[BlackIsOut]

Strap did not agree.

[lourak]

What an exciting playing style this young woman has - such a wonderful and natural flow.

[EricTheRed03]

So you can get right to the sexy strap falls down while playing beethoven part, 1:19

[EvanFingerstyle]

@EricTheRed03 How about the sexy piano playing part while she enjoys herself and plays beautifully, 0:01?

[TJFNYC212]

Bishop K's Les Adieux is awesome

[ringmaster11710]

i think the bra strap that falls is hilarious

[Sophiestelle]

@ringmaster11710 She is a great artist! ...And you are? ...Make some respect!

[ringmaster11710]

@Sophiestelle she is good. i just think its funny it fell during an intense piece like this

[wynton5364]

@ringmaster11710

while I think it funnier when she pulls the straps back...

[harriter88]

what i love about SK he critiques within a framework of encouragment and respect for the the artists individuality whatever level they are at this gal we all know is a monster pianist just listen to her prokofiev tocatta but i just love when he sayes defferential things like im stopping u not because i dont think its good...and he sits with the score and unlike almost every other piano master class i have seen he does not demonstrate by playing himself ie move over kid this is how it goes you do

[RedPortiaOne]

Very fluid and deeply expressive. Beautiful :)

[Holdsyfan]

Death becomes me!

[marcohorowitz8]

brilliant! by the way, the girl Claire Huangcy is a top top top world class pianist, winner of many prestigious competitions. she's on youtube playing Liszt Don Juan, pletnev-Tchaikovsky nutcracker etc...

[fystasjoppheng]

If I could choose a pianist to teach me, I would prefer Stephen Kovacevich!

[zurzica51]

Claire Huangcy!!!  :D

[itsMOCA]

Fantastic!

[dbei66]

All clipped in steccato like some kitchen maid!

[lu88lu97]

Amazing !!!

[cris041]

Un grand moment, merci beaucoup de nous faire connaitre cette master classe.

[haynet1962]

No-one alive plays Beethoven's sonatas as well as Kovacevich, which is why this masterclass is such a privilege to watch and hear. Thanks for posting!

[terrygowork]

Who is she? Is she Claire Huangci?

[tchebinai71]

that's because the partition asks the left hand to play the melody and the right one the harmony . :)

[BZG07]

Why are her hands crossed at the beggining

[Istarilight17]

It's easier to play that way. It would be a lot harder if you shift both hands just to hit the low C and G octave, while keeping the harmony legato.

[amirmot]

what a stupid question!

sleep tight dude!

[BZG07]

fuck you asshole.
