I don’t play piano and my knowledge of classical music is somewhat limited, but these videos are so interesting and comforting for some reason 💕
Thank you, I'm glad! 😊
Bird's songs are so pure and free. What a way to center before playing. The best, I'll wager.
You are an inspiration to this 81 year old man. Love you posts. Learn so much. Thank you for taking the time to share your life with us
What character you have to cope with all that stress, and then the responsibility of the concerts. We wonder when your bags did turn up! We feel for you so much.
You look beautiful Tiffany! Congratulations 👏🎉 on your strength, your willpower, intelligence , love and desire to share and grow! May God continue to bless you!
I really love your black dress! It looks incredible :) I love the ball room too! Your videos make me feel so calm, I love them :) thank you!
My favorite piano concerto :)
You looked wonderful in your new dress ! You have some good musicians to perform with !
Its late but I'll listen for you
In my fondest moments. Thank
You for being a great artist.
So nice of you to share this experience. At this level of awakening every details is to consider and I feel that you make the right choices. Please continue to make known the beauty of music.
You’re so what of lucky to discover more of German culture than I ever been able to as German. But you earn it and deserve it as you a an embassador for classic music and you show with your playing that there’s still beauty and hope in this world.
Brahms’ piano concertos are the best
Thank you, Tiffany Poon, for sharing this musical experience with your audience!
Thank you Tiffany for this video ❤❤
真的很欣賞你！無論遇到什麼事都可以冷靜面對，而且可以抵抗著焦慮去把事情做好。
Hi Tiffany,
As a long-term Patreon of yours I’m so pleased and happy to see this video.
It takes me back to the times before covid and I was fascinated to see all your thoughts and prep.
You’re too nice and professional to ‘demand’ a technician although I’m sure many others would have done.
Your beloved Steinway B is waiting for you back home and I’m sure it’s tone must be getting very nicely played in by now!
Supporting you as always and thank you for such exquisite music.
Amazing journey
Thank you for sharing! Those feelings before concert...They are unforgettable)
In the end; it's always your talent and the love of a good piano which is your home. Your stuff, your things, they don't matter, they are not your talent. Your parents must be so proud of you, your fans certainly are. Sooner or later all Steinways will give in to your kind heart, this one did even though it needed coaxing. Thanks for the video.
Brahms D minor. Fantastic.
Tiffany's videos are among the best & "most watchable" on TH-cam! It's like being invited to actually join her for a while, as she approaches her concert.
Merci 🌺

What a great vlog! I wished I had your video recording and editing skills.
you look beautifuli that dress. Very elegant
Im always a bit sad when you come to play here in Germany, but never here in the south west of Germany. Guess there weren’t any great composers born here at Baden-Württemberg 😅
Hola tiffani poon tu eres un gran pianista yo soy admirador mucho tiempo megusta su estilo de tocar cuando ensaya tambien bueno Eso todo amiga pianista Uste es orige de un gra pais que es china yo mellamo jorge santiago de chile hao amiga tiffani
Damn those airlines!
Your videos are so informative and entertaining. Did you ever get your baggage?
Congratulations on your career!👏🎹
Jugendstil = Tiffany Style 🙂
Trill sometimes sounds like a whisk. Difficult exercise ;-)
If possible steer clear of the UK, it’s as organized as Boris Johnson’s hair.
11:42 Thank you for working hard to make these videos! Editing, filming and performing can be stressful, i really appreciate the love you put to these things.
Especially when you have Brahms 1 to play too! (you're in good shape for this Tiffany--with or without your bag)
Your playing of Schumann's 'Pleading Child' at the start of the video is beautiful!
Thank you!
