    It was only 1.5 years ago that I started Rousseau, and now there are over 2 MILLION of us - I can't even begin to comprehend this, thank you all. Now that we’ve hit this incredible milestone and ticked HR2 off the bucket list, it is time to take Rousseau to the next level. An original album is already in the works, we're thinking of ways to reimagine live shows too and are working on a concert series! This is just the beginning of what is planned beyond RUclips and I can’t wait to share more details with you all in 2020! If you’re subscribed to the newsletter, you’ll be the first to know. ♥ www.rousseaum.com

    My grandfather used to play this as well as many other Liszt and Chopin pieces when I was a kid.
    He chose a life of entrepreneurship over becoming a concert pianist.
    He always said it was the best decision he ever made because otherwise he never would’ve met my grandma and my whole family would never have come to be.
    He passed away last month.
    It’s amazing how much more of an impact this recording has for me now that he’s passed.

      It is a place that the composer adds in the music for the performer to show off their skills, or set a mood. At the end of this piece, the composer (Liszt) wrote in that the performer should play a cadenza there. Liszt himself composed a few cadenzas for this, and Rachmaninoff created one also, and Hamelin’s version was played here.

    About a year ago, I didn't really know what genre of music I enjoyed, there wasn’t really anything that genuinely intrigued me. I didn't have a favorite song, I wasn't familiar with many famous artists or composers, I generally just wasn't closely connected to the world of music. During my freshman year in high school, I was part of a band with my friends (I played the keyboard). When we decided that we were going to start performing, I started to feel like I had more of a purpose in playing piano other than just playing for fun every once in a while. So, I began playing a lot more consistently and practicing more difficult songs. But, at this time I still wasn't truly “in the music,” I didn't love it enough.
    One afternoon, my piano teacher showed me this one song during a lesson. I could just tell by the name that it was a classical piece, my least favorite genre of music at the time. After listening to it for about two minutes, we went back to our lesson. I honestly forgot the reason why he wanted to show me the piece, but it didn't exactly interest me in the slightest bit (mainly because I assigned the stereotypes people often associate with "classical music" to it (like “slow,” “boring,” etc.)).
    After that one particular lesson, I started humming. I didn't recognize what was stuck in my head until I went to my search history on RUclips. "Nope. No. Not that one-oh wait..." and that was it. The _classical_ song that I had completely forgotten about. *“Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.”* You know what I did then? I clicked on the song again, played it from the beginning, and listened very intently with a clear and curious mind. After I heard the whole piece in its entirety…. Yes, I made the connection that it was _that_ song from Tom and Jerry, but what I truly got out of that experience was an eagerness like no other. The eagerness to explore and completely immerse myself in the world of classical music.
    From then on, I've been doing just that. I’ve been listening to classical music for hours upon hours each day, I’ve been playing countless classical pieces on the piano (in fact, I’ve been playing so much lately that I developed carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists and fingers :()

    • @entity-hp3xw

      I remember that feeling...but I found Dubstep instead, and got the same feeling. I, too, thought about the classical stereotypes, and never listened to it until I found Rachmaninoff's prelude in g minor. I now have an obsession for piano music of all kinds, and am even converting dubstep songs into classical, and vice versa.

    I've been revisiting this recording periodically for a couple of years now and I consider this my reference recording for this piece. That is, this is what I compare everything else to. Tonight, two hours ago I was in a private home listening to a private concert performed by a very good concert pianist. There were about 30 people present. The piece was performed on a new Yamaha baby grand. They played this piece, one of my favorites. When they got to the cadenza two people got up from the audience and walked over and joined the pianist and they went on to play the most complex mind blowing 7 minute long six handed cadenza I have ever heard. They never left the theme of the piece but simply reworked it and varied it and layered it from end to end in what I would call a beautiful convolution of notes. The three performers composed the arrangement of the cadenza themselves. The principal pianist is a concert pianist but also teaches and the other two were his students. I was unable to convince them to provide me with a copy of the sheet music for the cadenza though clearly they were performing off sheet music they had hand written.

      Horowitz's rendition Ive found was a 100 mph dumpster fire. And people say no it's great just because its Horowitz. Fuck that it was terrible and Lang Lang's version was just as terrible. Rosseau's version didnt have the dynamics as much but outside of a few hard spots where he slowed down it was clean and I appreciate it.

      Yeah, there are so many pieces that people always rush when the piece is actually moderato for exemple, or the piece is not so fast but people change de speed, like La Campanella or Fantasie Impromptu, the interpretation is not so fast but there's a lot of people playing so freaking fast, that's so sad and sacrilegious.

    Okay, a few things:
    First of all, the visuals in this are beautiful. Definitely the best and most interesting ones that you've used so far. They really add an extra feeling of wonder. Gold and diamond are appropriate as this is such a long-awaited piece, it's like treasure to us subscribers.
    Secondly, I love all the little unique changes you've made with the timing and phrasing of certain parts, which I haven't heard anywhere else. You definitely made the piece your own and gave it a new life, a new feel, a new personality if you will. Incredible. (P.S. the abridged part was awesome).
    Obviously this took a lot of hard work and care, and you must have spent a long time preparing, practicing, editing and recording. Thank you for putting in so much effort to entertain your audience and brighten their experience!

      @@ebfsgsffsgscseb It came from Marc-Andre Hamelin, a great virtuoso. Rousseau decided to play it as what is meant to be in that section is what is called cadenza ab lib, in which the performer plays an improvised, usually virtuosic passage of music to fit his/her own style of playing. Hamelin was one of the several pianists on RUclips (at least) whom adhered to said musical direction, as many would have ignored that and move to the coda. Rachmaninoff is another who had done a cadenza for this piece, you should check it out!

      You can try to go look at the article yourself.

      @@raizelrai4424 Cadenza doesn't really have anything to do with music theory. It's mostly a virtuosic passage meant to be a cooldown in the piece or a buildup to a climax for example, through the most time in history it meant to be improvised by the performer during the play and to show off his technique, although with the beginning of the romantic era they were usually wrote before by the composer and meant to be played like that. Liszt here leaves the pianist a free hand to either omit the cadenza and go straight through the piece, play one of plenty cadenzas already written by him, which are in most editions, or to improvise/play his own
