Why do you embarrass yourself with such a ratty, sketchy display of lightweight ineptitude when you have a world-class set of fingers and a prodigious memory? What is the POINT of making a holy show of an obviously UNFINISHED Productr? The only really good thing about this display is your scale passages which are absolutely marvelous, but the rest sounds like sight reading -- very GOOD sign reading --, but sight reading neverthemes. I don't find compulsive exhibitii]nism either unteresting or endearing. You have a great talent, but please stop trumpeting your weak points in an endless seris of informal videos when all WE want to hear is your finished products many of which are absolutely FIRST RATE. I see no legitimate point in showing yourself at a DISADVANAGE every chance you get -- or so it seems. You are probably damagi[ng your career.

[@geraldromanow4576]

Franco Aragosta Hey, Franco, don’t hold back for the sake of politeness. Tell us how you really feel! “All WE want to hear is your finished products...”. Who is the “WE”? The thousands of people who follow her progress? It takes a pompous ass to assume that what you want is what everyone else wants. Becoming a world-class musician is a process. Publishing her practice sessions - warts and all - takes guts and a whole lot of honesty and humility. To be able to see how she achieves the “finished product” is both interesting and instructive. And by the way, there are at least five errors of spelling and typing in your post. Why do you post without proofreading and correcting? “Sign reading”? “Productr”? “Disadvanage”? We want to see only the final product! Tsk Tsk!

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

I appreciate your passionate comment - I'm sure many in the traditional classical music field share your views. I am humanizing my career - the expectation that only "finished products" should be public in classical music is unrealistic and thus dehumanizing. Whether I am damaging my career... time will tell, but in the meantime, I'm very grateful for every single one who has been supporting my process. If you want to hear finished products, here's a playlist of recordings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2SqhJqMeZqHatU

These kind of videos (study sessions, sight reading, studying tips, dailys...) are what classical music needs in order to make it more real. I'm also a classical pianist and I find very useful and interesting seeing how top pianists (as you) prepare their recitals. For my students you're also a great icon because you're getting closer to their language. Thank you so much for this Tiffany!

As a random subscriber (who happens to love Chopin), I really enjoyed this. Despite not being a perfect run, I think this was a bigger show of talent than playing it properly post rehearsal lol. Good lord, how the heck do you sight read that piece? Still, acknowledging that impressing us wasn’t entirely the point, I’m really looking forward to your video pointing out the tricky parts of the piece. I think you just have to remember that very many of us will never have the privilege of playing such a difficult piece, and so these insights are impossible to come by any other way. Thanks for sharing Tiffany!

[@jameswieser483]

Sounded great for a practice session. I like use of an iPad for your sheet music. You change pages very quickly. And I still like the sound of that “90 year old” piano. I think after you practice on it for a week it will sound even better.

[@lifeontheledgerlines8394]

Yeah, iPads are great (or tablets, or the like). You can also get pedals for them to change pages without having to turn with your hands at all, which is very useful for gigs.

[@dimitridemetriades2637]

I think most of us do like a glimpse behind the Scenes, especially with the very talented like you . I have always been enjoying rehearsals very much , and being a musician myself , I think that it is the journey that matters , at least as well as the finished piece … Finished piece ? Is anything in Music ever really finished ? Let me quote a wise old conductor who said : the road to perfection is a road without an end , for the end would be mediocrity ( end of Quote ). I enjoyed this Video , and , having read through this Polonaise a couple of times myself , I loved to see how your Hand Memory was there in most spots , after that Long time . I wish you a lively and productive practicing of all the Singapore program , Keep me and the others who will not be able to be there , posted ! :)

I played this a lot 10 years ago. I memorized the first two page (almost) in my yellow Schirmer book. When I play those octaves my arms start to hurt. I just taught myself this tune. I didn't have a teacher, just played what I saw on the printed page and listened to some lp record I had. This was before youtube. I saw Vladimir Horowitz on t.v. play this in 1986. I also saw Arthur Rubenstein play this on t.v.

[@gabriel1chan]

What almost killed classical music is the untouchables. Everything has to be perfect. Perfection does not come easily. I once saw you practicing a serious of chords and you said this has highlighted this note, or no that note is missing. Then I realized that the amount of work and dedication you put into just a few chords is so touching that I subscribed and followed you ever since. Great blog which bring more human touch to the untouchable.

