So many people complaining about bad comments, but haven't seen even one.
Lol
Being realistic it was probably just one or two.
Lot's of people thumbs down...
The bad comments probably get pushed down as comments like yours get pushed to the top.
I think those are the bad comments tbh
I love her interpretations. Finally someone with feeling that doesn't sound like she has to catch the next bus.
Beautiful. As light as rain and as natural.
Oh Yeah, I have a feeling some pianists seem to think you're insanely impressed when they can play incredibly fast
I can't read your comment without remembering the Ambasing guy
My grandpa used to say something similar and I agree. We were big Rubinstein fans.
@@tedhubertcrusio372 lmao
If Chopin was alive now, he would absolutely be smiling watching tiffany playing this... Amazing.
agree
Perhaps not. Chopin didn't compose it, Robert Schumann did, and Chopin did not care much for Schumann or his music. Chopin didn't really care much for Franz Liszt, who made this gorgeous piano arrangement of Schuman's most beautiful love song dedicated to Clara, with whom he was deeply in love and whom he later married. Chopin said of Liszt "I wish he'd leave other people's music alone." But it didn't stop Liszt from arranging many of Chopin's pieces! I think part of Chopin's problem was disgruntlement with life. He had been a child prodigy, but contracted TB. According to accounts of his life, he wanted to marry, but just about everyone knew he had TB and I'm sure this is why his lady friends avoided becoming involved. He must have been envious of Robert Schumann. As for Schumann, tragically, his life became blighted by very severe headaches, which drove him to attempt suicide, and he eventually signed himself into an asylum, where he ended is life. Franz Liszt, lived into his seventies, and left a huge legacy of wonderful piano arrangements, and lots of original compositions of his own, including piano concertos and orchestral works. I won't go into detail here, because this is all very well documented and you can read it for yourselves, but I can tell you that Liszt's works alone occupy over twenty pages of fine print. The lives of the composers were mostly well documented and give a marvellous insight into how society both rich and poor lived and behaved in those days.
@@Borretski cool comment thanks :D
@@Borretski Where did you get this information? I searched for it and I didn't find anything related to this nocturne not being composed by Chopin on the internet.
@@Borretski Seriously. Shut the fuck up. This was composed by Chopin and period. Anywhere the credit is given to him. What the fuck is wrong with you? Aside of your stupidity, even trying to interpret the thoughts and emotions of someone you never were even close to knowing? And don't even say you've read that somewhere because that's the most inaccurate and idiotic answer you could give. Just don't say things you don't or will never know, imbecile
Tiffany is no technical robot. She adds much life and emotion to her music.
Actually in tears my friend...oh my! Absolutely broken now.
It is the magic of any good chopin player/interpret.
Tiffany’s parents must be so proud of their beautiful and extremely talented young daughter.
But I believe she suffered a lot too. Like hours of playing piano
I feel like this song would be the end credits to humanity and would first show all of the amazing things from humans then slowly transition to dark and grim images of how destructive we are to ourselves and our world in some horrifically beautiful way with this song playing in the background
Christ, that’s a bit chilling but i love it
Yes there still exists real beauty in music even if a dark cloud of despair & uncertainty does hang over humanity's progress & future existence
Perfectly said.
Nah dude, Ballade No. 4 would be better, it starts of with a beautiful intro and before the coda, it shows that humanity is silently falling apart. The coda of it are the cries of humanity, until it ends on F
minor
I have a few more: Bach’s air in D Major, Samuel Barber’s Adagio or Philip Glass’s Mad Rush
I realise she’s playing at a Julliard press conference. I also realise that perfection is required to even play there. Seriously, this is beyond that. So clear, precise and beautiful.
This is how this famous Chopin's Nocturne should be played. I've listened to it hundreds of times, played it myself and this is just the way to play it. Pure beauty, Tiffany! Sublime, poetic and with such finesse!!!
pierdolisz glupoty
Imagine you're the audience watching this live. Not with earphone, capture with unknown mic and compress by youtube. I believe it will be more more beautiful and warmth. Its a Steinway too.
I've heard in played live on a grand piano in someone's lounge. It was amazing :O
would you happen to know the model of this Steinway?
Ben Hodges Hello. Judging by the sheer size of it, it is more likely a Steinway D, at least I think. It is definitely larger than a B. As for the serial number, that is impossible to know.... I hope it helped.