A beautiful GRWM video! Thanks for all the (editing and otherwise) work you did for us who can't come to your concerts. Looking forward to the next one! 🤗
Hi Tiffany, I remember some time ago you (Together with Classical) were working on some sort of social media for classical music. I was wondering if you were still working on this and if you need any help! Would love to help with such a project because I feel like it'd be great to have a place where classical music lovers can come to and talk :)
The borrowed dress looks great on you! Glad you stayed positive. Speaking of tracking luggage, Apple's AirTag is pretty helpful.
you inspire me so much as a pianist and a human being. whenever i feel like giving up, i always come back to your videos, just sit here and watch you talk. i really look up to you
Anybody know where i could get the denim pullover?
You are not only an excellent pianist and a very lovely person. You are also an outstandig photographer and video editor! Love you!
I smiled so much throughout this one. I feel slightly guilty saying that seeing how much of a rollercoaster it was, but your response to it and the cheerfulness of the other people was great to see. I'm really glad the audience responded well. From the little snippets of practice with the orchestra, I would say it was well deserved.
I'm still trying to figure out the one bird call from the first shot in park. It sounds familiar but slightly different. The mallard ducks sound the same. It was nice for you to find the ducklings. I call them little fuzzes. 😋
Oh yay - love seeing a new video posted. And BTW - I really love the transition music you have been doing lately. Loved the scarlett one you used to doi also - but this one is so peaceful. Loved your dress - it was perfect
I love your videos Tiffany! Makes me motivated to practice :)
Don't forget to live also 😉
I love when the piano speak by writing cute conversations on the screen😄
Tiffany these blogs are a masterpiece. And such hard work!! You really take us in a journey. It’s almost like we are living through you.❤
The K325 number with the serial number is undoubtedly an opus or project number for the piano while it was being built at the factory. The serial number is not assigned to the piano until it is complete and ready to ship. The serial number 530537 shows that the piano was completed in 1994. Because Steinway has a factory in New York as well as Hamburg, it is necessary for the two factories to coordinate the serial numbers so that the same serial number is not assigned to two different pianos. Steinway has been doing this for many years. For example, the serial number on my New York 1966 model B is 397112 and the project number is W1406.
You showed that the piano action needed serious regulation. The factory specification for key depth on a Steinway grand piano is 0.4 inches (10.16 millimeters). The let off should be right at the bottom of the key travel, and the key should not rise back up more than halfway at the very most before it is ready to repeat. As you showed, this is important for playing trills and repeated notes. A skilled, experienced technician can do wonders with a good piano action.
The amount of "bounciness" on a Steinway action has changed over the years. Here is a slow-motion film th-cam.com/video/jK2j8NXZ7n0/w-d-xo.html from 1926 of Vladimir Horowitz playing a Steinway grand. Watch the keys closely as they come back up. You can see a lot of bounce. By the way, Horowitz was 23 years old in this film. The Steinway actions have gradually become less bouncy as time has gone on. Modern Steinway actions are not overly bouncy, but they are very quick and responsive when they are properly regulated and well maintained.
The editing is very tasteful, peaceful…. Amazing video
Thank you. It took a long time... Glad you enjoyed it!
The constant inner monologue is so relatable lol 😂
Congrats on the concert!
I really enjoyed this vlog!! The hall was so gorgeous 😍😍 I live in Texas, and hopefully one day you could perform here in Dallas or Fort Worth!🥰
Was just thinking when you are going to upload :))
Thank you for your patience! 🙏
Tiffany wouldn't mention this, but she had not been feeling well until the last few days. 🤧 But now she's got her energy back, and can get caught up. 🙂
I continue to marvel at your willingness to be so vulnerable to such a large audience here on TH-cam - it truly is much appreciated. These videos are such an insightful peek into a professional musician's mind/soul that reaches far beyond just musical skill. Connecting with classical music as a fan (and a sometimes performer) is such a private experience and it often feels like certain emotions and thoughts are inexplicable and others couldn't possibly relate - then I watch your videos and I realise that I am not alone and that music truly is universal.
Thank you for all the work you put into connecting with us in such an honest fashion. I hope you will continue to do so for a long time to come and I, for one, will always be here to enjoy the videos :)
You make Schumann’s music sound sublime. You make that dress look beautiful. Thanks for this vlog. The director’s comments prove you had a great performance.
