You're watching the first of 2 parts to this commentary on Yunchan's Liszt performance. What started out as a modest review ballooned into a video of... transcendental proportions. Editing this has been much more complicated than the Rach video, so - unlike Yunchan - I WILL take a break after Mazeppa before launching into Feux Follets and finishing the set. Thank you all for your patience and stay tuned!
I like your idea of introducing Yunchan to Liszt and his contemporaries. In fact, we can stop wondering about Yunchan's performances and interpretations of Liszt's work if we accept the fact that Liszt has been reborn as a Korean boy coming back to demonstrate to the world lost in digital noise on what true music sounds like and how it is played. Get it ;-)?
I didnt quite expect that you would so this! Cuz I know your channel is basically a teaching platform not review focused. I am so grateful that you did this for us though. I can't imagine how tricky it was to edit this video. Thank you Tonebase! Really appreciate that. First thing I push the 'like' button and then start.
Reinforcing your 'rock star' metaphor, when I heard Yunchan was going to be performing at Northwestern University outside of Chicago, I immediately called the box office to find out when tickets would become available. As though it were the very last concert of the Rolling Stones, I set my alarm for 1AM (I live in Brooklyn, so had to account for the time difference) when the box office opened and made an online purchase of a 3 performance series which included Yunchan (I will give away the other two tickets). Third row, keyboard side! In anticipation of this performance, which will include Liszt's 2 Legends of St. Francis and the Dante Sonata (none of which I am familiar with), I started listening to comparative performances (sometimes following the score). Among these was a video made 2 years ago of Yunchan playing the Dante (at 16!). What I have learned with all of this listening (and I too have fallen down the rabbit hole of searching for every available YL performance) is that in even the simplest phrase of a few spare notes, Yunchan delivers a master class in voicing, phrasing, color, character, drama. My only regret is that at almost 77, I will not live long enough to follow his career into its full maturity. But for now, I settle for daily doses of Yunchan. 10-22-2022 I wanted to add a few comments now that I have seen Yunchan Lim's performance at Northwestern on 10/20/2022 (flying from New York just for the day). At almost 77, I have been going to piano recitals for over 60 years and I have heard many of the greats - Horowitz, Rubenstein, Serkin. Pollini, DeLaRocha, Brendel et al. The only other performance I would place in the category of Lim's was hearing a solo recital of Maria Callas in 1974 who, with the power and drama of her voice, was able to communicate the majestic scope of opera without orchestra, other singers, costumes or sets. I have never seen a pianist combine with almost terrifying abandon truly explosive energy with feathery delicacy. There is a short simple passage of just a few notes in the middle of the Dante that he takes with two hands (most play it with one, it is so simple), but for me it was like discovering a black hole in the middle of the Universe. It is an example of how he can find in the smallest detail, unimaginable power. And as bonus, I met a lovely young Korean woman named Yun who had flown in from Virginia. We had an engaging conversation and she was kind enough to give me a CD of Lim's Dante performance (along with the Moonlight Sonata) that is only available in Korea. Thank you Yun, I enjoyed meeting you and hope we will meet again (maybe at the New York Philharmonic performance - to be announced - in May).
I envy you. How lucky you are to get the ticket with a good seat. I'm sure you'll have a long life and have a good health to travel around for Yunchan's concerts.
@@jennyjeong9333 I think he's referring to the one in San Jose. It technically sold out in 1 minute and 20 seconds...at least that's what the guy in charge of the box office told me when I emailed him after I was unable to get a single ticket though I was online for 30 minutes before they went on sale. Others grabbed the seats much quicker than my fingers could click on them. It felt like I was competing against concert pianists on their computer keyboards. 😂
Awesome video! At my age I'm in Love with Yunchan! He is absolutely beautiful from Inside out! From the moment I'm home,he's on the screen. I must not just to listen to him, but see his big brown eyes, beautiful lips and sweet smile and of course gorgeous hair, his fellings, sound, thinking, concentration and passion, when he's playing, His playing is the last thing before I go to bed and the first thing in the morning is listen to him. I'm obsessed with him, but no regrets what soever!
