[PianoGuy213]

4:11 lang lang finally takes off his douche-scarf.

[kasonleung]

such exceptional talent...

[pianotuner101]

Lang Lang is an amazing teacher. Anna picks up on the phrasing with ease. At first it may seem as if she may be just imitating the master, but at second glance, the phrases have been born within her through Lang Lang's lucid instruction. Bravo to both.

[soami2u]

In a nutshell, I think Anna needs to do more, and Lang Lang needs to do less.

[gerardbedecarter]

A wonderful masterclass - and wonderful playing by Anna!

[yiyiku]

great clip. i hear the difference in her playing after lang lang's coaching. well done to both teacher and student!

[YouVRay]

my god.. 2:00.. that sound was great! Way to go, Anna!

[wanruthang]

Lang Lang looks very happy compared to Anna at first..............

But then Anna looks much more happier and she laughs!

[samuelishmedia]

LOL 3:47

[Lungisaettante]

the moves he's trying to teach her must be inside the pianist,that's part of the talent..actually are unuseful if taught..

[KennYWooD2]

Quite obviously, you don't understand "talent" as you call it. He's trying to get her to "sing" more and think about character within the work. That's not "unuseful", but rather, very much so. For as much as I can't stand him as a pianist, he does a very good job with her here.

[TrevorKingKwong]

scratch that last comment. she's just very serious with the music.

[TrevorKingKwong]

anna doesn't look happy...

[pookiehohn]

Focused?

[TlMpossible]

@TrevorKingKwong its called taking things seriously.

[bananasmoothie]

that was incredible!! great job

[TrueDiligence]

lucky plucky

[andreea1407]

when i will grow up i want to have a girl exactly like her .she's so SPECIAL

[pookiehohn]

Me too.

[masterpianofreak]

omg, she learns so fast : O she can really get what Lang lang says after just few words O_o"

[lilly763]

Wow, she learns so well! Thanks for posting :)

[Linhdanvo]

5* video!

[PianistCor]

The beginning of this video...the three notes... and bringing out the third note in the melody...This has been stuck in my head all day...I think I will learn this piece and use Lang Langs teachings on this video :-)

[thomandy]

Awesome :D

[darkkerrigan]

When I watch these videos of your daughter, any teacher would be lucky to work with her. She is wonderful! Such a sponge! She truly takes in EVERYTHING that is said to her and produces wonderful sound for such tiny hands! Bless her =)

[pianogirl1212]

Wow! You must be very lucky to learn from such a great pianist like Lang Lang! I envy you so much. You are a very fine pianist Anna!

-Bethany

[pianogirl98]

Wow, what a lesson! You are such a talented young pianist, Anna!

[LarsenPiano]

Thank you, this is super exciting for Anna. She's been studying the tape and it is helpful and I hope it will help her other music as well.

[LarsenPiano]

I was nervously sitting in the corner! My hands would have sweated so much, the keys would have been completely slippery.

[jleeproductions]

omg.....Anna! You put me to shame shame shame! After playing for...what..28 years? hehe...you're such a joy to watch, even in lesson.

[LarsenPiano]

Thank you! You are way too kind :)

[klingsor93]

A great illustration of how music should be studied: sometimes measure by measure if not note by note. Espicialy Mozart's music where each intention sparkles like lightnings of diamonds. Anna is so concentrated and I think she has learned many important things. I certainly would like to see and hear the rest....

[LarsenPiano]

Thank you! This helps show the artistic "process" and thinking from a genius like Lang Lang. There's 3 more segments, I'll get them uploaded in the next few days. He talks a lot about character and breaths. Things that really help Anna's music and should help other people too.

[abhikmazumder]

This video is an absolutely gem. The best part is that he shows both the wrong and the right way of playing a phrase. And Anna, you are a fast laerner.

[LarsenPiano]

Thank you! I think this will be of wide general interest, not as a "finished product" but so people who are interested in the process can get some idea how Lang Lang thinks.

[fricasee0]

Oh please do post the rest of it, it is fascinating! Anna is so bright and talented she is absorbing all the information from LL like a sponge, incredible!

[LarsenPiano]

Please stay tuned! I'll post the next 3 segments over the next few days as I find the time. :)

[carri6522]

Anna, this is a pivotal moment in your musical career! You will carry a bit of L.L. with you forever! Brava!

[pianogirl4ever]

Whoa, you are so talented, Anna! (*^^*)

[MaryRuth72]

How fun.

[MusicDoLove]

Hi Anna! You did great at your lesson with Lang Lang. It's definitely the best lesson I've ever had the pleasure to see. He really showed you so much and taught you how to really play it instead of just talking at you in general terms. I'm looking forward to the next part!

[MaryRuth72]

My favorite part is when he grabs her hand at about 47 seconds. I don't know why. Probably because I'm always grabbing kids hands.

[LarsenPiano]

Yes, he was very hands on. The challenge will be to apply his comments to other things she's working on and working on in the future.

[fredahu17]

Wow! I don't think I'd ever be able to have a lesson with Lang Lang!