You are so lovely girl but in fact you are the feminine Beauty herself and I would say you are the best piano interpreter in this day. Thanks to your youtube channel I can heаr my favorite music and I can understand it today ( at least much better than yesterday) Please never gave up and keep your wonderful practice!
I loved your video. I thought it was very well made, even the font on the text thoughtout was beatifully prestine. Maybe in a future life you'll be a motion picture director.
“…by being a cow.” And I just snort-laughed so hard it hurt. Thank you for bringing us into your world and sharing your talent and your humor!
Although I don’t have the opportunity to hear you live (until you tour Australia!) I eagerly await your videos and google for reviews so that I can read about the unique things you bring to your concerts. The insights into your performing life that you share with us are so rewarding for us to enjoy. I really hope this is something you can continue as your career continues to develop. The loss of your suitcase highlighted how we all do get attached to our things ! I really hope there was no favourite annotated score in there 😳
For us who will never have an opportunity to attend your concerts, will you ever play livestream again??? 🥺❤️
I am jealous that you got to be so close to the origins of my favorite composer, Robert Schumann! I hope you were really able to soak in the environment to relax and de-stress.
"Oh hi, there's no wall" absolutely made my day xD Nice to see another GRWM from you, esp. if it's from Germany ;)
Tifffff!!
Hope ure doin good out there! 💙
I love Schumann 💕💕
🤗❤️🙏🎶
If you didn't have the fringe hairstyle you would look like a young Michelle Yeoh.
Thank you for showing your journey. What a lovely destination is Zwickau and the music there.
It was a great pleasure to hear and see you live in concert in Plauen. Thank you so much.
Lovely black performance gown….so elegant. Great to see you, out there, and performing. Absolutely love the Brahms PC1.
What a lovely video. Hope you found your luggage. Such a talented and intelligent young lady. Keep striving xxx
I’m a young pianist and I hope I become as good as you one day :))
Im sure you’ll make it! Just put your heart and mindset to it, you can do it :)
Be kind. Keep striving! 🤗♥️ (And don't compare yourself to anyone...!)
@@TiffanyPoonpianist OMG YOU RESPONDED THANK YOU SO MUCH
@@Lisztener Thank you ❤️
@@bukunmio2338 of course! How long have you been playing?
Such fun watching you, and watching how you have matured since I have been following you. Your third movement of the Brahms concerto is SO pretty!
This is better than anime.
Two fingers crossed for the luggage though.
Love the use of silence from 18:20 onwards - really makes you feel the tension before a performance
Omg Tiffany the Brahms sounds sooo good 😍😍😍😍
Thank you for sharing the experience with us 🙏 😊
your videos make me realize how much influence outside factors can contribute to my music, be it negative or positive. It really reminds me and helps me to better connect with music and have a better appreciation for it when I'm feeling lost.
Those ducks fighting at 23:00 - they're fighting over some female...what else is there to fight about?
Such an elegant video! Thanks for taking us on your journey!!
I hope you have been reunited with your luggage though!! Must have been so stressful!! 😰
thank you so much for this Tiffany! I'm a striving musician who doesn't really have anyone to share my love for music or my feelings before a performance to, so it's really nice to be able to watch your videos. they're very enjoyable, especially the parts about nature
Interestingly, I know exactly what you were going through with your luggage but, for me that is, it isn't the luggage really, for me it was that I had organized everything in detail and now something was out of place and even though it wasn't a life or death situation, the mere fact that my luggage was delayed irritated me even though I fully understood these things just happen.
Longing to hear Tiffany play the Beautiful #7 , .......and the others ,....
I like how you climbed onstage!
What a beautiful venue. I find one of the exciting things about performing is the combination of musical art and visual art in the space, such as the decorations and how that adds to the performance atmosphere😍🎶
I can relate to a lot of things in this video, espaicially the fear because i have a concert myself next week.