M. Fahmi Nurhardono you sir, diserve a cookie
Its also kinda nice to know how to play the piece but i cant play as good as her, unfortunately.
All the people commenting bad things on here are just jealous. I'm a pianist, believe me, I'm jealous too, but at least I admit it and don't criticize her for it.
First off, this is a very famous piece and has been played by the likes of Rubinstein and countless other front-rank pianists. Since it is very familiar to more than the average classical listener, there is bound to be comparison to the established versions out there. Hers is a very solid academic version but there are variations in speed and attack that are noticeable when compared to the many other versions.
Admit it, this is a boring rendition
Critic doesn't mean being jealous
Lmao legit nobody is talking trash
That might be the problem: Why be jealous in the first place? Why not instead be happy for her and look to her as a model for inspiration - instead of making it about yourself and your jealousy? I know one reason people may feel jealous from seeing something like this is because it makes your insecurities, flaws, and short-comings that much more transparent, and forces you to face them. However, the problem is with you - not her; and jealousy is a way of projecting that onto others in a negative way so you can feel better about yourself. As such, you should view her as a paradigm for inspiration and interpret her, not as a threat to you, but as an impetus for improvement and success. You can admire and support people without making it about jealousy and your insecurities.

Graceful and natural touch
Ohhhh Hello Philip :)
I love your Vids 💕
Love from the Philippines
hello sir!
Is this what love feels like?
The first one, yes. It starts out innocent and pure, and then turns intense and all consuming before it settles down to blissful tranquility again. My first girlfriend played this for me once, and I was absolutely floored.
No.. When i see a nice round ass
***** ok well imagine that nice round booty having the skills to play this now being intellectual and having a body is what it's all about amirite
Jallil In 1838 Chopin wintered with Sand and her two children on the island of Majorca. There he wrote pieces that included his celebrated Preludes, Op. 28, and the Nocturnes, Op. 37. Back in Paris they lived next door to each other, and spent the next eight summers in Nohant, her country home in central France, where Chopin composed some of his greatest music. Musical herself, Sand both advised Chopin and inspired him, though he never dedicated a composition to her.
The relationship came to a bitter end in 1847 after Chopin sided with Sand’s daughter, Solange, in a quarrel. Devastated, Chopin felt his health quickly deteriorate. They saw each other for the last time 17 months before Chopin’s death-a chance encounter that Sand described in her autobiography: “I pressed his trembling and icy hand. I wished to speak to him, he slipped away.”
Diogo Figueiredo that's lovely, but what?
She's so smooth it looks like she's barely touching the piano. Perfect.
Such performance requires not only technical perfection in fingers but also the peace of mind combined with the deepest emotional perception of music. Hats off to You, young lady.
This isn't all Tiffany can do. Should have seen her play street hockey in the 5th grade...one hand on the stick, keeping the puck under control, while fending off the boys with the other. Have pictures to prove it. Way to go, Tiffany. You were awesome then; you're awesome now.
Girl your ponytail game is so strong. You did a beautiful job btw
talktome that's because it's a poonytail

"now, that is how Nocturne should be played..."
F.Chopin
How?
??
People always get the timing on this wrong. Even the greats misinterpret this piece. This is my absolute favorite interpretation of my favorite classical piano piece. Technically flawless. So hard to play right and time right and not speed up or slow down or overly dress it up. This is subdued and brilliantly done. Watched this video of Tiffany’s dozens of times.
I have a electric piano and this is the demo song it plays. I have listened to it since I was a little girl and was obsessed with learning it but haven't had the confidence to try incase I mess it up or make myself feel awful by how bad I play it. This was so beautiful and inspired me to try. Thank you Tiffany ❤️
yep, and the trick is the beauty you hear when tiffany moves from one note to another.. or plays one chord, one arpeggio maybe... if you see what I mean? that beauty can be listened for and felt and reproduced from the very very beginning.... with the very, very simplest tunes, sequences of notes, chords..
i.e it is not a case of practising, learning, for years and years and years before you can 'play' and 'understand'.
No. It is a case of make a sound and enjoy it, then explore the making of more..
