"hope you weren't disappointed" GIRL WHAT. I LOVED IT. ALL OF IT.

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

THANK YOU

[@lukejones7842]

That sound engineer was sooo nice comforting you😃

[@lukejones7842]

Thinking we are "not good enough" something all musicians deal with. Because of this thought I have been pushing myself to practice even when I shouldn't be (sometimes more than 6 hours a day all year) even when I'm not motivated to do so. Long story short I'm taking a mini (sabaticle if you would call it that) and I would urge other music students to do that too. No excuses I'm at a music conservitoire too🎹.

I didn’t even know you can get that nervous Tiffany! But you’ve done it so great! Thank you for showing the real “human” side of what it means to play a concert like that!

[@R.and.R.]

You and Tiffany are amazing!

[@Tristan-zt8tw]

Hey Anna !

[@kingme1034]

The way you play + the way you’re slowly building a loyal fanbase makes me think think that in about 20 years you will be considered one of the greatest pianists that has ever lived. Rooting for you Tiffany.

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Aww...I try 🥰💪

[@ExecutionSommaire]

There are interviews of Jain Kim, multiple time world champion in sport climbing, where she talks about managing the pressure. She says she learnt to focus on having a great time rather than winning.

[@cartaphilus-san2789]

It's normal to nervous. but i will never disppointed to you. in fact im so proud to u

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

thank you 🥺

[@nicola8600]

To me, you are a kind of wonder woman: playing an outstanding concert like you did, so brillant and full of emotions! And at the same time filming footage for your vlogs, while trying to keep your nerves calm. I have no clue how you manage to handle everything at the same time, but I want to express my deepest respect and thankfulness for letting us take part in your journey like you do! So sorry for you having to read negative comments! Don't let them enter your heart, there was nothing you could have done about it and you shouldn't have to worry about tech issues! To me, watching and hearing you play was the highlight of the week- watching it on a big screen via beamer! You seemed to enjoy yourself so much - the stage is your place to be! Congrats from Germany!

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Dankeschön 🥺❤️🙏🥰

[@synskrim9173]

I just recently discovered your channel, and I unfortunately couldn’t make the concert due to an intense week of finals. But since discovering your channel, you have inspired me more than any other pianist I’ve ever listened to. Even simply watching your videos and seeing how confident you sound in general has GREATLY impacted my own confidence. You remind me to be confident in my myself as a musician and I’ve been noticing that I’m less critical in a negative way and more so in a positive way if that makes sense. You’ve changed the way I practice and view my music, It’s hard for me to explain but you’ve seriously been a huge help. I’ve always been extremely self conscious about my playing, always telling people I’m bad and truly thinking that myself. But you just radiate confidence and passion while you’re playing and it’s incredibly inspiring. We all go through ups and downs and are critical about our performances, so don’t feel bad, we totally understand. I think you sound just beautiful, keep doing what you’re doing, it means a lot to me and I’m sure so many other people. Love from the West Coast ❤️

[@robertgrey5993]

Dream stage is such a good way to put on a concert in times like these.

[@chrisfahrenheit2633]

Your performance was actually pretty impressive. Especially the Danube Waltz. Keep up the good work.

[@Tristan-zt8tw]

Wow , that piano does have an exceptional sound! Very clean, and resonant

[@blahuhm6782]

It must be sad to not keep it forever, but I'm happy some extra time for recording took place and we can revisit those magic musical memories

[@lightseeker134]

It's because you care💝

[@Mahmoud605]

i'm watching you for years, i love the piano since my childhood, but you were the reason i took the step and bought my first keyboard then upgraded to console piano, you've been always an inspiration to me, keep up the great work, i will still always be your fan, and even my channel, even if i get famous i will still be your fan 💖💖💖💖

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Aww your passion was the reason 😊 Have fun! 🎶

[@afill471]

The Dreamstage concert was certainly an experience for everyone and it came out really wonderful. You’re certainly not alone with anxiety because this happens generally to everyone before a concert, especially when (and due to the pandemic) our activity is becoming less frequent in terms of live performances. At that point, I would just think about the fact that you are making it happen in the midst of an unprecedented event we all are going through is something to be excited about and confidence for that matter could be contributed by that mindset, trying to look away from the fear of making mistakes, because a lot of it becomes an illusion once you sit on the piano seat and end up playing it with great success. Again, you did a stunning job with the performance at Dreamstage, I would say that if you got me goosebumps at any part of the concert while you’re in that piano, that’s all that matters.

[@JM-ig4ed]

It was so fun watching the chat screen at the same time you played - woudl never be able to talk to each other like that in a live audience setting. People even did their "cough" etc in chat -- just like if we were there, lol.

[@andresgunther]

This was a wonderful concert, and your Mozart was MAGICAL. I am glad that you found nice co-workers and helpers in Eric and Adam, and truly hope that there will be more concerts of you on Dreamstage! I opened a free account with Spotify and "follow" you there, and look forward to the release of your album! 👏👏👏💯

[@romain958]

I just want to point that you are really good at filming , seriously. You always find the way to make comfy and « warm mood » video. Always a pleasure to watch and to listen 👌

[@佐久間若菜-x7u]

Hi Tiffany! Mozart Konzert was amazing!! That was my first online concert, and I was so excited... My English is bad...I am Japanese...but I love your piano and I will support you from Japan!

