Tiffany Poon - Mendelssohn Rondo Capriccioso

[@xdia19xdiamondgirl19]

You are the reason why I returned to piano just a few days ago. I love your inspiration, thank you Tiffany

[@erezsolomon3838]

how is it going? what pieces are you learning?

[@myrtoepapakonstantinou1707]

How is it going? 🥺

[@Jabafish]

I love this piece! Mendelssohn is such a good composer, some people say he was underrated and still is but he was quiet famous in his time. This piece proves it

[@hahiZY]

I have been listening this for 20 times already, it sounds so fun when you play it.

[@zhonghuiwu8394]

the transition of the sound at 3:09 is just amazing

[@santiagocaldeira7555]

She probably used the una corda pedal

[@juanxu1047]

@@santiagocaldeira7555 It's called the soft pedal, and no she did not, the keyboard did not shift

[@santiagocaldeira7555]

@@juanxu1047 never heard it be called "soft pedal", the italian term and most used is "una corda" because what it does is literally move the keys to the right so the hammers only hit one string.

You always get all the nuances perfectly played. And by that you are in the absolute top elite and a rare artist. A real pleasure listening to

[@poulx]

This match of piano, composer and performer is perfect... It sounds s o incredibly good. The piano and the piece must be married to each other by now. I wouldn't be surprised if Mendelssohn himself came by in a dream and thanked Tiffany Poon for bringing them together. T h a t recording is pure harmony.

[@steveneardley7541]

I have never heard Mendelssohn played with such a beautiful touch. It adds a completely different dimension to the music.

[@ananthd4797]

Coming back here for the millionth time, I have to say this is absolutely brilliant! :)

[@xavierignatiuscordeiro8336]

I’m learning this, and the difference in sound between a professional and me is just incredible. I don’t know how you manage to balance the melody so well, and your phrasing is amazing. Maybe after a few more months I’ll be able to play somewhere near this level.

[@matthewclarke5008]

She does it with her ear. And I think sustain pedal.

[@princessleora9899]

Her brain is shooting fireworks (neurons firing at top speed) ! Musicians have the coolest brains.

[@olivergaag]

A million times yes! One of my favorite pieces and you bring such a very special touch to it. Okay, back to practice!

[@lem_sunny]

I’ve never cried to a music before. I played this piece for a concert when I was 11- then in high school,I fell out of playing because I felt it was like a chore. Fast forward several years, I’m 20 and trying to get back into it. Your interpretation brings much so many memories, and reminds me of that soaring sensation, which I came to miss so much. My fingers are totally rusty after the years, but Ill keep trying!!!

[@stefanpauli803]

You must absolutly continue your pianoplaying - it will give you so much joy and satisfaction for your life -I know - . I was very touched by reading your words. You MUST continue. / stefan pauli

[@sohamprasad6696]

I don't understand why she isn't as famous as Lang Lang or Yuja Wang? This is world-class stuff, and her quality far surpasses her renown. I guess she's still a young pianist and has a lot of time.

[@anb.1053]

I love how you feeling each and one of the notes! I just finished the peace and I'M OBSESSED WITH IT

[@18mg43ad]

I never heard this peace before, and your playing looks so effortless! I fell in love with this immediately. I don't know what it's about you, but there are so many other good pianists, therefore, to be fair, I cannot say that you are the one who plays best or anything like that. But what I can say is that from all of the pianists I know you are the one whoms interpretation I like the most and where I say "I would play it like that, too" (if I could play that good). It just comes naturally out of you and I really hear that you express your feeling through the piano. And besides that you are just a wonderful person! Thank you for uploading this video, it really made my day.

[@sandorbalazs3641]

I rarely listen to classical music. But it's an immersive performance, and amazing music, that can't be stopped. I loved it.

[@contrabombarde3210]

Hi Tiffany, it is a further great Video. I love your playing soooo much, because you play wirh a lot of feeling and passion. All the best of you, god bless you. Alex.

Hello! My name is Grace and I just stumbled upon your channel. I am so enthralled by your playing. I love your tone. You make the piano sparkle! Keep it up! I going to now binge watch all of your videos haha

[@cricket62200962]

You really are my favorite pianist alive I'm a guy, and I feel really rough around the edges, I play alright, but when you play, its just unreal. You make it all look so effortless, and you look so graceful and precise. I hate that about myself. I want to seem as comfortable as you. :)

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Just to clarify, I never played 14 hours a day, even when I was a kid. This is actually how much I play per day: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3XQZ6qLh7qcbqc

Don't hate that about yourself. Nothing effortless is actually effortless.

Lovely in every way, dear girl Almost a lovey as you. I apprecite so much the "fairy tightness" you achieve in the Rondo Capriciosso -- and the power you hold in reserve till it's honestly appropriate to display.

Fantastic! 4:26 absolute magic. I played this piece as a youngster...of course, I use that term loosely because your skills are in a different universe than mine. I grew up listening to Julius Katchen's recording which is about as expressive as anyone can get on a prestissimo piece like this. Your performance brought back a lot of memories. Thank you!

[@diogomori9624]
