Practicing Beethoven Sonata - Day Before Recital | Tiffany Vlogs #130

[lily]

One day I'm going to watch Tiffany Poon perform live

[erickim]

For those interested, Tiffany is playing
Piano Sonata #18 In E Flat, Op. 31/3, "The Hunt"
2. Scherzo: Allegretto Vivace

[markfrank]

An inspiration to anyone wishing to be the best at whatever it is he/she does. I am a music lover, not a professional by any means, but I appreciate what it takes to make something look easy. People look at an artist such as you and say, I would do anything to play like that but very few would do what it takes to get to where you are. We marvel at excellence without fully considering what it took to get there.

[Ummm]

I’ve heard many different pianists play, and I won’t say that she’s the best because that would be such a cliche. But it is true that I am astonished by her talent. So subtle and she has strong color too. I love her.

Tiffany, I know you probably won’t see this but I just wanted to say how big of an inspiration you are to me. I started piano vert young, and “fell in love” with the instrument, and the joy it brought me but soon enough, levels and passing exams were all that was on my mind. When nearing my RCM 10 exam this may, I lost motivation. I made excuses to not play piano, even though I knew this was possibly the most critical few months of my piano journey. When I first discovered your channel, I immediately experienced the emotions i felt before, and I was finally drawn to play again. I passed the exam, and I’m now as motivated as ever to play music, and i owe it all to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for reigniting my love for music and inspiring so many people with your passion!

[fazergazer]

Beethoven, so personable and good natured. The sound equivalent of seeing a beautiful painting of someone so interesting, meeting them is now on your bucket list!!!!

[mottokittokatto]

The attention you pay to every dynamic detail is totally amazing! These practice videos really help me / the viewers appreciate all the subtle feelings in the composer's music that you're bringing to life. I feel & understand so much more of the music's emotions during these practice videos when you can stop / replay / retry / revise (and comment on) the dynamic intricacies! Thank you! 8D

[ilikechopin]

You were a wonder child which proves also as an adult. An inspiration for everyone who loves music and especially who studies piano! ❤

[L.M]

I’d like to hear this woman play jazz, upbeat jazz with great bass lines.

“On Christmas Day in the morning”

Have a good one. 🎅 🎄 🙏

[platypusmusic]

Why haven’t I heard of this sonata before? It’s sounds like such a fun piece to play!

[r.i.p.volodya]

I think these videos are wonderful! There's many a pianist that wouldn't want anyone to watch them practice but Tiffany is SUCH an inspiration in this respect. We get to see the REAL life of a classical pianist and exactly what they have to go through. BRAVA Tiffany 😁😍

[kirbyfernandez]

Glad you're out doing (normal) recitals again! The dynamics is so beyond the score. Really lovely!

[tombufford]

Real professional precion hammering on those piano keys Tiffany. I understand Beethovens compositions artfully demonstrated the strength of the New iron framed pianos being manufactured. Beautiful playing !

[manlingkwokpianostudio]

Totally feel the same way when I practice this movement 😂 Can’t wait to see your live performance in person one day

[PianoLandscapesfilm]

This is my absolute favorite Beethoven piano sonata. Enjoy watching you work through it. One day I will play it.

[sergeirachmaninoff]

Hey Tiffany, I just wanted to thank you for posting your practicing “deconstructing” the pieces, for me listening to only one hand for example is very instructive, the ideias are clearer and it becomes easy to follow latter on. I know you probably won’t see this, but thank you again! Love the effort you put into bringing out the best on the music.

[medraymedray]

Amazing and beautiful! You are the best Tiffany! Love your playing and can't wait for the day I can hear you in person. It makes me very proud to be a fan. Much Love!

[enriqueali]

Wish more pianists would post practice vids the way you do. We get so used to seeing perfectly polished final performances. It's refreshing and instructive to see firsthand all the thought, effort and hours of dedicated practice beforehand that help shape the actual performance 😃😃😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😍😍😍

[alexanderpiano]

Tiffany, I can't tell you how helpful your thought bubbles have been while you practice. You have improved my practice so much by modeling what a professional does. Thank you!

[lavendelle_swift]