+ He’s humble and respectful towards composers, his teacher, conductors, other musicians and audiences. He’s also very philosophical and mature. I’m in love with this amazing artist.
I enjoy your FB posts. Keep them coming! Incidentally, is there any particular pianist you were drawn to before Yunchan hit you over the head? ;) Maybe those Yunchan has cited as his own inspiration?
I've never liked the transcendentals much and really struggled to listen to them in one go until Yunchan. The comments are spot on, he declutters all the historical baggage of the Russian powerhouse bangers and finds the music again. Remarkable and I was hooked.
A little history for this GOAT (at least it was for me) recital. I drove Yunchan home after. I ask him how he thought it went. He replied "I don't know. I will have to listen first." Another bit of history. In the days prior to this recital, he practiced passages from Feux Follets the most.
I can't wait to see part 2 already. I can now understand why you were late. If we can watch videos like this with quality and your effort, we don't really care how much it takes to video to come out. I really appreciate the effort you guys putting in a video. You deserves thousands of likes.
What a GREEAAAT VIDEO!!! Many things i love in one place - Cliburn, Yunchan, Liszt, Tonebase analysis, great interviews and references, great editing and clips!! It all works!!!
I wasn't a big fan of classical music, but since I saw Yunchan Lim's performances, I've become one. Your video made me learn more about this world and enjoy it more deeply. Thank you so much.
A brilliant, informative, and hilarious video - wonderful. Thanks so much. Y-L has really made these pieces an epic, but with everything else in there too. I hope he puts them on disc - or the Cliburn CD is of this. But they'll need a little box set - his rounds were all so good. What a talent to behold.
I think now you can call yourself a researcher. What a vast amount of information you reviewed and incorporated in this video, I really appreciate this masterpiece (in the review field) 😂 thank you so much!
윤찬은 선율선을 안정감 있고 아름답게 일정속도를 유지하며 다음으로 자연스럽게 이동하는 반면 하오첸장은 리스트의 운지법으로 연주하므로써 말발굽소리는 표현했을지 모르지만 전체적인 선율 즉 음악적표현부족, 느려진 속도, 페달 사용도 좀 부담스럽고 베레조브스키, 다닐트리포노프도 윤찬과 같은 운지법을 사용, 악보에도 리스트의 운지법은 인체공학적으로 맞지않으므로 반드시 지킬 필요없다고 되어 있음...개인적인 견해지만 전 윤찬이 속도나 음악적표현도 최고, 연주모습조차 너무 이쁘고 최고라고 생각됩니다. 윤찬의 연주는 자연스러움과 따뜻함입니다. 윤찬콘텐츠 올려주셔서 감사합니다.
Yunchan's play is always 3 dimensional. I think he can out all the colors and different sound piano can produce making it plays several different instruments. I love the analysis and your ability to invite professionals in this and Rach 3 video. It brings me more clarity on what really makes the difference of Yunchan's play. Thank you so much for your hard work. Your video is as much enjoyable as I enjoy the music itself.
17:00 "... difficulties have no dominion. And only the music prevails." Thanks to Yunchan, I happen to know the 'Tonebase" channel, and I really appreciate your content! Your content is fun, educational, and even spiritual! 😀
잘 봤어요 2편 기대중! 더불어 한국어 자막도 기다립니다 ㅠㅠ 저도 리스트는 막연히 시끄럽고 멜로디가 귀에 익지 않는다고만 생각해서 멀리하고 있었는데 임윤찬이 친 이후로는 완전히 중독됐어요. 임윤찬의 매력은 같은 곡이어도 멜로디가 귀에 꽂히도록 만들고 중독되게 하는 데에 있는 것 같아요. 한가지 아쉬운 점은 우리나라에도 우수한 음악가들이 많을텐데 왜 우리나라 음악가들에 의한 해석 영상같은건 없는걸까요.. 기껏해야 와 잘친다 하는 정도의 리액션 영상 뿐이고.. 누가 좀 만들어줬으면!! 물 들어올 때 노 저어야지 뭐하나 몰라요
Being a BTS fan and a classical music fan / listener, I do feel like he is right now the "BTS" per say of the classical world!! I read that his San Jose concert was sold out in 10 seconds. Which is what happens with many BTS concerts as well. Gone in seconds. So when you did that note at the beginning it really made me laugh! Great video!!!
