Yundi Li is an incredible talent...Long may he play beautiful music!

[@eunseonkwon4088]

Who can play like this! Amazing!

[@darwincm]

I am looking forward to watch his live performance at Sydney Opera House!

정말 쵝오!! ♡

[@nevillejacobs6687]

The "Home Style" is delightful for a certain spontaneity but no less moving. I keep wanting to hear "just one more," but eventually see the clock and the hour.

[@Elip6t]

amazing

[@ThePianoguy89]

So talented!

[@exds14]

what a great practice!

[@steamriceroll]

Thank you so much for the video. I do not know how he can remember all the musical notes, he is so talented. Wow. I wish I can do this in my next life, or next next life.

[@cch312]

Let's do it in this life we are living! Yundi have been spending his whole life practicing, about 30 years? I bet you still have 30 years of life, right? :) Do it if you want it!!!

[@cesaracosta1950]

BRAVISSIMO MR. YUNDI!!!

[@itpiano]

好听，以后多传点

[@zxdc1230]

[@user-mq9bo4gj2t]

Vravo!!!!!

[@mipiacetrazom]

Questo movement suona bene. Sono contento che ha deciso di rinanciare le smorfie

[@gagagu0206]

真希望有生之年也能達到此境界！

[@CRb677]

同感⋯

[@CRb677]

這只是練習 this is only a show of " practice"

역시 사람마다 치는게 다 다르네 다른사람들처럼 곡이 같아도 자기만의 스타일로치듯이 나도 나만의그런...음 치고싶다 그걸찾는게 어려워..

[@neonRTowner]

I wish this could be in AT LEAST 720 resolution - I find that piano to have some tuning problems in the middle register - coming off as a bit "hard" and "clangy" sounding. HOpefully it's the 480 resolution. Yundi - has a good, robust and hearty piano style. So glad he doesn't BANG out Beethoven.

想听你弹肖邦的练习曲10-3离别，我正在练

[@meowpm1571]

[@FrancisAsin-Gioro]

not the reason of the piano, it's the recording distortion

[@latinosaresexyafugh5085]

how about beethovens sonata on m bean?

[@stevenxia2944]

His shirt, is that Glenn Gould?

[@heartsnstars8282]

How does he memorize all the notes of all the pieces he play?

[@Lalulalala824]

LOUISANNA .P in what universe is appassionata easy?

[@FrancisAsin-Gioro]

it shouldn't be an issue, and you have to try harder if you unluckily own poor momory. all the students in Russian musical schools are asked to play all the music they are learning (including etudes) totally by heart!

[@greggorytame6672]

Steve FOX that's how I learn to play. from memory.

[@theflexintexan2152]

People just starting out on piano have a lot of trouble getting their hands to "work together". For professionals out there, how does it feel to play with both hands? Do the two hands "Play as one", so to speak; do they tell eachother what to do? Or is it just as simple as paying attention to both at once?

[@anthonycyrille5754]

michael warner Depends on the piece. When it comes to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, quite often you need both hands to have some independencies. When you're working, you're just synchronizing your hands to play the notes, the phrases simultaneously, focusing on playing at the right time. After a while, your hands know what to do and become way more independant on playing. They kind of play as one, since you've trained them hard you don't focus on playing with both hand anymore, you're focusing on playing right.

[@wsheng8216]

am I the only one feeling this is not as good as his best times..?

[@bymc9888]

nice work but please tune the piano, it is totally out of tune

[@brozors]

he didn't have a memory slip this time! lol

[@perotal]

What do you mean "this time"?

[@IkerCasillas53]

florestan eusebius there's another crash on la campanella... enjoy!! watch?v=zm5JhlKyrEs

[@brozors]

IkerCasillas53 oh wow, that was painful. I actually turned if off 3/4 way because I felt bad for him.

[@brozors]

florestan eusebius it's actually a performance of the Appassionata first movement. the Youku video was quite a stir because he kept repeating a passage until he remembered what was next.

[@IkerCasillas53]

brozors really??? you gonna have to show me the video

[@Vivien123jun]

Appassioanta~ I think it is good for you to be fast but not too fast ,bcs the scale is still not as suitable as this speed,too fast your hand will be not on good timing. Still not yet diploma in performing style ??btw try your best^^

음...별로임

[@lourak613]

I have never heard a more boring and lifeless rendition of Beethoven's great work than this. What a waste of energy on Yundi's part. I know he can do better than this - but he seems to be in purely a mechanical mode here - not much music making, I'm afraid...

[@haiyanw365]

lourak613 Boring it is. I really liked him before. I hope he'd see what he's doing.

[@AlejandroMeri]

lourak613 Maybe because he is practicing a particularly fast piece? focusing on not missing a note instead of give it some feeling?

[@davidxu9566]

+lourak613 Probably because this is "home style"... you know, when you're at home, sitting at the piano, and just kind of having fun with your fingers. You want a more "performance-like" performance, feel free to buy his album (or find it on KZbin--I'm sure it's out there somewhere).

[@ershenlin1774]

Not only the piano was out of tune, his brain was out of tune too.
