Chopin's most melancholic prelude, which by his own request was played at his funeral. I'm not sure if anyone has captured the sense of despair quite as well as Chopin has in this piece, I find it incredible that we can still experience the emotions he felt almost 200 years later, forever preserved in this beautiful work.

All jokes aside, thank you for this video 🙏💖
I love these little summary comments on every video, they're always really informative and inspire me to learn more
Imagine you are going through a rough breakup in the 1800s and Chopin drops this piece.
The only way you could listen to it is if it was being played in person because the technology to record wasn’t invented yet.
@@mannyroman5217 Have you heard of concept called humor?
@@tj-co9go haha I’m saying what would have actually happened
@@mannyroman5217 yeah but still, they had the first type of sound recording hardware in the 1800s
@@whimsical3507 yea but, it wasn’t common until the late 1800’s
You know Chopin is being generous when he's not using all 88 keys in the piece
hahaha unlike those crazy jumps and chromatic runs in prelude no. 16
You know Chopin is being generous when you don't need to have amazing hand cordination to play his piece
And when he writes a one page piece
Underrated

"Once one has played a vast quantity of notes and even more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art" - Frederic Chopin
Hello my friend! I opened youtube chanel l am playing the piano. Can l please get subscribe?🙏🙏🙏
"it's ironic... He made many complex songs... But he couldn't escape simplicity."
Darth pianist or something
Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto agree!
**cough cough**, winter wind, **cough cough**
What he meant is that you'll play many notes, full chords, and most of the notes are redundant and irrelevant harmonically speaking. Simplicity here is the art of playing only the meaningful notes, and it takes a lot of work to be able to identify each note role easily, such as 3rd 7th 9th, inversions, which bass note to use relative to the melody, etc. Yes you can play complex chords, but can get the same chord with a few notes spread among the melody and the actual harmony?
I think it's the most sincere piece of Chopin. It seems like he didn't feel like he should add some complicated things like in the other pieces (that are truly beautiful don't get me wrong) he just wrote a piece that sounds like the way he was feeling. It made this piece so authentic and touching
The piece can sound pretty simple, but when you analize it with detention, you realize it's very complex, and the form that changes the major chords to minor and then unsolved chords is, wow.
His Prélude no 6 in B minor gives me this same feeling, maybe even more
@@zacubing8536 none of what you said made sense.

Chopin is marvellous, but don't forget about Rachmaninoff ❤️
Я как раз слушаю это произведение непрерывно много-много раз, и не могу наслушаться... Это невозможно... Это невыносимо прекрасно!
Probably the greatest piano composer. The best composer of classical music is Tchaikovsky, methinks. The nutcracker suite, the romeo and juliet suite, Swan Lake, and the 1812 overture are some of the most popular classical songs to this today.
Everyone's saying this is super sad and yeah ig but this is just my morning alarm lol. It's gentle, not too loud, and I haven't gotten sick of it like my other alarms :D
I set up gentle morning alarms too!
My alarm is "Fly On" by Coldplay.
So it’s a Mourning alarm?
What do you mean you guess it's sad. The right hand is literally a man moaning and crying. Of course it's sad.
@@aarong9128 Art is meant to be interpreted and while the intent may have been sadness, I just don't recieve it that way. It's peaceful, stable, and just reminds me of waking up in the morning at this point.
"If it isn't played in my funeral, i won't come" - Chopin

Honestly, a big brain move would to not play at his funeral, so he never comes and dies, and keeps composing beautiful works

"Oh, you listen to Chopin?"
"No. I *feel* Chopin."
Chopin is correctly pronounced: show - pang.
Sounds a bit pretentious
Micah Wyatt hahahah yes

