It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Here is an actual Jazz musician chiming in

I sent a link to Yuja Wang's performance to a Jazz musician I know in New Orleans. Sasha Masakowski. her dad and her teacher is Steve Masakowski. Feel free to look them both up. here is what she said...

"Wow!! Thats amazing- sounds beautiful! Art Tatum is one of my favorite pianists of all time, did you know he learned to play from transcribing player-roll pieces that were recorded by two people when he was a child? Thats why when you listen to him play solo piano it sounds like two people.


she did a wonderful job!"

I guess reactions like that from actual jazz musicians would have given Yuja Wang good reason to avoid playing such pieces. Ya think?
