Yuja Wang: Tritsch-Tratsch Polka

[@jacobschiller4486]

In case anybody's wondering, that's the sheet music for Kapustin's 3rd and 4th Concert Etudes (Toccatina and Remembrance).

[@lesmenezes9784]

Brought tears to my eyes. Just unbelievably too much.

Precisely, intricate techniques and monstrous velocity.

Behind the fast fingers, short dress and high heels, is a remarkable woman from humble beginnings as a 6 year-old child in China whom through hard work, dedication, family and pedagogical support, made it.

[@eriksnip1243]

I just love Yuja. Great music with humour skill and passion!

[@MelodiousHeart1]

Wow, I have seen Yuja perform this piece before a few times but haven't seen this video before. I see the date 'September 22' in the description, so this must be from yesterday! It's such a treat to see her playing right in front of fans. She is exceptional, I love her!! Thanks for posting this.

[@aidahansen3356]

Everytime I watch her I'm always amazed the way she plays. It's sure is a flying fingers. She one of a kind, a gifted young lady. Wonder how old is she now.

[@duncanmacpherson2013]

I beleive she recently celebrated her 30th birthday

[@LaurentPingaultLyon]

She is 33, being born 1987.02.10

[@gracielafreire4460]

Virtuosismo total! Única en el mundo.!!! Escucharla me llena de admiración, con su técnica superlativa. Es absolutamente la mejor pianista del mundo!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Amazing performance Yuja !!! We love ❤️ you :)

[@annapenn4741]

Fantastic! She is a magician with stunning tricks to mesmerize the public.

[@daniele8716]

You meant she is an astute clown, full of tricks to mesmerize audiences totally deprived of a sentient brain. Yes, I agree. Nice fingerwork, though.

[@Zerpentsa6598]

She plumps the depths of musical meaning and emotions we never knew existed. A musician and philosopher.

[@rigel48]

Very funny. I suppose it is a joke.

[@carlovazquez1586]

The admirers of her legs get out of control when they publish comments on KZbin.

OMG The left hand💜

[@shotokansmudgemosmith2346]

Feel moved to say that this lady is a 100% outstanding World class talent. Love it all!! Hope I'm forgiven if I make particular reference to her 'Stride' technique. I'm totally blown away! Best I can say right now. All the very best.

[@philipwong1114]

Thank you for sharing Yuja Wong's piano.

[@brbosen]

Just..... HOW? Amazing.

[@momentsofo]

I can watch her playing the piano forever.

[@rtyrtyrty99ty]

I'm sure she didn't practice this piece for a long period and just play it purely by memory

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

Totally in her own league and SUPER brilliant Genial does’nt even desribe her talent fully or even in part…‼️⁉️ 👊🔥🥂 🪖

I think she now has to take on the kudos of being the world's greatest living pianist. 4 years ago, too.

What a treat to see and hear her performance that was performed showing perfection!!! I'm in love with you, because you are really a punk rock girl sent from heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to see her accompany Chico and Harpo Marx in their movies so we could hear it with modern sound. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.

She is an extreme of pro pianist.

How, and how long. 2 questions ;)

[@joanliu2051]

Since 6 years old had first teach. before that just played at home.

[@Moptohor]

On 0.5 of speed it's still impossible for most of people))

[@petertrueteller8043]

It is such incredibly hard piece so even pianist with very solid technique sounds like some amateur who have no clue what is doing.

[@Ranger1216]

I think it was into for Bugs Bunny?

[@mikecarroll8912]

[@DrumDisciple1]

A little Debussy to start..nice

[@Ranger1216]

Yuja can also pitch left handed as well..

[@ly1465]

Not only is she shy but also quirky, too🤨

[@michaelschefold3299]

No other pianist is able to follow her...she plays in a league of her own.....and her likeable personality let her play an "encore" for about one (!) hour.

[@OutfitCornwall]

Super Pianist !

[@emmaw6461]

I kind of disagree with that. If you are talking about this piece i think Kristina Miller did a way better job. I am not saying she is bad. I just think KM's interpretation is better

[@suremate]

emma w I agree, although I am a fan of YW, Kristina’s technique is even better.

[@raphaelkreutzer8063]

Kristina Miller has got a more musical and cultivated style!

[@emmaw6461]

Agree! Not to mention she is very underrated. Her touch is as light as air!

[@megvnium]

[@stellachibukhchian6932]

რა სიცოცხლეა

[@Bod_users]

There can be harder passages of technique, not in this particular piece. And she has played them too.

[@rweaver6]

Yuja's still got that left-hand stride sorcery. Right hand's OK, too. Compare with Verbier 2010.

[@JohnNyerges]

Whew.

[@ashtonlyons2139]

2x playback speed lol

[@cowzilla8]

Still skips that one middle section, for some reason. Amazing performance, nonetheless.

[@Loofie1-t9t]

Nothing much

[@JoeBlue415]

She's amazing. the piece is schlock and not enjoyable schlock

[@ny10980]

Try slowing the speed down to .75 to hear what it is suppose to sound like. While Yuja is indeed spectacular she is not super human while playing this Trashy Polka!

[@ryushev2000]

There is no "what it is supposed to sound like" just because you dont like it doesnt mean its wrong. This piece is a playful showoff and theres literally nothing wrong with that

[@ny10980]

@@ryushev2000 Let me explain it to you...slowly. I, like yourself, am a musician. And while watching Yuja play this piece I realize that she was playing at supersonic speed. Actually, she is playing so fast that it is virtually impossible to do. So I slowed the speed down on the video and confirmed what I thought...that the video had been placed on KZbin at an artificially exaggerated speed. So when you place the speed @ .75 you might just say, "yes, that's more like it"! But maybe you are in a hurry and want to get the piece over with quickly! So then turn the speed up to 1.50 like apparently the poster of this video did. However, if you want to hear how the song was probably ACTUALLY played live by Yuja (at normal speed) then lower it to .75!!! That now sounds more logical to the well trained ear. Hopefully this helps...
