AND CLAVICHORD.

[@nicholaslittle2312]

I love harpsichord.

[@akshitsharma8475]

@@coralreef909 Yes, they were composed for the Harpsichord and Clavichord. but I think that Bach knew what a Piano is because Piano was invented around the year 1700 and Bach died in 1750.

[@therainforest4314]

I have always loved the sound of harpsichords, and there's nothing quite like that subtle crunch(Due to the plectrum apparatus instead of hammers that pianos have.) under the finger-tips, as you press the keys down. Thank you, Tiffany Poon, for sharing your amazing experience with these beautiful old instruments. :)

[@adamundaneedge2472]

"theres a chance I look crazy right now" *Glows brighter than the sun*

[@andresgunther]

5:05 WOW, Tiffany!! I'm so glad that you have such an enthusiasm for historical keyboard instruments. Not every pianist has that. And that the museum allowed you to play on them was HUGE privilege. This truly will be one of my favorite vlogs to watch over and over again!

[@brucebenson9892]

Any music lover with the good fortune to visit Bologna must make every effort to visit San Colombano. The museum is housed in a gorgeous 16th century oratory and has on display one of the world's most extensive collections of historical pianos.. Public concerts are held several times a month with many of the ancient instruments in starring roles.

[@erick-gd7wo]

This should be your peak of what a pianist could dream of, playing period instruments... 👍👍👍

[@origivon5394]

Clicked as fast as I could! Can’t believe I watched you since you had 5k followers

[@AnnaKhomichkoPianist]

I think we should have more possibilities to play historical instruments in our schools - it’s so important for understanding the stylistics! Great you had a chance to try some of them :)

[@dameinoferrall2400]

There's now a Chopin competition that is organized including original 1847 Pleyels. First one was earlier this year.

[@andresgunther]

@@dameinoferrall2400 Do you have a link or information about that? I am VERY interested in historical keyboard instruments. Thanks :-)

[@utvpoop]

@@andresgunther Surprisingly though, the historical Chopin competition was about a year ago. Find the KZbin channel "The Chopin Institute" or so (the organisation in Poland which organises the "main" Chopin competition), they have the recordings of the livestreams of all stages (yes, they did livestream everything) and some highlighted pieces. More to say, they also have the recordings from the festival "Chopin and his Europe" - also including period instruments. A vital place for HIP lovers.

[@utvpoop]

@Anna Khomichko Pianist unfortunately they are very expensive and too fragile (not to be said about the reconstructions). Fortunately though, we have a lot of recordings and footages.

9:21 if this piano can actually do an orchestra hit, that's it, im stealing it!

[@mallorga1965]

That sewing box piano is just incredible!

[@oiliollo]

Hello from Hong Kong, thx for uploading every week. I'm so happy every time when I see there's a new video. It motivates me to learn new pieces and practice harder. :)

[@Rose-zg9pu]

9:22 loved that one!! The sound it produces with the bells and all is amazing. Great video once again

[@mlggodzilla1567]

The best architecture of the world, beauty vs the embarassing ugliness of dildos skyscrapers.

[@LisaRupingCheng]

So amazing when you play Bach on a harpsichord Tiffany. Love it.

[@thomashughes7954]

Thank you so much for letting us see and hear you play these historic pianos! Bravo!

[@Jcorban08]

The tour was so very fascinating and interesting! How nice the curator allowed you to play those historical keyboards. Absolutely loved watching and listening! It must of been amazing to discover, first hand, the vast range of personalities. What a delightful treat! Thanks, Tiffany!

[@OlMossBack]

WOW! this one incredible VLOG! I could spend all day listening to Ms Poon playing different instruments in that museum.

[@HidekazuOki]

Would've loved to hear all of the Italian Concerto on the Harpsichord! It sounds soooooooo gorgeous! (they all sound great though...those harpsichords have a heart-melting sound!)

[@p.w.4203]

Wow! Thx Tiffany for bringing the museum instruments to life. Great!

[@ssmaktoum]

9:56 i died!!! Ahhahahaha!!!! Bells and drums and symbols 🤣😂👯‍♀️ that was so fun to hear!! I feel like you were like a kid at the toy store so mesmerized because i was 😀☝️ This was fun to watch!!!! Loved it! Thanks for posting your adventures and have fun!

