Nice!
I can only imagine how great it would be to hear her play this wonderful piece 9 years later. Not to say this wasn't a breathtaking performance but I'm sure it would be flawless after all these years of practising. You're great Tiffany
Yes, Mark, this is indeed a very difficult piece! Tiffany plays it extraordinarily well. Great technique that looks effortless. Very smooth, flowing phrasing and well-rounded, full tone. Brilliant.
I am 12 and I am currently working on my diploma, listening to this talented girl just makes me so inspired. Thank you Tiffany Poon! I hope one day I would be doing what you are doing. :D
How's your diploma going now that you're 19 lmao
You Will be Katrina. Good luck.
How's your diploma going now that you're 20 Katrina?
Diploma at 12?
Hahaha I’m doing my masters of music right now at university of melbourne, time flies 😭
You showed a lot of “Mephisto” feeling! Great job!
Absolutely mesmerizing! Tiffany, this is just mind-blowing!
You don't just play, you become one with music. That's great!!!
Desde que encontré en youtube a Tiffany me he convertido en su admirador, paso las noches escuchándo sus hermosas ejecuciones.
really amazing, i cant express how unbelivably impressed i am right now in words
This is cruelly difficult piece technically. Typically,Liszt. She reels it off with all the power emotion and skill it demands. 11 out of 10. lady.
I LIKE TIFFANY S VERSION THE BEST. ITS CLEAR AND THE NOTES DONT RUN INTO EACH OTHER LIKE THEY DO WHEN SOME OF THE OTHER PIANISTS PLAY IT. HER VERSION IS THE CLEAREST AND BEST PLAYED IN MY OPINION.
OMG every time I watch this, I can't help but press the like button!!
Simply fabulous Tiffany! You inspire me to practice. Best Regards
Extraordinary music maturity for a 15yo. Other than the opening bars, which were poor, she really understands this work. I feel sure it will be breath taking in a few years. She conveys a good presto 'leggiero molto' which is rare for immature performers. Problems with the huge rythmic swings and finishing off the flourish after the 'tutta forza' (a problem for me too, but I am age 46!). Highly impressive. Next time with Horowitz' cadenza, maybe?
I fully agree!! This is a very interesting interpretation
Even with mature players the middle part with parallel voices is just physically difficult to be in tune. There will always be a missed note in the upper registers, and not because for any lack of skill, but because of the sheer momentum and physical exhaustion. I doubt Lizt could even play that without missing a note or two.
Dude please stop feeding the ego of people just because they are "short" in age. That doesn't mean anything. You at 46 (now 53) have the same value than this or any other woman or man.
ElSabio159 lol what. Feeding an ego and complementing hard work with constructive criticism aren’t the same thing. He was giving credit to where it was due but showing a bit of humility to not sound standoffish. People take things so negatively nowadays you have to show humility.

Big fan of yours, Tiffany!!!!!
Wonderful, and to think the smart gril is also majoring in Philosophy!! Proudissimo parents surely for having such a gem!
This is fantastic. Tiffany is always a great performer, and awesome pianist.
I'll never be able to listen it another way... amaizing performance... everything is there : encore !
This is such an amazing performance >
What a gift and a joy to behold thank you very MUcH!!
AT 9.53, WOW!!!!!!! IT SOUNDS SO AMAZING AND SO DIFFICULT TO PLAY AT THAT SECTION.
She is so good !!!!
You played it slowly but steadily. GOOD!
How can someone dislike this?
mistakes at 9:30 jajaj
but its understandable, goddamn she was 15!
@@ianianian0110 imagine dislike because of a mistake
@@Max-yp1iw classical listeners like me are perfeccionists. So it makes sense
ian lemos no hahah everyone makes mistakes.. it’s not that you’re a bad pianist if you make mistakes.. people like you are not appreciated
@@ianianian0110 if u just care about the right notes just listen to a computer play it.
playing with expression in music (and especially romantic music) is much more important than playing with out mistakes, even the greatest pianists like Rubinstein and Horowitz say this.
