Superb! And that Steinway. Wow

I hope you do more great songs like this all the great jazz standards. You are definitely one of my favorite piano players and I think Oscar Peterson would be proud. when I first heard your performance I thought wow I was really amazed and blown away I loved it. thank you Christina for giving us such wonderful music to listen to on KZread.

Woah.That was an amazing performance of a classic OP solo! Bravo Kristina!

As a huge fan of Oscar, I am literally blown away by your feeling, especially, while you have a classical background. The notes are here (which is in itself a huge achievement) but also the accents, the swing! Congrats, kudos!

I found Kristina a month ago when I did a search for Oscar Peterson and classical. I found her "Back to Indiana" performance and was blown away. I'm just a budding piano student but I know greatness. I've been leaving KZread comments here and there about this video. Maybe her KZread fame will sky rocket some day like Domi and Cory Henry's. Today it's 13,146 views. If it skyrockets maybe I can say I helped.

I just left you a complementary comment regarding your Oscar Peterson recordings but I did forget to mention your amazing facial expressions which show’s just how much you are enjoying playing Oscar’s music and you are really into it and ‘digging’ it thanks again Kristina you are amazing !

Recently I'm listening to Kristina's great performances almost every day.

Spread the word about her. I found her 4 days ago and that's what I'm doing. Domi is great at Oscar Peterson but this woman is otherworldly.

My Favorite parts in this piece are you playing the "ragtime-parts" if I may call them that way! Such enjoyment while playing is seldom showed! Congratulations with this marvelous performance!

Hi Kristina. I've recently discovered you on KZread and I see you read the comments so I'd like to say how much I've been enjoying your videos, and say how astounded I am by your technique, also your lyrical playing, often slipped inbetween barn storming virtuosity. Thank you so much for the pleasure you are giving me, and all these other commentators who are equally knocked out by your talent!

I can't stop smiling. What a wonderful performance!

Thank you so much! Well, I think the most important is not to be afraid of making mistakes and than learn from them. Very often we stress ourselves because of fear to make mistakes. If they happen while practicing, be productive and try to understand WHY they happen. Its important to analyze everything you do before repeat it. Hope that helps! Take care!

One more question though, do you do any finger exercises? Maybe Hanon? Or what? I swear you have the lighest touch on the piano!

@kristinamiller891

4 жыл бұрын

Thank you dear Emma! To be really honest, I never played scales or exercises (because I was always too inpatient for that...) Instead I took all Etudes from Chopin, Liszt etc. and played all books just through every day, first it was not easy at all, but than got used to it. I think we have so many scales etc. in the program, so no need really to practice them separately as we have them all the time in pieces. But people are all individual, I know some pianist, who swear on scales and exercises.We all need to find the best for us, sometimes not to listen to 'what others say' is the best advice:)))) Respect YOUR hands and try to find whats working the best way for you! All the best, take care!
