What a privilege to hear this interview with Yulianna - one of the greatest pianists of our time. I remember well her sublime performances in the 2010 Chopin competition. Fantastic news if she has joined tonebase and hope there will be much more to hear and learn from her in the future!
it's so awesome to see her get more visibility online. some years ago, I remember watching videos she posted to facebook and it was just fantastic to hear how she thinks about pieces at a high level. one suggestion she made that always stuck with me was to cover the entire final section of Chopin's Nocturne in Db major under one pedal as she felt that section was "ungrounded"... not something anyone would typically think of when playing Chopin, as his pieces often demand clean pedaling. although it's probably known fact in the classical piano world by now, how can you NOT introduce her as the 2010 International Chopin Competition winner at the beginning of the video?
Yeah, she must be getting better, because even I, an ignoramus, recognise her :P Actually, it was that Chopin Competition winner that introduced me to her, just a couple of months ago. It was incredible.
I saw her perform live two weeks ago in A Coruña (Galicia, Spain). She played Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Lutosławski's Paganini variations for piano and orchestra. She's an amazing pianist and also seems to be a really funny person!
The practice question... you'll get there when your health prevents you from practicing and you have to fight back to practice. After that you'll feel privileged any time you get to practice.
One solution with the sheet music is to use the iPad she's reading the questions from - many pianists today just travel with an iPad - Yuja Wang for example.
I own some scores that were my grandma's from the 70s... But even my own scores from 10-15 years ago, with fingerings and remarks. I'm not stuffing that in an electronic device that easily breaks! Even with backups, there's no way anyone would find a pdf 50 years on. I love paper scores. For "throwaway" pieces or chamber music, though, great solution.

Seriously one of the most brilliant performers of our time

At first I thought that by "Nail Polish & Piano" the person intended to command Yulianna to learn Polish besides the piano
She is definitely my favorite pianist
you know weinberg's lore is deep when they use special characters (and numbers) in words

Never really factored in how physical piano playing can be, interesting
Hello Yulianna, what do you think of Federico Mompou's music? I think it is played not often enough...
I went to Gnessin. Check out my 75 plus compositions on my channel. Why doesn't she mention Schubert?
