Chopin's Etude Op. 10 No. 5. It's got the nickname 'Black Keys' for a reason, the right hand only plays on black keys! Although there have been some "piano hack" tutorials teaching non-piano players to sound like they actually know how to play the piano by only playing the black keys, it's crazy to hear how much harmonic and melodic interest a composer like Chopin can create from this limit. Hopefully this piece can brighten up your Monday ♥
Here's a fun fact for you: In b.66 there is actually an F written for the RH, making there ONE white right hand note written in the piece. In the original editions the falling thirds were placed in the left hand staff, and although it's currently written in for the RH, some pianists play this F with the left hand (as was done in this video).
I've built up a collection over the years so that makes it easier! But definitely have to cut into sleep time to get these all ready for RUclips ;) I'd ask the same about you - you manage to consistently write so many incredible arrangements!
Gotta appreciate how you're able to nail it at that speed! I can hardly get the notes even in some parts, and I tend to hit a lot of stray notes especially near the end. Hoping to cover this soon though
_“Life is like a piano; the white keys represent happiness and the black show sadness. But as you go through life's journey, remember that the black keys also create music.”_
ok hear me out. the final chord at 1:48 of Rousseau’s “Minute Waltz” video has the most perfect transition with this video at 0:48 . i’ve always felt like they need to be put together
The Rousseau subscribers: 50% - "Wow nice performance, so much effort. 10% - "I'm new so do you only play classical?" 40%- I'm waiting for Hungarian Rhapsody.....
This is why your channel amazing! Your are an inspiration to us all! Everytime I'm not in the mood for practicing, I come and watch some your videos and I'm off to the piano again :)
I still remember 5 years ago when I first started learning piano. I asked my teacher what song she thought was hard to play and I heard this song for the very first time. Every time I watch this video I would think back to the time my teacher played it and thought “I would never be able to play this no matter what”. But now i am here learning this piece. This video was amazing and it still is! keep up the good work!
Quite a fast tempo Rousseau. I must admit I expected a slower tempo to be chosen since I have never heard anyone play it so vigorously except for Lang Lang himself. Great job, your talent impressed me! Keep up the good work
@@Liam-zg2ip This piece is 1-36. There is a video of Horowitz playing this in 1-39. So, no, this in neither too fast nor too slow. Other videos: Stanislav Bunin 1.44; Samson François 1.40; Lukas Geniušas 1.48. And Vladimir Ashkenazy at 1.36. Perhaps you just haven't heard enough versions?
No person that has ever lived, consistently wrote as good of music as Chopin did. No one can change my mind on this. He was the purest form of musical genius we've ever been graced with.
It's about taste. Someone can listen to the most technically challenging and most intricately written song and see no worth in it. And also you said Chopin is favorite, so what are your thoughts on Liszt?
Awesome! As always, thank you for all the tutorials. I would love any support/feedback you guys can provide and will be uploading videos on a weekly basis. Peace.
I paid for RUclips prime just so that I can listen to the classical playlist uninterrupted by adds. You've refreshed classical music streaming which is a feat in itself since these compositions have been around for hundreds of years. Thank you for helping me get through 12 hr work shifts!
The visualization this type of piano gives would be useful for students trying to see where they're making mistakes, as it gives a solid idea of how long they're playing each note for.
This piece is so incredible to me because of the technique and harmony, but mainly, the way it uses arpeggios is so unique for the Romantic era. It almost reminds me of an arpeggiator on a modern synthesizer. Overall this piece evokes the same wonder as many of Chopin’s “happier” works but it also has this futuristic feeling that sets it apart.