The word 'transcendental' describes a place located far above the mundane level where bone and sinew do their work, and dwells within a spiritual realm where difficulties have no dominion. And only the music prevails. WOW...
Thank you Ben, finally delivering this wonderful video. It's much more worth waiting. I can't imagine how much time and efforts you pour into making this video. I really appreciated. (esp your selfless decision to take role as naked Mazeppa to recreate the historic event ,only for the viewer's deeper understanding of the piece.) Dyeing to watch Part 2 but you deserve a break, I will patiently wait till you drop the part 2. Thank you again and I like your sense of humor & dry wit which was hilarious.
Thank you very much for creating such an incredible video that analyzes YunChan's playing of Liszt! It's so fun and educational to watch and I really enjoyed it! Can't wait for the 2nd part! Good Job! 😀😀😀
I play the piano but I dont know much about the intricacies of piano recitals. But this guy makes understanding the music that much easier to understand and enjoy. Really appreciate these videos and the inserts are hella funny
I watched other pianists perform. The Mazeppa score editor said: "It is absolutely inadmissable to facilate fingering, as a contrary to Liszt's ideas." Yunchan's chosen fingering is also adopted by other pianists(Berezovsky, Trifonov) which is considered to be aimed at considering the melody. Haochen's performance is very special, but Yunchan made a different choice to improve the musical perfection of Mazeppa. Honestly, it's true that Yunchan's performance is much better if we listen to the overall performance. Anyway, thank you for uploading this video!
Wow, such a compliment from Mr.Bernstein, he would be honored. He definitely has a bright future ahead and the potential to become the best of the next generation.
I think metal-head like Liszt print shirts was suit to you and this video well thanks to VCC, I found 2 precious ones. firstly Lim Yunchan , secondly this channel Tone Base. what a quality again. Ben, your sense of humor and music is so precious and adorable.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy!! I haven't watched this one yet but I know I will be watching it at least 20 times (conservative estimate) like I did the Rach 3 review video... ! ☺️
I remember his previous interview about his Transcendental etuide recital. Yunchan said that he studies for Liszt music, setting up "logic" first, and thinking about having an "orchestration" behind the piano. He also said that the more he tried do something technically, the less complete he experienced, so he threw it all away on the stage and only thought about music. He wants to leave only music on the stage without himself or the audience. He defined the value of the existence of music as 'sympathy' and 'thorth', and emphasized the importance of the player's 'design'. What a clever pianist!
July 7th is my BDay! And anyone who’s a Callas fan can be considered my bosom friend forever…….! Yunchan can still wait a few more years before I take this solemn vow!
That is the idea. I made the Yunchan/Liszt videos because so many people were requesting it. What pianists would you like to see analyzed in a video like this? Any recordings in particular?
@@kingalou1 hmm with all due resoect I just didn't get that excited over him tho... not all competition winners excite to the same extent... 🤔 it's not about the competition but the performance itself...
I enjoyed every minute of it! Just like the Rach 3 review, it helps a humble listener like me to understand better and appreciate his performance EVEN MORE!!! Can't wait for the part 2! But please take your time. I can't imagine how hard and time consuming it is to make a video like this. Thank you, Ben!!! 👏👏👏
It's good you added criticism.... but, I'm sure Yunchan did the different fingerings intentionally. There's nothing he does without thought behind it. I just heard him live in person this Sunday.... he doesn't indeed do the "two dimensional" banging of the instrument.... the sound is powerful and full without the ugly hammering effect.
