    What an incredible year 2018 has been, I want to thank you all for being here on this pianistic journey, the year began with an Etude by Rachmaninoff, and it was only fitting for it to end with an Etude by Liszt. "Un Sospiro" translates into English as "A Sigh", a feeling captured so well by Liszt in this piece. This feeling can be expressed in many ways, one of my favorite interpretations of the piece is by Hamelin, his performance inspired my own, although on the other side of the spectrum is the slower performance by Paul Barton which is equally as beautiful. I wish everyone all the best in 2019, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

    I never really listened to, or appreciated, or even thought twice about, classical piano. Then, I randomly stumbled across your channel browsing youtube and it changed everything. Now, many months later, I find myself listening to many great pianist; Arrau, Lugansky and Brendel, yet I find myself drawn back to you. Your take on this music, the subtlety of it, the lite flow, I guess the Rousseau of it all, the you that made me stop for a minute and listen. I suppose this drawn out post can be simplified into a few words and those few words are, Thank you Rousseau.

      I've found almost the same. I've always been into classical music but I've never really branched out from guitar or orchestral pieces. I've always wanted to start listening to classical piano like this but it's never really been this convenient. It's great to have someone like him documenting his virtuosity and that of the composers which made these pieces so that we can hear all in one place

As for classical, I've really been into Chopin's Nocturne Sonatas lately. I'm still really green to the classical genre, but it's really quite interesting how each artist has thier own style, I suppose, on how they read and play the sheet music. I cant read sheet music so I cant tell the difference between flawless or blasphemy.

      Talent helps, but the biggest thing is practice. You could learn this piece too although it would take several years. (Also Its true that young people have the advantage over older people in terms of potential, but that potential mostly decides who can become a famous soloist, not who can play a pretty difficult piece.)

    just wanted to leave my experience here since a lot of people are taking up or restarting piano in quarantine:
    for some context, i learnt piano for about 3 years before i quit, and took it up again 3 years later but without a teacher. i learnt pieces at my own pace and it was more a hobby than a passion. in late 2018 i learnt pieces that were relatively simple for the experience i'd had. in quarantine, i got far more interested in piano, and also read more about composers, and i found this piece. it was so, so beautiful that i felt i absolutely had to learn it. at this point i had already learnt a bit of nocturne in e flat major, fur elise and canon in d (all the overplayed ones, i know). i got the first few seconds down in one or two days, but the left hand's uncomfortable twist from c# to g flat was worrying me. i tried moving my hand higher up the keys and it was okay for a while but there was still a slight discomfort. my wrist still hurts a lot. i suspect it was from this piece particularly because i exerted myself a lot and put a great deal of stress on my wrist (probably from an incorrect positioning of it). anyway, the point of this comment was that if you're learning this piece, take it slow. worry more about your comfort, posture and fingering rather than it "sounding nice". don't get worried about the speed as soon as you start, that's impractical. go at your own pace. you have time, that's for sure :)

      (Necroposting) That part really isn't that horrible, you need to get your fingers into a pattern in your muscle memory, I found it to be the easiest part of the piece, Rousseau is playing it in a way so that it looks harder than it actually is, sure it's fast but I was able to do it just fine putting my right hand to the melody and left hand to the accompaniment for 90% of the piece.

    I always come back to this piece, your interpretation and performance of this song just does something to me the others do not. It's beautiful and I want to listen to it forever, thank you Rousseau 😊

    this piece is so beautiful that it even makes Rousseau's right hand kinder and share the melody with the left

      Emilie Casey that's the part most people would consider the most beautiful part of the piece, or the breaking point in the piece. I teared up the first time I heard that part, too, and the part at 3:18, 0:28-40, 3:35-3:50. The way it's phrased can also change the effect it has on the listener, so maybe the way he phrased it made you sob. It's said by many people that this is the most beautiful piece ever composed (as said on google), and most people would agree, so it's perfectly normal to sob in the middle of the piece. And, as Joanne Huynh said, it can also have something to do with something going on in your life.

    I quite like how he didn’t just go for a basic dominant 5 chord to resolve the piece, which would have sounded fine but what he wrote definitely embodies the title of the piece.

      @Tim Samuel : No. Ling Ling is a fictional violinist created by the duo behind the TwoSetViolin channel. Ling Ling is the _ultimate_ violinist. Practices 40 hours a day, can play the most difficult pieces with ease, etc etc. It’s a sort of tongue in cheek inside joke for musicians, especially the violinists. TwoSet fans pop up now and then and quote Ling Ling can do .... it’s almost like a compliment, I think. Like the only one that could top this is Ling Ling, a fictional UBER-violinist.

    I had never heard this song before....ever, and when I heard this, I had to close my eyes, the melody of it...I legitimately began to cry, I couldn't explain the tears, or even truly explain the feeling behind them, but this is the first time in a long time I've connected so deeply and thoroughly to music, I used to play the piano with my great grandmother when I was very young, however after she passed away, and her piano went to my grandmother, I drifted away from piano, only to occasionally jump on it to play moonlight sonata. The only song I could play. Moonlight sonata hold a special place to me as it was my great grandmothers favorite. I would play it for my great grandfather, who outlived her, and he would smile. He loved when I played it. I haven't touched the piano in years, but this made me feel like I was playing with my great grandmother again. thank you, if only for making this accessible to me, thank you
