For a person of one hundred year old to play with such accuracy and feeling is a magnificent effort. As an 89 year old retired pianist and music teacher I well know all the problems besetting one in old age. Those who gave thumbs down should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
The pianist is the 103-year old madame Thái Thị Liên (born August 4, 1918), the mother of Dang Thai Son, first prize winner of the 1980 Chopin competition in Warsaw. She graduated from the Prague Conservatory.
Oh my goodness!!! That is wonderful!! When I was younger I was given lessons in guitar and organ. It was very short lived only a semester. My parents were not well off, but I truly would love to go back to music and learn piano. I did cheat though, with learning music, I wrote the letters instead. 😂
Helle!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe!!
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. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤😊❤
I don’t play an instrument, unless you count my voice, this Beautiful Lady is an absolute joy. To be 103 and still playing Piano the way She does, God Bless this Amazing Woman and may She be an Inspiration to Everyone in the World!

I am 70 yrs. Started learning Keyboard recently. Age is not a constraint for learning the instrument, if there is a strong willingness to learn. Practicing is the key word.
Chopin's music is some of the most difficult I have ever learned. To watch and listen to this marvelous 100 year old is such a joy! My mom is 98 and can still play Clair de Lune! God bless our elders!
That is so inspiring. My husband bought me a piano for Christmas. After watching the Pianist for the twentieth time now I am learning how to play the piano. Chopin is my goal...a few measures at a time. Btw...I'm 58.
I have been teaching piano to a 75 year old. She loves it. People always ask me if children learn faster than adults. I say that the ones who practice more learn faster.
Музыка уносит ее в далекое,далекое детство,отрочество,в молодость........,и,пока она играет,она молода,красива,сильна.Любит жизнь,любит его......,она счастлива....А Музыка вознаграждает ее ,продлевая ее жизнь.Вот как выглядит СЧАСТЬЕ
Too many people judge Perfection by the technique but as you can see in this beautiful performance it has to do with emotion and soul. I saw Segovia in his 80s & it was wonderful🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
As a pianist less than half her age I applaud her on her technique and the fact that is stitched in her brain that she can play such a difficult piece from memory. That is dedication and a love for music to say the least. My hat is off to her to be able to not only remember the notes but to get her hundred year old fingers to play so elegantly!!
This is amazing. I am 12 years old and I have been trying to play Chopin but it is so difficult. However, this video was an ecouragement for me. Thank you 😊
@@d.martinez-rodriguez333 I love this reply... am magic with computers but I think I would give it up to play piano. It's in my family but I didn't follow... go!
I started playing piano at 8 years of age. I am 75 years old (soon to be 76) and on the occasion of my 50th birthday, my husband purchased a (very) grand piano for me. It has since, been my pride and joy all these years. More importantly, it is the single most treasured and loved representation of my Beloved's devotion and love to me. And, imagine, after 42 years of marriage he still takes my breath away!
Не надо думать о возрасте. Не стоит ему дань отдавать. Нужно просто оставаться человеком на протяжение всей жизни, как бы это не было трудно. И желательно счастливым человеком. А вот что такое человек..., затрудняюсь пока ответить. Прожил более полвека, да так и остался для меня человек неразгаданной загадкой...
I just started taking piano lessons at 74, I thought I was going to play on my mother's piano which I inherited but at it's first tuning was told the bass bridge had collapsed and it was not fixable so my husband bought me a baby grand on which to learn, as his last gift to me shortly before he passed away. I have a wonderful encouraging young woman who is very patient with me. I am finding that at times my fingers do not cooperate with my wishes but I would hope to be able to continue to 100 as this amazing lady has done. Things do change in the brain ( I am finding out) and our population is scurged with demensia and Alzheimer's, so one of my many motivations was to ward off further inevitable deterioration. It's a fascinating topic, the brain and learning music. In addition, I am truly very much enjoying it, pretty much a consuming new hobby. And in case anyone is interested I really do see significant changes in my brain. So sorry to the person whose mother stopped teaching adults, it's rather a disservice, but I do understand it would take a special person to continue teaching someone who doesn't align with the "normal" progress.
