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.
The Royal College of Music offers a regular series of public masterclasses, most of which are free. To find out what's on visit the RCM website www.rcm.ac.uk/events

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

[@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.

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.

[@saltag]

Still a wonderful student though, but I agree with you completely

[@mikehsing]

Jenny Backwell you are absolutely correct. Some subtle differences!

I was hugely impressed by Hin-Yat Tsang at the Chopin competition and couldn't understand why he didn't pass to the second round (I wrote in the comments at the time). How wonderful to hear him again, He is clearly a superb musician and I look forward hearing how he continues developing. Wonderful playing.

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

[@opentls]

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

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.

[@quaver1239]

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

[@scrubmaestro4406]

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

[@musicandliterature47]
