Yuja Wang plays the Flight of the Bumble-Bee (Vol du Bourdon)

[shenkeey]

Cziffra's version, correct?

[pianomyweakness]

Whomever posted this piece played by HJ LIM claims her version is the fastest :this is a lie! She misses several notes (she " swallows" them) shortly before the end of the piece,therefore the length of the piece is shortened!!!!

[pianomyweakness]

I would like to thank and congratulate the person who has posted this video and does not erase the unfavorable comments about this video.SHAME ON WHOMEVER HAS POSTED THE FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLE- BEE PLAYED BY H.J. LIM!! HE (SHE?) ERASES SYSTEMATICALLY ALL UNFAVOURABLE COMMENTS!!! THIS IS ANTI-DEMOCRATIC NON-TOLERANT!

[pianoxgeek]

OMG :O

[pianomyweakness]

Watch the phenomenal KATSARIS :he plays the complete version of that piece,which requires much more energy,in front of CZIFFRA(!). KATSARIS is definitely The BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pigup2]

I don't know guys.... from 1:09 to 1:13, look at the way the back of her arms jiggle...and her back muscular contractions..i think it's too fast. Also her hair moves a bit too quickly in my opinion. I'm calling elaborate shenanigans...It seems to be sped up in a few places.

She's obviously ridiculously talented and all, but I think it was tweaked a little.

[costas2102]

this girl is defenately not a human being...she is ALIEN for sure! human race can't play so fast. Yuja Wang tell us where do you come from? What does music mean to your Alien fellows? Are they all so fast like you out there? Teach us the way to play so fast!

[SongsOfTheStars]

DAMN THOSE MAGIC ASIANS

[bridget395]

i couldnt even hit the wrong keys that fast.

[lucasoloko01]

she fingered her boyfriend once, he died :O

[HITTHEROAD19]

Its more like the flight of a bumblebullet

[pianomyweakness]

i agree!!! KATSARIS IS DEFINITELY THE SUPER GREATEST!!!!!.!.

[pianomyweakness]

I agree:KATSARIS is the SUPER BEST!!!!!!

[C2F6S2O4Nmoins]

Watch the phenomenal CYPRIEN KATSARIS playing the COMPLETE version of this arrangement by CZIFFRA in the presence of Cziffra

[EpicAsianTube]

She gave someone a handjob before, he died....

[Cuddletoe]

why the hell did you speed it up?

[sluzki]

fuck

put it on 2x faster..

thats a jewish asian

[GForce923]

she should try death waltz...

[SpiffRogue]

@SpiffRogue Oh, sorry for my othographic mistake "*do", but I wrote it in 0,29 sec!

[Slushpuppy15]

imagine the sheet music for that...

[TheSecretAzNMan]

@Slushpuppy15 Why imagine when you can go look it up? I'm pretty sure Cziffra's transcriptions are a bit harder to find on IMSLP (since they might still be copyrighted) but you can find them...

[chalkymarco]

Piano level difficulty: Super hard????? no......ASIAN



[Bestofkitu]

297 pepole are so jalous !! xD

[bpoe7197]

@Bestofkitu 297 people can spell jealous.

[valterjardineiro]

I didn't knew that a person could move that fast...

[salbogex22]

So fast that the audio doesn't match with the video -___-

[Jondambra]

She's amazing I'm in love -3

[xZsas]

LVL on this?

ASIAN : D

[WHATSUPSON0]

I would be scared sh*tless if a bee was that fast.

[Tehruneguy777]

HOLY NUGGETS!

[mattmerolla]

SHE RAPED THAT POOR PIANO!

[CheckeredSparklez]

That is so fast

[joecapaldi]

Absolutely incredible. That can't be X1 speed...?!

[SiaoNginnA]

if you watch this without sound....

you will think this is a 32x speed up....

[mikekui]

I think that if you can play this as well as she, you may have the opportunity to say something about her ability. If you can't, then be more like me and just appreciate it for what it is. I couldn't play this anywhere nearly as fast. I couldn't play this at all; I'm not a pianist. But I type really well.

[honron21]

Peasoeortown!

