    THE NEW YORKER by Janet Malcolm " What is one to think of the clothes the twenty-nine-year-old pianist Yuja Wang wears when she performs-extremely short and tight dresses that ride up as she plays, so that she has to tug at them when she has a free hand, or clinging backless gowns that give an impression of near-nakedness (accompanied in all cases by four-inch-high stiletto heels)? In 2011, Mark Swed, the music critic of the L.A. Times, referring to the short and tight orange dress Yuja wore when she played Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto at the Hollywood Bowl, wrote that “had there been any less of it, the Bowl might have been forced to restrict admission to any music lover under 18 not accompanied by an adult.” Two years later, the New Criterion critic Jay Nordlinger characterized the “shorter-than-short red dress, barely covering her rear,” that Yuja wore for a Carnegie Hall recital as “stripper-wear.” Never has the relationship between what we see at a concert and what we hear come under such perplexing scrutiny. Is the seeing part a distraction (Glenn Gould thought it was) or is it-can it be-a heightening of the musical experience? During the intermission of a recital at Carnegie Hall in May, Yuja changed from the relatively conventional long gold sequinned gown she had worn for the first half, two Brahms Ballades and Schumann’s “Kreisleriana,” into something more characteristically outré. For the second half, Beethoven’s extremely long and difficult Sonata No. 29 in B-Flat, known as the “Hammerklavier,” she wore a dress that was neither short nor long but both: a dark-blue-green number, also sequinned, with a long train on one side-the side not facing the audience-and nothing on the other, so that her right thigh and leg were completely exposed. As she performed, the thigh, splayed by the weight of the torso and the action of the toe working the pedal, looked startlingly large, almost fat, though Yuja is a very slender woman. Her back was bare, thin straps crossing it. She looked like a dominatrix or a lion tamer’s assistant. She had come to tame the beast of a piece, this half-naked woman in sadistic high heels. Take that, and that, Beethoven! ..." player.vimeo.com/video/57468088?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=d30000&api=1&player_id=media-player

    @Herr Ainstein Transcription is the word used usually for when one composer converts music written for one instrument (or many or even an orchestra!) into music written for another set of instruments. For example, listen to Liebesleid, Kreisler (written for violin and piano) and then Liebesleid, Kreisler-Rachmaninoff (written for piano solo). Another example is Vocalise, Rachmaninoff, which is often transcribed for piano solo. Vyacheslav Gryaznov is a great transcriber who has reduced many orchestral works, such as Prélude a l'après-midi d'un faune for piano solo. It can also go the other way-Ravel transcribed his own piece, Une barque sur l'océan, which was written for piano, for an orchestra. Transcriptions are often meant to be faithful, like an interpreter translating text from one language to another, but many aren't-often, the transcriber will add their own little twists or radically change the piece. This is more accurately called arranging, but it's a type of transcription. Interpretation, on the other hand, has connotations of performance, so in this video, it is Yuja Wang interpreting the piece, not Tausig. You can have people arranging other composers' works for the same instrument e.g. Godowsky's Studies on Chopin's Études, which are written for piano, when the original Chopin Études were written for piano. This is more of a case of transcribing and modifying the actual musical idea, rather than the music on the page. I'm not sure what instruments "The Smuggler" was written for originally, but I hope I answered your question.

    When I had a chance to visit a Steinway showroom and spotted a Spirio, I immediately selected this piece to listen it in person. I was simply held speechless by the shear power of the piano and Yuja's finest touch and control. In person, this piece is way louder, but meanwhile not a bit irretating. It was amazing.

    In addition to Yuja's incredible technique and amazing chops, the sound she's getting from this piano is remarkable. She's playing a Steinway model "M" seen in the piano's golden plate triangle in the baritone section of the keyboard at 0:11. A model "M" (medium) is 5 feet 7 inches long, which is an appropriate size grand piano for a home, rarely a performance venue. Usually, grand pianos which are under 6 feet in length, do not have a very robust baritone or bass section sound, yet this model "M" has a very bold and distinctively resonant baritone section. It's particularly noticeable at 0:45 through 0:56. Since this video is a Steinway advertisement, the piano is in perfect tune, and the hammers have been voiced really well. Due to the tight close-up camera work, It is difficult to determine the size of the room, but there are lamps and tables glimpsed at times. The recording has a bit of reverb added to enlarge the overall sound of the piano and the the size of the room, which creates aural depth. I've seen Yuja's past practice piano in her New York apartment, and it appeared to be a medium-sized Steinway grand. She practiced and played it as many classical pianists do, with the lid completely closed, and a thick quilted cover over the entire piano (except the keyboard) with the music desk placed on top of the cover. This helps deaden the sound to neighbors, but it also creates more pressure on the keyboard, since the sound is trapped inside the closed case and cover. With this added pressure, the keys require more effort to play, which is exactly what baseball players do when they warm up by swinging two bats before they approach the plate. A pianist will be able to play a difficult work more easily after practicing on a keyboard which requires more effort. This is why most organ players find it difficult and uncomfortable to play piano very well, since organ keyboard actions are extremely light and springy, whereas piano actions, especially 9-foot concert grand piano actions, are heavy and demanding. It takes practice to get used to the heavier piano action. In terms of fingers and hands, pianists' hands may range in size from tiny feminine hands, to hands the size of a baseball glove, with fingers the size of big cucumbers. In fact, the hands make up only a small part of a pianist's ability to play the piano. It is actually the brain and the heart which really play the piano.

The spike heel gives her a pivot point to enable a feather touch on the pedal; probably necessary because she's a short person and otherwise would have to "belly up to the bar", so to speak, which would lessen the free movement of her arms as she's hunched over the keyboard.