No doubt he did it intentionally! But I do wonder if he was aware when learning it that the fingering printed in the score was Liszt's, because Yunchan seems like the kind of guy who would follow Liszt's suggestion. It does make a different sound. But, his performance is still captivating, of course - this is just a detail.
@@tonebasePiano I'm sure his teacher, Mr. Sohn, did discuss the original fingering with him. There is no way he wouldn't have been aware that this was Liszt's own fingering. He also researches every piece he plays very diligently.
@@tonebasePiano Would love to hear his thought behind it. Objectively, I enjoy the original fingering as it sounds clearer to me, but it's all about the intention.
너무나 흥미롭고도 재치있고 .. 또 내용도 엄청 풍부한 이런 해석을 하실수있는지 정말 놀라게됩니다 톤베이스 사이트는 고도의 여러테크닉을 포함해서 우리에게 많은 요소들을 짚어주고 미처 생각이 닿지않는 많은 디테일까지 일깨워주는 , 정말 유익하고도 재미있는 한편의 단편영화 제작소라고 칭하고 싶어요 진심으로 감사드립니다
I really like this video❤ my husband recommended me to watch it, they were talking about Yunchan as exactly same as you. I agreed about his tone as colour and transparency etc.. I was not a Liszt mania, but now I’m a absolutely Liszt… Yunchan mania 😊 I also liked the story of the Romantic era, so imaginable!! I want to listen that he plays with a Bechstein 🎹
As for the hair part, I am not sure if Ben understood the Korean interview correctly... Yunchan wanted to get his hair done similar to the Liszt, but it wasn’t easy as his hair is naturally wavy and his friends and parents advised against it.. At the end Yunchan had to settle with only straightening his hair. 🤣💜🎹
@@kcho777 Reading the translation, I'm pretty sure Ben understood alrighty. Yet I find the Beatles/BTS hair comparison more hilarious. Funny and spot on. 😅
2:14 Glad he didn’t play Bach…. 23:35 NOT tired at all. Just keep doing it please. 27:45 My eyes…!!! My eyes….!!!!! 29:45 In one intetview, 윤찬 himself told this was one of the most diffifult moments.
.... and I thought it was just us Koreans who were swooning in the most exaggerated terms over the magnificent Yunchan Lim! So glad to find out we're not the only ones combing the Internet for the smallest dose of Yunchan on a daily basis. Feeling quite relieved! 😌
You're leaving us on such a cliffhanger! We need part two! 😅 THANK YOU for this amazing content man. I've never enjoyed classical music content as much as yours.
Only Liszt could write etudes as musical and symphonic as these. I'm wondering if there are any analogous feats on other instruments to performing the 12 Transcendental Etudes on piano. Maybe performing Paganini's 24 caprices or Ysaye's six sonatas for solo violin would be comparable? But those are musically very different from the Transcendental Etudes. The Paganini caprices are definitely the least musically fulfilling of the three, which is probably why very few violinists perform them all live (but many record them). Speaking strictly about technique, they're probably around the same level, however very few violinists would dare perform those sets in concert. I can only think of one violinist who regularly performs the entire Ysaye Sonata cycle, Kerson Leong. In fact, Yunchan Lim reminds me of him.
진짜 너무 유쾌하고 유익한 최고의 분석...다른 분 영상도 봤었는데, 아마도 서곡에서 crescendo에 대한 해석이 다른 위대한 연주자들과 달랐다는 생각이 드네요. 윤찬은 표기가 명확히 시작하는 부분에 신경을 준 것 같아요. 그래서 정말 색다르고 매력적인 느낌... 마제파도 정말 명료하죠. 두번째 파트 기다리겠습니다!!!❤️ +) I watched other pianists perform.

