  • OK, the title is perhaps an exaggeration, but amazingly this was actually the first round of a reputed International piano competition! She did not qualify for round 2.
    It actually sounds quite nice at first, but not for long. Even if she had avoided all those slips, it would be obvious from the overall wooden quality and lack of freedom and tone control in the playing that this person is very far from international standard!
    Hilariously when she forgets the ending, she goes straight into the next piece of music without any pause. You wouldn't think it was a new piece, and she sits like a statue throughout.

    It is quite bad, but trust me: she knows. The judges know. This was probably a very embarassing and painful moment for her, and here you are, making fun publicly of her.

    title is irrelevant, "brave pianist tries to keep the show going"

    If I was performing and someone did this to me, I would cry every day for nearly the rest of my life, and I’d be scared to go on stage. I can’t believe you are one of those people

    She obviously has skill, and was just nervous. Also, this sounded like a very complicated piece, so maybe give her a break!

    She's not the worst pianist in the world, she's just a nervous young performer. She is playing the Prelude and Fugue No.2 in C minor by JS Bach in a critical environment. A colleague of mine is a concert pianist, and he messed up Bach, yet went on to perform brilliantly the original version of Rachmaninov's Second Piano sonata; so these things can happen to anyone. Bach is a nightmare to get back into if your memory lapses, because a lot of his music is "circular" and you can end up in the wrong "groove" so to speak.

    Mark Stevens, remove the video.

    I bet she's a lot better than almost all of you, so don't be so quick to judge. She was nervous and messed up. Give her a break.

    Competitions take the joy out of playing music.

    The fact that she even qualified to compete at an international level should tell you just how good she actually is!

    That's is so vile to turn someone's struggling like this into a public display. She is not a bad pianist and definitely not the world's worse. She was caught out by memory slips and panics, but she kept going - my hat off to her! Well done! Some nice moments there too

    Every great musician was once the worst musician. Everyone learns from their experiences

    Do you really hate her so much that you want to humiliate her by posting this?

    Dude, even Bach himself would’ve appreciated her for continuing on. People like you take the joy out of music.

    This happened to me. It was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life because I was able to play the piece perfectly when practicing, but when I played it on stage, the exact thing happened. It takes a lot of courage to continue playing when nervous and with clammy hands. This is not a laughing matter. The one who posted this is so full of himself.

    she is just incredibly nervous. Not a big deal. If she is not able to pass international competition it does not mean that she is not a good musician, just that she is not a good competitor. Competition doesn't show you as a great musician. Competition is just a competition. I think the start was nice and when she was in control, she has a lot of musicality. Ots better to spend time playing concerts or festival than spending your talent in competition until you are 35 then you don't know what to do next. real competition is with yourself.

    I teach piano. I assure you, this pianist is a fine musician. She plays quite well. The piece requires a great deal of precision. She may not have been fully prepared to perform this piece for a recital, however - she has skill. I'm sure she is just very nervous.

    I’ve been worse on a bigger stage, and yet I don’t see my video titled “WORST PIANIST IN THE WORLD”

    Botching a public performance has been a performer's worst nightmare for countless centuries. Only this century has the added prospect of humiliation on a far larger scale via TH-cam. Most of us enjoy bloopers, especially from established pros. But inviting public ridicule for students or other hopefuls having clearly nerve-induced meltdowns feels a bit mean-spirited. This "worst pianist in the world," who really is anything but, has only my sympathy. I can too easily see myself in her shoes.

    I once fucked up a performance in front of about 200 people - I paused for about 10 seconds after forgetting where I was in the piece before saying out loud “I’m dead” and continuing playing.

    I hope she is still alive after having such a painful moment broadcast to the world and being described as the world's worst pianist. Mark Stevens, it is not your job to drive people to suicide. Have a heart!
