@@melikemozart78903 it's normal for children start playing in student recitals very early into taking lessons, as performance is a major aspect of studying an instrument. the part I don't find credible is that they were playing with an ensemble rather than solo. That would be prodigy levels of talent.
He "recovered" in the sense that did not sit there crying about it, but got right on immediately and kept up with the orchestra. Of course the mood was ruined for him and that's why he did not play at the level he did in the weeks prior to the final. A jury at this level, in this particular situation, would not judge him badly if his first note wasn't perfect, but they could surely tell that although technically a sound performance, his execution was sort of lacking on the emotional/interpretative side, due to all that initial commotion. Very sad, but that's life.
I have to say, he is an excellent pianist. He kept it calm and collected and proceeded to continue the performance without interrupting the orchestra and the conductor. He is terrific.
It was so unfair what happened to him. It shows that he worked so hard to have such skills and that he has a real talent for being so adaptive. Not having the music sheets for the music, because they changed it without him knowing, and just playing from memory 😮 ... It is unbelievably hard and, for that, he's a true master
At that level they memorize all concertos and rehearse their repertoire often. It's happened before and is bound to happen again and again in the future. An ordinary person would not be able to continue, but these people are anything but. They've often been playing since they were children, and some can play pieces by simply knowing the key. So while amazing to watch, given their talent, it's perhaps kind of not surprising.
@@echo-channel77 changing the song midway, it would be a blessing if they just put a note on the piano with the changed one. a simple A× A->B would be understandable even if you can't translate the whole announcement
He is mentally thinking Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto thoughts when he is suddenly launched like a rocket into a different world with a different tempo, mood, and everything. It must have been like having a hand grenade suddenly thrown through your window and you have to realise what has happened, find it, pick it up and throw it back out.
If I recall correctly, the context was that they had a last minute change in the order of the program, but they forgot to translate the announcement for him so he had no idea.
To literally change the entire piece you're about to play in mere seconds and still get it totally right... wow. Thats why they memorize everything, and why concert pianists are on another level.
Every instrument player memorizes the songs they play. You can't call yourself a musician or an instrument player if you need to cheat and read the sheets every time.
i dont think people understand the gravity of thw situation he was going through, he did not have the sheet music for this song. So he played it to the absopute best of his ability from memory. And it was a flawless performance
That is proof that he is talented in that. After you play so much, you became familiar with something and able to switch quickly. That is years of experiences right there
its quite amusing anyway... it seems that no one actually knows precisely what took place, but whatever happened it only brings attention to the excellence shown in the playing of the Chinese pianist, Tianxu An! I really never cared for this piece but his keyboard is supra-marvelous!! The orchestra is perfect also - this really is something special, whatever occurred. wow, it is good!!!
@@megenberg8as someone else stated in the comments, this was during a final round of a major piano competition and the orchestra had a last minute order change of the songs but forget to translate to the pianist.

@@skyeckogaming3354 Was this an unusual occurrence in the final of a major competition ? Did the Chinese file protest or formal complaint ? Was there suspicion of sabotage ?
He thought they were going to start with the Tchaikovsky 1st where the orchestra plays for for over ten seconds before the piano cones in bit they started with Rachmaninoff's Paganini where he must play immediately. They gave him a special prize for maintaining himself.
@@brittnotheidiot7036 not entirely sure so don’t quote me, but it sounds like someone’s version of the Paganini Variations. Several different composer have done versions of them, so it’s possible this is one of them. I could be way off but that’s what this piece reminds me of.
This man’s panic and agony is so apparent, what an unfortunate mistake. He is so unbelievably talented I hope he can forgive and forget and move on with his immense talent
The announcer who messed up got fired as a result but the pianist lost the competition as a result. He was offered a repeat performance but was too upset. The thing in these competitions is a single wrong note and you're out. Feels rigged given the winner all the same...
@@xxorsayxxyes, in the professional piano competition world this whole event is for the pianists! Many difficult, legendary piano pieces are orchestral; so naturally if said piece is going to be included in the competition then they'll need an orchestra along with them as well.

Maaate that slow head turn and open mouth stare 🤣 Bless this man's 700bpm heart Incredible recovery. Shame all they could offer him was a consolation prize and a chance at a replay (after the awards were already given out).

