LINK This is fascinating, she has a live stream of her practicing all this week. Her usual 14 hours a day will be broadcast live!

Thank you *so much* for this link. I've never seen anything like it, and I find it so entertaining and informative. This is one of my favorite internet things, ever.

This is really cool!
She practices a lot different than I do - in the video I don't see any beer around whatsoever.

All I keep thinking is: "Finish the piece already! And...stop mumbling to yourself..."
It's interesting, though. Not many people would feel comfortable being filmed like that, especially with people like me making silly comments the whole time.
It's too bad I had to keep clicking the X Button to get rid of those damned advertisements. Why does it seem that every single video site forces you to watch commercials? If they can't afford the site by putting them on the left and right, like every other single site in the world, they need to find a new and less annoying way.

You say one week. Will she take it down at the end of the week? If we e-mail her en mass and beg her to leave it up maybe she will.

Between work, school, and generally trying to be a normal 24 year old, if I get 14 hours of practice throughout the week, I'm happy. 13-14 hours a day, wow.

Fascinating....
Perfection even in practicing.

From what I've seen I don't like the way she practices. It leaves to much room for mistakes in my opinion.

Her hands look extremely relaxed. Isn't she sitting a little low?
Best regards,

Is that pillow thing meant to dampen the sound to protect her ears?

Well yea, because it works for her.
I didn't say she was practicing badly. I just said I personally do not like the style, and I wouldn't adopt it for myself.
What did you expect me to do, worship the ground that the great Valentina Lisitsa walks on. To me that's far more laughable than my personal comment. Seems some people are blind to the fact that their watching flesh and blood, talented flesh and blood, but flesh and blood none the less.

This is so cool! Thanks a bunch for sharing!! It's really interesting to observe a concert pianist practicing instead of performing. And WOW! How does she go on for so long..?
