Beautiful and moving performance. I guess being blind makes for a more close relationship with the piano. Stevie Wonder comes to mind, the way he also played the piano, like it’s a celebration.
The official website about Lucy gives a bit more information about her condition.
Still, I guess she enjoys playing the piano to the max (in her own way). I'm only speculating here but moving like that would overstimulate your sensors (ears for spatial audio, a bit of an airflow to the skin, muscular activity...).
Skipping all that, her playing is really moving, she's really living it 😄
p.s. : I also tend to move my head from left to right when I'm playing the guitar and in the zone... (not to the same extent though)
this is actually interesting as these gestures dont mean the same thing everywhere.
(if you can't see you wont adjust your gestures to what ppl around you do. )
I guess it doesn't matter if you go up or down - or left or right.
its all the same thing, its like you a rocking yourself to comfort in some hospitalism kind of way (like you are rocking a little child to make it stop crying) ...

poor boy ^^
however, what's very interesting is how the master teaches him to think of musical phrase as breathing ...
all he says is "breath!!!"
what he means is play with your breath
I never thought of music that way 🤩
Wow. Just watching the young guy play is fascinating. And it looks surprisingly relaxed I must say.
it took me a while to figure out what lang langs heavy breathing and singing is all about 🤦🏻♂️
really need to watch this carefully there is so much going on he doesn't say but shows/plays / suggests
doesn't take timestamps
start 4.20
compared to Lang Lang everybody is playing like a typewriter 🤔 😍
if he plays it you want to shake your behind
the first performer has a stick and a metronome in the ass, sorry to say
yes I know its incredible hard to play, I can't play this ^^ ;)
the video has the wrong title
its not musician vs. entertainer
its musician vs. artist ;)
more Chopin
cry your heart out
I wish I could get a regular feed of inspiring music talks. All I tend to get are gear reviews and demos.
This is incredible. I didn't know Lucy, thanks for sharing !
it was a random YouTube find.
I was looking for the nocturnes because I couldn't sleep.
this made my heart skip a beat.
i have no idea how she keeps the tempo,
her movements seem to follow the harmony 🤷🏻♂️
if I move my head like that for 3 minutes I get dizzy. 🤪
or is it something blind musicians do? If I move like that it gets dark & light? is it something she does with her hair & shoulders?
I dont know what it is, but the phrasing is beautiful 😲 :)

The worst kind of video to make you sleep lol.

I do the "no no" gesture too :)
most ppl go "yes yes" I guess

what is really interesting about this performance is - I never heard it that way before.
all of a sudden the harmony changes suggest "everything will be fine" to me, "brocken by splinters of despair", a sweet pain. wow. bravo.
I never understood the point of the piece before, I guess.