Your review of yoon chan Lim's performance is so high quality that I am surprised to see it. I'm especially surprised to find his interview in the corner. Maybe you're a perfectionist. I look forward to more reviews of yoon chan Lim's performance.
I must be watching this a second time because there were some scenes of naked reminders of someone spinning around in a chair. Anyway, so much good information to take in about notes and the different ways to phrase them. I had no idea everyone played them so differently. I can't really discern all that without the help of tonebase breaking it all down. He does it in such a fun way it makes you want to listen & watch. Thanks tonebase, I like all the Yunchan Lim worshipping videos. He deserves it. Oh....and thanks for all the history lessons about the composers and what they were thinking at the time. I love the history surrounding the music.

한가지 아쉬운 점은 우리나라에도 우수한 음악가들이 많을텐데 왜 우리나라 음악가들에 의한 해석 영상같은건 없는걸까요.. 기껏해야 와 잘친다 하는 정도의 리액션 영상 뿐이고.. 누가 좀 만들어줬으면!! 물 들어올 때 노 저어야지 뭐하나 몰라요
Being a BTS fan and a classical music fan / listener, I do feel like he is right now the "BTS" per say of the classical world!!
I read that his San Jose concert was sold out in 10 seconds. Which is what happens with many BTS concerts as well. Gone in seconds. So when you did that note at the beginning it really made me laugh! Great video!!!
💜🎹💟
I watched San Jose recital in paid live streaming and it was amazing!
BORAHEA ARMY ~💜
I have been a fan of BTS since 2016, and take my words; the talent level of individual BTS members is nowhere near Yunchan's.
적절한 비유라 할수없음
A genius gives much pleasure to the world
The word 'transcendental' describes a place located far above the mundane level where bone and sinew do their work, and dwells within a spiritual realm where difficulties have no dominion. And only the music prevails.
WOW...
Thank you Ben, finally delivering this wonderful video. It's much more worth waiting. I can't imagine how much time and efforts you pour into making this video. I really appreciated. (esp your selfless decision to take role as naked Mazeppa to recreate the historic event ,only for the viewer's deeper understanding of the piece.) Dyeing to watch Part 2 but you deserve a break, I will patiently wait till you drop the part 2. Thank you again and I like your sense of humor & dry wit which was hilarious.
Thank you very much for creating such an incredible video that analyzes YunChan's playing of Liszt! It's so fun and educational to watch and I really enjoyed it! Can't wait for the 2nd part! Good Job! 😀😀😀
I play the piano but I dont know much about the intricacies of piano recitals. But this guy makes understanding the music that much easier to understand and enjoy. Really appreciate these videos and the inserts are hella funny
I watched other pianists perform. The Mazeppa score editor said: "It is absolutely inadmissable to facilate fingering, as a contrary to Liszt's ideas." Yunchan's chosen fingering is also adopted by other pianists(Berezovsky, Trifonov) which is considered to be aimed at considering the melody. Haochen's performance is very special, but Yunchan made a different choice to improve the musical perfection of Mazeppa. Honestly, it's true that Yunchan's performance is much better if we listen to the overall performance. Anyway, thank you for uploading this video!
Wow, such a compliment from Mr.Bernstein, he would be honored. He definitely has a bright future ahead and the potential to become the best of the next generation.
I think metal-head like Liszt print shirts was suit to you and this video well
thanks to VCC, I found 2 precious ones. firstly Lim Yunchan , secondly this channel Tone Base. what a quality again. Ben, your sense of humor and music is so precious and adorable.
i never imagined that i got to love Mazepa. Thanks to you, i could understand Liszt's Mazepa and enjoy it .
I'm alredy dying for the next video for a Vision (No. 6). Thank you in advance.
And I'm waiting for No.9 😭
I am dying for 11-12 😭
시간 가는 줄도 모를만큼 재밌게 봤습니다.
(임윤찬 피아니스트의 리스트헤어 해프닝을 여기서 들을 줄이야...)
