One of the reasons why I have become Yujia's fan is that I'd like to see how well human being can play piano. She has really stretched her abilities to a very top level. Good on you, Yujia!
"Idk if I'm ready but whatever" *Proceeds to play pretty much perfect and insanely complex and precise piece* Jesus at 19 I was happy to have made it out of my house w/ my shoe laces tied.
I had the incredible privilege of seeing her in person at the Hollywood bowl several years ago. It was a life changing experience to see her play first hand.
It makes absolutely no difference how completely ignorant of or how knowledgeable and accomplished you are of keyboard skills.....she is just WOW to everybody. I do not know her but I did date the sister of one of her keyboard teachers in 1991 when she was very young. I was told about this phenomenal kid that could listen to the teacher play a piece of complicated music and then play it back better than the teacher. We are truly blessed to live in her time and when she is absolutely at her peak. I pray that God protects her and gives her many more years.
I'm speechless and in a good way. Human neurology is way further advanced than I thought, and I'm sorry that Chopin and Beethoven couldn't see and hear her.
Human neurology? Oh, silly. You think people virtuosic playing at this level is a product of our advanced civilization? It’s amazing, but it ain’t new. Not by centuries. We’re not advanced. You’re just late to the party.
@@duftstabkerze4236 Hmmm... you might have a point. I thought he was referring to advances in the study of human neurology allowing for players to use new skills and methods and whatnot (nootropics?) to play in ways that weren't possible before. That was a big leap on my part. Perhaps Malcolm simply meant that upon hearing this amazing playing he was stunned at what the human brain can do? And that Chopin and Beethoven would have appreciated her playing? I can agree with that last part for sure. I also think they would have praised her playing highly.
@@wellesradio "Perhaps Malcolm simply meant that upon hearing this amazing playing he was stunned at what the human brain can do?" That was basically my understanding as well. What the human brain and neurology (since ages, not since Beethoven) are able to do achieve at best. I mean, she is really stunning, out of this world. Like a foretaste on genetic engineering or robotics. I took 10 years of piano lessons, and maybe I could match 50% of her speed with same zero error rate after 1 year of hard practicing those pieces. And I still would not be able to achieve such dynamics.
@@duftstabkerze4236 Yes, I agree. I was confused by the use of the word "neurology", which was not a field in Beethoven's time, as I would have likewise been confused if I'd read your comment mentioning genetic engineering and robotics. What I'm saying is that playing at this level was always possible. And from what one reads, it was more common (though still rare) in the classical era when select children were essentially trained from the youngest age with no regards for any other education or future apart from their work as professional musicians. Thankfully, children have more rights today, and as witnessed in this video, can still reach great artistic heights without becoming musical slaves.
Watching and listening to Yuja is a sublime experience. And, certainly there are many young artists who devote their lives to classical music, however only one that I regularly hear that plays it with such precision, and spirit....and that is Yuja!
It almost brings tears to my eyes to see someone with this type of skill level and has fun with it as well. I watch this and think there may be hope for this generation that so many of us question everyday. Thank goodness for those that still love the arts that speak to our very hearts.
One wonders what Mozart would say if he heard this arrangement of his Turkish Rondo performed like this. I would guess two things: 1) She is completely and utterly mad, and 2) He would be in awe of what she is actually doing here. Yuja is a treat for both the ears and the eyes.
What hands! Impressive talent.. nowadays, one of the best pianists around.. the phenomenal, the beatiful and amazing Yuja Wang! so young here.. but.. really outstanding.