wow you are so smart you like chopin
Interesting fact: The piece wanders around E minor but doesn't actually include an E minor chord until the final bar. That's why the tonic at the end is so satisfying. Edit: lol no need to get angry. I know there’s two instances of an Emin in first inversion (beginning and 1:28) but that root position Emin after the cadence at the end is still satisfying and not heard in the rest of the prelude. Just thought it would be cool to point that out for people who don’t know that much about music. Stay safe!
Matias no? Literally the first chord that the left hand plays is an e minor chord in first inversion... I guess what you’re saying is true to a certain extent but not really.
Edit: accidently said 2nd inversion but that would be wrong because the third is on the bottom, not the fifth.
what matias actually wanted to say once the tonic is presented it does not return until the very last chord :)
yeah, it was said in a ted talk and that's the reason I am playing this piece now
But E minor gets played at 1:25 in first inversion
Matias is talking about the upper voice, it plays every note except E until a certain point but its not over an Eminor, it keeps playing E but its over the wrong chords so it doesn't feel at home or at rest and just perks the ear because we really want to hear the E over something different until finally the last measure is the Eminor with an E in the high voice
This was so beautiful!!!!! Crushed my heart!
Same here just like moonlight sonata 1st movement once did
Hahaha 🤣 🤣🤣🙂🙂🙂
Lol
Yup me too.. but I love prelude 28 no.7 more hehe
I just learned it hahah
I just finished learning this beatiful masterpiece. It's the first piece I learned, and I don't regret my choice a bit. Everytime I feel stressed or sad, playing this just makes me better, because of this, I really recommend this piece as the first piece to you to learn
this is your first piece?? If you can play this then I recommend Fantasia in D minor by Mozart
@@GHOST-mf7xj oh yes, I plan on learning it soon!
I wondered how hard this would be for someone who has never touched a piano before. I would definitely love to learn to play it, but can't even read music.
@@menm_91 I assure you I didn't have any difficulty in learning it. Of course, I had by that time a significant time of hand conditioning exercises and similar things. I think it wouldn't be hard for you, this piece requires almost no advanced skills whatsoever and barely any hand independence, so it is probably not that hard. What I can recommend to you is that you properly condition your hand before attempting it, or else it is going to be far harder than it was for me. I hope you can learn it one day!
@@Henri.d.Olivoir Thanks for your reply!
Why did I stop playing the piano the absolute worst decision of my life...
@Mariana Blanco Poletto I miss it also so I'm planing to start learning it again after high school
Hope you get a good start again

It's like riding a bike! I stopped for 18 years and recently got a piano. After a year of playing and practicing I'm back to playing my advanced classics book.

Chopin must have been very ill when he wrote this prelude. It sounds like he is marching to his own grave. Then, the last few chords at the end are like the final burial.
Truly sad, but genius. RIP Frederic Chopin (The GOAT of Composers)
Great opinion, but I think the funeral march is the real death and this could be the funeral.

