I like the amount of rubato she used throughout the piece, staying true to the romantic style. Also most tend to play the last note very loudly and I like how she left it on a soft note, very impactful. Such a clean performance, a much deserved win

[@sevenoranges]

I am more and more impressed by this wonderful pianist. I find I really like listening to her often. Not something I could say of several younger pianists today.

[@thegreenpianist7683]

Interesting approach with beautiful long phrasing.

[@user-hk8ti8po4b]

She played two scherches in this competition, all of which were great. Especially, this number three scherzo performance is really great. The ability to maintain tension from the beginning to the trio part was excellent.

Very enjoyable interpretation. Her performances never fail to give me chills

[@marekczekanski1598]

Pianistic perfection and much more: deep insight, splendid intuition of composer's intention and personal creativity. Bravo Yulianna!

Love it! so much control and not single boring sentence...my favourite interpretation!!

this is def one of the best interpretation of the piece

[@etruscie]

not one of favorite works but Avdeeva made it a compelling listen indeed.

[@luisperez6065]

Love you Yulianna!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@bennemann]

Wow, she employs a considerably slower tempo and drags out the notes relative to other performances. Interesting and beautiful. Her delicacy with the cadences at 5:23 is delightful.

[@LuisKolodin]

her tempo is not slower. in fact she remains faithful to the score indication. that Coda should be played at TEMPO PRIMO, right exactly as the beginning, and it is impossible to play that clearly if you start the beginning too fast. those octaves at the beginning are very easy, not the coda or other passages. she worries about the long line that keeps the song flowing without interruptions (of unnecessary tempo changes, for instance)

[@marshan1226]

Luis Kolodin damn pro player btw

[@roccocicoria4888]

Great!!! Grandissima pianista!!

[@iansdigby]

oh i love this

[@ilovemycatrussell9298]

I like how she played this after Mazurkas Op 30. No 4 is in C-Sharp Minor and goes well before Scherzo 3. Not over the top like Daniil.

[@georgeignatiou983]

Perfect!!

[@annelysecombitsis7553]

2:51 WOW.

[@assindiastignani]

Rubinstein always said that this was the most difficult of the 4 scherzi...and also his favorite.

[@jacobsimonson9040]

assindiastignani I thought that the first would probably be the hardest?

The ultimate level of pianistic complexity. Awesome technique , perfect phrasing, deepest understanding for the compositions, highest musicality, absolutely cleanliness, her touch and the clarity of her tone are breathtaking and she has mastered the art of holding back pleasantly.

[@DynamicMateTV]

The BEST. Full stop.

great naturality!

I hate perfection ... But everything is too good here! W Yulianna!

No need to be upset. You will never make it even to a 1/4 of her talent. So just enjoy her playing and enjoy your everyday job. Good luck!

Chopin really was mad. He must have suffered from depression a lot in his life to write so much emotional music

This pierce is particularly special and unusual comparing to his other works!

This Chopin piano music had been used as example in the italian youtube cultural video "Lezioni di Musica - Chopin" of the channel "musicamonteverde".