[@BeammeupSpotty]

enjoyable on many levels, a Beethoven-like virtuoso playing Beethoven on a Beethoven piano. Wow. as you say...to be alive in Vienna in 1810. You put us there. Thanks much!!!!!

[@Alan-kr2uy]

Finally Bach on Harpsichord! Thank you Tiffany ❤️

[@moralboundaries1]

I feel like Tiffany could be a character in a Wes Anderson movie.

[@L4AH4N1889]

Such a dreamy journey through history hearing personally the exact voices bach and Mozart heard in their lives three centuries ago!

[@sumairymendez6936]

OMG OMG She read my DM !!! (said in a high pitched voice while jumping up and down)

[@Omolett0]

That opening with the music box made my day. I don't know why, but it was so simple and enjoyable lol

[@alcyonecrucis]

What a Grand Tour you had, looking back at 2020... I am glad you got some recordings of those fortepianos.

[@leekylynn]

Keep going Tiffany!! Love the part where you played the Harpsichord. It really brought Bach closer when he played the instrument in his time.

[@RetroPlus]

I love that little crank organ at the start of the video, that's so cool!

[@aweeks007]

That was cool stuff! I'm grateful that you captured some glimpses for us. What a great experience it must have been!

[@Chrissychris88]

Again, such a well done video!!!!! Ahh! It’s so nice to see such an appreciation and respect for historical instruments!

[@OutfitCornwall]

Hey Tiffany - great sound on the Harpsichord! Really enjoying your vids - from a returning pianist - Ian :-)

26.04.2020: Ms. Poon, Tiffany, thank you very much for the musical voyage through the centuries. - Back to the Future. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

[@funtrain23]

Must be an incredible experience playing these instruments! They all sounded amazing!

[@yanniorfarresfernandez3706]

Gracias

[@MichaelKaykov]

So nice to hear you on all these beautiful instruments! 9:25 those sonorities are really unique.

[@thebadness6217]

man this is awesome. We get to hear music exactly as people from that era, 200 - 300 years ago, used to listen to it.

[@wedemeyerr]

I love harpsichord sounds... a harpsichord is like a time machine back to baroque!!!

[@DanielRieder00]

Thank you for showing us all of the museum keyboard instruments, so interesting!

[@anonymous.youtuber]

If these these instruments were capable of speech they’d say “thank you Tiffany” !

[@Ahldor]

5:03 some people are lucky enough to find a musical piece that suits their youtube video so well, but you just sit down and play it...

[@stdio44.32]

The fortepiano section was so great, I watched yesterday and was still thinking about it 🤣, it's incredible to see you bring these historical instruments back to life!

[@coralreef909]

J.S. BACH’S GOLDBERG VARIATIONS WERE COMPOSED FOR A HARPSICHORD WITH TWO MANUELS. MORE DIFFICULT TO PLAY ON THE MODERN PIANO WITH JUST A SINGLE MANUEL AS YOUR FINGERS SOMETIME COLLIDE IN PASSAGES WHERE BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT HANDS HAVE A COMMON NOTE THAT THEY NEED TO PLAY AT THE SAME TIME ESPECIALLY IF THE NOTE HAS ALREADY BEEN DEPRESSED AND SUSTAINED WHILE THE OTHER HAND IS PLAYING THAT SAME NOTE AS PART OF BUSY MOVING PASSAGE WORK OR SCALE. HAPPENS ALSO IN THE WELL TEMPERED CLAVIER AS WELL. MAKES MORE SENSE TO PERFORM THESE ON THE INSTRUMENT THEY WERE INTENDED FOR. ALSO THE ITALIAN CONCERTO WRITTEN FOR A HARPSICHORD WITH TWO MANUELS TO CONTRAST THE THE SOLO WITH THE TUTTI IN AN ACTUAL CONCERTO AND TO CONTRAST LOUD AND SOFT DYNAMICS. YOU HAVE TO TRY TO IMITATE THIS ON THE MODERN PIANO.