I find this very moving. I wish for myself as a pianist to become 100 years old and still being able to play like this. Her joints are still in excellent shape for a person of 100 years old. It's amazing! And still having the ability to hear anything in the first place....She is really a lovely lucky lady!
Thumbs up, dear lady, for your longevity and your artful performance of Chopin! And thank you for the pleasure of hearing and watching you play the Steinway.
Remarkable how Asians worship the old and wise people. I‘m German and am so sad, that this is not the same here. We all should listen to the wisdom of elder persons. They know, what they are talking about ❤️🙌🙏❤️
For us, honoring our parents is the best fortune money can't buy. And I'm also Christian, of which it's also stated in the 10 Commandments, Honor your parents.
Just amazing! The dexterity of her fingers, compared to the rest of the body... hard to imagine anyone still playing so beautifully at this age, or even living to this age... it’s wonderful to see!
She is a national treasure! My friend Rosa Rio died just short of her 108th birthday. She was playing 2 shows a day at the Tampa Theater in Florida. She was sharp as a tack until two days before she passed. God bless this person. True genius never dies.
Thank You So Much for posting about Rosa here !! I only just found out about Rosa's passing.. Musicians being older /elder Musicians that is to deem them , is to be able to know soul lives through whatever life is here and now and transcend it too! Bless All Musicians and Gratitude to Rosa and Mme Lien !! Play On!!
What a wonderful life - when you are a100 and the whole world now can hear your music ...people in different corners of the globe .. Amazing on so many levels!
I am now 72 and did not start composing for piano until age 58 after 52 years of playing the music of all the greats. I haven't played anyone else's music for 14 years and now have about 200 compositions including the 9-piece Rasputin Rhapsody I'm just completing. Never too late to explode in creativity.
I believe that anyone playing a musical instrument, especially a piano, is destined for a long life. My sister-in-law is 94, still teaches piano ad many of her students go into state competition, I also met a lady, also 94 in France who also teaches piano.
It's amazing she can even play at all when she could barely walk, and couldn't even sit down by herself. Chopin til the end! I certainly want to hear him up to my final days...wish I could play him myself as good as her! I have to settle for listening to others...
Pen Name lol 😂🌷🌹♥️a great performance I struggle to practice my piano she inspires Im only in my 60’s bravo 🎵🎵I w IN A PIANO CLASS THE LADIES WERE IN THEIR 90’s 2 of them and they played very well . One lady passed 😢✝️🙏🏻💜
That is the beauty of music and art. When you are no longer able to play sports, you always have these gifts! More power to you all who have started music lessons later in life. It is never to late!!!! ❤️
Yes.This gives me hope.Before my late husband was convincing me to learn to play the piano.He does and so all our four kids.Now I am encouraged to learn.She is is inspiring.
Sometimes when young musicians play technically « perfect » pieces it can feel so artificial and lifeless. This piece the way she plays it is so flawed and yet full of life, experience, sorrow: it’s imperfections are of time. I love it!
Attention: tiffy What do you mean by "flawed???" See if you will live to a century years old and even have her memory. You are FLAWED, tiffy. ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT from you.
Mei Leng I'm sorry you have no right here to berate Tiffany. She has every right to her opinions which I don't think there was anything negative except for the word 'flawed'.when you took it out of context
This video made me feel so much. What a celebration of not only the music but her life work and love. What a beautiful special rendition of this piece. I hope I can play like that when I’m 100
What’s so remarkable is that ppl forget that elders have been there, done that, and have the answers to many things, and all u have to do is ask a wise old person about anything, about life, and their answer will be far better than ur friends or family simply because they have seen more than the rest of us.
@@elizabethcollins1313 And the elders give u an answer in 5 min. that is so satisfying, but ppl prefer to pay an analyst stranger $100 for an hour of vacant information. I love talking to wise elders. It’s baffling that so many don’t realize they r there for us for a reason.
