Please try to ignore the dress, but @ 0:22 Lola Astanova changes her footing then comes off the seat. The end of the piece is quite strong, but she stays glued to the seat.Rubinstein uses the "split" footing throughout most of the Heroic, but does laps to both feet on the pedals at times. And yes, he is lifting off the seat frequently.I don't see the necessity for coming off the seat no matter how loud you wish to play. The only physics I can see is possibly going beyond "arm" weight to "body" weight. But BW doesn't make sense since the body, shoulders, and arms would be falling due to gravitational acceleration, and if the shoulder and elbows are pivots, the dropping of the elbows would actually reduce the effective forearm weight on the keysLet's just say I don't understand the principle and would love to be schooled.Oh, and have fun with the dress...
I watched this one with the sound off, not completely sure it was going to be "Safe For Work."It looks like a performance more, or at least equally, focused on the visual aspects. The seat is unusually far back. However, that allows the spine to be in proper alignment regardless of the motion. In particular, it avoids the usual hunched spine and forward bending head we see so commonly. When we sit too close we curve the spine to get arms in alignment and see the music, and she does a great job of avoiding this.
Good for you "Bob." I am often castigated for alerting, (for those who care,) regarding fake posts. Accordingly, please look at her so-called Dress and her Hair.Officially, in there are hundreds of posts regarding Yuja Wang's manner of Dress, this is simply just more of the same.Hey, for all of you ladies and gentleman who have spent most of your entire daily Adult Live's practicing, (as a Pianist/Philosopher) I proffer the following:1) If you "CONTINUE" to remain silent, then don't even think of going back to your "Advanced" students and try to "sell it," like you have hundreds of times before.2) Because, through this, and other websites, they are very well informed. Further, they know that they can contact me "for free," by (PM) as always.Finally, Lang Lang, (who will never play a Major Piece for orchestra again), and all of these so-called Asian Superstars, are nothing but "HYPE."I am so happy that this posted.

There was another piece on here, buried in a post somewhere now, where the plays some kind of modern piano piece and ends up sitting on the keys or smashing the keys at the end. Same idea. More of an expression outlet than 'best physics-wise.'
I watched a couple of other videos.She frequently stands up briefly during a piece, it's part of her performance schtick. So she's figured a way to stay in dynamic balance with an unusual posture.