[@Hans-gb4mv]

That sound engineer sounded like a great guy, trying to help you with reducing your nerves. And in the end, you had fun. Just like we did. Just wish I had someone to dance with at the end 😉. I can't wait for the album, but don't use Spotify. Not a fan of subscription services, I prefer to own the media I consume. Yes, I'm one of those people that still buys CDs or goes to the iTunes Music Store. Oh, and I wouldn't be surprised if DreamStage will be offering and using the Dreamcode function in the future with other artists. And I do hope they learn from the experience of this concert on a technical level so next time we have less buffering issues. But all in all, still a great platform and nice of them to support your wishes. I do hope we get to see you again on it in the future and of course in real life as well.

[@andresgunther]

Yes I am looking forward to get the CD as well. It still sounds better to me than an (always somewhat compressed) MP3 file.

[@tommj4365]

I love dreamstage too, extremely nice customer service too. I'm also looking forward to a CD or high quality download

[@agnidas5816]

That's not how spotify licensing works. But that is how the concert worked... (by subscription) ...

[@annepascual8251]

Hello!! So I've been a fan of yours for a few months and I just wanted to thank you for being such an inspiration to me

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Awww thank you! Best of luck to you for your performance! (what are you doing watching my vlogs few hours before your concerts 😅)

[@marlonbernales7706]

Congratulations Miss tiffany...im proud of you.

[@inessantos1534]

Thank you for showing us the backstage and why we get so nervous when playing something we enjoy... after all is a little bit of our hearts we expose. You are awesome!!! 👏🏼🧡

[@DavidBrant]

Well done Tiffany. I've been binge watching your journey over the last few months. I'm not a classical player, nor a connoisseur of classical music, except for the fact I enjoy listening to it (and your practice sessions) to relax. I myself am a musician and music producer - but from a completely different side of the music industry from this. I really enjoyed the Dreamstage concert, and could feel the amazing energy even though it was virtual. Can't wait to see you perform with an orchestra IN REAL LIFE one day soon.... Congrats! 👏🏼🙌🏼

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Thank you! I hope you'll continue enjoying more and more classical music 😊🎶

[@johnvincentobleada9404]

Every performer has that feeling, but that fear is sometimes the reason why the performance becomes more meaningful. Your Journey really inspire others even non professionals 😁

[@kiaraeijo]

OMG Congrats Tiffany!!! I can’t wait to hear your new album when it comes out!! Performance Anxiety is real!!! For me, it’s been a 12 year battle with Performance Anxiety! To know that you’re open about your anxiety and that I’m not alone is comforting so thank you.

[@charlesl7516]

Thanks so much for this Tiffany - this seriously explains a lot about why you seemed nervous at the event. This is exactly why I think you are amazing. With all that was happening and your dealing with a million things (including the injury!) how does one possibly focus and perform? Well you did it and THANK YOU for a wonderful concert! The previous generations of performing pianists might have other things to deal with but YOU are showing the new generation how to do it and that it can be done. Kudos +++ and keep up the great work!

[@danielphillips8807]

I SO ENJOYED THE MUSIC TIFFANY. thank you so much. concert as amazing.

[@DrQuizzler]

Sounds like it was a really long and tiring day for you, though also invigorating as you've let us know. I didn't see any of that inner struggle in your performances last week. What I saw and heard was amazing playing of three challenging pieces right in a row, one of which was totally solo. It's great to witness things coming together for you.

[@AVINOR_MUSIC]

Excitement is the clearest sign of a living soul.

[@dgsoundCA]

AMAZING! Where were you and youtube 30 years ago when I needed it so much?! Now I know all my struggle back then is absolutely normal and I'm not worse or weaker character as other pianists, it's just the passion pushing you forward to keep striving. Thank you so much Tiffany, wish you all the best, I'm so confident this is the beginning of a great career for you!🎹🏆🙌

[@MeowMeow_Music]

Thank you for all the time you put into your vlogs to share your perspectives. ❤

[@carlhopkinson]

Tiffany, don't worry about playing well or not playing well. We all still love you because you are a beautiful person both on inside and outside !!!

[@blahuhm6782]

I could tell the piano was also super happy to perform with you ^_^

[@jimtownsend8010]

Tiffany, I think you have to realize that you are at the cutting edge of a new way of playing music. These live streams are so young, and as the world and its technology grow, so do our ways of making music. So thank you for being a way-shower, and give yourself some credit because you are a great musician and Mozart player!

[@yasmilady]

I didn't make it on time for the concert, because I discovered your channel too late ! I'm sure it was great. Thank you so much for sharing all this.

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Next time! Welcome to my channel 😊

[@HidekazuOki]

I'm so glad it went very very well in the end! Fantastic concert!!!