[MrCappy4]

So many racist and sexist comments--I really wonder what mindless and sad jobs or unfulfilled lives some of the comment's reveal? Yuja --Asian or not--demonstrates what dedication, talent, practice and encouragement can achieve for a human being. That she seems a friendly and fun personality only continues the wonder of what we CAN be-not, as evidenced by some of the mindless rude babble here-what we CAN settle for! Bravo Yuja!

[RTM666]

I guess she's ok...

[nitronick389]

YOU DOCTOR YET?

[Nepats1112]

Asian dad:"not good nuff! Play backward!!!"

[calitats321]

@Nepats1112

Oh, you...

[thewiitry]

@0:01 ASIAN MODE ACTIVATED!

[jeanaoliver]

OH my god! she is AMAZING !! Can someone take me the sheetmusic of this version, i don't find it! PLEASE!!

[naomtish]

I wonder how the tabs of that music look -_-

[JonJonGriff]

Not only is she an amazing pianist, she's gorgeous!

[TheBatchingis]

She handjobed a guy once . He died...

[abbbez]

her dad is like you missed a note in the begining your a insolt to thiss famaly

[them413rkid]

She plays so fast, Youtube has a problem keeping up with her speed in some parts of the video O.O

[originalonree]

I'm sure she gives a mean handjob.

[Goku313]

Asian. Nuff said.

[iVeriCamaleonti]

Do you masturbate your self fast as it ?

[kendrikMN]

I want her to give me a hand job... kinda

[bluemaccaroon]

the people who disliked this.....they're really just jealous people who cant play a single note in piano. >:( this girl is good, just admit it!!

[bluemaccaroon]

the people who disliked this.....they're really just jealous people who cant play a single note in piano. >:(

[tjtheplay]

It's funny how this video gets two million views because everyone thinks this is a difficult piece but there are other pieces that she has played that makes this look like child's play.

This piece is overrated in difficulty.

[Santosificationable]

@tjtheplay Yes, because I think most of the people who did the comments here aren't really as good as you, and they think it'll take 80 years before they could play this. In actuality, you just need to know WHAT TO DO to play it. It'd be pretty easy for one who regularly exercises and who has played for what...say over 3-5 years? lol

[CatieCatb3]

@tjtheplay you're right. I know 10 year olds that can play this just as perfectly as her. It's really not that complicated once you have a solid base in piano playing. Yuja plays beautifully though. XD

[calitats321]

@CatieCatb3 No you don't. 10 year olds play the one finger version. This one is in alternating octaves. There is a big difference.

It is really that complicated. Many people can play this, but they can also play nearly anything Liszt wrote as well.

There are some kids playing really difficult pieces, but their repertoires consist of the five pieces that they will play for the next 5 years at competitions, so it really doesn't do them any good.

[CatieCatb3]

@calitats321 I was lying slightly. I know two people who could play this when they were ten. YES, this one. THIS ONE. They were talented beyond their years, okay? Sorry, I may have made a miscommunication.

[calitats321]

@CatieCatb3 Octaves and block chords very fast at 10 years old? No.

[CatieCatb3]

@calitats321 YES. I am NOT mistaken. It WAS. I'm not trying to say she ws PERFECT AND ABSOLUTELY AMAZING just like Yuja, but she could PLAY it adequately.

[CatieCatb3]

@CatieCatb3 And I was mistaken in saying in my first comment she played it just as perfect. That was actually part of another comment but the cursor was messed up, deleting and replacing several words.

[matepimp2o1o]

not flight of the bumblebee: this is flight of CHUCK NORRIS

[CKVNProduction1]

Difficulty : ASIAN

[hyderoshj]

lol!!!!!



[o0Biobug0o]

One word : ASIAN

[yukisanable]

..............asian...........­.....

[Xxemma78xX]

:O.

[ginbla]

Creepy...



[cherryandgrace1]

wow, you are amazing! I am now a huge fan!

[drawingbefun17]

I'd like to see her play death waltz by john stumps. :D

[darkgalaxyangel]

holy shit this is fast i dont understand how that piano dont explote xDDD

[TJniby1026lala]

She tore that piano up!!!!!! Riped it to shreds!!! The camera couldn't keep up with her hands. I loved it. It was Fantastic.