[@ceemorales3648]

Thanks for sharing this video❤️ I'm a fan of classical music now because of you. Keep striving😊

[@bvsiness]

Haydn and Mozart, even Beethoven Sonatas #1-7 are perfectly at home on a harpsichord.

[@OPianoeoMundo]

I live in Brazil and I saw one your videos and you were here in the country one time. Very cool yours trips´s videos. You are a great pianist! Congratulations!

[@PhilChavanne]

Wonderful experience to hear you play these historical masterpieces. I would love to listen to you playing the Musical Offering on a Silbermann piano forte. Thank you for sharing all your talent and musicality.

[@bereabeard]

LOVED this vlog, Tiffany!! Amazing instruments!!!

[@LisaRupingCheng]

So cool that you get to play period instruments!! I am looking for a harpsichord myself to play Bach!

[@ajadrew]

The sounds, the instruments & yourself make perfect vlogs, your radiance shone through again!

[@mwharwood]

Museums are so cool. Windows into the past. Loved your comment at the end about being in Vienna in the 1800s !❤️

[@worshiptogetherwt]

wow， thank you so much for bringing us with you in all the amazing explorations. Congratulations on your performance!!!

[@jmmarques1962]

Hi Tiffany , great that you could visit the museum and also could play in som old instruments . I have visited the museum twice , on the first time I attended a Concert with Tellemman compositions from harpsichord and flutes and at very end they told us that there was a surprise for for the audience, so we went into another room where they play Tellemman compositions with flutes and scores from the exhibition . So was really great. Thanks for the video. Maybe one day you could come to Portugal for a concert .

[@ittehgapsytterb]

Great video! I love watching Tiffany perform.

[@MyPianoArchives]

The notes at 9:21 give me chills, Beethoven sounds sooo good on that piano.

[@mottokittokatto]

Awesome!! Thank you for sharing the experience of all those precious historical instruments! Such an honor for you - and for us!! :D

[@tnoender]

Keep it up Tiffany, I can watch you all day that's how interesting you are

[@Laogeodritt]

Holy crap, you're so lucky! I would love to have gotten the chance to play a collection of historical instruments like this. Thanks for this little peek into the museum

[@_anotherlucas]

Wow, I love the part that you say “i’m a pianist first” 💕

[@helenmccauslin1215]

Delightful tour with you. So great to see and hear the instruments at the same time. Thanks 😊

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Thank you! (you figured out how to comment on KZbin 🤗)

[@helenmccauslin1215]

Tiffany Poon I did🤩

[@Rollinglenn]

So happy for you that you had access to these early instruments. I hope you will do more to share instruments like these! Most people have no idea what the great composers heard at their own instruments. PLEASE demonstrate more like these!

[@ornleifs]

Loved to hear those old instruments, the dulcitone was fabulous, would have liked to hear more from that instrument.

[@krollpeter]

I did not like the sound of the Stein Fortepiano. The one with the Cymbals build in though was pretty nice.

[@51Dss]

absolutely my favorite T Poon vlog! What a treat seeing you play those ancient pianos was. Made me wonder if you would ever consider putting together a recording/album where you play Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Hayden or others on pianos those composers would have used to compose and perform their pieces. Can't help believing such an album would be commercially successful for you.

[@Renshen1957]

Thank you for a wonderful tour of the instrument collection.

[@alexarroyopianist]

Love all your videos, Tiffany!

[@charliecook1697]

Thanks again so much for your impressions as a curious and accomplished pianist. You are playing instruments that are transitioning from the harpsichord to fortepianos. Playing instruments that composers heard is fascinating. These instruments you sampled show the beginning of the evolution of the modern piano. You’re fun and informative.

[@amedeofabris1268]

When I was 12 invited by maestro Tagliavini to one of the exhibitions he was holding at the San Colombano museum, wonderful experience I recommend go visiting the museum!!! although you will not be able to talk to maestro Tagliavini because he left us in 2017 unfortunately

[@abnormallyfunny]

Loved this. Would be great to see more playing on period instruments in future. Thanks

Amazing museum. You are very fortunate to have been allowed to play those instruments.

[@hongluzhang7771]

Beautiful as always. And i have always enjoyed listening to your uploads to relax my brain since discovered your channel.