I seriously think I enjoy watching you more than any other pianist. You give the listener so much pleasure and fulfillment
Tiffany is already very near at professional level. A few more years and she will be a major contender in the Cliburn.
She now is!
@@mokkaherrman1104 I THINK SO.
She is Amazing!!
FANTASTIC!!!!!
my neck hurts
😶
Terrific...she gets ready like an Olympic diver!
I´ve just loved your interpretation (and performance, of course!)! Made me love even more this piece!
IT IS GREAT.
This is very different from other interpretations. And it's my favourite.
MINE TOO. TIFFANY IS A GREAT PIANIST.
literally the best interpretation ive heard
phenomenal!
08:51... her face...! impressive...
absolutely gifted...:)
Very nice , musical, interesting, exciting, and well thought out. She has more than enough technique for the piece.
Fantastic! She is definitely blessed by God!
The credit goes to her hard work and effort, not some supernatural being
Just amazing!
1:37 finally someone plays that part in Good tempo
All these pseudo virtuosos rush it
so amazing...!
gosh, I'm 18 and I struggle to learn chopin's 1st ballade. She just earned all my respect
ikr, tiffany literally played 1st ballade chopin at 12/11 😭
Chopins first ballade isn't too far off of this. I'd say the mephisto is in the same level of difficulty overall.
@@connorrichardson368 Mephisto is WAY harder
@@sagar1992 I agree, it's definitely harder but...if one can play the ballade I'd argue they could manage the mephisto.
@@connorrichardson368 they are absolutely not comparable on any point
I don't like Liszt but I love how Tiffany plays so I can listen to her play anything. Great job Tiffany, I could listen to you play music all day!!!
@Fred Virtuoso , Liszt has some amazing works. Mephisto waltz is just one of many. Sonata in B minor is another great one. I also love La Campanella, Liebestraum, Mazeppa, Fuex Follets, Wild Jagd, Reminiscence de Norma, Reminiscence de Don Juan, and several of his Hungarian rhapsodies. I hope to learn to play them all one day, I wish
Perfect.
I don't particularly like Lizst's music, but this is very well played! Looks really difficult.
Mark Pereira how
your sound is great
That was at age 15?!
Yes. Still takes my breath away every time I listen to it. I became her fan watching her Chopin concerto in Moscow, this interpretation, and her Chopin's Nocturne Op 72 #2.
she plays don juan fantasy at 14
what an impossible piece to play, and yet you did it! bravo
Yes, she played it great. The part with those wide jumps (9:31) is very difficult to learn to play, especially at the speed it should go. I'm working on it, but I have a long way to go to get it learned right
@@alvexok5523 update?
@@Max-yp1iw, oh, thanks for asking. Well, I wasn't able to practice for a few months because my old electric keyboard stopped working (since it was over 20 years old). But I bought a new keyboard 2 months ago (out of the $ from my 1st stimulus check (haven't seen that 2nd one yet they're talking about)), and I have been practicing again. I've spent more time working on Liszt's "Sonata in B minor" since I was a little more polished on that piece anyway. But I have spent some time on "Mephisto Waltz" also, but due to what I explained I am unfortunately not really that much further along on it than when I posted my other comment last year. Those huge jumps with the right hand during the second half of the piece are still quite difficult for me, but I'll keep working on it. I'm getting closer getting those arpeggios sounding alright. But overall, still have a ways to go before I dare perform it (which may not be something anyone may be able to do until the COVID19 outbreak blows over)
Alvex Ok nice :) wish you the best
@@Max-yp1iw, thanks. And, maybe there could be places to go and do a piano performance in the nearer future, just with everyone attending (performers and audience) being required to wear masks
Spot on, wonderful just wonderful Tiffany keep up the good work, oh by the way love the red dress perfect for the devil dancing with his paramours !!!!!