It is like Chopin took his mastery of impossibly complex playing and composition and refined it down to one of the most simple yet profoundly poignant pieces of music ever created.
Life has been bestowing upon me great difficulty as of late and I will sit and play this song over and over again as it provides such catharsis and fills me with commiseration regarding the desolate, dismal lows of the human condition.
I hope you're doing better by now.
I am magnified by the virtuosic composition of this comment. Rarely do I have to resort to the search engines three times in one instance.
Cudowna muzyka genialnego Chopina, boskie wykonanie. ❤️
Chopin: Play this at my funeral
Funeral March: *Am I a joke to you?*
@Gizio the Jackal stupid people
Chopin: Nope, I am just not that angry anymore. I am at peace with death.
I first heard this song on played by Rousseau on November 30th, 2019, and thought it sounded amazing, I described it as a beautiful tragedy. I was obsessed with it and thought to myself "I can definitely play this." On December second, I downloaded and printed the sheet music. At this point, I had only been learning the piano seriously since the beginning September. But I vowed to learn this one piece. There was something about it. So everyday, I would practice, read the sheet music and advance, play along. There was a point where I stopped learning this piece, around mid December, because the part at 1:52 was too hard, I resumed my regular practice instead. I decided to have another go at it about 2 weeks ago. I spent the past two weeks learning 1:52, and 2:01, as you can see, I am terrible when it comes to moving across the keys. It's now 12:30AM, January 10th, and I can finally say that I learned to play this piece. It took from November 30th, to January 10th, but I can finally play this entire piece. Practice truly does make perfect, and it opened my eyes. I can truly begin to appreciate pianists, and those of all instruments, because it took so long for me to learn such a relatively simple piece. Guys, practicing everyday is worth it! It pays off!
Bubba we all been down that road where we truely wanted to learn a beautiful piece, put our hearts into it and practice everyday it’s an amazing journey
I started yesterday, I can play until 1:52, but this 10 seconds are very very hard, I feel you Paine you had before😄
Relatable I started 3 days ago an I'm stuck at exactly the part you mentioned.
You guys are stuck in the hard parts and im stuck memorizing the beginning :( I can play from 1:52 easily but I keep forgetting the notes on my left hand all the way to that part its soo annoying! I have to look at my sheet and it makes me fail the timings.
@@TheTrueReiniat yeah good idea, my problem was fixed when I memorized the part so I wouldn't have to look at the sheet and get confused
this piece just stirs me to the core...combination of key, progression, tempo, everything... one of my all time favorites.
Finally after 6 months of practicing this on and off, I can now play it all the way through! Thank you @Rousseau for helping me accomplish this, as it was a significant goal in my life to fully learn this piece when I have no knowledge of music theory or how to read sheet music. You've allowed me to be able to carry a piece of music that brings me some of the greatest emotion and peace, and I thank you very much for that. Bless
Why can pianos express so much emotion
It's mostly simply melodies
That’s the thing
Not the piano - but the one who plays it.
Every instrument can express lots of emotions 😃
All instruments have a lot of emotion in them it just depends on the time and piece they are playing
When he lifted his hands off I was stressing that the piece just ended like that
But then he hit that Emin and hot damn
@@loukes116 better than a bass drop
after listening to Disasterpeace's rendition of this song, i actually prefer the song to end there, something about it stopping there makes it feel lonely, like it drifted away before saying goodbye.
@@zaxolotl *piece
@@zaxolotl well for me i prefer this one because Disasterpeace’s rendition sounds like he just cutted the last part and it sounded like it didnt even continue like “watch episode 2 for the last part” cause its like an actor trying to cry but then the actor breaks character by not continuing to cry because he thought its the end and i dont really like it in my opinion because it didnt even sounded like it was waving a goodbye to us viewers it was more of like a person forced to stop playing in that part.
2:39
*Clapping*
Wait I’m not done yet
First and foremost, thank you for this rendition. While Chopin is known for his more challenging pieces, I feel the emotion here captures much more than a Liszt-style prelude. Simple, tragic, short-lived, ephemeral, and still immortal. Much like Chopin himself.

For the people who are just calling this sad, there's more to this music that sadness. It's wistful. It evokes feelings of longing for something that was lost and is now deeply missed.
Hello my friend! I opened youtube chanel l am playing the piano. Can l please get subscribe?🙏🙏🙏
it's kinda depressing actually. I think it's a perfect music for depression, or someone who are depressed, like me
This is a great point. I believe Chopin's deepest desire was always to return to his native Poland but Poland's constant tumult made that an impossibility which created this tinge of longing in his compositions. I think this is why he requested his heart be returned to Poland, as his physical body was never able to.