[Hydrnaros12]

Flight of the bumblebee is actually supposed to be that fast

[okaisza]

Łosz ku***a OCZOPLAS ale swietnie zagrane:D

[norulezzzz]

the original video was 15 hours long .. fast forwarded into this :)

[poeitwar]

Its stop-motion because the piano isnt broken by her awesomeness...



[Str8DropIzzy]

I wanna see her give a handy *-*

[sagardec31]

this gives a boost to all the feminists..:P

[KianaJKL]

OH WOW. -SPEECHLESS-

[Moreno3rece]

Seems legit.

[VillarrealHumberto]

LOOK THE VIDEOGAMEPIANIST MARTIN LUENG PLAYS FLIGHT OF HTE BUMBLE BEE

[IntelligentSkill]

She is fucking amazing I love her!

[Santosificationable]

Great piece. You may think this is played over 4 octaves (which is really just nigh impossible), but in actuality the left hand is kind of sacrificed to act in coordination with the right. As someone said on Cziffra's original recording, the left hand plays E, D, and C octaves respectively, while the right played E flat, and D flat respectively. Try it on your piano and find out that this piece, although more difficult than the older versions of bumblebee, is not as hard as you may have thought.

[IttsOver9OOO]

0__o...... oh wait she's Asian i guess it sll makes sense

[calitats321]

So it didn't make sense when cziffra played it faster and better?

[Pompadour123]

I wonder how she types on the computer...

[pineapplestudios0]

@Pompadour123 i bet I type faster than her! :P

[Pompadour123]

@pineapplestudios0 bet u cant

[wannabetoto]

@Pompadour123 the same way she handles a dick

[vokuheila]

I can't even play random notes this fast lol.. Even with killer bees over my head

[YFM]

oh shit

[K3n5hin]

if u have that fast fingers u don't need any vibrator in ur life ...

[WJE37FCSM]

It is interesting to note that Bumble Bees and Humming Birds create a sound by flapping their wings faster than twenty beats per second, the near threshold of human hearing. The individual pitch of middle A is 440 cycles per second. A pianist like Yuja is playing close to the 20 notes per second creating the illusion of the bumble bee doing its daily duty. I think that some amazing piano playing.

[BehindTheProscenium]

And afterwards, catch Miss Yuja Wang break another world record, the most times a person can crack their knuckles in a minute!

[calitats321]

Anybody who reduces Asians to level of pianism, and anybody who posts about handjobs: Go F#$% yourself.

[numex106]

that's one big bumblebee

[mremile72]

i love how fast she is YET she still maintains clarity :)

[Croatiansamurai]

Holy Shit that's fast O_O

[CooCurrent]

She must actually have the heart rate of a Bumble Bee as she plays this. Maybe about the speed of a Bees wings! lol

[TheDemigod007]

i'm asian. she's good. but not as good as me. LOL just kiddin

[runnerboy98]

Chuck Norris can play this on a triangle.

[captainkaelin]

@runnerboy98 sigh, seen that exact comment on at least 4 videos now

[AnhDauhp]

CHUCK NORRIS' daughter :O

[TheYOMOMMA123]

Her hands look like spiders having sejures

[asssssasassafd]

Asian dad: Good. Now do it backwards.

[GenieY23]

somebody help me pick up my jaw..

[magpipethai]

i wish i could play like that

[TheHelac]

imagine how FAST she can cook!

[BarksRosaRota]

It doesn´t have anything to do with them being asian, 3,8 billion peopel live in asia, thats more than half of the worlds population so we would expect half of the world records to be set by asians.

[MrKakashidude101]

I can't even do this playing single notes

[iNatalie]

Did someone change this video to 5x normal speed?

[HawaiianMartialArtis]

I couldn't even hit the WRONG notes that fast.

[S16Movies]

Now backwards :)

[xXxXNoRulezXxXx]

which one is faster? Maksim or her?

