[@lucdanic5355]

Eh not really true. Like lang lang said, anybody can play the piano. I really believe that if you have the right will and you practice enough you can play a piece that you want, at any age over 3. Playing with passion is different though, and personally I don’t know if one can develop it through practice, it’ll probably just come to them.

Lang Lang is correct. When you play music, you must not lock yourself in a dark room. Open up. Your main focus should be the song, not the keyboard. Improvise the melody to resemble various events in life; like breathing, getting angry, and etc. Also, when playing masterclass, slow down dammit.

[@alemutasa6189]

The way he explains the importance of a non-metronomic music experience is absolutely killer. Not a convoluted and empty description to describe rythm and accents and feeling, just play the part in two different ways, with an example: if music could be thaught, explained and experienced in our native languages there wouldn't be a need for music.

Respect for the Kid, Double nervous playing for so many people and Lang Lang criticizing the playing style. To be focussed in making no mistake and playing the right notes makes the pianist seem to be emotionless, but the training showed to be a good deal for the kid.

well, playing exactly the way it is written is the way to go because the way it is written with the original nuances makes it full of emotion. but this is what is hard to achieve

[@jesusros5047]

music has dynamics written into , the issue here is that the piece is so difficult all the focus is going towards accuracy and tempo. this person likely learned this piece without focusing on the dynamics at all which is a very common thing.

[@MysticalGB]

@@jesusros5047 True. I find with a new piece once i memorise it i will just mess around with the tempo and dynamics and try to make it sound unique and that will be my own way to play it. its not conventional but i don't perform anymore so i will do what i want too xD

[@jessewang_xj]

People criticising the kid for 'playing without emotion' or 'playing too quickly' need to shut up and grow a pair of ears. Do you even know what tempo the Fantaisie-Impromptu is supposed to be played at? The playing in the middle section is expressive and the rubato employed is tasteful, not to mention the good voicing of the melody. It's not a perfect interpretation by any means but if it were an adult playing, you lot wouldn't be making these kind of uninformed comments, they just make you (the commenter!) look stupid.

[@ggwhynot452]

I think you're a bit misinformed and were trying to vent your anger at the time. The Fantasie Impromptu itself is not supposed to be played at such a fast speed, in fact when chopin composed it, he intended for the focus to be placed on the emotion, not the speed. While I acknowledge that the child is very good for her age, there is no denying the lack of emotion in her playing and failure to express her feelings sufficiently, so perhaps you should be the one doing some self reflection here on your true knowledge on this piece, which must be close to 0 in order to make such an insanely stupid, idiotic and misinformed comment.

[@jessewang_xj]

​@@ggwhynot452 Hilarious you say that; I've played the piece myself. I have a recording up on my channel, if you'd like to listen. It's not perfect by any means, and I wouldn't say I've played it much better than the kid has here. Have you listened to the tempo of, say, Rubinstein's or Yundi Li's recording of it? The kid isn't perfect of course. He's a developing musician, and the dynamic shaping could be improved. But there is clearly evidence of attention to musical detail - you can hear the accents shifting from the thumb to the pinky in the B section of the fast part, for example.

[@ggwhynot452]

@@jessewang_xj I have also played the piece myself; the point that I am trying to make is that the kid should not be so sacrilegious, as quoted from TwoSetViolin. Sorry as I came across as offensive. P.S. I performed it in 2016.

[@利威爾阿克曼]

This maybe a most important affect for the kid’s life .You are not serious enough to watch,Langland has also talked about the skills of playing piano. Pointing to your wrong things can benefit you.If the kid wants to be a professional pianist, he needs to know these things earlier. Maybe later when his skills are very fantastic, and no one point out the lack of emotion, then his piano way maybe not successful or more difficult.In addition,skills are linked by emotion.

