I am better understanding Tiffany’s passion for Clara and Robert Schumann after hearing her performance of different compositions by this couple. As one who loves classical music I had not been exposed to Clara and Robert to any great degree. Listening to Tiffany perform a Clara Schumann piece on Clara’s piano has been an epiphany. BEAUTIFUL. 🎼🎹❤️👍
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free.
Romans 3:23
John 3:16😊
These a truly special videos. Listening to Schumann’s work on the actual piano that some of this music might have been composed on is like being in a time machine to a very important musical past. Thank you for making these videos.
Thank you for listening to her music
@@TiffanyPoonpianistI have a slight impression that the piano is out of tune ,it was fine
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.

It's an absolute beauty. Thank You, Tiffany, for the inspiration. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Wow! I can imagine Clara sitting there playing this beautiful nocturne! Your performance is so beautiful, Tiffany! I think she infused you with the magic of her touch and brilliant presentation of her composition. What an honor to play on her piano.
Can't believe this video was recorded 1 year ago, I still can feel your love for both Clara & Robert Schumann's music. time flies..
Thanks to you Schumann is growing on me.
two years ago you introduced me to clara through this piece and i'm forever grateful. i learned it immediately after listening to your recording and to this day remains one of my favorite pieces i've played. holds a very special place in my heart :)
Ohhh 🥺🙏❤️🎶
What structure have designed Clara in that piece? What's the harmony behind it? If you really appreciate this piece, you can easily answer this sort of questions.
Otherwise you're just a dilettante.
@@terroir225 Well, I'm afraid you got the wrong end of the stick. I'm just claiming that the musical theory and the structure of a piece are connected in some sense. Of course you can enjoy a piece without those factors, but you'll deeply understand a piece when you identify this sort of details).
But that's true. I didn't read a degree in philosophy at University and my questions were about a certain MUSICAL aspect (rhythm, harmony, structure...), not about philosophical and subjective problems..
@@JP-ku5hw Are you really think someone will answer this question? When a person says how much he like something, and then you just randomly say: If you can't answer this question you don't apprechiate it. It's senseless.
Please, as Tiffany everytime says, be kind. Seems like many people are not kind to you, but you shouldn't be the same to other people.
@@superkalifragilistisch6511 Yeah I hope someone can identify this kind of details when he is a listener. That's my dream.
If it makes you feel rather bad, you're taking it personally)
I really hoped you would record this particular piece in this particular piano 🤍 thank you for sharing Clara's music
😊🎶
You are so damn talented it almost discourages me from becoming a pianist. The colors you bring into your playing and the control in your playing is just spectacular. You know exactly what to bring out in your playing, what the composers were thinking in each measure, and which emotions to bring out where and when. I geniuenly think you are one of the best of this generation
Clara Schumann's composition output stopped because of her struggle for Robert, for their seven children and for her most impressive career as a concert pianist to keep up the family after Robert's early death. Today we still can appreciate the beautiful pieces she wrote as a girl and a young woman. Your intuitional and artistic way of getting into the composer's mind and your fantastic playing help us to do that.
Nice to heare you Tiffany. So calme and with much empaty. Thanks.
Clara schuman is realy somthing different, I never listen to this but I'm actually quite surprised, love it.
True... Thanks!
I was listening to the 3rd movement of her piano concerto when the notification appeared, this is definitely a treat!!
Seems like you had a great encore!
The sound of the piano express a special feeling
I'm sure her spirit would be proud of your playing her work on her very own piano..... Truly beautiful.... The piano being old just gives that unique experience of sound and emotion..... Thank you.
Thank you, I tried my best...though could be better
I love these episodes. Would be awesome if you did other famous pianist like Rach, Chopin and Ravel. Going to their hometown and playing their pianos

First of all, these pieces played on this piano is something wonderful to witness.
Second, 300K SUBS WOOOOOO
Thank you so much. You and Clara's piano definitely made friends.
I feel transported to a new level after seeing you first experience Clara's piano in your previous video, and now seeing & hearing this beautiful nocturne from it's Mother's own "voice" 💞🎶🎹🎶💞
Here early for the algorithm but also to say congratulations on 300k subs! it is incredibly well deserved and I hope you can continue to grow to the millions :)
I always really appreciate early comments 🙏🥺
Simply beautiful sound, is so nice to see your evolution, great artist, thank You so much! 👏👏👏👏
I stopped what I was doing just to watch this because I love this nocturne so much and discovered it to thanks to you darling. Thank you so much for this beautiful music video
Indeed, I can hear clearly how much your interpretation have changed. Like someone below said, it's like a time traveling and you do it so well that I lose myself in your music. Thank you for that!
Thank you for sharing all the new music and for playing it for us. It means a lot to me.