Why is Liszt’s music so difficult? He must have been crazy!
Thats the point to show that he is way better than anyone else. He practiced about 4 hours a day which his contemporaries couldnt imagine and was a lot more than the other best pianists those days(about 1 hour)
@@danielfaller5617 I did some research and Liszt sometimes practiced up to 14 hours a day, which is expected seeing as he was legendary.
@@sarahhan1867 THERE IS NO WAY I COULD PLAY A PIANO FOR 14 HOURS A DAY. IM LUCKY IF I PLAY FOR ONE AND A HALF HOURS A DAY BUT THEN IM NO PROFESSIONAL.
@A Mess WOW, THATS A LOT. IM TOO OLD TO PLAY MUCH LONGER THAN ONE HOUR. I GET TIRED QUICKLY.
My daughter loves Liszt's music!
Haha as soon as she finished so many people calling out bravo ♥
I like this piano
아주 영리한진행!very brilliant
She plays so good. I love her way of playing that piece and I hate my way x) I play it too fast so I guess my way sounds really bad.
awesome!!!!!
I don't want a CD, I want a DVD of the performances.
好棒的演奏我在台灣聽到的 謝謝你這麼棒的演奏分享 台灣姑娘祝福你

Phantastic, but I say in POLISH : wystarczy trochę "rozkołysać" WALTZ of FERENC LISZT, zagrać taneczniej i z nieprzewidywalnym ukazywaniem podczas gry, słuchaczom treści muzycznej zawartej w tym dziele... a będzie to kreacja jedna z największych na świecie. Więcej swobody i oddechu i improwizacji (nieprzewidywalności - podkreślam - w kreacji Twojej na scenie) a osiągniesz doskonałość jako interpretatorka LISZTA.
Justyna
Brava! Excellent!
wow...
Is there something this lady cannot play?? I better stop looking at her before I get too attached...really like her striking...and her eyes, her hair, arms, mouth, omg...I close this window now.
Великолепно, что будет дальше? в 4 года играла как обычные дети в 10 лет, в 15 - виртуоз- пианист. Сенсация!
Татьяна Игнатова а дальше - ещё одна одаренная и прекрасно обученная молодая пианистка в мире где таковых предостаточно
7:28 this touch ! 🤤
amazing! o_o
Wow:)
What a beautiful lady!
很棒喔
Superb. So much detail and musicality compared to many supposedly great pianists.
She picked the red dress specifically for this piece
For all the technique, I still like to hear you play some really interesting Spanish music - especially the likes of "Iberia" by Isaac Albeniz.
She plays the "Triana" from the suite "Iberia" here: th-cam.com/video/iYwDfcPdhcI/w-d-xo.html @ 48:10 min. That piece she played best in that recital, IMHO. Enjoy! :-)
SOUNDS GOOD. I WANT TO HEAR HER PLAY ETUDE 10,3 AND OLD FEATHER HAT. THE OLD FEATHER HAT WOULD BE REALLY A SWITCH OF STYLE FOR TIFFANY. I KNOW SHE COULD DO IT EASILY.
Magnifique, beaucoup de subtilité dans le jeu.
Wow
This was par with Yuja Wang's playing.15 year old Tiffany gave us a glimpse of the first class artist she is on her way to be as I write this. Never mind the wrong notes; this interpretation was outright fabulous and much more musical than many others, including from some big names. Liszt ought to be played with a mix of elegance and passionate abandon like that.
Very good !
i know she didn't get anywhere in numerous piano competitions... but there's something special about the temperament of this pianist, mistakes and all (and there are MANY in this rendition). bravo. As for the 74 other comments as of this time, they seem automated and meaningless.
Bulbophile What a modest remark! Of course, only your comment has meaning; all the rest are stupid. You’re all right. The rest of the world is crazy.
