Damn, this guy is studying for a bachelor's degree in Economics at Harvard while also studying for a master's in piano performance, that's really impressive.
Not too many teachers are qualified to teach these students as they are already at a super high level. It’s awesome to see what a masterclass looks like. Great job Lang Lang
The kid is very good technically but as often is the case with younger musicians, the interpretation is not quite there. Lang Lang is just the teacher he needs to develop further. It's amazing to see how he picks up on every little thing that Lang Lang says. In time he'll be truly great, with age and life experiece also comes musical maturity, I feel.
@@thegoldenkeys1289 No doubt it is. You must understand, I'm comparing him on an absolute level, with such masters as Lang Lang. He is a joy to listen to for sure, and by no means am I saying his musicality is bad.
Dude's got a lot of potential. His ability to make adjustments and really absorb what Lang Lang was saying in the moment. I was always terrible at that in master classes. It's like...can you give me an hour to work on that first? 😣
This student seems to be really relaxed even if hes facing one of the best pianist in the world and playing on such a stage. I really hope he can be someone famous like langlang in the future
lang lang could play all the chopin etudes when he was 12 (to apply for curtis)...now *he* was achieved a lot at a young age, and even more in old age. (like now)
Master Lang Lang very careful about the dynamics,rhythm and clear articulation which gives out the character of this piece. Clayton has good technical and very talented student.
@@ludicroussealanimations3643 such name are prevalent among chinese but it's weird if one doesn't know it focus more on the tone of the name which represent two meaning.
He's such an expressive pianist especially at the longer and slower sections in this piece. he really puts a lot of emotion in this piece and I can also feel it inside. This is such an important quality as a pianist. Lang Lang also did an incredible job pointing out the parts where he needed to improve.
Lang Lang really brought the life, breath and even temperature of the piece through the subtle change of the rythme, contrast, length and force of the sound and make the clash to your spirit happen. He can really easily make any notes no longer flat and piled up, but with so many layers, depth, colors and complexity. It also likes he can easily creat a magical line to link to your heart and lead it to anywhere the music want u to go but also in a very smooth, warm and comfortable way full of love and romance. Yes, really enjoy watching those masterclass. You can easily understand and hear the difference, perticular where is the “clash” from excellent to real Master! I think those young people should be really appreciated those teaching. Because the earlier to realize those small but critical details and start to practice to improve their performance, the sooner they can outstand themselves among so many talents! OMG, GOD just gave so many gifts to people! And people who success not only need time, efforts but also a good teacher from early age! Relatively, opportunity is important but not that important because when it comes, the people who well acculturated and prepared can get it.
I love how the people walking by in the background are captivated and brought to a dead stop and the fact that you can't see any of their faces. The body language speaks so much volume.
16:40 - it is interesting what Lang Lang says about him preferring the beginning being played without pedal and staccato. A lot of performers mirror his thoughts - and it does create a certain scary percussive effect. Liszt however indicated pedal all through the opening passage. Now I believe every pianist has a right to an individual interpretation (and I like the opening with or without pedal - it sounds unique and just mind-blowingly modern for a piece from the mid-1800s either way:), but it would have been nice to hear Lang Lang mention that Mr. Stephenson actually played the beginning more in line with Liszt's score.
My guess is that Liszt indicates pedal throughout the beginning because the pianos back then were a lot dryer sounding in comparison to today’s richer sounding pianos
Me gusta más el touching the Clayton que el del mismo Lang, y mucho menos “tragicómico” también, este chico tiene una sensibilidad muy especial y una dinámica envidiable.. y muy bien tecnicamente...BRAVO
That pianist really is very good. Often u get technical beasts who can shred scales and arpeggios but play like robots with no soul. This guy has everything. You truly feel when he plays, and he took Lang Lang’s advice on really well. Surely has everything to be a future great