임윤찬피아니스트의 멋진 연주와 더불어 리스트와 그의 연습곡에 더욱 빠져들게 됐습니다. 영상 올려주셔서 감사합니다.
23,000 views in one day! Great video, Ben. Thanks for all that you do for the ToneBase community.
"Same haircut"
"She goes to Juilliard?...Why isn't she practicing...oh, she's a singer!"
Keep up the amazing funny, Ben!
Oh boy oh boy oh boy!! I haven't watched this one yet but I know I will be watching it at least 20 times (conservative estimate) like I did the Rach 3 review video... ! ☺️
Enjoyed watching this video. I find myself keep laughing and I just can’t wait to watch part 2!! Thank you for creating such great videos. 👍
Thank you, tonebase Piano, I learned so much. I appreciate all your videos as they help me understand the music I love so much more.
I remember his previous interview about his Transcendental etuide recital. Yunchan said that he studies for Liszt music, setting up "logic" first, and thinking about having an "orchestration" behind the piano. He also said that the more he tried do something technically, the less complete he experienced, so he threw it all away on the stage and only thought about music. He wants to leave only music on the stage without himself or the audience. He defined the value of the existence of music as 'sympathy' and 'thorth', and emphasized the importance of the player's 'design'. What a clever pianist!
a true artist... not just 'clever" - clever doesn't begin to capture him...
... At age 18 the only "designs" I had was on my high school crush. What maturity.
Oh wow…
I really do like your videos. Thks !Perhaps could you continue with subtitles ? Me, poor french singer…(find me in TH-cam 😉)
We love you!!
This was so entertaining, loved it!
It was just announced that this performance will be made available on CD and on various streaming services on July 7, 2023
July 7th is my BDay! And anyone who’s a Callas fan can be considered my bosom friend forever…….! Yunchan can still wait a few more years before I take this solemn vow!
I was worth the wait.
Hook on Limzt playing and your energetic video.
What a great-depth review of Lim's brilliant performance! Thanks a lot to tonebase Piano.
너무 좋다...
그냥 들어도 감동..감동인데
설명까지 더해지니 감동이 배가되고 너무 좋다.
다음편이 너무 기다려진다.
Salute to the breadth and depth and color of your interpretation❤❤
Fantastic video. Abrupt ending. Looking forward to part 2.
I adore these videos. With all my love to yunchan, I would love to see them about other iconic pianists too!
Exactly. People are seriously obsessed over this guy
That is the idea. I made the Yunchan/Liszt videos because so many people were requesting it.
What pianists would you like to see analyzed in a video like this? Any recordings in particular?
@@tonebasePiano what about Bruce Liu, the winner of Chopin Competition 2021 in Warsaw?;)
@@tonebasePiano I would love to see Cyprien Katsaris analysed maybe his Chopin Sonata or Liszt Sonata they are seriously special
@@kingalou1 hmm with all due resoect I just didn't get that excited over him tho... not all competition winners excite to the same extent... 🤔 it's not about the competition but the performance itself...
와!! 처음부터 끝까지 너무 유익한 영상입니다. 많이 웃었고, 많이 감동했어요. 이 멋진 영상을 만들어내기 위해 얼마나 많은 시간과 정성이 들어갔을지.. 진심으로 깊이 감사드립니다. 2부도 설레는 마음으로 기대할게요. 👍🏻🙏
조약돌님 여기서도 뵙네요. 음악을 끔찍할 정도로 사랑하며, 윤찬군의 behind story를 알리는 데 애쓰셨던 님의 순수무구한 열정에 경의의 인사를 보냅니다. 늘 행복하시길 기원합니다.
