So elegant and beautiful Chelsea! Proud of you. How many sopranos could also be world-class pianists?

[@JeremyTaylorPianoProgress]

Wow, “Black Keys” was flawless. Superb tempo, and crystal clear.

[@anza9464]

czarne klawisze są łatwiejsze do grania, białe częściej powodują wpadki

[@rfrancisfawkes105]

Beautiful and subtle. She got all of the gradations from the pianissimos to the fortissimos. The "Black Key" etude was fast but expressive.

[@newcenturypianists3195]

Et j'adore aussi la Barcarolle Op. 60; c'est là où cette jeune femme nous montre sa sensibilité sans précédent! Je l'ai déjà entendu l'année dernière dans le concours de Chopin à Miami, mais une année plus tard, elle joue beaucoup mieux! Ce n'est pas juste une merveilleuse pianiste, mais une vraie artiste! Sa poésie, sensibilité, élégance naturelle, c'est juste à mourir! Géniale! J'espère qu'elle va passer au second tour!

[@newcenturypianists3195]

Cette performance, c'est juste magique! J'aime particulièrement l'étude Op. 10 #5, géniale! Cette jeune femme est tellement poétique et comprehend la musique très bien!

[@herveverbaert254]

bien d'accord avec vous, c'est magique, très belle prestation! Le PSG est magique aussi en théorie ("Paris est magique") mais étant donné son prénom, elle devrait jouer pour l'équipe féminine de Chelsea plutôt que du PSG... Bill Clinton a aussi appelé sa fille "Chelsea" tellement qu'il était fan du club londonien et regardait tous leurs matchs lorsqu'il était aux études en Angleterre... Il serait intéressant de savoir pourquoi les parents de cette merveilleuse pianiste l'ont appelé Chelsea... Belle soirée :D

[@teunvandesteeg7836]

I could not imagine how somebody else could play it better...this is superb...That is why I don't belief in competition...

[@borahkang7679]

Such a magic! How in the world that she can do such a beautiful trills with 4-5 finger number in Barcarole Op.60

[@carociria]

Dear Chelsea, I’m very proud of you! You are and will be and great artist ! I miss you since Nice! A big hug Chelsea!

[@carterjohnsonpiano]

Very, very sensitive. Gorgeous.

[@MNKorsak]

Beautiful

[@HammieHamster]

Congrats Chelsea!!!! We're praying for you!

[@nickk8416]

Beautifully played!

[@keithyeung9097]

This one is almost perfect ->Etude in G flat major, Op. 10 No. 5

[@Charles-pm4so]

The barcarolle is super cool !

[@cecik5578]

I enjoyed this a lot, such a classy looking lady.

[@hangsu960]

非常优秀的年轻的钢琴家，非常impressive performance。她不能进入第二轮是肖邦比赛的错。 一个优秀的音乐人才，同时是soprano，也是pianist，这种乐句的呼吸，行云流水，非常棒。

[@d0llygurl]

I agree :(

[@fulviojommelli6193]

A risk-free program doesn't accept mistakes.

[@timmyrossen7488]

I think the tempo is too fast in the middle part of op25 #5

[@abrahamcruz6795]

Keep in mind this is from Memory.

[@timmyrossen7488]

@@abrahamcruz6795 nothing is wrong with that. I just prefer that part to be romantic, a little slower. Just personal preference

[@abrahamcruz6795]

@@timmyrossen7488 Thats an interesting Concept. Romantic can be slow or fast, really depends on the emphasis and movement in how its played. I respect your opinion

[@IVPATXX]

wow

[@LouisEmery]

how come her given name is a place name?

[@bludika]

why was eliminated so early? her playing is great

[@mmelloe]

isnt she a singer? i didnt know she was also such a skilled pianist to make it to the chopin competition

[@solonchristine]

Yes, she's a soprano.

[@cobhiro]

こちらの方もCDデビューしとるのね

[@krazdomino4882]

There is not single one note that is not music!

[@anza9464]

straight fingers, not elegant

[@johnz4607]

everybody's hands are different,so please focus on music.

[@thai-pc4jy]

So? As long as the quality of the music is good, the method of technique does not matter.

[@carterjohnsonpiano]

…..lmao

[@rfrancisfawkes105]

Everybody has different hands. Did you see the way Horowitz holds his hands.

[@borahkang7679]

I have very small hands and straight fingers and I am also a pianist. 🎹🎵
