"Idk if I'm ready but whatever" *Proceeds to play pretty much perfect and insanely complex and precise piece* Jesus at 19 I was happy to have made it out of my house w/ my shoe laces tied.
Watching and listening to Yuja is a sublime experience. And, certainly there are many young artists who devote their lives to classical music, however only one that I regularly hear that plays it with such precision, and spirit....and that is Yuja!
One of the reasons why I have become Yujia's fan is that I'd like to see how well human being can play piano. She has really stretched her abilities to a very top level. Good on you, Yujia!
I had the incredible privilege of seeing her in person at the Hollywood bowl several years ago. It was a life changing experience to see her play first hand.
I'm speechless and in a good way. Human neurology is way further advanced than I thought, and I'm sorry that Chopin and Beethoven couldn't see and hear her.
Human neurology? Oh, silly. You think people virtuosic playing at this level is a product of our advanced civilization? It’s amazing, but it ain’t new. Not by centuries. We’re not advanced. You’re just late to the party.
@@duftstabkerze4236 Hmmm... you might have a point. I thought he was referring to advances in the study of human neurology allowing for players to use new skills and methods and whatnot (nootropics?) to play in ways that weren't possible before. That was a big leap on my part. Perhaps Malcolm simply meant that upon hearing this amazing playing he was stunned at what the human brain can do? And that Chopin and Beethoven would have appreciated her playing? I can agree with that last part for sure. I also think they would have praised her playing highly.
@@wellesradio "Perhaps Malcolm simply meant that upon hearing this amazing playing he was stunned at what the human brain can do?" That was basically my understanding as well. What the human brain and neurology (since ages, not since Beethoven) are able to do achieve at best. I mean, she is really stunning, out of this world. Like a foretaste on genetic engineering or robotics. I took 10 years of piano lessons, and maybe I could match 50% of her speed with same zero error rate after 1 year of hard practicing those pieces. And I still would not be able to achieve such dynamics.
@@duftstabkerze4236 Yes, I agree. I was confused by the use of the word "neurology", which was not a field in Beethoven's time, as I would have likewise been confused if I'd read your comment mentioning genetic engineering and robotics. What I'm saying is that playing at this level was always possible. And from what one reads, it was more common (though still rare) in the classical era when select children were essentially trained from the youngest age with no regards for any other education or future apart from their work as professional musicians. Thankfully, children have more rights today, and as witnessed in this video, can still reach great artistic heights without becoming musical slaves.
It almost brings tears to my eyes to see someone with this type of skill level and has fun with it as well. I watch this and think there may be hope for this generation that so many of us question everyday. Thank goodness for those that still love the arts that speak to our very hearts.
What hands! Impressive talent.. nowadays, one of the best pianists around.. the phenomenal, the beatiful and amazing Yuja Wang! so young here.. but.. really outstanding.
One wonders what Mozart would say if he heard this arrangement of his Turkish Rondo performed like this. I would guess two things: 1) She is completely and utterly mad, and 2) He would be in awe of what she is actually doing here. Yuja is a treat for both the ears and the eyes.
What a privilege to just be there with her and enjoy such a performance. I even like the acoustics of the piano filling up the room. I really hate concert hall echo.
It makes absolutely no difference how completely ignorant of or how knowledgeable and accomplished you are of keyboard skills.....she is just WOW to everybody. I do not know her but I did date the sister of one of her keyboard teachers in 1991 when she was very young. I was told about this phenomenal kid that could listen to the teacher play a piece of complicated music and then play it back better than the teacher. We are truly blessed to live in her time and when she is absolutely at her peak. I pray that God protects her and gives her many more years.
I started playing classical piano at the age of 4 and I went to music high school and college so I know a thing or two about this; and this is the most insane performance I have ever seen. I double dog dare you to find anything more impressive. Post your submission in the replies.
hello Yuja first of all I give my big big big salute to ur MASTER who taught u. OMG u r so lucky to have such an excellent Master who has dedicated himself to teach u. At the same time hats off to u for ur beautiful nd excellent play. How much u have struggled to practice nd kept up ur valuable time for this piano. My dear I hope that u may be the the "World's Fastest Piano Player". We could not see ur fingers playing on piano. Left hand u would keep so perfectly, that too without seeing the left hand side. "No words to explain". God bless u.
The more she plays,the better she gets.I never heard this before and love it. She will dominate the whole piece in a short time, as she always has with the most difficult moments.👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🎶🎼
I watched it with awe and admiration, not knowing who this is, and thinking “yes, great pianism still exists” - then I saw who this is, in their early years... amazing
I would like to learn to play the piano in my retirement and would give anything to play like this, to many injuries, broken bones and arthritis now. You are amazing and so talented, look after those hands.
Oh it's Yuja Wang, thank God... I thought it was a home video of yet another astonishingly gifted prodigy, fitting Piano lessons in between gymnastics, horse dressage, competitive springboard diving, flute, violin and clarinet lessons and homework.
Like my piano teacher always said, keep your hands close to piano when playing a piece like this. It’s nice to study her technique with this piece. Thank you!
Yuja Wang!!! Such passion! Such a restraint towards pedal so early on! Her technique is absolutely perfect for her stature and you can feel she could always push herself just a bit more to play even faster than she already can. Everything about this early performance of her just screams "Prodigy!!!" and it's an astute observation! Her choice of pieces and intensity of playing and at that FEARLESSNESS could rival Horowitz's I daresay. Stellar performance!
Wow, I didn't know who the pianist from the thumbnail but once I started the video I knew right away. Anyway, she plays so effortlessly, yet so precise as well. I'm so jealous of her abilities!
Wow so good to see it again! I remember I saw it years ago and I even didnt know who Yuja Wang was...but I knew she was going to be one of the best in the world.. as she is now! Thanks! much!
Wow you're amazing.... I wonder how many hours you practice in a day..... And who are these idiots who unliked your videos.... Maybe they're disheartened after seeing how good you can play and they realised they can't be as good as you. Poor them.
My goodness! Isn't she *_something!!_* Generally speaking, I don't think that musicians versions improve in any way of theoriginal composer's work - but in this case - eat your heart out, Wolfgang!
@Marius Walther " the chick in this vid looks like a kindergartner." Right. Which is why she's garnered all those awards at such a young age, while he....well I've never heard of him, actually. And here he is playing it: th-cam.com/video/0qG9PZNJI_k/w-d-xo.html He's clearly got the chops, but her tempo is much more on track and well managed, and the clarity of her playing is definitely above his, even allowing for the poor sound quality in his recording. I applaud him for his skill and the originality of his composition, nevertheless. Quite a wonderful achievement.
@Marius Walther When you read that "critical" comment and you know on spot, that the writer is someone who is turning green out of envy, because he will never ever get the level in piano playing that "chick" has.
Wow, the original videos of this were the ones that made me a fan of Yuja Wang in 2008 at age 15 :D I remember the following summer while on vacation in France I found a flyer that said she was playing a concert nearby the next day, so we went. Best concert of my life! :D This video also inspired me to learn Rondo alla Turca. Good memories. Thanks for reuploading!
YUJA: “I’m not sure if ready, whatever…”
: plays it perfectly 💜💜
"Idk if I'm ready but whatever"
*Proceeds to play pretty much perfect and insanely complex and precise piece*
Jesus at 19 I was happy to have made it out of my house w/ my shoe laces tied.
Before I discovered Yuja Wang I was broke and drinking myself to death. Now I'm Ninety thousand dollars in debt and hooked on horse tranquilizers.
I am speechless. You are a heavenly gift to this world.
Those 16th note octaves on the left hand,.... LET'S GO! That's aweosome.
There’s no words to describe how talented this young woman is. I’m speechless and in awe.
She's a phenom. She has the skills of 3 amazing pianists.

