  1. Unfortunately the last note of measure 86 should be a B natural, not a B flat. This happens in the right hand, at almost exactly 1:53 . I'm not sure if they're allowed personal interpretations of these works, or if it's a mistake? Whatever the case may be, I feel as if she let the nervousness overcome her. It seems she is attempting to conduct the piece, or move the piece, instead of letting go and allowing the piece to move you .

    Source – ex-piano performance major and I also know this piece by memory.
    Edit: She is better than me hands down. But it's close!

  2. 2:53 This part of the piece is heartbreaking, it is incredible the subtle way in which she shows us such a feeling by playing such a sublime piece.

  3. Don't get me wrong, but it looks like a robot trying to convey feelings through its face, which it cannot convey through music.

  4. No disrespect but I think its going to take a lot of time to gain that emotional maturity of this piece for her

  5. ここに何回来たかわからんぐらい聞きました。
