Note how Yuja is tied to the score in this video and now most of what she plays is flawlessly memorized. That said there is one contemporary video, I think it a Bartok concerto, where the score is stuffed horizontally in the open piano and she has to add page turning to her tasks.
@sandnturtles08 i am 12 rite now, i am playing level 10, thats nice kid. i hope that you really do love music and that u arernt being forced to play piano. maybe you'll be like her when you grow up ;P
If you would ask me how she became so really super good some years later (and she was good back then ) I would say that the secret is tempo , is quiet amazing how she played with a steady tempo from the beguining till the end, now that is the way to practice.
omg this is the grown up girl playing the piano with a purple dress on and nice legs!!! i didnt even realise. I was wondering "why in my related videos theres so many of this woman" gobsmacked!
To all you experts who dislike this. An 11 year old can play this difficult piece of music incredibly well (better than anyone on this board could play at that age) and all you can do is criticize her for not playing it in the correct 'style' or with the correct 'structure'. I feel sorry for you bunch of idiots, I'm thinking tone deaf, racist or just plain jealous.
@mrmetalcore2019 Thanks for posting this. It had to be said. I think this beautiful young girl is an extraordinary artist. That she shares her gift with us is a blessing. For US!
@GameGuyJim123 actually 62 people realised she got the structure of the piece completely wrong, despite her phenomenal playing, she missed every repetition. This isn't how Mozart intended it to be played:/
@hardtofind321 hes talking about the people who clicked dislike, there are 69 dislikes for this video. The word "Dis" sounds like the word "This". as in This I like. you understand now?
@marythecool but she's already got her "bright future". The little girl in this video is one of the top virtuoso pianists nowadays. Check for Yuja Wang on youtube! :)
This (now young lady) is BRILLIANT!!! the thing you must remember is that a video (no matter the quality) will not bring out the nuances in playing. NB: she didn't use any pedal throughout the entire sonata - her finger control was exquisite! I have no suggestion for the 1st or 2nd mvts.; however, in the 3rd movement, Ms. Wang might consider using multiple fingers on the repeated notes (measure 36 'the Neopolitan', for example). I would play a 4 on the DO and 3,2,1 on the subsequent SI flat, etc
Ok, lets get something straight. Her dynamic tempo and dynamics are perfect. The only thing is her staccato is a little mushy, but other than that this is perfect in the musical style of mozart.
A problem with the asians, most of them. They work on the technical part of the piece a lot, which makes it sound wonderful, but they forget to put feelings inside the piece. If they would put feelings in the piece, they will be able to be the best players in the world.
@ClassicMusic95 half right, they do pay great attention to technical side and all the details, and generally have good clarity and accuracy. but their problem is not only lack of feelings, but lack of both insightful and comprehensive understanding and mastery of the pieces they play as well.
@lincolnyu I play that piece actually, in a very high tempo, like Eshchenbach used to do, and what my teacher said is that I play it with a great technic, but not enough feelings, so I practiced a lot more than usual, because this is much more important. I mean the technic stays, but if you dont have lots of it, just play in a slow tempo, and use as much feelings as you can. Also what you said is very right. Asian sometimes commit suicide for not being good, and that is very wrong.
@lincolnyu that's a really generalizing comment. however, I do believe it helps young pianists to know the details of the composer they are playing; history, the composer's life and the style of the time. this helps with the overall character of the piece and can do wonders for an interpretation
stop it with all you people's 'oh she's emotionless' bullshit. She was 12, you dimwits. Oh, and please remember that Horowitz doesn't act like Lang Lang when he plays. This is a sonata for BEGINNERS (according to Mozart, mind you), not professionals. Clearly she has portrayed how the sonata should've sounded like at the finest quality, no matter what. No point swaying all your body around and made the whole sonata sounded like a jazz because of inconsistent tempo.
this young talented girl is doing great in life rite now soo idk wats wrong wit all these HATERS they are just jealous that they cant do nothing like that in fact i bet any1 that some of these ppl dont have any clue wat piece of music this is or who wrote it
At all repliers: First of all, Mozart is my favourite composer and the player must do justice to his mastery, in other words play it lively and with great imagination but of course stay true to his composing style. This is what truly great pianists could somehow do already in their childhood, Martha Argerich or George Cziffra is a good example. What I've seen recently is when Yuja played Rachmaninoff cello sonata with Mr. Harrell. The level of talent between both of them can be heard clearly...
@katkula Have you listened to the more matured Yuja Wang lately ? She was under 12 at the time of this recording. Just search around any related links. I'm sure you'll think differently.
beautiful...this is a simple sonata but she plays it so that i want to hear it.. even after i've myself have played it about 100 times before. she puts something extra into it.
yeah this is mozarrt's piece not chopin's. I think this full of feeling girl plays very touch-hearted, we may see from the way her fingers touch the tune, the body movement, and the piece just like HAS A SOUL, she plays like Richard Clayderman ! again, bach, mozart, beethoven are different from Chopin, Schubert, Tchaisvosky or Rachmaninoff's piece ! the first ones are baroque, romantic styles.
nice playing...but i recomen you sit better, and higher, remember posture does contribute to your playing if you sit straight with your arms out (allow your armpits to breathe), your music will sing better...
I can't tell if she's playing well because the audio quality sucks so much. Can't hear any artistry/interpretation/emotion because of that. I'm also fairly sure you can't tell if it's good or not.
If you're going to record a piano concert, it needs GOOD AUDIO!!!
@TheAdmiralPancake dear, how can you say that? :) to me she's a god! maybe there's better out there, but she's so young and at her age you can harldy find something like this! she is definetely playing very well with excuses.
Solo una cosa a criticar, el adorno de apoyatura o nota de gracia como algunos le llaman en el clacisismo sonaba primero la primera nota acentuada con el acompañamiento y luego la otra y no al reves como sucede aqui en el primer movimiento antes del trino. El acentuar la segunda nota del adorno y dandole el acompañamiento a esta es del romanticismo y no seria mozart. por el resto esta perfecta y que una niña tan pequeña toque tan bien esta sonata es maravilloso.
Go watch her version of Flight of the Bumble Bee or version of the Turkish March in the video "House of Flying Fingers" and tell me she has no emotion. Her emotion and play style is precisely why she's my favorite pianist.
@2haiztalented Learning the piano works through muscle memory, so she might as well be playing it with a blindfold. The hands will still remember what to do and how.
this is so ridiculously good. I find it hard to believe anyone who negged this has ever played the piano. This is as perfect as it gets when it comes to this piece. Easily one of the best versions of this on youtube. Her technique is out of this world