He name is Tianxu An, Chinese pianist studied at Curtis institute of music. At the competition he was going to play Tchaikovsky piano concerto no.1 at the beginning an later Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini, but the conductor confused the order. They gave em another chance to play again but Tianxu declined.
I can’t play the piano, so dude right there is a GOD on them keys. But the editing. Lmao, it was the agonizing look on his face with the caption ‘bruh’ floating by his head that got me. 😂
@@moksolees6658 The conductor should be fine as he is a famous name and would not participate in underhanded behaviour. He was likely as much in the dark as the pianist. They eventually blamed the person in charge of telling the orchestra the order of the pieces in reverse, which is quite plausible. The fact that the relevant person got sacked seems a bit of a heavier than normal punishment for just carelessness, indicating suspected corruption/sabotage.
LOL. I have a related story. In about 1972 I was studying violin with Erik Friedman and he told us in a master class that he used to do a lot of replacement concerto performances when a soloist got sick. One concert he performed was supposed to be the Beethove concerto...with its long introduction. So he relaxed with his violin down...when the conductor started conducting the intro to the Mendellsohn concerto. Which is a measure and a half long. He slammed his violin into his throat and played the Mendellsohn, even though he had prepared the Beethoven. So that look of horror on the pianist's face is COMPLETELY understandable.
The worst part about this is he was expecting another piece where he only needs to come in about 10s into the piece. This piece requires him to come in almost immediately.
I remember this event. We were livid and in rage having to witness this catastrophe and obvious animosity between the conductor and the pianists. The conductor was reprimanded prior to his departure at the end.
@@ricardoferreira7797 The pianist name is Tianxu An, he was a competitor in the final round for a chance to win 30K USD but because of this epic bodge another pianist Alexandre Kantorow took the win and sadly, there was nothing done to remedy the confusion.

( it was for String quartett + Chromatic Accordeon, a piece called " Arcangel de Piedra, de Nube , de Arco Íris " ) But they couldn't at least change the results , nor the rules , and create suddenly a second price, so , later, they invited me to come back (and other things but it's too long to tell here ..) I was so on the shock that I refused ... But I do regret, I have been quite stupid ...

Btw he's 23 in 2022 ( I googled him and in a 2022 video he said he is 23). So he's 20-21 in this 2019 video. Wtf he looks way older, like mid 30s at the very least.
The way the conducter shushed everyone, it’s like that has a double purpose of “be quiet we’re starting the song” and “be quiet ima bout to trick this unsuspecting victim”
One can almost see his thoughts: shock, panic, acceptance, recapitulation (while playing first survival chords), preparation, two extra seconds to look at the director like "really dude?", and there he went... Knowledge and dexterity are NOTHING without a matching mindset.
he bungled the beginning and could not calm down until the end of his performance and focus on what he was playing here and now. The result was a sluggish, wandering pace, loss of rhythm and sloppy articulation

That feeling when someone threw you under the bus 😂
That day, bro's hairline receeded by 3 centimetres.
😂😂😂
To be able to make a recovery like that is absolutely amazing. What a phenomenal musician.
Classical musician *crisis*, Jazz musician *opportunity*
So many amazing and talented humans glad he did what was necessary and gave an amazing perfomance
That probably took off a month from his life:D
I bet it took way more than a month ;_;
People prepare for this competition much longer. My mom's pupil took a year off of high school to prepare.
@@_Diana_S no I mean the stress of that moment shortened his life by a month.
The quick and perfect reaction should be worthy of the first prize!
Oh my goodness!! I can’t even imagine what I would do. He is truly a professional… but that facial expression was hilarious 😂😂😂
He had flashbacks on asian piano course.
That “Wait, what?” and “bruh” side comments together with the pianist’s confused face just cracked me up!! 😂😂😂😂
One can almost see his thoughts: shock, panic, acceptance, recapitulation (while playing first survival chords), preparation, two extra seconds to look at the director like "really dude?", and there he went...
Knowledge and dexterity are NOTHING without a matching mindset.
My guy is the definition of "I went through stages of grief" in life 💀
That's also how I feel during my listening test today too-
Great recovery...just take it on the chin! It all came thru🎉Celebrate the small, medium and huge milestone victories
🤦♀️ omg.. his stress level went through the roof there...
Many fall in the face of chaos; but not this one, not today.
They did my man SOOOOOOOO dirty
He demonstrated true professionalism… credit to him
The Asian was too stunned to throw the flippers..
They did him a whiplash 😭
HOW DID BRO JUST PLAY RACH AS AN ACCIDENT
what rach piece is it?
if i recall, he prepared rach and tchak for the competition, they forgot to tell him the order of the pieces changed
@@claryyy Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini
he bungled the beginning and could not calm down until the end of his performance and focus on what he was playing here and now. The result was a sluggish, wandering pace, loss of rhythm and sloppy articulation
@@colinsoderyeah its like he didnt prepare for it lol
Bravo, junger Mann! Sie haben diesen schwierigen Wettbewerb gewonnen.❤
The pianist deserves a raise!👏🏾👍🏾💪🏾👌🏾❤️
Crazy muscle memory taking over 😂😂😂
It's called sabotage
hmmmaybe
Could another performer have bribed the conductor to sabotage the pianist? If not, why?
@@Jenniferbluefire doesn't make sense, because the conductor's reputation has been damaged, reputation is the most important thing for musicians nowadays
My favorite piece of all time, thanks Rachmaninov 💓
creativity in action. love his expression..and a quick recovery.
Hats off to this pianist!
The look he gives the conductor 😂
The song encapsulated that moment. The music and his reaction 👏👏👏👏
His heart beat went staccato for a second 🤣 then his hands went camouflage 💯🎯
And that, my friends, is professional musical talent.
