From her biography:
He (M. T. Thomas) has learned, he says, to appreciate both her serious side and her playfulness, which can erupt unexpectedly. "In the Shostakovich First Piano Concerto, there is a place where the piano sits quietly during a trumpet solo," he chuckles, "and then it interrupts with an enormous tone cluster that takes up much of the keyboard. Yuja had joked that one of these days she was going to play it with her derriere. Then, one night during the London Symphony tour, she actually did; "she stood up, turned around, and sat on the keyboard. The trumpet player lost it. It also had a big effect on the audience, but somehow the reviewer didn't seem to notice." At around the same time, he says, she was reading the Confucian Analects in the original.
