He played the Schumann Fantasy in C and the Alkan Concerto for Solo Piano with his own After Pergolesi for an encore.

I told them...you cant find any cadenza from YUJA WANG for this piece or any piece. Why? cos she doesnt know how to compose. She plays note for note everything that is written and memorise them. Even the TOM & JERRY jazz piece arrangement she played was composed by Hiromi Uehara...note for note. Cant put her in the same level as the great Hamelin. Hamelin is way more talented by a big margin. The only time you can consider putting her at the same level as HAMELIN is if she can compose a stunning Cadenza like what you hear Hamelin did here.