AMAZING and priceless! A great inspiration for anyone who thinks they're too old to stop enjoying life and do what they love. Thank you for sharing! 😊❤️
Truly amazing. What alacrity and concert presence. Such a way of playing shows a way that is rarely found today outside the presence of Rubinstein and Horowitz.
I can see how, by looking at this wonderful video of Mme Thai Thi Lien, it encourages many to look beyond the cruel barriers of age! She is a true icon for many musicians! Mr. Son is so fortunate to have always had such a wonderful mother.
What an inspiration, I have just started learning to play the accordion again after a nigh on 50-year absence at a mere 74 years of age, and enjoying it tremendously......{;o;}
Probably the first time, ever, that I have had the honour to listen to a great musician with the age in 3 digits. Much Honour to Mme Thai Thi Lien, in Vietnam !!!
ЭТО ПОТРЯСАЕТ , ОШЕЛОМЛЯЕТ !!! КАКАЯ ТЕХНИКА , МУЗЫКАЛЬНОСТЬ , ДОСТОИНСТВО , ОТНОШЕНИЕ К ЗРИТЕЛЮ !!! ЧЕЛОВЕК ВЕРШИНА СОВЕРШЕНСТВА !!! ОТДЕЛЬНЫЕ ЕГО ПРЕДСТАВИТЕЛИ !!! ТОЧНО !!! СПАСИБО !!! РАССТРОГАЛИ !!!
Огромное спасибо всем кто причастен к этому высочайшему гуманизму,который бесценен: это и преклонение перед почтенным возрастом, это -преклонение перед одним из высочайших искусств,как фортепианное исполнительство,и конечно,это высочайший воспитательный процесс посредством демонстрации волшебной силы искусства великих композиторов, /Шопен. Мазурка. /еще раз утвердить уважение к возрасту,к искусству,к человеческому общению на высочайшем цивилизованном культурном уровне. БРАВО!!!
Любовь к музыке в любом возрасте остаётся, тем более у тех, кто исполнял Шопена и желание постоянно возвращаться к его музыке велико. Понятно,что движет этой пожилой, уважаемой даме. Молодец, она сохранила своё увлечение.
Thank you, thank you so much for this lovely performance, dear Madame Thai Thi Lien, I feel so much blessed to hear it. I bow my head before your loveliness of soul and immense beauty of your playing of Chopin Mazurka, that is felt in every single note which the grand piano sings with you in such deep tenderness.
I had the great pleasure to be at and hear Mieczyslaw Horszowski’s recital at Town Hall at age 100 and converse with him back stage about his recording of Brahms Horn Trio, Op. 40 with my Horn teacher, John Barrows.
mocmus mocmus Amen. I’ve always thought the piano had the toughest part, followed by the violin. The horn part isn’t easy, but compared to it’s partners, it’s the least difficult. Mr. Horszowski was exquisite as is shown by his contemporaneous recordings.
Well, Avrum Golub, being tone deaf myself I actually find piano the easier, with its pre-tuned notes that I can play from sheet music (I learned at school), I took violin lessons just a few years ago and only managed that with note markers on the frets and bowing notes on the sheet music though my family had professional solo violinists. Anything wind was beyond me.
A lot of solipsistic people in the comments section talking about how old they are and how they’ve just started playing or they’ve been playing for x number of years. Guess what? This video is not about YOU! It’s about a 100 year old woman playing Chopin as well as she can for an audience completely from memory.
Neil Cowan Rubbish! Fingers can't do a damn thing without mind. There is no such thing as muscle memory - just memory, and it's located in the brain. Also, what makes you assume her mind isn't razor sharp?
Mike Williams because she had some memory lapses and stumbles. It can occur in any age group. My concert pianist friend Steven Gordon had memory lapses and took beta blockers. I am 78 and wish I played anywhere as well as she does. My mind and fingers have forgot. Not enough practice!