PX- S100? lol same
If you love the piano sound alone... dont worry if you play a bum note.... dont give up and keep it going.. music failures is as beautiful as its wins.... at the end its only your choice... practice and keep going... im learning this... and if I spend 1 year on the first 10 notes im happy..... Do it...
I love Frédéric chopin
I to!
you're not alone
too
I agree Chopin makes such beautiful sounds
Same here
If i was so skilled to be able to play this on piano, i think i’d just make myself cry before it ended, this piece is so damn beautiful and holy God is there a lot of beautiful emotion in it
An angel was guiding her fingers with every note.
Lmao why do I emagine someone playing this song in a sound proof room, while the whole world is at war (in Slow mo )
This is beautiful. One of the most difficult musically. And poignant. Thinking of how young Chopin was when he passed away. The music lives on in the hands of the master here.
The timing is absolutely immaculate! an excellent piece by an excellent artist
This well known song is so overplayed, however this is the most beautiful rendition I've heard. Amazing
"most beautiful" yes it was amazing but she just played it like a robot with no heart
itschrislol -- give her a break. She is young and has not yet developed to the level of Lang Lang or Valentina Lisistsa.
why do people like lang lang? he plays at a shitty tempo in all of his songs which ruins the majority of pieces he plays.
They like him because they see him on t.v. or youtube a lot. Ever heard of ad agencies? They keep showing him on t.v. somebody will buy into it. Zamphir sold a lot of cd's on t.v. of his pan flute playing.
At least it's not as overplayed as Cannon in D or Flight of the Bumblebee : P
I remember 70 years ago, when our house would fill with the day’s tensions, my mother would pause, walk into the living room, sit at the piano, and play this. It’s amazing how this would calm all our nerves and bring peace back into our home. It still does. Beautifully performed.
Wow, that is just beautiful
Still trying to hear it once without tears of joy.
I swear she was playing the Steinway to heaven!
LOOOL
It surely is beautiful playing.
GOOD ONE!!!
Lmao🤣
Alright, nice one 😳
Stop trying to be smart everyone and just accept beauty.
Oh my god. Tiffany, ive been following you forever but something about this performance. You literally bring chills to my skin and almost move a grown man to tears. This is beautiful.
Indeed, Chopin would be absolutely proud!!! bravo!
This is a very mature and sensitive interpretation. Love it.
Dear Tiffany,
I love your work, it's fantastic!!
Nocturne 9 is amongst the pieces we 'played' together. My mom was so much better....
Since she passed away I find peace when hearing this one.
Thank you!
I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. It sounds like a beautiful soul was lost when she passed. It’s lovely that her memory lives on through this piece though. Sending love ❤️
@@issy483 👍
Wow, I’ve loved this piece by Chopin ever since I can remember. The way you play it is so special. You have a wonderful gift of interpretation.
Beautiful!, Miss Poon. Chopin may be overwhelmed, as am I, by your admirable performance. Congratulations!
Well she played that absolutely perfectly. Seems there are some people who have a problem with it being played by a woman and then there are others who don't like it because she is Asian. lol. Maybe they should have just never showed the video and just pasted a picture of an old gray haired man and say he did it then he would get compliment after compliment.
Uhhh what???!!!?!? Where did you get the idea that was happening?! Enjoy the song instead of saying we should not see her. Go be a sexist somewhere else we have to many that need to be shooed of the internet anyway.
It's about the music, and that's what people seem to forget. The beauty of the music is what we should enjoy, no matter who, or WHAT is playing it. Debates over music make me sad. Music is almost all a matter of opinion. My opinion, and apparently yours, was that this was a beautifully performed, beautiful piece. I would've enjoyed it just the same if it had been an alien playing it. (But maybe a bit more distracted...)
2wowthatsabigturtle2 i agree too =)
*****
So you don't like it because you think she is ugly. So if that's your basis for liking something that's pretty funny if you like Chopin's original. Chopin is totally sexy, lol. Clearly you can't see the beauty (in) the woman also.
Rachel sounds like he's off his Prozac again!! ha! There's always some idiot that has to be ugly! thanks for tellin' him!
Best version I’ve ever heard
The more rubato, the better
I’ve heard people snobbishly suggest that subtlety is a requirement when playing this piece. I reject that notion with a fiercely loving passion. This piece has so much room for each individual to bring their soul into it
Playing this, made me cry as usual. So relaxing. Makes one forget the sadness in the world.
