Short and cute!

I’ve always thought so.

Nice little piece she played, too!

(seriously, great articulation)

Those repeated notes. Damn.

The piece sounds more like Liszt than like Schumann.

You’re in the ballpark. It’s a Tausig transcription.

Wang is really good with these kinds of show pieces. When I first saw her play

I felt pure hatred only. I'd have loved to take her Louboutin stilettos and ramm them into her head.

The Schumann/Tausig reminds me of this gem of a transcription by Rachmaninoff:

Kung Fury, Kung Fuhrer, TriceraCop, Laser-Raptor, machine gun wielding Viking babes, Thor, and giant fighting robots ... you know it’s good.

@Axtremus I am sure you have visit there before, right? It has been a few years, but I have always been impressed with teh airport.

[Axtremus]

@taiwan_girl, the “Jewel” of ChangYi airport opened in April 2019, after my last visit to that airport, so I have not seen it for real yet. But even without the “Jewel,” the ChangYi airport was impressive enough as it was.

Nice demonstration of magnetic acceleration.

[taiwan_girl]

@Axtremus is the principle for the magnetic high speed trains?

[Axtremus]

@taiwan_girl More than one way to build high speed trains, “maglev” uses magnetic acceleration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev

Some amusement park rides and roller coasters also use magnetic acceleration.
