Lang Lang Piano Lesson

Following a Ravinia concert Lang Lang stuck around for a brief conversation with Ravinia President and CEO Welz Kauffman that turned into a public piano lesson.

He can make such a simple piece sound magical

I like Lang Lang not only because he plays the piano so beautifully but also he is positive, bright, and friendly. I wish he were my daughter's piano teacher.

[@sarahheger5612]

What exquisite controll of nuance! Bravo, Lang Lang. This piece is often the despair of pianists because it is so difficult to play it as it SHOULD be played.. You have showed us a way to come very close to the ideal. Thank you.

[@vivepopo]

I love the end, "but you are really good".

[@axm8376]

2:29 'No, this note' God that was freaking hilarious hahahah

[@perfectroad]

OMG, what an intense and sensitive feeling! No wonder Lang Lang stands out from the crowd to be the master! Bravo.

[@amyl.9637]

Lang Lang is the best pianist forever! I love this!

[@avtawf]

I feel so bad for the guy :( I can totally see him crying afterwards...

[@jhsung79]

Nah! That guy will be much better pianist from now on! Also, it's a fantastic free piano lesson!!

[@ygt9527]

real musician don’t bother by that. As langlang himself also lerning from others for his Bach concert

[@michellelockington7598]

Even though I totally find myself crying afterwards if I were the one playing, I totally find this as constructive for me. I believe, as musicians, we should be able to take criticism in maturely, improving whether it be on negative or positive feedback, or even both.

[@MrCrunchyCrunch]

Gave me goosebumps and new ways of listening out to particulars in music

[@EdChoongTF]

Its Awesome!! Maestro Lang Lang demonstrates full of emotions, passion, love, enthusiasm while playing the piano. Great Lesson from the Prodigy! Young ppl must learn.

[@duygubuyukcakir8412]

Seni ilk gördüğüm an Gülüşün öyle güzeldi ki Gözlerimi kapadım, hapsettim oraya Ezber ettim o anı, Unutmadım hiç Gözlerindeki o eşsiz ışıltılı bakışı Aylar gecti aradan, Ne çok karanlık günler.. Derken bir gün hiç beklemezken çıkageldin sen İnanamadım o gün gözlerime Saklayamadım sevincimi. Elimi ilk tuttuğundaki sıcaklığını Beni ilk öptüğünde kalbimin atışını Hepsini ezberledim Beni roman gibi okumanı, şarkı gibi dinlemeni, Tüm notalarıma tek tek basmanı sevdim Önce dünyaya, sonra dünyama iyi ki geldin

[@うさぎちゃんねる-m9w]

Wow such a beautiful lesson Thank you so much to show this

[@Zenblonde]

Love Lang Lang, thanks so much for posting. #interesting.

[@SacredMovementJM]

thank you for this considerate, intelligent response. i appreciate people like you.

[@NipochTzsil]

Best teacher alive !

[@OmluTerong]

Well white man is red when he feels embarrassed....yet Lang lang and him are sportsman.....beautiful lesson

[@elizabethwhite1894]

Wonderful Coils hear it again and again, also a very good lesson

[@Jarnagua]

That ending was sweet. Stay in the dream...

[@黄瓜-d6h]

god damn. that sound was magical!

[@robertmachtmusik]

true! a key to memorizing music fast is voicing the different "parts". After reading so much music it's not a surprise that he is somewhat of a "decent" singer.

[@barbbirdyard]

Such a great teacher.

[@bogarteyou]

Lang Lang is good in piano and in drama. Such a drama queen

[@jeanfrancoistobias5906]

Beny K. he is better as a drama queen. When does he start to sing?

[@leekewei4885]

I think this guy would never play in front of him again.. XD

[@andiadk]

Nice. Lang lang is a really good teacher. (:

[@CPoon06]

He is too good to be a teacher =D

[@jwd0808]

Music conveys emotion, and it crosses cultral/racial lines - it is truly the universal language. To suggest that an asian musician has any less feeling than a westerner is idiotic. He isn't 'copying' anyone - his interpretation is his own...