You are always an inspiration for me. ❤️❤️
Thank you Clara for playing
300K subscribers, whoo-hoo!! 🎉 If anything deserves this it's your channel with such wonderful content. Definitely a gain for Classical music. Congratulations!
congratulations on 300k subs! much deserved
I'm going to my first piano lesson today, and I found your channel when I was researching what a Harpsichord is. I love your message (and playing)! Empathy is everything
Thank you. Enjoy your first lesson!!
@TiffanyPoon beautifully played
I fell in love with this piece just from the little bit you played in your last vlog, it was my first time hearing it. So afterwards, I listened to a few interpretations including yours from 2019 because I wanted to listen to the full piece. However, I felt like something was missing. This video is that missing piece, it is beautiful. Thank you so much.
Once again, beautiful, and very wise words indeed.
My favorite piece of hers!
Thank you!!
Very beautiful playing, on a very beautiful piano. Thank you for sharing this with us!!
I don't listen to Chopin really, but I must say, this piece is very beautiful and beautifully written. It is interesting you described it in the short essay afterwards as 'bare', because it does sound simple, in some sense, but it is in a very austere and beautiful way. Almost like a pre-Bach baroque composer but writing in the 1800s idiom. Very very neat! I should give Clara Schumann a visit
CONGRATULATIONS on 300k subs and this is simply Divine thank you
Clara's music is so beautiful and magical 😍...and u play it with such emotion that the whole experience of listening to it is enchanting 🌟
Wow! Absolutely amazing, Tiffany! What a special experience it must be to play this piece on a piano Clara herself once owned. I really enjoyed your reflection towards to end of the video; I think your words speak to the kind of musician you are. To be able to acknowledge some of the misgivings you had about Clara's nocturnes in comparison to Chopin's, and then to be able to learn, grow, and perform them at this high of a level is a testament to not only your musicianship, but to the kind of person you are.
As a clarinetist, I do not get to perform a lot of works by either of the Schumanns. However, through my additional piano studies, I've begun to understand them more and appreciate the genius of their music. I hope to keep learning and growing, just like you! :)
🙏🤗💪🎶
Have you learned fantasiestucke? Cellists love to steal that piece haha 😛, but it’s originally for clarinet!
Hi Tiffany, Beautifully played, as always. It must have been very exciting to play Clara's piano; something that will be in your memory bank forever. In addition to the music, I enjoyed the thoughtful commentary that followed it. Thank you for sharing your talent and wisdom.
Thank you Tiffany .
Great comments at the end - when we recognize the value of others - then we ourselves start to grow.
This was amazing. Wonderful playing, as always. And you became one with that vintage instrument so beautifully.
Thanks Tiffany... Beautiful!
Truly wonderful!! And wow that piano!
Beautiful. Thank you ☺️
Wow. I hadn't seen any of your videos in a while, Tiffany, and this level of introspection and growth from you, as a concluding commentary, is honest and touching. On another channel, one of my former teaching tools, I had subscribed to you since you were a child, and I liked seeing that you had carried your channel forward as an adult. Right now, I see a new growth and maturity in your thought process and analysis that's moved your process forward; please continue this.
I had to again listen to the piece after reading your thoughts on Clara.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for this wonderful piece.
Really beautiful ❤🦋
Beautiful
Clara Schumann is so underrated
Fantastic, God blessed this.
Oh my! 1:36 with that little flurry of notes is just breathtaking!
Thanks for uploading your performance on this historic piano.
Lovely music, and great to hear it played on Clara’s piano. Your end notes were interesting - thanks for sharing your thoughts as well as your performance!
Really good.
Amazing.😮
Tiffany, thank you for sharing this. I’m at awe at Clara’s incredible music, which you have brought to life in a breathtaking performance. Thank you. 🥲
Thank you for sharing her music to us.
Working on new lyrics came over here found you I am now relaxing. The great Tiffany thank you.
This is an honour to hear
I kind of let out a little cheer when that first trill came out so well after you showed how the shallow action on that piano made them tricky.
I like your comments on the importance of context in evaluating a piece. I often like to compare and contrast different pieces (and general things in life), not because I think they should all be some ideal, but that their differences can highlight what should be appreciated in each. As always, thank you for sharing!
Aww you remember from my vlog! 😅🙏
Wonderful!!!
Congratulations on hitting 300k! 🥳
Beautiful!
Great❤️❤️
Beautiful playing as always, the end text is quite philosophical and partly inspiring. And congrats on 300k!
Your thoughts after this beautiful interpretation are so modest and well put!
Thank you for sharing:)
Thank you for reading!
Just wowed 😲
This Stein piano sounds so beautiful, i read a while ago that Beethoven once declined a Stein piano because his gentle singing tone didnt allow him play with his own voice, altough he tought it was an isntrument of the highest quality. This videos made me understand more about my two favorite composers Schumann and Beethoven, thank you.
Beautiful performen
Congratulations on reaching 300k Tiffany, you have earned it. Thanks for brightening everyones days with your friendly and positive nature. Greetings from Germany! I hope to visit one of your concerts one day.