The commenters criticizing Wang's artistry/ interpretation/ lack of emotion need to study up on music history and styles. This is Mozart, not Chopin! She played this piece perfectly in the *classical style*.
@Melkhi Agreed. Mozart's work was written for the early Pianoforte, therefore the attention to abrupt Piano's and Forte's is crucial to the style and character. Mozart's work often falls victim to over Romanticism, with unnecessary crescendo's, diminuendo's, over-pedaling etc.
I agree with you. Emotional interpretation doesn't need over act of posture or arm dancing. It comes form inside and it can express by heart, sounds, weight and the eyes too.
I agree with you. Emotional interpretation doesn't need over act of posture or arm dancing. It can come from inside and it can express by heart, sounds, weight and the eyes too.
@Melkhi Chopin was a great admirer of Mozart and was quite influenced by him as well. How do you think Chopin played? Do some research and you'll find out that Chopin's pianistic style was very reserved, chaste, intimate and refined. He despised exaggeration. With his left-hand he always kept a very strict tempo. Perhaps you are thinking about Liszt. He was flamboyant and exuberant. And for the record, Chopin doesn't really adhere to a Classical or Romantic style. He was unique & individual.
@koalaswrath - Why do musicians joke that one should never count Chopin? Could it be that he utilized rubato? His emotional melodies augmented by rubato earn him the title "Poet of the Piano." During the Classical Period, of which Mozart was king, the emphasis was on intellect rather than emotion. Do you agree with the other commenters that are criticizing Yuja for her "emotionless" playing?
@Melkhi One should never count Chopin?! The fact that Chopin used 'rubato' has nothing to do with rhythm. It's an inflection he used strictly in the melody and never in the bass part. Chopin was an intellectual musician. That's why his idols were Mozart and Bach, not Beethoven (In vogue at the time) or flashier pianists like Liszt. Oh, and not all great poets have to be "emotional". Sincerity, balance and eloquence go a long way. Look at Chopin. BTW, I like Yuja's interpretation.
@Melkhi I agree with you but I wish she had used the sustainers and added difference in tones to make it sound more ALIVE you know. If she can play this with ease, then she should've been able to add a bit of drama to give Mozart himself credit for making the piece sound as it should be and should be played.
Why don't people check before writing comments concerning parents or anything else for that matter. Yuja Wang is now a 23 year old world renowned pianist who records exclusively on Deutsche grammaphone.
Fuck off all the racists, and irresponsible comments. Why people like you GUYS are always take that serious or feel happy which based on the mirage of your won racist like an animals that hunting and protecting all the time! Thinking too much with prejudice or giving advise without thinking? The Whites, Asians, Blacks, Muslins and Latinos, when we can live peacefully, never fight like animals again!? Calm ourselves, use your brain for thinking, not just only for such fun, so- called common sens
@aalg4c probably cause her asian parents made her practice 10 hours a day and probably deprived her of dinner if she made a mistake. don't know for sure but youy know how those asians are...
There is a Greek saying 'You can tell a beautiful day from the morning'. Well this was the morning for this great pianist. Her video of the Prokofiev Piano Concerto #2, is unequaled. May she continue offering us the fruits of her great art. Thank you for posting.
This was quite good except that I think the second movement should be faster. My music says andante where this seems more like largo. Is this artistic license or whatever? I'd be interested to know.
@brandonok14 Are you serious? She's amazing, and she could probably play better than most people, and now that she's an adult, She's incredible, and one of the best pianists out there.
@Frienz4God She isn't incredible. She's a professional pianist. And i've heard her later stuff and it is the same technical cleanliness mixed with interpretational nothingness.
@brandonok14 I don't agree. Just because she has a great amount of skill and she can play a song perfectly with no mistakes, doesn't mean that she's not an artist and she can't but her own spin on her work. and i was disagreeing also because your comment was stereotypical of Asians.
@brandonok14 Try looking up Alice Sara Ott, Aimi Kobayashi, Tiffany Poon, and Mitsuko Uchida for just a small selection of available counterexamples including both pros and students. Finally, check out Yujia Wang's very recent video playing Gretchen am Spinnrade. One must have the technical capability first, in order to flower as an artist.
This is well played, much better than heaps of others on you tube. I can't believe how many are showing off their terrible playing. Its SO embarrassing. Just because one can press the right keys doesn't mean they can play the piece. People just don't get that.
Havent watch it all but to think her development continued such that she is able to produce the virtuoso performances to be enjoyed in other You Tube vids.
A prodigy with this level of technique and particularly this degree of musical sophistication at such a young age is rare indeed. Mozart comes to mind, and maybe Liszt. Once in a generation, or several generations.
They really must've pushed that girl to the extreme because I am currently trying to learn this song & it is BUTAL! Just as the people below have stated.
1) it doesnt mean shes asian = she will be good, coz there are non asians (kyle Landry n those composers like Beethoven? dont tell me they came from asia? lul...)
2) she is NOT tortured... she is a piano prodigy at a young age, and practice plays a part here too...
3) practice makes perfect... she must have like played this piece over 10 times a day to perfect this?
finally this is NOT unfair, practice makes perfect, remember rome wasnt built in a day... so are piano pieces
with her all i hear is technique... even today