[@ian757]

Amazing Tiffany! So nice to see you having a lovely experience. How lucky are you?!!? You’re right as well, you look like a giant playing some of these older instruments and it makes one admire the composers all the more that they could compose such masterpieces on relatively limited instruments. 👍

[@forappssw]

Hi Tiffany, I got to know you for just a week but I enjoy your videos on different angles of pianos and life of a pianist a lot! Keep striving and hope I will have a chance to listen to your live performance in Hong Kong!!

[@contrabandivory]

What a treat! Thank you, once again, for sharing what is most likely a once in a lifetime experiment. Ravel remarked that 1810 would have been his ideal time to live in, I suspect mostly for the fashion. From Maurice Ravel a life. Rockin’ red motorcycle jacket, and here’s to a smooth and stress free two concerts ahead.

[@RWBHere]

Fascinating! Thank-you.

[@tombufford136]

You look rather wealthy Tiffany with your collection of instruments to play with. Keep it up tiffany , Many people enjoying all of this !

[@christopherstube9473]

Dear Lady, you are young and chic and have a formidable repertoire and the historical instruments probably enjoyed you as much as you enjoyed them.

[@TheWFamilyMusic]

i am happy for you, you could play on those ancient instruments. this happens to be a very rare opportunity :-) nice vlog again, thanks for sharing.

If somebody else is wondering what they are doing in 04:19: It's part of a Pina Bausch Choreography (Look for Pina Bausch "Seasons"). Maybe Members of a Pina Bausch Workshop...?

[@evanofelipe]

It’s great that the Curator recognised your talents and allowed you to sit and play those wonderful old instruments in the Bologna collection, but it was also great that you included us by sharing your experience. Thank you. You are indeed ‘a pianist first’. I once went to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and marvelled at the few beautiful keyboard instruments on display, but ‘understandably’ they were ‘encased‘ behind glass and silent, their beauty thus diminished because they could not be heard. For a brief moment there the Curator had the ‘musical sense’ to permit you to bring them back to life.

[@houghwhite411]

At least curator knows she's not a troll, she's an actual pianist

[@evanofelipe]

@@houghwhite411 ..I agree and as we all know, not just 'any' pianist.

[@clamayaceo]

Absolutely found this vlog fascinating . The Q & A segment was fun listening to your answers to some interesting questions on travel tips but it was the segment on the period instruments that was most fascinating. I always enjoy listening to the different distinct sounds of instruments you are so fortunate to have access to.

[@DrSpeedNL]

Thank you!

[@EGchristian]

That Haydn piece sounds so touching on that instrument...

[@lindalin2550]

Wow! It's amazing, the day after the concert i was visiting Bologna too.. And i passed by where she vlogged. It 'd be wonderful if i could meet her again😱

[11/19/19] I forwarded the link to this vlog to my colleagues from the American Guild of Organists. One of them wrote me back that he will show it in his music appreciation class, and that he loves your playing. 👍👍👍

[@josefprinc2939]

You are like kid in candy shop I also know this feel when I was played on 300y old baroque organ for first time

[@jpdj2715]

Tiffany, it shows that you were in heaven. I once went to e Chopin performance by one of the greatest pianists in the world of the past 50 years. In a large hall. On a full size concert Steinway. Everything mf was played ff and so on. The intimacy was completely lost. Some time later, I went to another concert in the series. The famed pianist had reported ill and was now replaced by a stand in. Speed daemon. All the notes were perfect - not a single miss. But no soul. I actually prefer the sound of the Steinway over old instruments. Question: after you played these period instruments, do you play the same notes differently on the Steinway? (I would hope so ;) )

[@delukxy]

That was very enjoyable indeed, a bit of an ear opener. I'd like to see you given the opportunity to have 3 of these pianos, your choice, plus a harpsichord on a rotating stage, for a concert of matching period music. I think it would be a sell out. Certainly a full harpsichord concert should be on you wish list.

[@KatarinaGrobler]

Hahaha the bells & cymbals are perfect for Christmas!! 🎄🎅🏻

[@Karlinberlin1]

Beethoven sounds so cool on that 1810 Fritz. Those crashy bass chords.
