I have the contrary impression. As I perceive, she is trying to free them from their perfect time signature conditioning (which is extremely difficult). She uses verbal images (and playing, that is unmediated illustration) to try to get them to feel differently about what their are playing... emotions, body, etc. All but an abstract approach, I feel.

many comments here say about her being a bad instructor. if one can't understand her way of opening up a student to these dimensional possibilities, then one will never benefit from her teachings. she's not a horrible instructor, on the contrary, she's phenomenal. her musicality leads her to her means of teaching which is what you see on the video. look at her react to the student! it's seems such a unique experience!

You take a master class to get the teacher's perspective on music. You are not forced to do it their (her) way after the class; but to be encouraged strongly during class gives you new and different experiences to cultivate your own style. In other words: why take her class unless you want to absorb exactly what she's saying. You dont have to adopt, but just try it and then make your own personal adjustments. ^_^

She is trying to impart something which evades words. She is clearly a gifted musician, who's true aim could be to enlighten and not dominate her students. We can't judge her abilities by what is shown here, because we are witnessing an intimate moment when something crucial and subtle needs to be imparted. Most are too thin skinned to benefit from this type of honest commentary, which is why we plead for protection of the students "individuality". The point is - they need yet to uncover it.

In my opinion, I would not be able to study under her because i would get frustrated. She such an understanding of the music that when she plays, and when she listens to people play, she knows all the ways the piece can be played and all the ways it shouldn't be played. When she is trying to put a student in the right place it can be frustrating for the student to take the direction. But, when someone is able to break through that, and allow her to mold them, they will be able to do anything.

And this is very truth and very good to world because, if all artists assume it, people would get more open-minded to tradition and ones who think classical music is a boring thing would feel themselves more at home to discover that it is a kind of music very humane and very truthful that we all need sometimes as human-beings and that have a strong and precise connection/effect in our souls,spirits,minds.

I don't play a piano unfortunately. But I first saw Maria on TV .It was in black and white only and you didn't see the conductor, only the interaction of her eyes and those of the performers. It was a German production I remember, and it was Mozart's Piano Concerto number 21. This woman is a phenomenon. I would pay a lot to be in her masterclass if I played the piano. She is part of the piano when she plays. Every fibre of her vibrates with every note. I love to watch her play. Long live Maria

That which we cannot see is eternal. Artists are perhaps the same as everyone else, but moreso... Phillip Wilcher

Body expression must be espontaneus, its the way you fell the music, if the pianist stay quiet, the music must sound the same that when he moves... moving the body does not change the sonund, the hands do that.. you cant teach that, If you like to move when you play, its ok, if not, its also Ok.

Oh the ignorance - how catastrophic. Lang Lang bashes the piano during fff parts, using the 'full range of the instrument' which may not be comfortable for some, but then composers aren't always aiming for audial comfort. Listen to Lang Lang's version of Liszt's Liebestraum (third movement particularly). It is played beautifully and is an example of how very wrong you are.