[@TheFreddyEduard]

Watch - Piano Lesson based on the music of pianist & composer Emily Bear

[@MrFungolfer]

He is fantastic!

[@DihelsonMendonca]

Lang lang only said what it had to be said. He´s right on every compass. People who can´t play this way, play the wrong way.

[@PierFrancescMicciche]

What's the piece? Thank you

[@busylifemeto]

Have you seen Tiffany Poon, she has been here before this little one, just absolutely amazing.

[@neoniahazelwood9263]

Lang Lang is GREAT!

[@jonifoni]

I was in the audience this was a couple of years ago

[@samcoduong357]

lang lang singing master classes :D !!

[@Terrantuladic]

I really enjoy how the internet meme of hatting lang lang has faded and the trolls have gone away.

[@DenizInanComposer]

I want him as my teacher, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kacksack0815]

Rober Schumann - Träumerei , from Kinderszenen

[@marianagauss94]

So good!

[@beibeimiao2327]

Beautiful

[@rileyhouston2463]

FEEL IT Most important thing he said

[@andybright2133]

So this video is for entertainment or education😂 omg i wish I could have a lesson with him he is such an interesting person and his music is so colorful and touching he played it simple but full of meanings wish him get well soon

[@Grayfox541]

Can anyone tell me what's the piece he's playing, please? I've heard it before, but I don't know right now... :-/

[@tridinh8217]

What is the name of this piece

[@fernandoserico77]

Minh Tri Đinh Lê Robert Schumann - Traumerei

[@tridinh8217]

Be Your Own Hero thanks

[@morningsuna610]

what is this piece called

[@shadowjuan2]

I don't really care of what you think about Lang Lang or who gave him his nickname, I just want you to answer my question. If he is Bang Bang, what are you?

[@SupremeChickenx]

amazing

[@mozartpiano23]

what song is that

[@TheFreddyEduard]

Emily Bear started her professional cariere also at the Ravinia stages at age 5 watch?v=ErOOCX-vWHc Piano Lessons about how makes Emily Bear her compositions watch?v=0fz1lQpMyAY

[@3xpo]

[@maritzaorpe71]

What is the name of the piece?

[@stevenwade3958]

What is the name of the song?

[@enockhassan668]

Lang Lang you r great!!!!!!

[@xfeeLin]

woohhooo good teacher^^

[@alexandermarca4305]

What piece ?

[@ferdinandmartin8345]

Ich verstehe Lang Lang's Interpretation völlig und kann sie gut nachvollziehen. Der Moderator spielt ja auch wirklich ohne jede musikalische Ader....

[@elishebeetmsp4467]

Ja man merkt es vollkommen das er ohne Leidenschaft spielt! Ich selber spiele Klavier, und ich koennte aus so einem einfachen Stueck nicht so etwas wunder volles machen!! :)

[@mokranearar6275]

well ... he never let the guy play the whole piece ?!

[@YYwb]

That is what piano class is about... You practise later.

[@DudeOfThePiano]

Its Traumeri from Schumanns kinderscenen

[@DihelsonMendonca]

I´m in dream till now............................

[@LunarWilderness457]

Such a pretty peice!

[@shadowjuan2]

Asian Pianists have proven to be as good or even better pianists than westerners, for a quick example let's take Yundi li, who won Chopin's International competition or Yuja Wang who's technical skill is on par with the greatest virtuosos of our times like Evgeny Kissin, Berezovsky or Volodos to name a few. And let's not forget about Mitsuko Uchida who is an exceptional interpreter of Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, debussy etc...

[@mikeborja1]

lol I'm just wondering if this was supposed to go like that, I mean did the other guy expected lang to take over the piano? or he thought lang would let him play the piece and be critic at the end? ha, it looked kinda akward.

[@abengyu112751]

oh lang lang the killer ... piano killer

[@lukediv]

best dude

[@shadowjuan2]

Dude, I don't know about you but if this guy is Bang Bang I don't know what you would think about Franz Liszt or Beethoven both of whom broke piano keys at concerts. I wish I had more Bang Bang bravura, I don't want my audience to fall asleep. Anyways said that, you still are uncapable of answering my question, which really dissapoints me, I consider this conversation over.