The commenters criticizing Wang's artistry/ interpretation/ lack of emotion need to study up on music history and styles. This is Mozart, not Chopin! She played this piece perfectly in the *classical style*.
Melkhi 1 year ago 65
@Melkhi Agreed. Mozart's work was written for the early Pianoforte, therefore the attention to abrupt Piano's and Forte's is crucial to the style and character. Mozart's work often falls victim to over Romanticism, with unnecessary crescendo's, diminuendo's, over-pedaling etc.

I agree with you. Emotional interpretation doesn't need over act of posture or arm dancing. It comes form inside and it can express by heart, sounds, weight and the eyes too.

@Melkhi Chopin was a great admirer of Mozart and was quite influenced by him as well. How do you think Chopin played? Do some research and you'll find out that Chopin's pianistic style was very reserved, chaste, intimate and refined. He despised exaggeration. With his left-hand he always kept a very strict tempo. Perhaps you are thinking about Liszt. He was flamboyant and exuberant. And for the record, Chopin doesn't really adhere to a Classical or Romantic style. He was unique & individual.

@koalaswrath - Why do musicians joke that one should never count Chopin? Could it be that he utilized rubato? His emotional melodies augmented by rubato earn him the title "Poet of the Piano." During the Classical Period, of which Mozart was king, the emphasis was on intellect rather than emotion. Do you agree with the other commenters that are criticizing Yuja for her "emotionless" playing?
Melkhi 7 months ago
@Melkhi One should never count Chopin?! The fact that Chopin used 'rubato' has nothing to do with rhythm. It's an inflection he used strictly in the melody and never in the bass part. Chopin was an intellectual musician. That's why his idols were Mozart and Bach, not Beethoven (In vogue at the time) or flashier pianists like Liszt. Oh, and not all great poets have to be "emotional". Sincerity, balance and eloquence go a long way. Look at Chopin. BTW, I like Yuja's interpretation.

@Melkhi I agree with you but I wish she had used the sustainers and added difference in tones to make it sound more ALIVE you know. If she can play this with ease, then she should've been able to add a bit of drama to give Mozart himself credit for making the piece sound as it should be and should be played.

Why don't people check before writing comments concerning parents or anything else for that matter. Yuja Wang is now a 23 year old world renowned pianist who records exclusively on Deutsche grammaphone.

@brandonok14 Try looking up Alice Sara Ott, Aimi Kobayashi, Tiffany Poon, and Mitsuko Uchida for just a small selection of available counterexamples including both pros and students. Finally, check out Yujia Wang's very recent video playing Gretchen am Spinnrade. One must have the technical capability first, in order to flower as an artist.

A prodigy with this level of technique and particularly this degree of musical sophistication at such a young age is rare indeed. Mozart comes to mind, and maybe Liszt. Once in a generation, or several generations.