This is absolutely beautiful
The best rendition I have ever heard from any pianist.
I love her piano playing, she ‘lives’ each note, stunning display of virtuosity and feeling! ❤ 3:59
Must be hard to play with flat fingers
She is just so beautiful in her music her talent her appearance the total embodiment of perfection. Everytime I hear her play it stirs my soul. She makes the piano cry and seconds later brings it alive. She is a master. Yes I am a fan
normally i don't really listen much to classical piano music. (i am a huge music fan tough). But this piece really has something that touches me. normally a song gives me an emotional feeling that's pretty clear. But when i listen to this i can't really tell if it's a sad song or a happy song. But it certainly does something to me. I play a little piano and hopefully one day in the future i can play this :)
Rowbance it's music for killing people
Rowbance Same here. Unidentified feelings
Gostaria muintó que os comentários fossem em português eu sou
Sei ler os outros idiomas isis
Maybe you should get a bigger piano.
this is romantic not classical
One of Chopin's most beautiful pieces. Loved listening to it. She brings out all the beauty and charm.
It just makes me feel like heaven when listening to this song!😇🤩☺️
Sublime.
I could hear her soul breathing through Chopin's music. Perfection.
I absolutely LOVE playing this song on the piano and is by far one of my favorites 😭 and seeing her play this is just wow 😩
Tiffany I love the way you play this here. I listen to it several times a week. It lifts my spirits. I can't help wondering what Chopin would have thought had he heard you play this on this piano, played perfectly on a piano with a way more beautiful tone that the pianos of his time.
Those trills sound gorgeous
Every key she touches glow. This is amazing
Wow...this piece just never gets old. I still play it for pleasure after every practice session. I've never heard of Tiffany Poon before I must say. I was watching an unrelated youtube video which had this piece playing in the background. It was probably as close to a perfect performance as I've heard so I tried to find the name of the performer with no luck. The uploader of the video didn't even remember where he got it, so I decided to do a search.
The first piece at the top of the search results was WAY too fast. Couldn't understand how that survived the performer's "ear test". I saw that it was about 4 minutes long so I thought "why don't I try something closer to 5 minutes, at least I'll know the tempo won't be an issue." Tiffany's performance was my next attempt and I must say I think this might even be better than the one I was looking for initially. Perfect interpretation.
My only criticism would be the appx. 5 seconds bringing us back to tonic, the 'coda' if you will, between 4:26 & 4:31. I don't know why she rushed that section, but maybe my ears are the problem. But enough of my nit-picking, I'm going to buy anything and everything I see from Ms Poon and hopefully upgrade some of my favorite performances. I'll be starting with Chopin Nocturne in Eb Major. :)
Thanks again Tiffany, this is what God put you on the Earth for.
Shant D
Close my eyes and listen? Not on your life! She's beautiful in every way, and she has retained Chopin's pricipal marking that so many recognition-hungry pianists consider superfluous : "Nocturne".
She dances the music as much as she plays it- heart, soul, and body. So magical and thrilling...this must be what Chopin intended!
This piece sounds like a huge white flower field, and then you lay on them and smell the beautiful perfume of this flowers.
Who are the 221 people that gave this a thumbs down! ARE YOU CRAZY!? SMH.
#opinionnation
i dont agree with it, but its an opinion none the less...
If i were her i wouldnt worry about the raw number but rather the ration of likes to dislikes
Probably Hilary supporters...
DTL Racquetball The 221 people that can't play this and want to
Ιερώνυμος Κόραξ F U C K Y O U
Make it 243 in 2017
Watching this and reading along the sheet music. All the tempo, articulation, and ornaments were applied and executed accurately just as Chopin would have wanted it. Excellent!
My father played this when we were growing up. Brings back memories,
When I perform something before the audience, my hands shake very much. Tiffany, you are very brave. Well done ! And good luck to you!
Lovely piano timbre, and the played tempo is perfect.
+David Izquierdo Azzouz Tempo is really perfect!!
I must be the odd man out here...she played it beautifully, but I would have liked it to be a bit faster (even though that sabotages the mood of piece to an extent)
tenacious645 a bit faster would also be OK, it just depends on the "mood" at that very moment
I thought it was a bit too fast than the original, wasn't it?