Absolutely beautiful. This woman is amazing. When I was a young girl I'd sit at the piano for hours. I'd go with my friends to their piano lessons and sit and watch them learn. (I learned the notes from our once a week music classes at school.) One day my Dad, God rest his soul, asked if I'd like to take lessons. I being an active busy teen at the time turned it down because I wanted to practice when I wanted too, not because I must. I have kicked myself over and over again for my STUPIDITY. If I had to do it over I'd jump at that offer without a second thought. I seriously doubt that I'd ever reach this Beautiful Lady's level but I'd be far better than I am now. WOW what a performance. My love and respect to her wherever she is today, and thank you for such magic. God must be so happy and proud that she did not throw it away. 😊

She is Madame Thai Thi Lien - one of the first person who build up Vietnam National Academy of Music. And she is Dang Thai Son’s Mother too
Lovely!
Thank you!
Dang Thai Son is walking her to the piano at the beginning of the video.
is she Vietnamese?
@@gailland8681 yes
We have the record of Dang Thai Son from 1980 Chopin Competition ( Muza SX 2095)
It's amazing she can even play at all when she could barely walk, and couldn't even sit down by herself. Chopin til the end! I certainly want to hear him up to my final days...wish I could play him myself as good as her! I have to settle for listening to others...
Bravo. And all her friends have passed, save for one... Chopin.
Beautifully said.
so very true
Daaaaammmmmnnnn
Pen Name lol 😂🌷🌹♥️a great performance I struggle to practice my piano she inspires Im only in my 60’s bravo 🎵🎵I w IN A PIANO CLASS THE LADIES WERE IN THEIR 90’s 2 of them and they played very well . One lady passed 😢✝️🙏🏻💜
Rr 33 re 5@@theryanjester7209 re 32we
That is the beauty of music and art. When you are no longer able to play sports, you always have these gifts! More power to you all who have started music lessons later in life. It is never to late!!!! ❤️
Never underestimate what a person has done in their life and is still capable of doing. Bravo! 💐
Yes.This gives me hope.Before my late husband was convincing me to learn to play the piano.He does and so all our four kids.Now I am encouraged to learn.She is is inspiring.
Fantastic . A most memorable event for anyone viewing it. Complete admiration for the organizer. Salute to the 100 year old musician
Sometimes when young musicians play technically « perfect » pieces it can feel so artificial and lifeless. This piece the way she plays it is so flawed and yet full of life, experience, sorrow: it’s imperfections are of time. I love it!
Good madam, you're still active in your age, thumbs up
Not imperfection, perfection from her heart and soul! Beautiful music from a beautiful Lady. God bless!🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Something about your comment was so sweet, yet so funny.
Attention: tiffy
What do you mean by "flawed???"
See if you will live to a century years old and even have her memory.
You are FLAWED, tiffy.
ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT from you.
Mei Leng I'm sorry you have no right here to berate Tiffany. She has every right to her opinions which I don't think there was anything negative except for the word 'flawed'.when you took it out of context
This video made me feel so much. What a celebration of not only the music but her life work and love. What a beautiful special rendition of this piece. I hope I can play like that when I’m 100
What’s so remarkable is that ppl forget that elders have been there, done that, and have the answers to many things, and all u have to do is ask a wise old person about anything, about life, and their answer will be far better than ur friends or family simply because they have seen more than the rest of us.
The world full of ignorance
@@elizabethcollins1313
And the elders give u an answer in 5 min. that is so satisfying, but ppl prefer to pay an analyst stranger $100 for an hour of vacant information. I love talking to wise elders. It’s baffling that so many don’t realize they r there for us for a reason.
Our old people are an encyclopedia of wisdom and knowledge, a pity that we do not pay much attention in our time to this category of geniuses.
How can anyone NOT give this a thumbs up????
Because at least 231 are very jealous!!
John Uscian that is what I was wondering!
280 now!
Because some are thicker than others
@Val O'Brien Perhaps you might like to upload your own performance. By the way, how old are you?
The music she played was well done especially at 100 years but just as important are the feelings the music allows you to experience.