@@갈색쁘띠 아~ 갈색쁘띠님~ 인사 나눠주셔서 진심 감사해요. 윤찬님 음악 열정에 이끌려 클래식을 사랑하게 되었고, 클래식 공연을 다니는 취미가 생겼을 정도로 제 삶이 많이 바뀌었답니다. 임윤찬 피아니스트의 음악을 들을 수 있어 감사하고 행복한 일상이에요. ☺️🙏
조약돌님 오랜만에
글 올리셨네요.👍
반갑습니다.
@@박정현-p2j 네~ 저도 반갑습니다. 톤베이스 영상은 언제나 기대하게 만드네요. 진심 최곱니다! ☺️👍🏻
I enjoyed every minute of it!
Just like the Rach 3 review, it helps a humble listener like me to understand better and appreciate his performance EVEN MORE!!!
Can't wait for the part 2!
But please take your time.
I can't imagine how hard and time consuming it is to make a video like this.
Thank you, Ben!!! 👏👏👏
this is an incredible video!!
저는 윤찬님의 쇼팽에튀드 p.25 전곡이나 리스트 초절 전곡에서 처음 알게됐어요. 이 곡들이 단순히 테크닉과시용이 아니라 정말 음악적으로 너무나 아름다운 곡이었구나..
우와, 드디어 한글자막이 나오네요 너무너무 감사합니다 ^^ 쵝오
너무너무너무 잘 보았어요.
중간중간 연기도 ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
알수록 위대함이 커지는 임윤찬님
Thank you for the detailed and humorous explanation of yunchan pianist at Tonbase^^
It's good you added criticism.... but, I'm sure Yunchan did the different fingerings intentionally. There's nothing he does without thought behind it.
I just heard him live in person this Sunday.... he doesn't indeed do the "two dimensional" banging of the instrument.... the sound is powerful and full without the ugly hammering effect.
No doubt he did it intentionally! But I do wonder if he was aware when learning it that the fingering printed in the score was Liszt's, because Yunchan seems like the kind of guy who would follow Liszt's suggestion. It does make a different sound. But, his performance is still captivating, of course - this is just a detail.
That horse might be very loved by Mazzeppa . So he drove it gently...
wouldn't be marching or a war.
@@tonebasePiano I'm sure his teacher, Mr. Sohn, did discuss the original fingering with him. There is no way he wouldn't have been aware that this was Liszt's own fingering. He also researches every piece he plays very diligently.
@@shatin96 nice.... that's one way to look at it..... we just need to get a chance to meet him in person and ask!
@@tonebasePiano Would love to hear his thought behind it. Objectively, I enjoy the original fingering as it sounds clearer to me, but it's all about the intention.
Hope to see you interview Yunchan in your video!
Thank you for this amazing review.
i am quite busy to listen just Yunchan's repertories.. thanks tonebase and looking for part 2!!
I need part two. And I need it quick!!!
I enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks from 🇨🇦
Knock knock!! I am really looking forward to watch Part2!!!!!!😅
Clap!!!!!!!!!! PART2 NEEDED! thank you~
Thank you so much tonebase!!!
너무나 흥미롭고도 재치있고 .. 또 내용도 엄청 풍부한 이런 해석을 하실수있는지 정말 놀라게됩니다 톤베이스 사이트는 고도의 여러테크닉을 포함해서 우리에게 많은 요소들을 짚어주고 미처 생각이 닿지않는 많은 디테일까지 일깨워주는 , 정말 유익하고도 재미있는 한편의 단편영화 제작소라고 칭하고 싶어요 진심으로 감사드립니다
정말 오랫동안 기다렸습니다.
한국어자막 다시한번 부탁드립니다.
또한 영혼을 갈아넣은듯한 영상 만들어주셔서
진심으로 감사합니다^^
Wow! dae bak!!! zzang! 🥰
다음편 기대하고 있어요~^^
I enjoyed every second of your dissection including the cheeky appetizer with Beatlesmania 🤓
great video! nice to watch your analyzes, good job
편집 너무 재밌고 유익하네요^^ 덕분에 곡을 더 풍성하게 즐길 수 있어요 ~ 다음 편이 너무 기다려집니다!!