I can’t read notes yet but I’ve learned whole pieces through watching you play. I truly can express how grateful I am for your videos. Thank you
Learn to read you’ll get it in time.
omg no. what are you doing you have to start by reading notes this isnt right. never learn to play like this because of SOO many reasons!
As a Pole, I cannot help but feel Poland through his music. Chopin was separated from his homeland, which was under occupation. As he was in France, many of his family and friends were fighting for freedom against the Russians. Music is for all the people from all over the world. But there is a distinct melody in his work that captures the longings and melancholy of the Polish soul
Yeah. He had a bad life.
Meanwhile: "... the Poles had a strange attitude towards Chopin himself. Less than half a century after his death, his compatriots managed to forget about him completely. The Russian composer Miliy Balakirev, a great admirer of Chopin's talent, arrived in Warsaw and was amazed. "I found the house in which the genius Fryderyk was born in a terrible state of abandonment, and the current owner of the village did not know who Chopin was at all... The result of my activity was the establishment of a monument in Zhelyazova Volya, which took place on October 14, 1894." The irony of fate is that "Muscovites, these Eastern barbarians", cursed by Chopin, cared about preserving their heritage almost more than proud nobles...". Maybe, in fact, not everything was as Chopin thought, and as you say here?
And all this "disgrace" began in 1831 with the fact that the would-be patriots wished to restore Poland within the borders of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of 1772.
By that time, on many lands of these borders there was both left-bank Ukraine and Belarus and Lithuania - such restoration was impossible. How it ended, apparently you know.
A similar thing is happening now with the Turks - the Ottoman greatness does not leave Erdogan alone.
In general, as always, we ran into each other.
The subsequent history of Poland has shown what the Poles are capable of. There are many of the greatest representatives who came from the Polish lands, but in general you have always been wrong with both friends and enemies.
Now Poland in general has simply become one of the outposts of the State Department in Europe and, being a member of the European Union, plays more on the side of the United States than Europe. Well, Russophobia is probably in your blood. We have nothing against you and have always been open to Poles. What your government is doing now, as always, harms the Polish people. Something like that, dear :)
@@user-lz3wk3ff1j I do not understand why you must write such a comment under this video, which has no political underpinnings whatsoever. Neither did I refer to Russians as "barbarians" in my comment either, though I can understand Chopin's historical context and why he expressed those ideas.
As a Pole, I see history from a different perspective, and I believe that your analysis of Poland's partition era history shows your own bias and misunderstandings that have been informed by your environment. Nevertheless, Russophobia is not written in my blood, or in the blood of Poles. There are aspects of Russian culture I admire, and I don't feel the need to denigrate your nation as you have just denigrated Poland. Maybe you are suffering from Polonophobia?
@@user-lz3wk3ff1j While there are many misconceptions I can address in your comment, I believe that the greatest one I can mention is your description of the Commonwealth as a kind of "Polish Empire".
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is by no means a "Polish-Empire". It was a federalized state in which Lithuanian and Ruthenian elites played just as important a role as Polish elites. The governing structure of the Commonwealth was a noble democracy that prioritized local autonomy and resisted the gathering of centralized power in the hands of an absolute monarch. Most of the major expansions of Polish-Lithuanian territory occurred through treaties and agreements, while most of the acts of Polish-Lithuanian aggression were initially instigated by magnates (often of Ruthenian heritage and identity) and their private armies.
The Commonwealth was not built to be an aggressively expansionist state. It did not have the structure, political will, or resources to be one.
The undergirding principle of Poland-Lithuania was the representational government, which dramatically differed the absolute monarchies developing in the west and the imperial autocracies developing in the east (ex: Muscovite Russia).
I`m learning this piece and after listening quite a few versions I think you`ve managed to capture perfectly in your playing the emotion that the piece transmits. I`m amazed how the left hand plays such a simple rhythm but the chords selection is incredible, such a melancholic feeling.
All the best!
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful in my self study/review and sight reading of enjoyable classical pieces! Keep up the great playing.

You can truly feel the malaise of his soul in this piece. To be honest, I didn't think this sounded anything like Chopin until after the opening measures. The repetitive usage of the same notes in the first few measures made me think he was beating his head on the piano followed by intense sobbing and heartache. This feels like a heavy loss and can say I experienced that.
You can feel real Chopin's emotions only playing his wonderful pieces... You are really talented. BRAVO!
I love how the left hand feels like a heartbeat. It’s so beautiful and moody!!!
I absolutely love this! One of my favorite classical pieces.
You play my favorite renditions of my favorite pieces by my favorite composers with higher audio quality and more beautiful audio visualizations than I've seen anywhere else online. I'm genuinely thankful that you share your talents. Keep it up.

It's now one of my favorites and makes me think of my dog 😌we had to return her to the shelter because of biting issues and I cried every night since... after I heard this I decided to learn it and it's very fun to play :) Many people just don't know about classical music, but it's beautiful and Chopin expresses sadness in it. ❤

Such a masterpiece, easy to play but hard to perform, easy to read but hard to understand. Where other composers thought that music lies in the notes played, Chopin proved that it lies in the transitions from one note to the other.
Nah, it's pretty easy. I'm first year taking lessons and learned it in a short amount of time. People make a huge deal put of rubato. People abuse it to the point where the music sounds like trash. Trust the composer more than yourself. Because when you rubato the hell put of it you take what you feel is boring to a word of something unlistenable.
this was the first piece of Chopin I ever played/heard which I played for my 4th grade piano exam. This piece is truly amazing. I had struggled with the emotion but you have showcased that very well. You played this so well and I can definitely feel the emotion which I found extremely difficult. great job!

