Yundi Li Rehearsal Tapes -Chopin Ballade No.4, Op.52

[@大海小浪]

但老师指导辛苦了！谢谢！ 他是一位优秀，出色的古典钢琴演奏家，他给我们演奏了无数优美动听，高水平的钢琴曲。 社会不能因他一点点个人生活小事就毫无理由期限地诋毁他的钢琴演奏才能，关闭他的演奏机会，我们早就想听一听他坐在大厅舞台上演奏那些古典钢琴曲了。 我们爱听他的演奏的人群要为他呼吁，要为他辩护才是我们的义务和公道，大声呼唤出：云迪 你快出来吧！我们在等着你！

[@mazurka27abc]

Very interesting video of Yundi Li with his teacher when he was 19, so it was one year after he won brilliantly the 1st prize at the Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 2000, he was then only 18 years old! His teacher seems to be very demanding, and this is normal at this level of performance. Thank you so much Tracy for sharing.

[@angelarasmussen3884]

Magical interaction between student and teacher. So musically sensitive.

[@richardy6945]

...the teacher is actually providing very good advise, I think. Yundi also insists on his own interpretations sometimes and the teacher agrees as well.

[@yuerx1009]

太好了，早一點剛聽了魯賓斯坦演奏此曲的錄音，現在又有幸看到云迪在老師的指導下完整清晰地將其一一呈現。

[@Miyokosan1]

Liさんの弾くこの曲はロマンチックで魅惑的、幻想的大好きです。 先生と曲を作っていく貴重な映像、言葉はわからなくても通じるもの があります。この曲弾くLiさんとても素敵。

[@strawberry7769]

このビデオ音は悪いけれど何故か何回も見てしまう。先生の言ってることは大体ジェスチャーでわかります。ユンディの弾くショパンはすごくロマンチック！リピートして弾いてくれるのでとても勉強になります。。先生が最高にキュート‼︎

I've always wanted to see him play Ballade 4. The one recording from him during the Chopin competition is masterfully played. This is amazing. Thank you!

Thank you for the serious insights to be gained by watching this splendid duo in collaboration; a rare opportunity!

[@cvvv9249]

刚刚听完新专辑的叙事曲，真是无法同日而语 --- 肖邦是灵魂的试金石，当年的李云迪只是但老师哺育的雏鸟，唱出了他孜孜以求的肖邦，然而长大后的李云迪却根本不具备肖邦的浪漫和宏大，于是今生再也无法弹出这样优美的旋律。

[@xxberg]

cv vv 如果他不学Zimerman，在肖邦的路上只能越走越远。他成功的原因之一就是有近似于Zimerman的台风和处理方式。现在已经完全没了

[@SKubric]

这个大家都清楚，我们喜欢的其实是但老师心目中的肖邦。如果李云迪偏离老师的精髓，那真的并不是我们喜欢的了。

[@马旷驰]

cv vv 干嘛非得学哪个名家，每个人都有自己的风格，灵魂的试金石，每个人的经历不同表现出来的音乐就不同。你不喜欢可以不听现在的李云迪，如果都去效仿某人还有什么新意

Very insightful video, thanks!

[@essencenigel]

My first recording I heard was Moisevitch. I still have the vinyl in poor condition, never seen it on youtube. What is interesting is that Richter and Moisevitch hold on to the chord at 10:00. I was told off by my teacher for doing the same, but I think it works! The main thing is singing and making a story, the rubato must be like an actor breathing while he tells a story. Rubato must be at the phrase level, not the word level. This is where Yundi, like so many pianists, fail. Emphasis individual notes with tone and touch, not with false rubato. I remember ? Patrick Stewart talking about the phrasing of tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, and advice to emphasise the 'and'. When he did it, it all flowed, it wasn;t tomorrow AND tomorrow AND .. pause ... tomorrow. You build it up through the repetitions - or maybe, like this Chopin section, you build it up by descending into silence - each 'and tomorrow' becomes quieter, tailing off. My teacher told me to play it many times, each with a different story, different style.

[@rxl007]

YES for holding the chord ! It makes a wonderful resonance...

[@may7153]

Could somebody translate or at least give us some summary of what the teacher says please...? That would be immensely helpful. Thank you! :)

[@infinitekeys1603]

A lot of it is conveyed in the teachers conducting while he speaks, the tone of their voices while interacting, and the changes Yundi makes in his playing responding to what the teacher is advising. Music is the universal language

[@leonardodelyrarodrigues3752]

I really wanted to know what interesting things he is saying and teaching, but I don't understand this language, can someone summarize what he said so I can apply it in a practical way?

