The pianist in question is Yefim Bronfman. He had cut his finger prior to playing with the Bartok’s 3rd piano concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra.
The blood isn't because the piece is so hard. The pianist who was representing Japan has a condition where if she presses too hard on it, it bleeds. She has been playing since she was four and it's normal for her. She doesn't even say that it hurts. - @Marcy4191 (A commenter from another video regarding this topic)
@@RichL4899 are you replying to me? She can play however se wants in her home, but smearing blood on a piano others will use is disgusting. She can very well bandage that finger before she starts playing.
*IMPORTANT CONTEXT* Her bleeding had nothing to do with the piece. She had a condition in her left pinky that occasionally caused her to bleed, and fortunately she said it didn't hurt. Don't trust everything you watch.
Press On, in many years You will be glad You did. I have no gifts, so when I get to hear those with gifts playing, singing, writing, etc. I am enthralled!!!👋🙂
@@negativeharmoney oh it's 100% lack of technique. I'm teaching myself, so it's hard for me to get the proper technique right away. Hopefully, it'll become natural from looking at professionals play. I'm trying to learn to relax my fingers. My poster's good though.
......it shouldn't hurt. Fingertips and sides can be at most a bit sore or tender, but nothing should *hurt*. If its hurting, it's not right man. I know piano lessons can be expensive. But even 5 or 10 lessons can at least correct or highlight bad posture issues and fingering.
This was not the reason the piano was covered in blood, the reason was because the woman had a medical condition that caused her finger to bleed anytime she would put pressure on it
to clarify: the woman that represented japan (who played this piano) had an illness were her fingers just start to bleed when she uses them very fast, quickly and hard, like in this masterpiece. she even said: "It doesn't hurt me or my fingers and i start to bleed often while playing the piano"
Brother i think u r mistaken ,the women who played that piano had a condition which causes her hand to bleed,and after she told the media that it didn't even hurt her and it was normal for her to bleed while playing.✌️
O normally in competitions they do clean rhe pianos after one person has played before the next one does. Obviously they'd spend a little more time cleaning th8s one instead of rhe others
whiplash would be more credible if the instrument was piano, you will never bleed by playing the drumms, other instruments that can bleed you are guitar, violin, or bass and maybe the harp
I think i found a video on it and the person who played actually has a condition that makes her fingers easier to bleed, it’s not the first time this has happened as it happens sometimes during normal practice sessions and it was only her pinky.
AYO this is true BUT the pianist playing before this picture was taken had a rare condition causing her fingers to bleed when she hits a key too hard. she also said after "it doesn't really hurt actually"
@@BDGLSYou… Actually can’t tho? I’m a shorts creator myself and the most you can choose is what frame of the video you want to have as the thumbnail but for the most part you can’t export images to have as the thumbnail
Something was pouring from his fingers. He examined the piano. Blood? Blood! Crimson, copper smelling blood, his blood. Blood, blood, blood… and bits of sick.
the person who left those blood was actually rui urayama, a pianist performing at a competition. she has a condition where her left pinky bleeds "if she hits the keyboard too hard" and she says "it isnt the first time", having also bled during practices prior to the taking of this photo. so this piece doesnt really make peoples fingers bleed, only some. as for schiff's quote, i think he only meant it metaphorically when he says its a "finger breaking piece". all in all, this piece is a hard piece to perform but u do not have to worry about bleeding fingers
My highschool choir teacher was very good at piano, he loved playing, and he told us a story one time that he played a piece for a choir competition for his students and cut his hand open while playing and bled all over the piano. He got his cut cauterized on sight and they had to change the piano. But he has to play the same piece a while later and cut one his wound again and they cauterized it on sight again and told him wasn't allowed to play again that day, but luckily that was his last performance of the day. They had to change out two pianos because he bled all over them for like 2 minutes straight each.
This is INCORRECT!!! The player of the piano said that she has a condition which causes that to happen. It is not because of the piece being hard to play!
he didn’t say her fingers started bleeding because of how hard the piece was, he just said that it was one of the hardest piano pieces ever. maybe actually listen before calling people out for being “wrong”
the person who bled over the piano didnt bleed because of the difficulty, yes bartok's 2nd piano concerto is hard. But the reason behind the blood on the piano is because the pianist has a condition that makes it easier for her to bleed.
The lady’s fingers have a condition where if she plays the piano her fingers bleed. She does not go through any pain, but she could probably play something simple and still leave blood
My situation was more different as to why the piano in my house was covered in blood. It was because I passed out and hit head first onto the piano. Yes I'm alive and well to this day. Just glad I didn't suffer a concussion.
The picture is from a world piano competition performed by a female pianist representing Japan. She has a condition that makes her fingers(I believe it was her pinky finger) bleed when she presses too hard. The blood was all over the piano because she couldn't just stop playing as it was a competition. Usually during practice sessions, when she starts bleeding, she normally stops.
@@lindaa.auerbach8397 we dont talk about that. the dude is asking what was the piece that is being talked about in the video. not the background music.
@@Crimsxn_K1ra I don't know what you mean by your statement, but a number of people were under the seeming impression that the Chopin nocturne being played in the background was the Bartok being discussed. I hope I am not guilty of any major crime in merely having sought to clarify that, in case people who had never heard it were enchanted by the Chopin nocturne and would like to have known the name of the piece. I appear to have offended or annoyed you greatly. In order to avoid further commentary by you, I will refrain from visiting this fine artist's posts again. You seem to have been deputized to set limits on what we are advised to contribute in some odd way. "We don't talk about that" is grammatically an admonition to avoid talking about whatever "that" is. P. S. Just as a matter of curiosity, do you have any idea about why the artist didn't simply play the Bartok piece in the background instead of the Chopin nocturne?
Anyone with the ability of logical reasoning would understand that a flat blunt surface like piano keys so not cut your fingers and the velocity you’d have to hit keys to tear skin is well beyond anything a piano player would ever try to do. Their fingers are priceless to them.
fake news, the person who played got a special condition that causes her left pinky to bleed, she said it happend many times before, so the piece does not make your fingers blreed, duh
THIS VIDEO IS FAKE Here's the truth: The girl who played this piano had a disorder so her fingers sometimes bled randomly, it's not because the piece was sooo hard. Your fingers don't bleed because of playing the piano...
@@Crimsxn_K1ra Forgive me, but your Reply to my Comment is very confusing to me. You said "We do not talk about that": Who is "We," and what is the "that" that you seem to be saying I should not have talked about. I don't understand what you've said, would you mind clarifying it? Did I bring up a prohibited or forbidden subject by any chance?
He keeps referencing Bartok's 2nd piano concerto while speaking almost inaudibly over Chopin's Nocturne no. 13 in C minor, op. 48 no. 1 for some odd reason.
Very interesting! I am curious though… what would be the hardest piece for a solo piano, since I’m sure not all of us have access to a concerto but just the piano.
The piano piece playing in the background is Chopin's Nocturne No. 13 in C minor (op. 48, no. 1), though for some odd reason, he keeps referencing Bartok's 2nd piano concerto misleadingly.
I got blood on the keys during Brahms Paganini Variations during a competition. It was the octave glissandos which cut my pinky finger. The jury complained afterwards because I wiped it off with my handkerchief. What a stupid thing to complain about. Was I supposed to leave it there to create a hazard for the next pianist? I was trying to be considerate and got chewed out for it.
My guitar teacher told me the story about when he performed onstage with another band a few years back. By the end of the song, the guitarist, (who wasn’t using a pick) had bleeding fingers. She bled all over the stage. Yeah, I started using a pick after that. Guitars will tear your fingers up.