If someone has any doubt on:
What is humanly possible?
What does music do to you?
Show them this!! Inspirational 🙏🏼🙌
OMG… She is incredible. I love her! What a gift.
Wonderful she have a big age. But her mind and fingers are in good condition I love to hear and learn from the elderly People . May God bless her.
And may karma bless you.
Dang Thaison's Chopin's preludes are my favorite. Wow, his mother was also such a great pianist! Very memorable. I hope she'll keep playing!
What you need to be (and remain!) ROMANTIC, in order to perform Frederic Chopin at the age of 100! BRAVO!
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Hats off to this lady. I have been playing the piano since I was four. I am approaching 45 in September.
Truly amazing but also the fact she is doing this without sheet music!! What a wonderful, graceful lady. 😘💕
AMAZING and priceless! A great inspiration for anyone who thinks they're too old to stop enjoying life and do what they love. Thank you for sharing! 😊❤️
Truly amazing. What alacrity and concert presence. Such a way of playing shows a way that is rarely found today outside the presence of Rubinstein and Horowitz.
She's Blessed just to live to be 100 years old.
That's a curse not a blessing.
There are more than 80,000 people over 100 in the U.S.. 1.2 MILLION by the year 2030.

How dare anyone "dislike" this. So wonderful she can still play, and if you want to dis, best check how well you play now, and when you are 100.
How are you doing 😊👋☺️☺️👋
I can see how, by looking at this wonderful video of Mme Thai Thi Lien, it encourages many to look beyond the cruel barriers of age! She is a true icon for many musicians! Mr. Son is so fortunate to have always had such a wonderful mother.
Absolutely incredible! Played as Chopin should be. Brava!
bravo
When I'm 100 I just hope I remember what a piano is and does.
I don't know how old you are, but it's good that you're claiming to live at the age of 100 or maybe older than that!
What an inspiration, I have just started learning to play the accordion again after a nigh on 50-year absence at a mere 74 years of age, and enjoying it tremendously......{;o;}
Phenomenal!! Bravo 👏 I had tears in my eyes before the 1st note .
Какая Молодец!Красивая,Умница,исполнила исключительно.Браво!!!🤗👏💕❤️🙏❤️❤️
Una dama de 100 años de edad tocando el piano??.. Pero qué fantástico!!!!. Gracias abuelita, por este momento emotivo.
Sem partitura !!!!!!
Фантастика. Замечательно
She plays with such feeling it makes me cry and chills both ! Beautiful
Probably the first time, ever, that I have had the honour to listen to a great musician with the age in 3 digits. Much Honour to Mme Thai Thi Lien, in Vietnam !!!
Che bella sorpresa x me !!grazie cara signora ❣
Lo

ОТДЕЛЬНЫЕ ЕГО ПРЕДСТАВИТЕЛИ !!!

All Chopin’s works are Masterpieces
She began to walk straighter and faster as she heard the applause and saw the people. Amazing what positive affirmation does to one's soul and body.
What a darling senior lady. I have one surviving aunt of 92 who is absolutely amazing and in perfect health for her age! God bless them!! ♥️🌺♥️
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
What a fantastic performance..........Never too old to play indeed.......
Truly amazing, What a honor!!!! Her Brain can still remember those tunes.
Огромное спасибо всем кто причастен к этому высочайшему гуманизму,который бесценен: это и преклонение перед почтенным возрастом, это -преклонение перед одним из высочайших искусств,как фортепианное исполнительство,и конечно,это высочайший воспитательный процесс посредством демонстрации волшебной силы искусства великих композиторов, /Шопен. Мазурка. /еще раз утвердить уважение к возрасту,к искусству,к человеческому общению на высочайшем цивилизованном культурном уровне. БРАВО!!!
Любовь к музыке в любом возрасте остаётся, тем более у тех, кто исполнял
Шопена и желание постоянно возвращаться к его музыке велико. Понятно,что движет этой пожилой, уважаемой даме. Молодец, она сохранила своё увлечение.