[@The1976spirit]

A mistuned piano wouldn´t have been the case if he´d knocked at the door of Maurizio Pollini in Milano. Ari Vardi seems to have been the best choice for charcter building. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZbNpIuHa5t8ipY

[@LLtube001]

Yundi was excellent playing his Chopin and Liszt repertoire under the mentorship of Mr Dan, it's a pity where he's fallen now.

[@donkgated8074]

+LLtube001 Maybe that's the issue. The teacher in this video practically dictated how everything should be phrased, as well as when and how much rubato should be used. Out there in the real world, you need to stand on your own feet and let your artistry shine through. This kind of teaching, effective it may be in creating competition winners, doesn't help develop independence and intelligent artistry.

[@LLtube001]

+donkgated totally agree

[@charleslee9473]

+donkgated I must say I started with sympathizing your comment. However, consider too that this is probably some master class; he is here for external opinion and nitpicking--It doesn't mean he agrees with everything but how will he gain anything if he doesn't at least try during the lesson? I don't see how you can make good music merely by following instructions; unless you can remember millions of small specific directions that build the entire piece.

[@donkgated8074]

***** You can actually remember millions of small specific directions, if you are capable enough and commit to them hard enough. Yundi is certainly more than easily capable! And Dan Zhaoyi is not the only teacher that operates like this. At least he's nice - I know some professors who operate like dictators and will berate students who don't do exactly as they say. My problem with this is as you say; you can't make good music merely by following instructions. Moreover, you are not an artist if you only regurgitate what your teachers had told you and you yourself have nothing to say about the art. "However, consider too that this is probably some master class..." No, Dan Zhaoyi was Yundi Li's teacher for some time. Look at the setting - sofa, closed pianos - and you'd surmise it's a private lesson.

Why was Mr Dan speaking Mandarin but not Sichuanese.......

[@readingRoom100]

and why are u speaking english, that special language so inherently suited for self defeating logic and baseless claims

[@xinjing3153]

I don't get why people are being aggressive on youtube. When asking this question, I was simply curious about people's CHOICE of dialects. Both Mr Dan and Yundi were born and raised in Sichuan-Chongqing region. That's why I asked this question. Anyway, it was just curiosity. I appreciate the diversity of languages and dialects. There's nothing wrong whether they communicate in mandarin, sichuanese, english, or whatever else. All languages should be equal. And it's quite fine that I speak Chinese, which I actually prefer because I'm more in fluent in it. 总之，如果你喜欢与人互喷的话，请继续。 我自己也是闲得蛋疼了，费这么多话。

[@readingRoom100]

it's ok, nobody read it, cuz it was in yankspeak lol, and there is something wrong with that, u can count on it 谢了，能用人话再喊冤一遍吗? 蛮夷话和人话在你心中果不相同，蛮夷话说得如此"得体";，嗯，不是阳痿，不是鹦鹉学舌，不是烂好人，而是"得体"哈哈哈。换成那一句可怜的中文却又不知所云，居然在段落结尾告诉我"继续读"？读什么？ 没讲完吗，好吧，敬候佳音呵呵

[@xinjing3153]

蛮夷话说得“得体”实在是因为自己英文水平不高，无法说得像您一样酷炫，仅此而已。说“继续”是因为发觉你很享受在网上与人理论，于是让你继续自娱自乐。这不是我所擅长的，我也不觉得有什么意义。你想赢，你赢了。 我躲远一点。：）

Listening to this, I am convinced the robot Yundi cannot feel music. He is a mechanical genius but cannot find any phrasing at all. I have seen him in concert and he was loud and fast. No feeling at all. It's funny when he tries to fake feel with false facial emotions. Lang Lang gets a bad rap but I believe he feels the music.

[@mellyru7289]

Mike Coughlin Really? I think he's great and I enjoy him more than Bang Bang or other pianists... but I admit that I don't know anything about piano or classical music

[@mazurka27abc]

+Mike Coughlin : Your comment is lousy ! You think you're stronger than the jury (with Martha Argerich) of Warsaw Chopin Competition in 2000 where Yundi Li won the 1st prize as he was only ...18 ? In this video he is only 1 year older, that means 19, and you think he no longer needs the advice of a teacher to perform ? And you think that if he listens this advice, he is a robot ? This is nonsense !

[@donkgated8074]

+mazurka27 And you think the juries are always all in agreement about who is best? You win competitions like this because you offend the least number of juries, not because you have the most artistic integrity or whatever. Just listen to the 2015 edition of the competition. The 3rd prizewinner was actually the favourite of the audience and probably the conductor of the orchestra as well, as well as the favorite of all the Polish judges who gave her the top marks, not the first prizewinner.
