    @@awe331 Well, it would be hard to say which is harder. On one hand you need a lot of stamina and crazy Argerich-like power to play the octaves in bumblebee, but on the other hand you need tremendous virtuosity to play the sonata properly. I guess you could say the Sonata is harder because it's a 30 minute-long effort. But bumblebee is definitely no walk in the park. 😅

    It's not "Asian" that makes her an amazing musician. It's called talent and practice. haha And as far as musicality and emotion, it's called "Flight of the Bumblebee" for a reason. Sure she could have played parts differently, but if you expect a romantic love painting full of emotion and expression from this piece, I'm sorry to say, you're in the wrong video. I'm sure at her caliber, she has her own interpretation and emotional input in each piece she plays. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong (because everyone has his or her opinions) but everyone should just learn to simply enjoy and marvel at great talent.

Her style is unique to her, but some people criticize the way she plays it because she does not conform to their close-minded understanding of how the Turkish March should be played.

When I was 14 I learned this piece. I could actually play it correctly. But at about half that speed AND NOT in octaves. There are gifted people like her. The rest of us are just mechanics. Which is OK because we know enoug h to really appreciate the great ones.

Just admiring those musical talent that I never had except my drawing skill of which I am satisfied. Admiring musical talent only from a ten foot pole. And I do make jealous comments on Lang Lang and Yuja Wang just because they both are naturally talented and very hard working on their task ! George Wu, ARCHITECT, AIA, NCARB 2017-11-21

    Performances like these usually split audience reaction between "Wow, that's humanely impossible! I'm so impressed" to "Wow, that's humanely impossible! It sounds like crap." We as listeners, onlookers, and critics have always given virtuosity the lowest-of-the-low reputation when evaluating performances, and I'm not quite convinced that we've done so for the most aesthetically virtuous reasons. We say things like "mere technique," "noise," "no substance," "boasting," and "only show." I seriously wonder if it's because of a subconscious, voyeuristic jealousy among us who only wish we could play with half the agility that we see here. Regardless of anyone's aesthetic position, the amount of dedication, work, and sacrifice that goes into being able to play like this deserves positive recognition. It does not in the least sound like garbage, as some people have flatly stated. One may not think it fits their conception of "music-making," a term always vulnerable to the vicissitudes of individual taste, and that's fine. It's another thing entirely to dismiss this accomplishment en-masse as garbage and worthless. Sadly, it's more telling of a critic's lack of perspective than of any shortcoming of the performer. Few people can play as fluidly as this, and the craft that Yuja Wang displays here deserves respect, despite whether or not one believes she's not musical.

  • @badass_victoria
    @badass_victoria9 ай бұрын

    When Rimsky Korsakov wrote Flight of the Bumble-Bee, it was intended for piano because it's the only instrument with 88 distinct keys. Each key in the composition creates a singular note eerily characteristic of the flap of a bumble bee wing. Yet Yuja Wang manages to take each note of articulation and add richness to it by playing each individual note as an octave group. Not only that, but she does it with both hands which is an extra two octaves on top of the original composition. In masterful execution, she creates the effect of not one pair of wings but multiple multiple bumble bees flapping their wings in unison.

    Lots of people are bullshitting about how unmusical this is. Good for you, now look at the sheet music and realize that she is literally playing chromatic octaves. You're seriously hopeless if you think that this is the correct piece to comment about musicality. It's like comparing any of chopin's nocturnes to a chromatic scale. The piece is called flight of the bumblebee, bumblebees make an annoying buzzing sound and I certainly hear a lot of buzzing. I don't listen to this and expect to hear Richter's interpretation of Prokofiev's 5th piano concerto.