What a beautiful piece and a beautiful performance. Thank you for this.
superb!
That was sublime, thank you Tiffany
Beautiful melody, historic too-Bravo
Beautiful piece and beautifully played 👏
Very beautiful playing👍✅
Amazing video, Tiffany 😊
Thank you Tiffany, I can tell you had to work at this piece on this piano to achieve this performance. You might seem very young to an oldie, but I think Clara was a lot younger when she wrote this nocturne. It is wonderful the piano has been kept in a good condition, to give a fascinating insight into how it would have sounded at the time. You are providing a service to music.
YES FINALLY, I NEEDED THIS, A SECOND PERFORMANCE!
Wow! This is so lovely ❤️❤️ I like much it's pureness. And very important and inspiring what you write at the end.
That piano sounds absolutely ghostly omg. Love it.
克拉拉這麼偉大的女性，流傳後世的音樂竟是這麼的不普及。克拉拉的曲子實在很好聽，謝謝 Tiffany。
I enjoyed that good job.
this is the best video on youtube probably
Skvělé !!!
amazing!
I'm still amazed at the wonderful condition this instrument is in.
OMG I MUST LEARN THIS PIECE IT IS DIVINE AND HOLY!
The dynamics you achieve are very impressive, regarding the tiny margins on that piano you talked about in your vlog. Sounds great. :)
THANK YOU THESE PEACEFUL, GRACEFUL, SOMETIMES EXUBERANTLY EXCITING RESPITES FROM MY HECTIC DAY. I HAVE YOU ON WHEN I DO SURGERY WHICH HELPS US ALL IN THE OR. DID I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THAT CLARA IS A FAVORITE COMPOSER OF YOURS? ANYWAY, THANK YOU.
When music is your soul and passion. Even if you dont know how to play piano. There's a deep urge that you should play piano or music it brings you to different places that you didn't visit. For my instance I don't know how to play piano but I sing and that is my passion. Even my ex wanted me to sing for here everyday. If I only knew how to play piano. That's a great combination.
Some say Tiffany will notice your comments. I will take my chance. 😊
I read all... 😉
I loved reading what you wrote in the end. I actually find this nocturne so unique and uncomparable to others. It has this cold evening dew feel to it. Reminiscent of things to come in the future and being okay with things of the past. It’s also written in a unique style so ahead of her time and sounds like late romantics period… that gives it this feminine unique quality soft and bossy woman like who is in love and know what she wants 😍
Thank you so much
It made my day ❤️
I love Clara Schumann's works
They are so soulful
I don't know why she's so underrated
Being a woman is enough, foe her to be underrated.
Wow, I didn't realize how much better a modern piano sounds compared to a 200-year-old one. You definitely brought out the best this saloon-sounding piano had to offer.
The tuning is a little off, that is all.
@@stewartkingsley It's a little more than bad tuning. Listen carefully. Joplin would sound perfect on this antique.
I believe the tuning of this piano is likely different than the piano we are used to today. 100 years ago they tuned A to 432hZ and nowadays A is tuned to 440hZ, a slight but noticeable difference. I agree the piano definitely seems a tad out of tune though
Thank you for a wonderful morning wake up to Clara Schumman =v=
What a privilege Tiffany!
Tiffany wonderful capturing the mood .I hate to be a begger but I would love to you play Clara Schumann's Variations on a Theme.
300K SUBS!!! yippee! Amazing playing as always :)
Wonderful as always. I noticed those keys seem to have a much shallower press depth. Must have taken some getting used to... Thanks again Tiffany.
Clara's compositions were (and still are) superb, in many ways much more unique than Schumann's. She stopped herself to evolve as a composer exactly the same day she got married to Robert, to devote her life to him. Actually, she thought that a woman is utterly unable to compose at the same level as a man. She was a much better pianist than Robert and could have been a much better composer. In fact, she was the first professional pianist to behave in the same way a modern concert pianist behaves. By the way, the nocturne in F major was composed when she was sixteen.
Where did you find this sort of ‘information’?
At the end of his life R. Schumann designed pieces for a big orchestra and he somehow innovated his own style.
And meanwhile Clara, just a talented woman, composed some pieces for one instrument and he didn’t change his music at all.
That’s the difference between a great artist and a good pianist).
Mhh, I do not think so. Of course, she first reduced herself, but in the end, she financed the whole family. Nobody knows if she would have become an even greater composer. He could no longer play because of an illness in his hand (he never had cut it which is considered fake news). Schumann's music is special while she never could develop composing to higher levels. Nobody knows the answer what would have been if... 😊
Clara being a much better pianist than Robert is a hard no. Clara was undoubtedly amazing, and I do mean Amazing with a capital A ,even the most misogynist of men from her era would not dare deny her talent but Robert was a monster of a composer and innovator of the Romantic style of music.
2:05 this always gives me visions of a medieval scene where I see myself as a Knight in Armour riding a horse
