Artistically mature young lady!

Meant to say she has a profound Grasp of her work; is this Cesar Franck's Nocturne MB 85 from 1884 ? No expert myself, she seems to me brilliant and this video, a work of art. Please visit my Favourites.

BarNuun: no, this is not by Cesar Franck, this is the Nocturne No.4 by Francis Poulenc (1934), and the video listing of the composer as 'Frank' is a mistake. It's played much slower here than the composer intended (Poulenc marks crotchet = 96 in the score), but that's because she loves every harmony and she wants the audience to have time to savour the harmonies too. I think she's right to overrule the composer as it sounds better like this ...

[BarNuun]

BrucknerEnthu: most grateful for your reply! So that explains perhaps a low View count for a composer unknown; no one was searching. If this interpretation is the teacher's idea it would be brilliant. If however from the pianist herself, enters a dimension different altogether, i.e. I would think the 'G' word.

[BrucknerEnthusiast]

I think the piece is about a haunted ballroom: I don't speak French, but there is a quotation on the score: "Bal fantome - pas une note des valses ou des scottishes ne se perdait dans toute la maison, si bien que le malade eut sa part de la fete et put rever sur son grabat aux bonnes annees de sa jeunesse' (I haven't included the accents). Can anyone translate this?

[sullicej]

according to an automatic translation from a website.. it translates as

"Bal fantome - not a note of waltzes or scottish is lost in the entire house, so that the patient had his share of the party and put on his mat rever good years of his youth."

[RationalEmotive]

I am sorry: What is the 'G' word you had in mind? Gould? If yes, I say you could be right. Although there are many children around the globe this age which can play the notes of complex pieces Yoon A In shows an extraordinary talent for intonation which makes her quite unique imho, certainly for her age.

I do not know the piece so I am out of my element. I would die to hear her play Schoenberg though.