This is logical statistics, the rest 2% can just dive into your “finished products”.😏

Tiffany, well said! That was an impressive, measured, professional, polite response to a very rude series of ridiculous comments. I’m very proud of your comments and admire you even more for it! ”Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it”. You have a big heart and a beautiful soul. Abusers have withered hearts and tormented souls. They are to be pitied, poor miserable wretches. What you are so wonderfully sharing with the online world takes courage. Online verbal abuse disguised as critique comes from cowards. There will always be failures who love to try and tear down those who are successfully pursuing their passions. “I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet”. So don’t give another thought to what Marco-Arco-whatever said. He certainly doesn’t speak for me. I love your vlogs! You are a strong, intelligent, talented, successful artist. Bravissimo!

I'm amazed that it's possible to play quite so smoothly and expressively a piece which you were basically sight-reading. I roughly know how the piece goes -- as far as it's possible for a total non-musician -- and it was real treat to see it slightly deconstructed through an occasional slow-down or a slip-up in the course of practice. It gives one a chance to see better how it's constructed. Awesome video!

[@chrisk8187]

Just a point of credibility for you to consider when talking about music with anyone who has a "classical" music background, (NOT mandatory). Songs are "sung" (vocally), music performed by instruments are generally called "pieces, works, compositions" or by the musical "form or format", such a "sonata, duet (2), trio (3), quartet (4) and so on. There are variations to this nomenclature. Just like in sports, a tennis "paddle" (racket), baseball "stick" (bat) etc. there are common usage conventions.

I'm a recent fan and I really enjoy your video offerings. It's MUCH more interesting to see the process a concert professional goes through to prepare for performance. Your willingness to share your efforts with such matter of fact candor is SO refreshing and inclusive. It feels as if you are talking to a friend! It makes one feel invested in your success and be invited to share the results. It's so much FUN for me! PLEASE don't change anything. You're a delight and I'll be "rooting" for you. I've commented recently about my musical background that gives me a in depth perspective to be able to better appreciate what you do. My mom, a choral and piano major at Northwestern University as well as my brother-in-law a doctoral graduate on cello at the same school and member of the Denver Symphony Orchestra. My sister, a harp graduate of the Eastman School of Music and harp faculty at the Denver University etc. And my modest forty years of clarinet/sax studio career and twenty five years singing in the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Chorus. One LAST (honest!) experience. I heard Van Cliburn perform in Milwaukee in 1964 when I was in high school. Many of my piano teacher's studio students went. It was a BIG deal! He was amazingly famous in America having won the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in 1958. My major concert attendance claim to fame! How exciting for you!!!

Much better than how I'd do with this Polonaise, but I gave up on performing classical compositions, even my own :'( due to I being diagnosed with MS, but I still play jazz as best as I presently can, but Chopin personally was my favorite composer, or at least the one where I personally learned the most from (being harmonically and melodic co-existence "mathematics" kinda). I adored this video. Showing people the struggle regardless of your level that you KNOW you're at. There's no need for embarrassment as no one's perfect, so why lie in presenting yourself as so, and why go for becoming the ultimate perfect PERFECTIONIST anyway? Especially when you can show the voyage, the struggle, and truth behind every step to people who may be find this cute, or get touched by it, or perhaps aid people into understanding that it's even a struggle for you and maybe they start becoming confident enough to get up on stage and play or to pick up and learn an instrument, who knows? Every piece I've learn was always a struggle, and yes we all know the challenging ones, and variant ones that do exist as there are quite many things to be good at at the piano.We all have our weaknesses and our strengths basically, but all struggle regardless.

[@KentYTsang]

This is one of the most perfect performances I have heard of this piece. Thank you for publishing a fresh revisit after many years' hiatus. Surely that brings a fresh talent to the performance 😃. Moreover, I want to hear more from old pianos! By theory, since these pieces were composed for old pianos, the combination is easier to play and sounds more natural. Choices of interpretation that would be difficult and insightful on a modern piano become facile and intuitive on a period piano. It may not be the exact period or model, and many factors may be subverting the authenticity, but at least the keys are lighter and softer, which enables a ferocity of stroke that would be inordinate on a modern piano. Too bad no one is manufacturing lightweight pianos anymore, am I right? Finally, if I may leave you with a suggestion to experiment with greater volatility of tempo, not because I think your interpretation lacks anything, but because I believe music was once grittier and messier than history currently imagines. Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Impressive sight reading and, after six years, excellent pianistic memory. Most importantly very promising for your performance of this ”heroic” polonaise.
