I have to admit this is quite an unusual selection from the Well-Tempered Clavier book II for such a young person as you to be learning. This performance was very well executed, and I like the fact you didn't overwhelm it with the sustain pedal, like a lot of people feel tempted to do. I hope you continue learning more Bach and posting your performances on YouTube.
I came back for another listen too V; it is so wonderfully precise and articulate. Great dialogue in this Fugue. Were you a little nervous to be on TV or did it not bother you? You dont sound fazed at ALL!
This is such a good performance of this fugue. You have wonderful hands for the piano and such a clear touch. Your trills are perfect, it has a nice bounce and is full of character. Your left hand plays just as good as your right. That is very rare! Well done Vivian.
Hi Vivian, Wonderful piece of work. I don't know how but I missed this submission, just discovered it now. You have made enormous progress. Congratulations.
Hi Vivian. Terry pointed me here and I'm glad she did. You played this Bach fugue exceptionally well. I have also read your 6th grade poem "River Of Life". Beautiful! Keep up the good work, Rob.
Absolutely beautiful. Vivian is truly talented. I'm very envious but also glad i came across such a talented young girl. Vivian's performance is very inspiring.
Great job, Vivian! You are very much on the right track in your interpretation of this fugue, I think. I hope you continue to play Bach; I know you love Chopin, but Chopin loved Bach, and Bach will better prepare us for Chopin's more difficult pieces than Chopin's easier pieces will. I am curious as to whether your articulation came from your edition/teacher, or if your teacher encourages you to figure out the articulation on your own. The choices were good, I think, but I am just curious.
What a beautiful and difficult fugue! As always, I can hear you add a bit of yourself to the things you play, and always in the context of the style period! (if you know what I mean). This is what makes your playing so good I think! I would love to hear you play the prelude too :) Well done!
This a very good performance. Bravo, Vivian, continue so! I´m actually completing book II of WTC after having completed book I on my channel, but it will take a while, until I will have come to the a-minor pair.
Yes, I meant the last two bars...but anyway, I am glad Vivian is playing a lot of Bach, and she does a great job! She really has control over the 3 voices...
Excellent, Vivian! and btw never lose that smile after performing, it'll be your trademark. While the rest of the worlds pianists will finish with gloom n doom on their face!
It's always such a pleasure to hear you play Vivian. It's such a fine fugue and you play it beautifully. I look forward to hearing the prelude. Isn't a minor a satisfying key.
Pianogirl, Lovely Bach! Playing Bach is difficult but you make it look very simple to play. It has all of the qualities of the Baroque period and each voice speaks to me. Keep up the excellent work and I hope to hear from you again.
I have been off youtube for a few days for a number of reasons and it is so nice to return and find this wonderful new video of Viviian Yu. Once again an exquisite performance. Fantastic voicing and control and musicality. Fugues are so hard to play well. Brava, Vivian! I remain a loyal fan!
Yeah, I concur with the comments about Vivian's long, elegant, and powerful fingers; a born pianist. Daniel Barenboim says that he plays Bach, not with the right and left hand, but with ten independent digits working as a unit. I can see this theory in action here. A very assured performance by a young lady who is evolving in front of our eyes in many and wondrous ways. Another triumph!
Nice smile for a job well done. (Mr Patrick is so right about the acrobatics je je), By the way, in this video I really enjoyed the beautiful long fingers and big hands, congratulations.
