When he reached over the student seated at piano and he played example of what he was trying to get the student to do....you would have thought someone SWITCHED the instrument.

The score is like paint. What the musician does with the paint is up to him. Some critics just like paint by numbers. Too bad, because they have no clue what the original painting looked like anyway.

I love Lang Lang’s facial expressions in this piece! It made me smile and got me excited to continue practicing this piece! That’s why he’s my favorite pianist!

[@Peechiness]

Lang Lang makes these expressions since he was a kid. Even when he was the student in Master classes taught by Barenboim, he made those same expressions but in the master class that you don't see in his professional adult career is not just the facial expression but also the breathing he does to be in the moment to expresses the way he plays. As Two Set Violin says, he conducts himself.

He just plays great excellent .. I love him. I hope someday I will have the opportunity to see him live.

[@pianosenzanima1]

I've seen him live at a private concert and my piano teacher who is an accomplished concert pianist was biting chairs. LL is a musical genius in his own league, above being a tremendous virtuoso.

[@nicolereding7234]

He is walking with the notes, dazzling,and rubato, wonderful 🌞🌺🌸👏

[@richardvolpe7664]

To nicolefeding: Yep, here it is yet again, folks: "Rubato." Will it never stop?

랑랑이 너무 해맑게 연주하니까 뭔가 슬퍼요....ㅠ 나이가 차도 저렇게 사람이 순수해 보일 수 있다니.... 연주하면서 본인도 춤추고 싶은가봐요ㅎㅎㅎ 참 멋진사람....ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 랑랑 최고야 ㅠㅠㅠ

[@innerfire2399]

From 1:24 If you have played this piece, you will notice he played an octave lower slowly (left hand) to create a darker and deeper sound. And then he moved higher/faster/higher to create a brighter and louder feel, what a beautiful way of playing! Sorry my english not so good.

[@I_am_FRANCO]

how to control volume? by clicking lightly on the key?

[@zwakelemgabhi]

I believe the criticism against this guy has more to do with racism than anything else. He is a brilliant pianist

[@ketexon1815]

@@AlfieTheProducer Nice constructive comment

[@nifwhite2040]

Zwakele Mgabhi it’s nothing to do with racism dipshit, people just don’t like how he plays a lot of pieces as a showman and not with any emotion. This one is actually one of the rare ones I like of his. Nothing to do with race.🤦🏽‍♂️

[@KirbyBirb]

@@nifwhite2040 no reason to be toxic... If he wants to play like a showman, then let him be? That's how he wants to play. If you would have to play every piece in a specific way, where tell me WHERE lays the creativity? He shows alternative ways to interpret those pieces, his interpretation! And he shows what it menas to HIM not to the componist.

[@nifwhite2040]

Gonson 1) I literally complemented Lang Lang in my comment 2)idc that he plays like a showman, my problem is there’s no emotion, what’s a piece w no emotion? 3) I also don’t mind a lot of Lang Lang’s playing Next time, just don’t comment :) have a good day!

MEOW MEOWNIST whoever is able to read has an advantage: read the OP’s statement again and think what it means. But judging by the language you are using, thinking isn’t really your strength.

[@MEOWNIST]

@@radiumdude welp atleast he doesnt convince you to believe langlang is the best one, maybe he already heard many pianist and still thinking lang2 is better, duuuh!

MEOW MEOWNIST oh man... one of those conversations again. I don’t know what OP had in mind, neither did I try to convince anybody for anything. On the spirit of my post: Perhaps OP could take it to explore others, as I disagree with his statement. But neither did I wanted to be that rude... anyways: it doesn’t matter.

His interpretations are always unique, make you wonder, and sometimes question. It’s hard to dance to this tempo, but it was exciting and I liked it.😊

Nachdem ich das Video von Grzegorz Niemczuk über Chopin E-Flat Op. 18 erklärt bekommen habe, mit den Trompeten-Kindern , die da die Romanze eines Paares stören, und sie die Kinder dann jagen und die Kinder wegrennen, fand ich das Stück irgendwie herrlich. Auch später wie eine Frau den Mann zu Tanzen auffordert und er immer nur Stramm die gleiche Antwort gibt und sie sich immer mehr bemüht, immer feiner zu sein. Das war großartig. Ich fand die Vorstellungskraft von Grzegorz Niemczuk, wie er die einzelnen Passagen sieht, interessant. Da auch zwischendurch "Müll" Melodien vorkommen, wie er es erklärt und gespielt hat, und besonders am Ende, wurde ich neugierig und wollte wissen, wie Lang Lang diese Melodie spielen würde. Und ich fand Grzegorz Niemczuk schon schnell. Aber das ist kein Vergleich zu Lang Lang. Man kann bei Lang Lang wirklich Qualität heraushören, Lang Lang ist schon unglaublich schnell und gut.