[@Jeremy_Yang]

Owned. =P

[@UnusualAesthetic]

wow, I thought Lang Lang played absolutely beautiful. Music teachers often sing, there is a lot to be expressed in vocalizing the music to your students, even if you "can't sing."

[@CNFrostXY]

@mikeborja1 lol that's how master classes run like... it's all like that... you just have to get used to it...

[@BarbaronaGianni]

... since when did Lang Lang become a music 'teacher'????

[@jincs2685]

랑랑 왤케 커엽냐 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@alexandermarca4305]

4 Peruvian guys will be playing next to him !

[@vincentq3118]

Are they still friends now lol?

[@rileyhouston2463]

Lang Lang Insane Beast, Eddie Brown Crazy Beast, Travis Sayles Just Beast, Cory Henry Young Beast, Butch Woodie Super Beast....

[@filipDim]

that guy turned red , XD , from anger or ..?

[@shadowjuan2]

You have reading problems?, let me ask again, if he is Bang Bang, then what are you?

[@FutureAbe]

hahah he was trying to get away, hahah!!

[@Danlovar]

Robert Schumann: Kinderszenen - Fantasie

[@andrew190495]

i think lang lang is a fairly decent singer for someone who doesnt have vocal coaching

[@Xcelerate2]

hahaha that's awesome!!

[@wolfelyang1983]

then your daughter has to be a princess.

[@MTran0708]

that guy went all red... like a tomato

[@her0esfan]

Wish he gave the guy more of a chance! lol!

[@chriszhang2820]

He seems to be quite uncomfortable sitting on the stool...

[@MusikPiratCH]

I really don't agree with Lang Lang's ideas of the "Träumerei" because it's no dreaming any more! Listen to Rubinstein IMHO even better than Horowitz or Kempff!

[@WilliamSlaght]

+MusikPiratCH Hoffman

[@MusikPiratCH]

+LinkBulletBill Don't know what you mean?

[@WilliamSlaght]

MusikPiratCH How about Josef Hoffman?

[@MusikPiratCH]

LinkBulletBill I don't find any recording of Josef Hofman of Schumann's "Träumerei" here on KZbin! I know however Hofman is called "the pianist of pianists" ... ;) Personally I really like Art(h)ur Rubinstein on "Träumerei" it's really dreaming! :D

[@CPoon06]

@perfectroad He is tooo pro. =D Makes him to become a horrible teacher!

[@busylifemeto]

I remember you, you were the Riddler in Batman ...yeah ? If you have not worked it out yet I refuse to play your silly game. Are you the Gestapo ?

[@AlfateS]

traumerei by schumann

[@pengchengwu447]

He obviously took the seat by some martial arts.

[@crabmasterdeluxe]

look how red that guy's face gets..

[@nicopetut]

@VSKCREW HAHAHAHA! :))

[@abengyu112751]

yes ... but he can TUNE .... the master TUNER's

[@enockhassan668]

is this inborn talent?

[@jwd0808]

Then you need to clean your ears... If he really sounded 'very bad', he would not be one the most celebrated musicians for our time. He makes millions playing sold out concerts all over the world.

[@busylifemeto]

Dont be too quick to down asians, Yundi, Yuja and have you seen young Tiffay Poon, if not you should, amazing. Apart from that I agree with you on Bang bang

[@shadowjuan2]

If he is Bang Bang, I wonder what you are...

[@busylifemeto]

I could not agree more. He is capeable but often murders a piece and always a circus clown.

[@123UncleRuckus]

Bang Bang would be a hilarious teacher to learn from.

[@golden-63]

I think it's wonderful that Lang Lang is giving lessons on how NOT to play the piano.

[@DudeOfThePiano]

Traumerei sorry couldn't spell for a moment then

[@busylifemeto]

This chap is making a better job of Schuman's Traumerei than Bang Bang lol
