Sir András Schiff Piano Masterclass at the RCM: Hin-Yat Tsang

On Sunday 10 April 2016 the Royal College of Music welcomed back Sir András Schiff, one of the world's most celebrated pianists, for a masterclass with talented RCM musicians.

In this clip, Schiff works with Hin-Yat Tsang on Schumann's Humoreske op 20.

Sir András has such a character. His enthusiasm about music makes his masterclasses so enjoyable.

And yet, however well he plays, however much he listens and does what is asked of him, with your eyes closed you can always tell when it is Schiff who is playing : just that bit more lyrical, just that bit more convincing, just that bit more beautiful.Therein lies the wonder.

[ariehordijk]

What a joy to see and hear this young pianist play, and how he picks up the instructions of the Master. He is brilliant.

I don't play music but this is so fascinating. It's incredible the deep knowledge the professor has of this piece

[Janaceks_Dad]

Fascinating how Schiff seems to understand the piece not only as music, but the music theory underpinning the entire score...as well as his linking the themes to Schuman's lieder.

[opentls]

It is amazing how Schiff transforms a good performance into a great one.

[quaver]

Most enjoyable and instructive masterclass I’ve ever attended. Both musicians seemed to enjoy it too!

[cowheadcow]

Love this one. As I heard the pianist play I was wondering how much they would even have to talk about. Cool to watch Schiff pick apart such a polished set. He clearly enjoyed working with this pianist as well.

Utterly fascinating and deeply instructive master class.

I have goosebumps watching this video. Amazing!

Sir András Schiff is my spirit animal... XD, but in all seriousness this piece demonstrated his Technical knowledge in the Classical repertoire

[canman]

Great play ! I think he is even better than Yundi Li !

[yuzhangli]

Tsang's finger reminds me of Haochen Zhang, wonder who he had been studying with before.
