Thank you for being with me and Schumann's music this year ♥️ Hope this video helped those of you who get anxious before concert. I managed to be quite calm despite the sleepless night 🙏 Happy Holidays, everyone 🤗🎄🥂

I was there. You did not look sleepless, you looked graceful, and your playing was very intimate and exceptional. Until I watched this video, I would have had no idea whatsoever of the sleeplessness and low energy, neither did I notice the wardrobe malfunction at all. I'm not exaggerating when I say this concert was one of the most profound experiences of my life. Thank you so much for your hard work, it definitely paid off!

[wanderingwonderer]

I can attest to the fact that you looked very calm when you entered the stage! Incredibly graceful as well. I had a starstruck moment when I got to meet you in person afterwards 😅

What a gift to see a talented performing artist as a real human being. Thank you.

I want to sincerely thank you for your performance. Being a piano performance major in college, I had recently put in a lot of work for recitals and tests to the point where I felt genuinely burnt out with playing piano and music in general. Until I was able to make it to your recital. You reminded me of why I love music, and just how powerful it really is. The sheer passion in your playing was so incredibly inspiring to witness, and I'm honored that I got to watch it happen live. So thank you for sharing Schumann's music with us, and for rekindling my love for piano. I hope your Christmas is very merry, and that you have a wonderful new year!

You can not fake a good heart. You are a Rock Star!! ❤️

I randomly found your channel today while searching for some of Chopin's pieces. I used to play piano when I was a child but haven't touched it in 25+ years. I recently started playing again and there was one piece that my childhood piano teacher used to play for me which I loved but I didn't know who the composer was, I only remembered the melody. While watching this video I have finally found it... Schumann "Scenes from Childhood" Op.15 No.1. Thank you.

Hello and, good evening Tiffany. I think I finally realized what it is about you that is so endearing. You reach people on a personal level. Your bubbly warmth and openness are very charming, personable. This is why I think, that I enjoy your Vlogs so immensely. For me an almost paternal or big brother emotion on a light and subtle level. This is just the rambling of a 71 year old man so think nothing of it. Enjoy your weekend Tiffany. As always may God bless and watch over you.

I love that you post on YouTube and it just feels good to hear you play in an otherwise cold, lonely, violent, and selfish world..I can hear the beauty that also exists and that we need more of...You have been so generous with your privacy but one can see a strong, humble human being as she goes through a very musical life ...the ups and downs..and the very personal thoughts and growth..you have let us become a good friend as it were .

[Waymar]

Thank you for sharing this experience honestly. Many a publicist or agent would try to hide this, but it's probably much more common than people realize.

[nongking]

My husband and I enjoyed your concert. We were excited when we found out on your YouTube that you were going to perform at the Kennedy Center. We jumped right in to book the tickets. We hope to attend your live performance again. Keep up your wonderful work, Tiffany:) Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[baltazarcahue]

It's an honor to be able to share moments like these with you. Thank you for the amazing uploads and keep up the amazing work!

[thomasbunner]

I just love your videos, and your style of editing. I think it is such a privilege that you allow us to see and hear what goes on physically and mentally with you before going on stage. I wish I had been there to hear you play. If you ever plan on performing in Japan, I will definitely be there! Fan from Fukuoka, 🤗👏.

[rotviepe]

Been a fan for years, keep up the good work!

Too late to help now, but for the future- any experienced runner will tell you that it’s not the night of sleep before a race that matters most but the one before that. If you have a bad night of sleep the night before your race (or performance 🙂), you’ll still be ok as long as you had a good night’s sleep the night before that.

[fuyu]

You did it!! I hope you give yourself plenty of rest after this.

[platypusmusic]

It’s been one hell of a journey with Schumann! As an online audience I’ve grown and learnt a lot from the adventures these few months, and I can’t thank you enough!

Oh and happy holidays! Have a well deserved rest

[arggal]

I do not stop watching this blog over and over again! There are no words to express how happy I am and how proud I am of you! It is a great honor for me to support a great artist!

[AsherMandrake]

Thank you for sharing. It helps to know that regardless of the level of training, experience and expertise, we all go through some pre-performance anxiety, whether it's a big concert hall or a small church worship service. Sounds like you did a great job!

[MrSean]

I'm sure you were great Tiffany, no need to stress as you are very talented+dedicated.

Merry Christmas!
