- On October 13, professional pianist and Zen student at Daihonzan Chozen-ji, Katy Luo, played all 53 of composer Joseph Haydn's piano sonatas in one day.
Hear Katy explain why she took on this endeavor here: • "Explode The Structure...
Over 14 hours, Katy played continuously, taking only three short breaks. This is the first time that someone is documented as having played all 53 of Haydn's sonatas in one day, a feat of concentration that pushed the limits of music and human stamina.
Daihonzan Chozen-ji is a Zen temple and martial arts dojo in Hawaii. The approach to Zen at Chozen-ji is rigorous, intense, and through the body, incorporating serious meditation and a variety of martial and fine arts. Established in 1972, it is a daihonzan, or independent headquarters temple and seat of its own new line of Zen, in the Rinzai sect of Japanese Zen.
Katy Luo is a pianist and lecturer in music at the University of Hawaii West Oahu who frequently performs with the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra. She began training at Chozen-ji in 2021.

I've just finished watching all of this after a month and I have but 2 things to say:
Congratulations and thank you!!
Absolutely beautiful. I am recovering from emergency surgery and your music is very soothing for all my pain.
The light at 08:26:00 is interesting. Playing for 12 hours in a naturally lit space is like being a sundial as the light changes around you.
The way most won't even have the stamina to sit and listen to these sonatas for 12 hours straight... yet we have someone actually playing them
Thanks for finally bringing closer these 53 wonders.😌
How is this even possible? Amazing!
It's an absolute mystery to me how this video can only have a couple hundred views.
Alone to play the piano for more than 12 hours in one day is beyond impressive. I once busked around for 6 hours in London with barely any breaks, and my back was absolutely killing me afterwards. But to also rehearse 53 piano sonatas and perform them on such a high level in a single day is absolutely unbelievable.
You can be incredibly proud of your achievement. Chapeau!
Relax this is bound to be recognized, such a gem
lady, you are a monster! i'm in awe! thank you, indeed ...
This is incredible and deserves way more views!
This is sooooooooooo amazing! Thank you
That piano sounds so lovely
Such a magical and a generous gift of time and talent! I found myself listening to this performance in the background at home and motivated me to be productive and creative in my own little way. Thank you Katy Luo for the inspiration.
Você me fez querer estudar para tentar chegar a um resultado tão grande assim ! Seu pianismo é lindo !
This is an incredible feat
I am Amazed! Thank you Daihonzan Chozen-ji, Katy Luo!!!
The amount of stamina to do this, let alone listen to only Haydn for 12 hours (jk), is such an incredible feat. Most people won't understand how difficult this is. I myself get tired after several hours, my vision gets blurry beyond 3-4. This is just crazy LOL
Ter isso de repertório de cor já é por si só uma façanha, mas tocá-las pensando na interpretação e dando o seu melhor durante 12h !
Parabéns que feito inacreditável, merece muito reconhecimento! ❤ 🎹🎵 Toca muito bem os clássicos! Que interpretação mais linda !
Incredible feat
You inspired me, thank you, really.
Congratulations !!!
Amazing….
super congrads! more impressive than a marathon :D , 12 marathons*
Amazing!
Congrats to you and brava👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Your stamina and concentration are unmatched and I don’t know if the Guinness Book of World Records would be interested. I have a few observations: Your piano is a hybrid Yamaha NU1X (or NU1 or NU1XA). Did you specify request to play on it due to the marathon session, or most likely it was the best piano available. I own a N1X by the way. I also agree with you that Haydn was a master of experimentation and when you play his piano music you are part of the composition as it’s being created. I plan to watch your entire marathon in between my practice sessions. I hope to discover the next Haydn sonata to play. You are so inspirational❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you @jacquelinrubin8274! The Yamaha NU1XA was carefully chosen based on many factors. The Kyudo dojo doesn’t have AC, so a fully acoustic instrument would have gone in-n-out of tune over the 7 months when the instrument lived at the dojo and I was going there to train almost daily.
@@KatyLuo. That’s what I thought. I’m glad to see that you played on a hybrid to show all those purists out there that it’s fine to use a hybrid for such a grueling performance. I practice many hours daily on my N1X which has a substantial grand action. It’s really helped my technique not to mention that Bach on a harpsichord voice is extremely instructive. I can’t imagine what your next project will be. I’m looking forward to it.
oh my god this is insane!!
I will study with this in the background for the coming years
Imagine the camera would have turned off xD
Thats impressive
Way to go Katy!! 🎉😮
Thank you Jean!!
wow
She'd HAVE to be Zen to do that!
Haydn: spent his entire life on it
You: I'll do it in just one day mf

Is it a Record Guiness?
Nice, now go for both WTC books 😅