EXCELLENT comment Sir. TOTALLY agree
Sometimes music can't be expressed with words... But it can be explained with "DA DA TEEERA DA DA TEEERA TEEERA TEEERA"
Dude's got a lot of potential. His ability to make adjustments and really absorb what Lang Lang was saying in the moment. I was always terrible at that in master classes. It's like...can you give me an hour to work on that first? 😣
THE MOST IMPRESSIVE MOMENTS FOR ME ARE HE CAN REMEMBER ALL OF THE PLACE NEEDED TO BE IMPROVED, AND POINTED OUT EVERY SINGLE ONE EXACTLY.
This student seems to be really relaxed even if hes facing one of the best pianist in the world and playing on such a stage. I really hope he can be someone famous like langlang in the future
It seems that he's been taught by lang lang before, so he's a bit more relaxed
Agree
Prophecy fulfilled
hes now a cliburn finalist!
The student is so good though, I could need a masterclass with him 😅 can't believe he's only 17, he really has achieved a lot at a young age

"are you ok?" lol
agree!
Also the improvement around was 21:45 was amazing brought out so much more depth
Lang Lang: Slaps piano

估计没有人跟我一样是看了青春环游记喜欢上了郎朗再来看他的大师课的。 以前总觉得他鬼畜般的表情难以接受， 但是在青春环游记里面看到了一个搞笑，呆萌，聪明和超强执行力的郎朗才明白一代鬼畜钢琴大师是如何形成的。 他不管在大师课还是在综艺节目其实都是非常平易近人和搞笑的。 他的第六感和感受力也是超强， 所以能把音乐展现的如此丰富，而且逗比好玩。 另外他对于其他人也是非常尊重，一点大师的架子也没有， 综艺感来了什么都会做。 真是能把万事做到极致的人。 佩服，点赞， 粉了。
同感!
我是因为郎朗看青春环游记😂
他真的很可爱。

28:28 the moment when even Lang Lang realizes his metaphors are bizarre. So cute 😂😂
Somehow 28:28 reminds me of lang lang because he has the same name twice and the time is also 28 two times. Dont ask
@@ludicroussealanimations3643 such name are prevalent among chinese but it's weird if one doesn't know it focus more on the tone of the name which represent two meaning.
Euphemism? I'd say it's more of a metaphor
I think he was trying to mention tinkerbell but didn't know her name or how to describe her haha
Did he say something about drunk and Argerich in the same breath? 🤷♀️😱

This is such an important quality as a pianist. Lang Lang also did an incredible job pointing out the parts where he needed to improve.
I agree, but I personally like a little faster and louder interpretation. Because it is the "Mephisto" waltz

What's so amazing is that he is already an impressive piano player but when lang lang plays…you immediately noticed it's masterpiece! Dadadadadada…
This really makes you realize how good Lang Lang is if pianists at this high of a playing level are seeking him out for advice.
An Example of what a great teacher can do to a great student!

He's from northeastern china, ppl from that area is really genuine and humorous
I think Lang Lang would be a very good conductor 😂

When he played first time it’s so good. After Lang’s instruction it’s so much better and expressive. He’s a really good teacher.
Lang Lang visualized the abstract classical piece.
This young boy is very talented. well done!

Sometime music can't be said. When you wanna explain what u want about music, about the details, u need to use all the way u can.

Love the part at 20:47

His face when he finishes at 13:07 is hilarious. He’s like I hope that was alright. Great job.
Lang lang know everything about piano.. :)
Loved this after he done it with Lang lang
Incredible pianist
這個老師好厲害.
God, Clayton just understands Lang Lang and his magic genius piano whisperings... amazing to see him dynamize the piece on the spot
If Lang Lang didnt become an incredible pianist, he would have been a great Opera singer
That’s in Paris I actually was in the hall ( I just realized) but there was a different master class with capuccon (the cellist)
Salute from Lang’s hometown Shenyang
I can't play the piano but I could Lang Lang's masterclasses all day.
What passion and what inspiration. Thank you Lang Lang! And Clayton is a brilliant young man with wonderful sportsmanship!