By far the most powerful, yet sad, and also emotional song I have ever encountered....

the most beautiful thing about this piece is: It is soooo melancholic and with some feeling everyone can play it. It isn't even a difficult piece yet so stunning.
This is by far my favorite interpretation, the slow tempo portraits the pain like no other speed can. I'm inspiring myself in your playing while I learn this piece, thank you for all the content you put up!
I've listened to this version almost exclusively and just stumbled across Khatia Buniatishvili and it was so jarring, her tempo at the start seems way off. Here, it sort of picks up in a balanced way whereas her version just seems to not have that? I am a piano noob, am I missing something?
This Opus 28 Number 4 is Chopin's one of my favourites. ❤❤❤❤
After listening to this I absolutely fell in love with it. It's a bit above my level but after a month of practice, I can finally play it! Thank you Rousseau for introducing me to this beautiful piece.
I think i've found my next piece to practice. After two and a half years of piano, Chopin, here i come!
This was the piece that made me quit wanting to learn how to sight read. My teacher assigned it to me, and I had no motivation or desire to learn this song. Not because it was complicated to read, (although at that time it wasn't easy for me by any means) but because I really didn't want to, it was boring to me, and I never gave it a chance. Only 3 years later, after wasting so much time trying to learn complex pieces using Synthesia, did I learn to appreciate classical music more, and that I can't get any closer to my goals as a pianist until I take the time to learn to sight read. If I had only kept practicing my sight reading back then, I would be much better off right now, but I've decided to back track, forget all the impractical techniques and bad habits I developed, and start from the beginning where it all started, using only sheet music from now on. I can finally say that I was able to read through the entire piece, and will now work on polishing it. It's the 2nd piece just today that I've learned, on top of a 3rd I started earlier this week, and will finish after I get a bit better with understanding the fundamentals of sight reading. In all, after just a week in a half, I've learned 2 and a half songs, and am on my way to mastering one of them, and eventually all 3 of them. When before I could barely memorize 3 different songs in under a year and a half, here I am now learning several in such a short time. Sheet music is so worth the effort. Without it, I would spend way too long learning a piece, and by thetime I would finish learning it, I would forget what I worked on before, and couldn't play any more than 3 or 4 pieces total in my entire 3 years of playing. All the rest were forgotten, a very frustrating road block for a pianist who can't sight read, and I will probably forever be 3 years behind where I should be, but at least I will be able to polish and improve my technique as if I were just now starting to learn piano from the basics.

This masterpiece represents kind of pain in every polish soul.
Composers mood and feelings while writing every piece played through this instrument. How to write out your emotions without words. It's amazing.
Everytime I hear Chopin , I break into tears. Such pain like his should never exist.. but we came blessed with such amazing work.. truly amazing..
What about Etude op 10 no 5?
It was not just his pain, it was the whole nation in despair.
So much emotion for such an easy piece.
This, is my favorite tempo for this timeless, heart wrenching prelude.. Yes, I feel it exactly that slow. Those repeated C and B at the beginning, played with slight hesitation are the most important. In my head, I hear a man telling his painful regrets, inches before the end of his life. That is what I hear.
I’ve always listened to this as a calling to ever-unfolding inner discoveries. It cuts right through your very soul and takes you to dimensions that you’ve never visited before.

It's amazing how this piece managed to be so simple yet complex at the same time. Much like the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, it's a cakewalk to learn the notes, but to play them *right* with the proper feeling is another matter altogether. And you did a spectacular job at playing this with the kind of emotional delivery that this piece deserves.
So much emotion for such a short piece
My memory:
30 minutes ago my girlfriend that I did everything for her , destroy my future for her, we were together for 3.5 years,she left me for no reason ,after almost 2 months bagging her not to leave, plz whats my fault? she said " I just don't love you anymore " please don't make me block you . I'll listen to Chopin until feeling better.
