Random insomniac thought at 5am: I really miss playing in Japan 🇯🇵
Can’t believe it was exactly 6 years ago since I was last there! Need to find a way to end this hiatus soon...
Sending love to all my dear Japanese friends today! 🙏🙏

The most innocent reaction to the tumultuous coda of Chopin’s 3rd Scherzo ever recorded 😂🥺
Gives this piece a whole other level of meaning, imo.

⁉️ Did you know that Tchaikovsky was a lawyer by trade, until the age of 21? 👨⚖️
Happy 182nd anniversary to the influential composer, as well as to his equally great counterpart — the legendary Johannes Brahms — who also celebrates today with 189 years of history! 🎶

Apparently Chopin was reluctant to publish his Fantasy Impromptu because of how (intentionally) reminiscent it was of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.
How related do you think they are? 🎶

7 years ago today, I played in the 3rd stage of the 2015 Chopin Competition! Without a doubt one of the most consequential performances of my life to date.
Here’s a little throwback to my performance there of the 2nd sonata (age 16) ⬇️