I love that sometimes you just need to disconnect and go to nature and i do that too. Before my piano lesson I'm walking and listening to music on my way, but when i go back after the lesson I never listen to music and just think quietly to myself about the lesson itself. It helps me concentrate on my goals as a pianist.
Thx for a great video❤
I was very sorry that I was not able to watch the Brahms concert live, but all these videos you uploaded comforted me. Both GRWM video and the practice videos on Patreon. Thank you very much! I feel very lucky to follow and support such a talented and at the same time so generous musician.
My favorite part of the video, says everything about you and why I love to watch: "...I Love playing Piano!" /RayK
Well done Tiffany! You do amazing work!
How wonderful to be taken along for the ride. You handled your trials and tribulations very well, I have to say. The Laughing Thrush at the end is so cheery!☮️❤️🦋
I wish you'd stay in London a bit longer. It would be cool to meet at a public piano or the Steinway showroom. I'm making progress with Scenes from Childhood - really quite tricky though.
Those hall seem an bankgof souch town to zwishenroofen maybe Nur you sit down has an mild leder sofas(maybe? mach to faren and naw?warum gegluklight become neben belibtere common spot,where is piano?bankgof in my glove,sonst..
'This is not my dress', a funny moment. Really like the identity challenge, I'll start doing that myself. You're videos are always uplifting and really feel like we are on the journey with you.
Great video. Emotional rollercoaster. And you are so good and sensitive in editing it into a compelling video. Fascinating, the many hours alone, your intimate contact with the personality of the concert grand, then the working with the orchestra in the rehearsals, and then a concert hall full of people, sounds and emotions, and then you again alone in the dressing room.
Weird, how exciting this portrait felt. I saw it in two parts; it was too loaded for me to see it in full haha. I hope your suitcase with personal things will find its way back to you, and I hope you fill your heart and camera with more memories of the old world and take them back to New York.
yay another Tiffany vid!!! 🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🙂🙂🙂🙂💜🤗
Beautiful venue!!! 😯 I recommend buying an Apple AirTag for your luggage. Kept ours from being lost during a recent trip!
Talk about a cliff-hanger! The video breaks just at the crucial moment. I guess we're going to have to wait for the next episode to know how the performance went . . .
Hello Tiffany, I just saw that someone has said hurtful words about you and even bringing up your parents. Just remember there are lots more of us who love what you're doing. I watched your last several videos one after another and I don't think you're inauthentic in presenting yourself. It just doesn't show.
Your vlogs always brighten up my day; thank you, Tiffany. I wish I could've been at your concert, but got to see your preparation which is wonderful too. Bravo & don't worry about the two bars of octaves - that mammoth first movement is a minefield for slips!
I had no idea pianos could talk until I started watching your vlogs
Tiffany, you can do it without the luggage! Rehersal right before concert is always the hardest one especially without luggage. So glad you got the trills figured out and liked the change! I have a really dumb question, with those trills are they octave trills where you have to do a 1-1 trill with your thumb or are just the higher notes trilled? I see the octave grace notes after those trills which made me assume that it's an octave trill but I don't always see it played that way. What do you do for them? Yours sounds exactly like I want to hear it! :)
I trill octave top note, as written I think :)
While I've been watching your video Tiffany and listening in the background this beautiful Schumann kinderszenen and davidsbundlertanze I was wondering if you're going to be releasing any album with his music.
I really do like your videos, started watching some days ago, and since then you made me have more fun at playing the piano again.
One single thing about your sound design, when speaking in the video you should set a high cut, just try out so that the sharp s sounds are not so strong and loud anymore. Elsewhise I completely enjoy your video style as well as your play style.
Loved this honest trip to the concert with you. Truly enjoyed your efforts. Did you ever find your luggage? Mahalo and Aloha.
You are so endearingly whimsical(As well as being a musical genius)
Love ya ❤️
Love you and your videos Tiffany ❤️
By the way Tiffany I have heard there is an app to track your luggage when travelling which you might find useful for the future