Oh it's Yuja Wang, thank God... I thought it was a home video of yet another astonishingly gifted prodigy, fitting Piano lessons in between gymnastics, horse dressage, competitive springboard diving, flute, violin and clarinet lessons and homework.
The more she plays,the better she gets.I never heard this before and love it. She will dominate the whole piece in a short time, as she always has with the most difficult moments.👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🎶🎼
What a privilege to just be there with her and enjoy such a performance. I even like the acoustics of the piano filling up the room. I really hate concert hall echo.
Wow so good to see it again! I remember I saw it years ago and I even didnt know who Yuja Wang was...but I knew she was going to be one of the best in the world.. as she is now! Thanks! much!
I started playing classical piano at the age of 4 and I went to music high school and college so I know a thing or two about this; and this is the most insane performance I have ever seen. I double dog dare you to find anything more impressive. Post your submission in the replies.
hello Yuja first of all I give my big big big salute to ur MASTER who taught u. OMG u r so lucky to have such an excellent Master who has dedicated himself to teach u. At the same time hats off to u for ur beautiful nd excellent play. How much u have struggled to practice nd kept up ur valuable time for this piano. My dear I hope that u may be the the "World's Fastest Piano Player". We could not see ur fingers playing on piano. Left hand u would keep so perfectly, that too without seeing the left hand side. "No words to explain". God bless u.
No it's more like she had a very complicated war with the devil but then she released the devil back where it came from and everything was wonderful again. she won
@@apieinthesky I don't understand your point.. if you have different views on this then thats good for you, music is something that can be viewed different for every person.
I watched it with awe and admiration, not knowing who this is, and thinking “yes, great pianism still exists” - then I saw who this is, in their early years... amazing
I would like to learn to play the piano in my retirement and would give anything to play like this, to many injuries, broken bones and arthritis now. You are amazing and so talented, look after those hands.
Like my piano teacher always said, keep your hands close to piano when playing a piece like this. It’s nice to study her technique with this piece. Thank you!
Wow, I didn't know who the pianist from the thumbnail but once I started the video I knew right away. Anyway, she plays so effortlessly, yet so precise as well. I'm so jealous of her abilities!
Wow, the original videos of this were the ones that made me a fan of Yuja Wang in 2008 at age 15 :D I remember the following summer while on vacation in France I found a flyer that said she was playing a concert nearby the next day, so we went. Best concert of my life! :D This video also inspired me to learn Rondo alla Turca. Good memories. Thanks for reuploading!
OMG.. Incredible playing. How can her 2 hands play different things at the Same time? I can't pat my head and rum my tummy at the same time! 😂 Yuja is so young in this.. And the flip top phone! Love it...
YUJA: “I’m not sure if ready, whatever…”
: plays it perfectly 💜💜
Those 16th note octaves on the left hand,.... LET'S GO! That's aweosome.
One of the reasons why I have become Yujia's fan is that I'd like to see how well human being can play piano.
She has really stretched her abilities to a very top level.
Good on you, Yujia!
This is a very old video though. I remember seeing this as far back as 2011.
@Ryan Sun
Agreed.
She is perfect.
Sometimes I wonder if she is realy human...
@@JeanPierreZeidman
For sure she is, she plays better than robots. :)
Yujia? is this her youtube channel?
"Idk if I'm ready but whatever"
*Proceeds to play pretty much perfect and insanely complex and precise piece*
Jesus at 19 I was happy to have made it out of my house w/ my shoe laces tied.
I am speechless. You are a heavenly gift to this world.
There’s no words to describe how talented this young woman is. I’m speechless and in awe.
She's a phenom. She has the skills of 3 amazing pianists.
I had the incredible privilege of seeing her in person at the Hollywood bowl several years ago. It was a life changing experience to see her play first hand.
How did your life change after that?