Qualquer um pode tocar piano, mas nem todos conseguem atingir o coração. "Lang Lang "

[@JWL100]

when i was a kid in piano lessons, i had no clue what the teachers meant about the colour dynamic changes lang lang is stressing. even lang lang said that he was only taught techniques as a kid

[@nadeemlo]

"You really need to you know make those sound happening" Deep.

[@shantanlu847]

I've never seen Lang Lang playing Chopin Fantasias Impromptu in C sharp minor, fully presented.

*YoU kNoW*

[@Amelia-s]

Lang Lang is a great teacher.

[@Xengrii]

I think if I had a masterclass with Lang Lang he would run out of patience and slap me because of my very limited playing skills xd :p However, I do play with emotion, at least that’s what I think I do

[@rosemariemann1719]

Not trying to be a " smarty-pants", but Lang Lang said what I was thinking as the 1st youngster played. Invaluable advice , to make the music " sing" , with " light and shade". Fascinating. 😊💕🇬🇧⭐💕😊

[@QuicknStraight]

He's so right. The music has an ebb and flow and the pianist needs to create that feeling of the ebb and flow, not just play it technically perfectly.

[@Oliverj-ne6iw]

Imagine the pressure as a child as well performing that infront of lang lang ain’t no way I could ever do that knowing he’s there watching 😂😂

[@jackstremlow3725]

Lang Lang: Tells the kid to play differently The kid: Does the exact same thing 5 times

[@sirinp11]

He needs to understand it first...

[@christo4982]

you are not listening....

[@porple4430]

imagine being critiqued by a world renowned pianist while also being watched by an audience

[@solareclipsedudefinale9026]

There was better contrast when they played forte to piano, so I think there was improvement

[@arianezhad6033]

Reading comment gives the impression everyone is damn piano player. The girl is fantastic. She is only 12 and needs some fine tuning. I also love the way Lang Lang is passionate about what he wants to say. I think there is a little bit of language barrier here. Sometime he cannot find the best word to describe what he wants to say and uses body language to compensate. Those parts of his brain responsible for music works way faster than the parts controls his speaking.

I play violin but this video got me hooked

[@wonghow]

Skill is not enough. It is the beginning. Play an instrument is to play the music. To make the music happen with the skill. When I was a beginner, my teacher was teaching me the music. This 12 year old has this level of skill but still don't have the feel of music.

[@randydayl]

That kid will remember this for a very Lang Lang time..

[@artwatch-y9j]

Well said, Lang Lang❤

[@masonwillis1582]

She started as a robot. But progressed quite well with one lesson

[@mysto5107]

Whats wrong with people in comments just because he doesnt fell the emotion in this piece doesn’t mean hes emotionless. Probably the piece isnt for him, but no body is emotionless we all feel something in the type of music we like

[@elijaguy]

A very amazing Lang Lang... 13:44, chopin didnt call it fantasie. Fontana did, for the marketing. However "where is the fantasie" is a spot on expression. BTW in the manuscript, 18:33 no forte. Chopin's MS is very interesting, E.g., 19:20 is the first "forte", holding all the way to bar 25, and BTW in bar 25 it says a tempo, but not piano, so you can wonder, did chopin intend the second time to be in forte? I dont think so, because of the very long poco a poco cresc in bars 19-33, to forte. For this you must begin in piano, or? Also in 19:20, 3 little diminuendos every half bar, as in 23, a sigh motive, in all respects. About left hand in section A (19:33) From bar 5, a prominent melody in the left hand thumb, suggesting that the right hand is in his part an ornamentation of this simple beautiful high tenor melody. Nice edition in IMSLP Josef Friedrich edition. Or if you find the Koenemann edition, preludes and impromptus, 1997, Koeln-Budapest, now out of print.

[@beeps123]

That was fantastic. It is not easy to teach like this. I know. Because I teach in similar style. One needs to be grown up to understand this concept of feel and flow. I had master lessons in the past and I only understand this now.

[@batboy5023]

LOL The ringtone comment was spot on!