This is a very old video though. I remember seeing this as far back as 2011.
@Ryan Sun
Agreed.
She is perfect.
Sometimes I wonder if she is realy human...
@@JeanPierreZeidman
For sure she is, she plays better than robots. :)
Yujia? is this her youtube channel?
"Wow!" is the word I want to say!
And I want to say it again and again and again! And I want to say it each time louder!
😭... 12 years u played fantaisie impromptu very perfect..
and now you are goddest of piano player 😘
This couldn't more 2007 if it tried - the highlights, the flip phone, the phone zooms...
I had the incredible privilege of seeing her in person at the Hollywood bowl several years ago. It was a life changing experience to see her play first hand.
How did your life change after that?
I am all Yuja’s fan. A gift from God....

such a precious video of her playing in 2007!!!! Long live Yuja Wang!!!!! So fortunate to live the same era with the virtuoso!!!
She obviously has natural talent and hours of practice .I could never play like that thank you young lady.
Hours????? Try decades
@@Kaspen82 Don't be silly she isn't old enough for decades she was only 19
hours lmaoo
I Love This amazing Young Lady 💘

Wow !!! Most articulate piano fingers ever. Five Stars!
Mind blowing, Thank-you
she has to be one of the greatest pianists to ever walk the earth. no doubt
This happens when you "try" to play the Turkish march after too many hours spent on listz' s trascendentale etudes... wow!
.
You nailed it. Best way to explain it. a🤣
Yup, and the result is trash
Sergio Sergio lolol,
@@debussy843 That is a pathetic comment.
Never tired of watching this. Over a few years.
So amazing to watch her looking back and see how far she has come from these early days
What a privilege to just be there with her and enjoy such a performance. I even like the acoustics of the piano filling up the room. I really hate concert hall echo.

This version of TH-cam has been view a lot more than 2,000,000 times.... YJW is one of the best ... no doubt.
Absolutely incredible. I wish Vladimir Horowitz could have lived to see this.
Wow so fast hands ! Great improvisation of Mozarts Turkish March ! YUJA WANG is the living legend !
Not a impro, the Volodos version, sheets are easily findable, but working on this is hard if didn't play at least 1h / day for 10+ years :p
I found myself moved after beholding this phenom. I lit my piano on fire, my house burned down and I had to move. 🔥
I hope she will compose some pieces for future generations. As for this generation she would be the only one to cope with her own works
I thought the House of Flying Fingers was first released way before 2016. Yep, the original version does not have Carmen ❤Thanks for the HD version 👍

Thanks! much!
Luu.-uhv it!!! And I love her innocent look here over how she dresses now for concerts. I think she looks way prettier here.
Immensely talented and positively gorgeous. If human cloning becomes a thing; I'd like one, please.
Me too !
If all of us where cloning, it would be like:”Hi I’m Jack. “Me to !

Thank you for the music....ranked among the top100 must listen before I die. Amazing skill!

Truly a gifted pianist. Notice that she plays purely from memory, rarely watches the music score.
What a legend! Lovely Yuja, forever Yuja!
Why does nobody mention that this is Arcadi Volodos' Turkish March?
Maybe they are unfamiliar on the arrangement or maybe they just don't care on who arranged the piece. 😂

check out the cellphone, maybe 10 generations older from now. Yuja was so young that time, and now she is even more attractive.

Words don't describe.
That was amazing...I only play the original version. I had to re learn it over the past 60 years.