[@user-jw4fn6fh2x]

While it is perfectly natural to hear that voice of doubt telling you that you won't do well, I would like to encourage you that you can and will do a great job. Tiffany, you are exceptional. You are very talented. Believe in yourself. I love your music. It makes me feel amazing when I hear you play. Nobody can take that from you including that voice in your head. Deep breath. You WILL perform in a superb manner. You can and will be a great joy to listen to and to encourage so many people like me. You are a gift to all of us. Enjoy the ride. We certainly are.

[@BlackHermit]

Even if you get really nervous, even if you think you totally suck, I will always support you.

[@swanee9599]

The concert was beautiful 💗💗💗

[@rm8405]

Thank you very much, that was very interesting. I think, behind the scence videos and Q&A certainly make music more lively.

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Thank you! Q&A was fun 😊

I didn't expect this video until next week. What a surprise! Your videos are always welcomed. I'm looking forward to your next project.

This is a perfect example of the anxiety before a big performance! "I'm on the verge of crying" hit a little close to home😆 The self doubt too.. It's awful being the only one who here your mistakes isn't it😆🙃

[@frydac]

Must have been quite the experience, glad to hear it seemed to have gone very well!

[@Scriabin_fan]

Thank you Tiffany I always look forward to your videos

[@Musicbybruce1]

Tiffany, you are the best you can do this relax take a deep breath

[@tomkim1017]

We are our worst critics. I too get nervous before performances and the one thing that helped is to think of channeling the composer and the music. Nervousness and anxiety is about us and our own ego. Thinking about this helped me (and some beta blockers too!)

[@charlesl7516]

Clarification: you are right you only seemed nervous during the interviews but when you were performing there was none of that - you were great and clearly you were enjoying it! I particularly like the part of this vlog where you hugged the piano and ask for help at the beginning getting ready for the concert. Thanks so much for sharing all these emotions going through your mind around the event - it shows you are human and indeed superhuman to have done such a fantastic job as you did! I very much look forward to your new album and honestly particularly for the CD but will check out Spotify as suggested. Now I hope you will be able to take a well deserved break!

[@lavendelle_swift]

I have the same feeling when I play Waltzes. By the way, An early Christmas, Birthday and New Year's greetings to you.

[@Kaimo1]

what a wonderful news! a recording! I will be in line and purchase or whatever - but I will get a copy when available - wonderful performance - I never focus on mistakes - neither my own (plentiful) or anyone else's - the whole endeavor has been great - love the engineer and his words of wisdom

[@kopanoblessingmoeti3277]

Haaaa! 21 minutes went by so fast... Anyway, i enjoyed the concert. All the best! You know, when i told my friend that the concert was done, she was super shocked... Anyway, have a good day, Tiffany! ❤️❤️💜❤️ Oh! Also, looking forward to the album. 😉❤️

[@JM-ig4ed]

Thanks for the follow-up on the concert... I watched the first half and then had to take off for work, but I LOVED the concert - you were fantastic. Loved watching you play along with orchestra. Great job!

[@TheYasminarf]

Thank you for being so open with us ❣️ You are a magnificent musician ✨✨

Advance happy 24th birthday Tiffany woot woot!!🎉🎉🎉

[@imqqmi]

Sounds like everything played out well for you! I really enjoyed the performance, in my own living room, and no annoying people around me ;) You're such a pro musician, you can fall back on your experience when making a mistake. I didn't notice it until Blue Danube, which I really enjoyed anyway. It's such a complex piece, you've tried to play almost all the orchestral parts at the same time. The passion with which you play is felt and more important than playing it perfectly without feeling imho. You're not a robot after all. One thing that could be improved isn't about your playing but I'd loved to have a good close up camera angle of your hands and face during the performance like you did in this video at 4:00. I would've felt more connected to you as an artist and takes us with you to the place where you go during your performance. I'm looking forward to your Spotify releases, I'll make sure to put them on my regular listening playlists. Good to hear you leave the technical stuff to technicians, to each their own specialty and it shows in the quality of the end product and gives you piece of mind and allows you to focus on your art. And compliments to Eric for dragging you through all this ;) We all benefit :) You've done really really well Tiffany!

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Thank you for your supportive comment! 😊 I'll make sure to ask for that camera angle the next time I have a production team for my live stream concerts.

[@stratorunner1]

All these emotions are precisly whats make ya an amazing artist ! Thankiuu !

[@himono0nna]

[@andrewharris4070]

You're one of the reasons I've started to practice piano and am trying to learn. =) Thanks for being you!

[@Ritayan]

I saw how you used your left pedal to maintain the brightness of the piano. It's a very helpful technique, which I've learnt from your concert. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this video. 🙏❤️

[@WoutDC]

The concert was very enjoyable and I'm very glad you get to do a recording again Tiffany! Seems you worked very hard to get here and troughout all this so I hope you can get some well-deserved rest now haha. Also, have you ever thought/dreamed about play-conducting Mozart or other concertos? It's something that seems very interesting to me personally...

Haven't watched to end yet, but guessing Scarlatti is the secret recording! (based on clues Tiffany has dropped recently) :)

I certainly do hope to hear some Scarlatti on the album.