I Love This amazing Young Lady 💘
I thought the House of Flying Fingers was first released way before 2016. Yep, the original version does not have Carmen ❤Thanks for the HD version 👍
😭... 12 years u played fantaisie impromptu very perfect..
and now you are goddest of piano player 😘

Wow !!! Most articulate piano fingers ever. Five Stars!
This happens when you "try" to play the Turkish march after too many hours spent on listz' s trascendentale etudes... wow!
.
You nailed it. Best way to explain it. a🤣
Yup, and the result is trash
Sergio Sergio lolol,
@@debussy843 That is a pathetic comment.
Never tired of watching this. Over a few years.
Mind blowing, Thank-you
A marvel that is everlasting,unbelievably fantastic Ms Yuja Wang 👍👏🏼👏🏼🎶🎼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
What an amazing pianist! She’s an athlete of the keyboard and a genius!
One time I tried to brush my teeth with my left hand...and I injured myself.
Did you lose a tooth, your left hand, or your marbles?🤣
I’m a lefty I do that everyday
Andrew Fitzgerald-Piano obviously, if you’re a lefty.
at least you tried!
LMAO, i was the same xD
such a precious video of her playing in 2007!!!! Long live Yuja Wang!!!!! So fortunate to live the same era with the virtuoso!!!
What hands! Impressive talent.. nowadays, one of the best pianists around.. the phenomenal, the beatiful and amazing Yuja Wang! so young here.. but.. really outstanding.
Oh it's Yuja Wang, thank God... I thought it was a home video of yet another astonishingly gifted prodigy, fitting Piano lessons in between gymnastics, horse dressage, competitive springboard diving, flute, violin and clarinet lessons and homework.
She obviously has natural talent and hours of practice .I could never play like that thank you young lady.
Hours????? Try decades
@@Kaspen82 Don't be silly she isn't old enough for decades she was only 19
hours lmaoo
This version of UA-cam has been view a lot more than 2,000,000 times.... YJW is one of the best ... no doubt.
She is absolutely amazing. I've never seen a performance like this. Fantastic! Girl you are fabulous!!
The more she plays,the better she gets.I never heard this before and love it. She will dominate the whole piece in a short time, as she always has with the most difficult moments.👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🎶🎼
she has to be one of the greatest pianists to ever walk the earth. no doubt
Yuja Wang..., she is virtuous and adorable alike!
I watched this like 100 times and i still love it
She is a treasure of the human race. God bless her.
I think God already did..
"Wow!" is the word I want to say!
And I want to say it again and again and again! And I want to say it each time louder!
Wow so fast hands ! Great improvisation of Mozarts Turkish March ! YUJA WANG is the living legend !
Not a impro, the Volodos version, sheets are easily findable, but working on this is hard if didn't play at least 1h / day for 10+ years :p
I'm really speechless With this performance ! Hello from France.
Hello Roland, I'm from Ohio US
@@vickil6325 Hello vicki
Your skill at the piano is a gift to the world. Have a great life.
Mixing one, two, three themes on left, right, both hands... Amazing.
So amazing to watch her looking back and see how far she has come from these early days
She´s so wonderful!!!!!!
What a privilege to just be there with her and enjoy such a performance. I even like the acoustics of the piano filling up the room. I really hate concert hall echo.
Jesus!!! Unreal😃 phenomenal!!👏👏👏
Sublime. Just furious beauty.

And Yuja has only gotten better over time, if you can believe it.
I've now watched this at least 30 times. There are no words....
Fabulous!
Yuja, you are wonderful!!🌼🌸💐💐💐🌼🌸🌸🌼🌸🌸🎉
Talented young woman. Bravo cute YUJA. My congrats.
I see someone finally put both these videos together. Saves me the trouble of clicking while trying to catch my breath, lol!
Yuja Wang is fantastic.
She had a nice conversation with the devil. Ended with a friendly handshake.
No it's more like she had a very complicated war with the devil but then she released the devil back where it came from and everything was wonderful again. she won
@@fitulus I don't think that's how deals with the devil work, my dude.

@Mookie Spindlehurst Uhh, you ask the people that write the folklore and come up with the idioms. Also, God is a douche.
@Marius Walther bravo. you took the words from my mouth. if the music alone doesn't tell you that there must be a god, idk what else can...
Words don't describe.
As a Turkish guy, LOVED IT. That was friggin awesome! Btw, also loved this HD version thanks dude.
Absolutely Fantastic .Congrats to you Yuja Wang ..Love it.
Pretty Impressive and ingenious!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Yuja is phantastic.
I watched it with awe and admiration, not knowing who this is, and thinking “yes, great pianism still exists” - then I saw who this is, in their early years... amazing

What a legend! Lovely Yuja, forever Yuja!
Like my piano teacher always said, keep your hands close to piano when playing a piece like this. It’s nice to study her technique with this piece. Thank you!
Amazing pianist. Puts all of us mere mortals to shame. God Bless her always.
WOW! playfulness with so much over-overflowing skill!!!!
This couldn't more 2007 if it tried - the highlights, the flip phone, the phone zooms...
Amazing and unbelievable performance, congrats!! You've been blessed.
2:18 WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY?!!!!! The whole thing is holy shit!!!
HUGE LIKE!
Wow, I didn't know who the pianist from the thumbnail but once I started the video I knew right away. Anyway, she plays so effortlessly, yet so precise as well. I'm so jealous of her abilities!
This video makes me so happy I laugh, I can't believe how fast those fingers are, they're a blur! Thank you for making me happy!!!
wonderful.....thanks for posting
I think you are the greatest pianist！
Please come to Japan！
Wow! That was so impressive! I didn’t expect that from such a young lady. It brought back memories of the great Art Tatum!
I hope she will compose some pieces for future generations. As for this generation she would be the only one to cope with her own works
Thank you for the music....ranked among the top100 must listen before I die. Amazing skill!
The world is more beaituful with her.
Those hands--they surely move! It must be a blast to be able to play such showstoppers and with such seeming ease!

Fascinating arrangement and performance! ✨👏
An incredible talent and so beautiful too.
I particularly like her messy hair and dressed down look here.