I agree in everything (except the remark ref. 74 comments, lol). Strictly personal, and it's only me: I have a VERY low opinion about piano contests. Outside being an opportunity for playing through repertoire and meet somebody who might become interested in one of the participants they mean very little. Take the last contest she was in, from all the Big Winners of past years NO ONE has made it to world class. Just to avoid starting an argument: Listen to what Gary Graffman and Emanuel Ax (who was one of her teachers at Julliard) has to say about this matter, in interviews here on TH-cam. They are more of an authority than I am. As I pointed out in other comments, I hope that Tiff will make it through the critical transition from child prodigy to grown-up artist. She deserves the best, as she's a hard working kid who loves what she's doing.
C'est là qu'on comprend que Tout le monde ne peut jouer du F.Liszt !
我在youtube 聽了整下午
jack chang 很好聽
Brava
This is REALLY hard. O_O
That’s what she said
"that's what"
-she
9:08 so balanced! fast, but not rude
You show the mestowaltz " feeling " good job
I'm something of a "philistine" when it comes to classical piano 🎼. This is very skilfully played, but to my untrained ear, "not very melodious"! 🦻
whats so great about this playing??? fast and loud??? BRAVO!!!!
Wow! I can see that you regularly practice your scales!
play very well
You can audition for Juilliard at 15???
Amazing Tiffany!
I'm No.28 likes ^^
Dancing hands
I think she needs a different kind of showmanship for this piece. This was meant for concert performance, not savoring every note like a Chopin nocturne. It makes an audible difference in the feeling of the music.
This isn't really a criticism though. She plays it brilliantly. Just not the interpretation I imagine.
Great insight, man.
I agree ! I feel that she tend to lean towards chopin nocturne style of deeply in thoughts kind of showmanship 90% of the time. Maybe, she can be a little more solemn and her facial expression can show more of the excitement/joy/scary/angry/depress/playful etc... instead of always sticking to the same face... Just some food for thoughts.... great fan of hers no hate involved :) For Liszt I think you have to have that almost possessed kind of body language. (Just my own opinion)
Yes, I agree, although this rendition was quite impressive. Tiffany is at her BEST playing Chopin. Right now (2019) she is transitioning from "Wunderkind" (child prodigy) to grown-up artist; a critical step in her life and career. I truly hope that she will sail as successfully through this stage of her life as Martha Argerich and Yuja Wang did in their time.
To add to the pile of other "useless stuff", here is a copy of the printed music for the following video th-cam.com/video/uSD5lYcyxhY/w-d-xo.html I hope you can find the time to at least look at these pages. Thanks. John R. Haws (JRH)

May i know what really is this piece's standard ?
Gary Chee
Diploma, easily.
Trotz ein paar Verspielern eine der schönsten Interpretationen!
Eine unglaubliche Leistung fuer ein 15 jaehriges Maedchen. Sie macht jetzt (2019) gerade den kritischen Uebergang vom Wunderkind zur erwachsenen Kuenstlerin durch. Ich hoffe dass sie das genauso glatt hinkriegt wie Martha Argerich und Yuja Wang, und uns lange mit ihrer Kunst und ihrer Begeisterung fuer das Klavierspiel erfreuen wird.
Andres Gunther lol
She's Asian :-P Btw, obviously a great perfomance! She'll become a piano star!
I THINK SHE IS ALREADY A STAR. ONE OF THE BEST PIANISTS ON TH-cam IN MY OPINION.
Zennabella lol remove the fckn caps lock.. can’t take you seriously
Good luck
overpower
You sure this is waltz ?!
Good question. Liszt is one of the composers whose 'bravura' works only gain from being played fast and with lots of temperament. Actually this is more of a scherzo - phantasie. Unlike Ravel, whose "La Valse" is played way too fast by most pianists. Tiffany played Ravel's "La Valse" just right, tempo-vise.
fantasia
中国姑娘精彩
she's brilliant but i think she may not like this piece
It's not good playing of this piece.
Wibster good english hahahaha
OMG :|
Tiffany is based af
there she has to practice something