[alphabug9]

massacre of the killer bees

[StephenSimply]

it looks really fast, but when your actually playing it feels a lot slower. But to do this perfect? yes, level Asian.

[BloodyDarkRoses123]

stare at her breath....if its speeded up...thats mean she breath tooo slow -_-

[thecr0ssedline]

can't even catch her breath...

[Xx801xMONSTERxX]

Is she on crack because i never seen some one move there hands that fast

[BrownCookieBoy]

Ez

[S0vereignty]

One word. Asians.

[Nigro1998]

O.O wow

[alexandros789]

best part at 1:36...ahahahha

[abdox4life]

@alexandros789

[thewiitry]

@P5yM4st3r HOW IS THAT SPED UP? Look at her facial expressions their not sped up look at the people in the background they are not sped Up. Lots of people can play the piano much faster than that like me and you don't need to explain to people that's sped up. You don't need to be jealousy that you cant even play a note on the piano SO STFU you TROL

[epicawsomeusername]

@thewiitry lol i agree trol lol

[thewiitry]

The best parts are 0:00 - 1:42 seriously she's good

[Shyunshinzu]

Speechless

[BloodyDarkRoses123]

i think if we chat with her,mayb we will afraid...she reply to fast T_T

[puppiluver44]

I'm asian and i no it. but i still can't do this :( SOMEDAY I WILL. there are differnt levels of asian people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[InaudibleWhisper]

I literally couldn't play random gibberish that fast.

[soldierofhunnia]

IMPOSSIBRU!!!

[bertocaster]

I pitty her husband.

[vulcrums]

talented.. young.. and very beautiful..

[NickiMyEverything]

level of difficulty: Asian.

[calitats321]

Cziffra's recording is incomparably better.

[cookiefanable]

How to do this ? Be Asian.

[VavoTK]

I'm not the one who says this but i think it's speeded up

[BloodyDarkRoses123]

@VavoTK

if its speeded up...how about people that watching it -.- they watch the true <3

[VavoTK]

@BloodyDarkRoses123 The real may be a bit ...... wel not a bit little more than a bit Slower As a Pianist I can say that the first seconds are unnatural and as a programmer I can say that her hands in the video moved unnaturally seemed like speed up..... Yet if this is real THIS is JUST Awesome. No one else has that technique...

I'd recommend you to watch Valentina Lisitsas Videos they are FAST amazing but no one can even think that it is speed up

[cozyyap]

it looks like she's using all her fingers in just one NOTE! OHMAGAD.

[t19980929]

What the HELL?

[marsigbin]

ASIANS.... nuff said.

[favourolly1997]

breath tacking

[SwaggalikeSoupo]

imagine if she tickles you lol

[jvgfy]

she is no Les Dawson

[malmsteenblackstar]

Even Jens Johansson cant shred that fast

[DaKiller0208]

I'm going to get hands like this, then have a wank.

[2b8ee]

Sweet Jesus, my eyes rolled back into my head watching her hands move so fast

[kiunas]

She is not from this world o. O

[pklong88]

Alien in disguise :D

[JerryCasuga09]

@MarcoPinn maybe her hands were just to fast and the camera didnt catch her hand moving there XD

[RsFredward]

Needs more cowbell.

[PowerofTrueInsight]

Fingers flying....

[narnia0100]

To be COMPLETELY honest with you, she HAS to have botched A LOT of notes. She couldn't have played it EXACTLY correct.

[stuballs42]

@narnia0100  Who cares if she missed notes or not,you try it !!!!!!

[narnia0100]

@stuballs42 I did not encounter the fact that I can't play this. I clearly stated that it is obvious that she missed a couple of notes, because it's slightly [quote] SLIGHTLY! [end quote] possible that she could play the piece without missing a SINGLE note.

[stuballs42]

@narnia0100 She most likely misses one or two notes every time she is asked to play this,but again she's great if she does miss a note or two ,that's fine with me!!!

[JoeTownley]

There are laws against this kind of playing.

[docholloway530]

I'm aghast.

[XN4KX]

-Easy

-Medium

-Hard

-Hardcore

-Asian

[mXgoD27]

Absolutely incredible