She is incredible !!!!! That is what you call pure passion!!!!!
Beautiful! Music is healing and love 💖 Thank you for sharing this beautiful performance by Mme Thai Thi Lien 🌹🌹🌹💕
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Thank you for the share!! To make it to 100 and still be able to jam is an unimaginable accomplishment.
A pure joy to hear her play Chopin. At 77 I still play and enjoy every time that I do. Grateful for all the piano lessons years ago.
How are you doing today my name is Eric
Bravo, Amazing how she remembers the music and the dynamics. Watching from Pasay City, Philippines 🇵🇭.
At first it looked like she was having a problem and also praying. She is so terrific that words cannot describe her.
Thank you, thank you so much for this lovely performance, dear Madame Thai Thi Lien, I feel so much blessed to hear it. I bow my head before your loveliness of soul and immense beauty of your playing of Chopin Mazurka, that is felt in every single note which the grand piano sings with you in such deep tenderness.
Amazing that she can still play and remember the notes. What a clarity of mind. I guess she never stop playing the piano.
I had the great pleasure to be at and hear Mieczyslaw Horszowski’s recital at Town Hall at age 100 and converse with him back stage about his recording of Brahms Horn Trio, Op. 40 with my Horn teacher, John Barrows.
Avrum Golub that must have been something. That horn trio is a beast for the pianist!! I’ve played it.
mocmus mocmus Amen. I’ve always thought the piano had the toughest part, followed by the violin. The horn part isn’t easy, but compared to it’s partners, it’s the least difficult.
Mr. Horszowski was exquisite as is shown by his contemporaneous recordings.
Well, Avrum Golub, being tone deaf myself I actually find piano the easier, with its pre-tuned notes that I can play from sheet music (I learned at school), I took violin lessons just a few years ago and only managed that with note markers on the frets and bowing notes on the sheet music though my family had professional solo violinists. Anything wind was beyond me.
I started playing at 50 and I thought I was old. Wow so inspiring ❤much love from Miami
A lot of solipsistic people in the comments section talking about how old they are and how they’ve just started playing or they’ve been playing for x number of years. Guess what? This video is not about YOU! It’s about a 100 year old woman playing Chopin as well as she can for an audience completely from memory.
The fingers remember what the mind may not-
yes
Part of the mind remembers everything!Yes muscle memory. The 🖐️fingers just follow the deep commands.
Neil Cowan Rubbish! Fingers can't do a damn thing without mind. There is no such thing as muscle memory - just memory, and it's located in the brain. Also, what makes you assume her mind isn't razor sharp?
Mike Williams because she had some memory lapses and stumbles. It can occur in any age group. My concert pianist friend Steven Gordon had memory lapses and took beta blockers. I am 78 and wish I played anywhere as well as she does. My mind and fingers have forgot. Not enough practice!
@@mikewilliams258 He is right. Muscle memory is a real thing. Google it.
Music is the most important element to be long life.
Fantastica!La musica rende giovani. Complimenti,l'esecuzione non è perfetta. Ma Chopin sarebbe felice d'ascoltarla.Rita
The only way I'd want to live to 100 is playing the piano as she is. Bravo!
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Absolutely beautiful. This woman is amazing. When I was a young girl I'd sit at the piano for hours. I'd go with my friends to their piano lessons and sit and watch them learn. (I learned the notes from our once a week music classes at school.) One day my Dad, God rest his soul, asked if I'd like to take lessons. I being an active busy teen at the time turned it down because I wanted to practice when I wanted too, not because I must. I have kicked myself over and over again for my STUPIDITY. If I had to do it over I'd jump at that offer without a second thought. I seriously doubt that I'd ever reach this Beautiful Lady's level but I'd be far better than I am now. WOW what a performance. My love and respect to her wherever she is today, and thank you for such magic. God must be so happy and proud that she did not throw it away. 😊
Helle!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe!!
I think the lady is in better shape that the ones “helping” her. Music rides a long lasted trip to the heart.