Federico Risicaris IMO tempo is nice here and within the indicated speed on the sheet, but it's of course something subjective and you got a manoeuvre margin in which you can play it a bit more slowly if wished.
Very delicate and gentle. Expresses a restlessness and a longing for something lost as does Chopin's other piano works, especially his Etudes, Op 10. Thank you for such a wonderful performance.
AMAZING! i shed a tear
this might be the best thing ive ever seen in my whole life
She is beautiful and so is this piece of music.
Even though the video is old, thank you Tiffany, for the emotional Rollercoaster. Always a pleasure to come back to this and listen. Thanks again.
Niko Lagman Its not that old, it's from 2013, just because it was 4 years ago (even know its not recent) It doesn't mean it would be considered an old video.
I'm ashamed to say I first clicked on one of your videos some years ago because I thought your name to be funny. I stayed listening all these years because of the exquisite beauty you bring to the music. What an amazing young woman you have become (writing in 2020).
I hope you enjoy your journey as much as we enjoy you🙂
Wow that was played with so much feeling for the music. Nice tempo and not too slow. Love the dress and the look- so beautiful. 😗
Hearing this, brings tears to my eyes.
Me to
it dose not metter were she is from
she is amazing
She looks gorgeous in yellow 💛
The sensitivity that she brought to this beautiful piece was wonderful, excellent!
What a splendid interpretation with great gentleness, elegance, a game flawless. Beautiful thank you for sharing. Frédéric Chopin is my favorite composer, I love to interpret his works, that's why I've dedicated my piano string. Jean-Luc.
She keeps pulling at some invisible string inside me when she plays, music and a masterful palyer are magic, heavenly!
Wow, the way she connected with the music...it was very soulful
Extremely well played, beautiful personal rubato and respect for the sheet music
My favourite interpretation of this timeless Chopin masterpiece! You never fail to inspire me to practise harder every single day ☺️👏🏻
You play beautiful and with such grace. It brings joy to my heart to see your talent
Played with more emotion as I’ve ever heard this piece, and I’ve heard thousands... beauty to the ear !
Wow. The best performance of this piece I have ever heard.
Just stunning. Chopin would have loved this.
All time favorite! WOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOOWOWO!
Settle down Beavis... :)
I played for 12 years before I hurt my hand. Listening to anyone play well or just play Chopin period, melts my heart! Bravo Miss!
Flawlessly played. Surely one of the best pieces of music ever composed.
That was absolutely lovely
my god.. its just beautiful. Greetings from Mongolia.
huhuhu my favorite piece what a wonderful performance very smoooth
Soothing piece of music by Chopin. My no. 1 favorite by Chopin's since my younger days. I play the piano by ear, I can't read music pieces with notes, etc., but I just love playing piano and this young lady is wonderful piano player. I love it! 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖
My mother played this, and other Chopin, Mendelssohn, Brahms etc. - and ragtime! - all by ear. Thank you, Tiffany, for bringing back beautiful memories ❤!
This is one of my favourite versions of this.
Now that's a steinway. The most in tune piano I ever did hear, action sounds like it feels amazing. Oh yeah and Tiffany was alright...
Can you do it better than her?? I’m sure you don’t even know how to play twinkle little star
@@sofiaesther7772 Yes infact, I can play this piece! You can check my channel if you'd like to see it! Edit: But I wouldn't say better than her unfortunately, I'm not that good, but Tiffany is an inspiration to me.
@@sofiaesther7772 he/she was just joking, you know 😉

Elena Ivanova the edited the comment yk 😉
Ive just started to try learning this song and ive realised from all people ive seen this one is one of the best ever
This performance is what I always try to do when playing, which I very rarely achieve. Such a beautiful version.
The music, the piano and the pianist are vera sweet and wonderful.
Qué fantástica interpretación. Una de mis piezas favoritas de Frédéric Chopin.
Idk but nocturne always gives me the comfort of a mother type of vibe like everything's going to be okay vibe
0:29
That is the best turn I've heard.
Probably my favorite interpretation of this Nocturne.
Finally made the like score hits 9K. So beautiful piece which I wish to play someday, too.
She is wonderful, and getting better.
So much change in just a few short years. Amazing and wonderful.
