The Prodigy Who Saw Into the Future – Lili Boulanger’s Piano Music

A teenage girl with forward-looking ideas, Lili Boulanger had enough determination to successfully navigate the competitive, patriarchal, and conservative music scene of Paris. Despite a constant fight against illness, she achieved great mastery as a composer, and left behind a significant catalog of works characterized by intense emotional depth, in a sophisticated, post-Romantic, Impressionist style. Now, all her scores for solo piano are available to Piano Street’s members. Read more

isnt it kinda awkward? if it were played at high speeds, im pretty sure other fingers would be needed for decent fluidity

Kind of bothers me too.

At first I thought it was professional, I guess since it was black and white.

Then I saw the 12 stuff in the right hand. And that pinkie jut and then hanging on a key like that with the pinkie.

Second video has an out-of-tune piano. 

Nice enough tone.  Pleasant to listen to, except for the piano tuning.  I don't think I'd want to watch this guy to pick up tips, except for how not to do some things I guess.