Thank you, tonebase Piano.
Thank you for your high-quality video :) I've waited for this
I really like this video❤ my husband recommended me to watch it, they were talking about Yunchan as exactly same as you. I agreed about his tone as colour and transparency etc.. I was not a Liszt mania, but now I’m a absolutely Liszt… Yunchan mania 😊 I also liked the story of the Romantic era, so imaginable!! I want to listen that he plays with a Bechstein 🎹
Love the sense of humor. Especially the hair part.. 😅 Never enjoyed more classical-music-related clips other than this. Thanks, Ben!
As for the hair part, I am not sure if Ben understood the Korean interview correctly... Yunchan wanted to get his hair done similar to the Liszt, but it wasn’t easy as his hair is naturally wavy and his friends and parents advised against it.. At the end Yunchan had to settle with only straightening his hair. 🤣💜🎹
@@kcho777 Reading the translation, I'm pretty sure Ben understood alrighty. Yet I find the Beatles/BTS hair comparison more hilarious. Funny and spot on. 😅
2:14 Glad he didn’t play Bach….
23:35 NOT tired at all. Just keep doing it please.
27:45 My eyes…!!! My eyes….!!!!!
29:45 In one intetview, 윤찬 himself told this was one of the most diffifult moments.
.... and I thought it was just us Koreans who were swooning in the most exaggerated terms over the magnificent Yunchan Lim! So glad to find out we're not the only ones combing the Internet for the smallest dose of Yunchan on a daily basis. Feeling quite relieved! 😌
You're leaving us on such a cliffhanger! We need part two! 😅
THANK YOU for this amazing content man. I've never enjoyed classical music content as much as yours.
Only Liszt could write etudes as musical and symphonic as these. I'm wondering if there are any analogous feats on other instruments to performing the 12 Transcendental Etudes on piano. Maybe performing Paganini's 24 caprices or Ysaye's six sonatas for solo violin would be comparable? But those are musically very different from the Transcendental Etudes. The Paganini caprices are definitely the least musically fulfilling of the three, which is probably why very few violinists perform them all live (but many record them). Speaking strictly about technique, they're probably around the same level, however very few violinists would dare perform those sets in concert. I can only think of one violinist who regularly performs the entire Ysaye Sonata cycle, Kerson Leong. In fact, Yunchan Lim reminds me of him.
진짜 너무 유쾌하고 유익한 최고의 분석...다른 분 영상도 봤었는데, 아마도 서곡에서 crescendo에 대한 해석이 다른 위대한 연주자들과 달랐다는 생각이 드네요. 윤찬은 표기가 명확히 시작하는 부분에 신경을 준 것 같아요. 그래서 정말 색다르고 매력적인 느낌... 마제파도 정말 명료하죠. 두번째 파트 기다리겠습니다!!!❤️

Your review of yoon chan Lim's performance is so high quality that I am surprised to see it. I'm especially surprised to find his interview in the corner. Maybe you're a perfectionist. I look forward to more reviews of yoon chan Lim's performance.
BTW Yunchan Lim is the way he wants, rather than yoon chan Lim. Have a good day! ❤️🎹
Amazing commentary!!!!!!! Thank you!!
Wunderkid beyond belief. How is it even possible to play like him at such a young age??
Before Yunchan , a piano was a piano.
But now, a piano became a forte'.
Thank you so much!! Kudos to you!!!!!
I must be watching this a second time because there were some scenes of naked reminders of someone spinning around in a chair. Anyway, so much good information to take in about notes and the different ways to phrase them. I had no idea everyone played them so differently. I can't really discern all that without the help of tonebase breaking it all down. He does it in such a fun way it makes you want to listen & watch. Thanks tonebase, I like all the Yunchan Lim worshipping videos. He deserves it. Oh....and thanks for all the history lessons about the composers and what they were thinking at the time. I love the history surrounding the music.
