Chopin's Waltz Op. 64 No 2. The penultimate waltz he published, and one of the last works he ever composed. In contrast to the grandeur in some of his more lively waltzes, Chopin was also a master of melancholy, as captured in this waltz. Even in the major theme, I can't help but feel something bittersweet - who knew the feeling of loneliness and longing could be so beautiful? I hope you have a great start to the week ♥

I saw my father playing this timeless piece when I was a kid. I am 82 now and I still remember watching his strong hands over the keyboard and the pleasure in his handsome face. When he was 18 my grandparents prompted him to apply for a scholarship in Europe, which he reluctantly did. When it was his time for a test, there was a sudden power outage in the building; my father said he would play anyway -which he did in the dark! The German professor wanted to take him to Europe right away! But my father said he preferred to remain studying in Montevideo, where he became an architect and math teacher --never stopping his piano playing.
Peter Waite I believe there referring to the RUclips although I’ve heard some nice works by Rousseau the composer, one could say this RUclips channel is revolutionizing classical piano once more, as many more people are being introduced to lesser known pieces
My mom would play this on her baby grand when I was young. She's gone now, but this is the only piece that reminds me of her and of better days. Thank you for sharing.
@@alexngo2709 Fantasie Impromptu, Etude Op. 10 No. 4... there is just something special about this key.. the sound of an c-sharp minor chord is just so characteristic to me and probably my favorite minor chord
definitely, every time i play this (it was my last recital piece) i really focus on gradually slowing down before the end of each section and gradually speeding up at the beginning of a new one
All my favourites are in C sharp minor 🖤: Nocturne in c sharp minor Waltz (this one) Etude op 10 no. 4 Fantaisie impromptu Hungarian Rhapsody no 2 Rachmaninoff prelude in c sharp minor.
One of my favorite Chopin waltzes ever!!! 1:25 sounds like I'm having a glass of an expensive wine when actually I'm doing my homework ugly. Thanks Rousseau!! ❤️
I remember when I was 6 I was doing the choreography in Russian school under this musical piece, this piece is very close to my heart and I still vividly remember how majestical it was. It was deadly quiet, you could only hear the rustle of ballet shoes. The smell of paint fills the old Soviet room with wooden poles and floor. The clumsy movements under this musical piece were not felt at all, you had a feeling of full control of your body. The pianist was an elderly woman with a Soviet mentality, she was strict and profound. However, when she played Chopin's music she was completely immersed in this melancholic atmosphere. As far as I know, she died 8 years ago in her old Soviet apartment. Thank you for the memories. Rest in peace.
This soviet comment was very sovietically soviet. I especially liked the soviet choice of words and how soviet they made your comment seem. I could only feel a deep sovietness while reading this indeed very soviet comment. I can only imagine how sovietically soviet you must feel when remembering this old soviet memories from the times of the Soviet Union
This waltz just feels so different ... So mixed,so soothing yet something that makes one jump ... Different melodies combining into one:mostly happiness but anxiousness and curiosity at the same time
C'est peut-être l'une des influences les plus profondes sur mon enfance passée. Au fil des ans, Chopin m'a appris ce que signifie être passionné, un véritable amour pour la musique et les différentes formes d'art. La musique de Chopin a vraiment touché des millions de millions de cœurs mélomanes à travers le monde... Merci, Chopin.
I started to listen to classical music during my pregnancy. I actually love techno music but I know how good for the baby is the classical music. Even though he's resting in my womb he starts to move when I turn on RUclips 😊 I suppose he'll recognise and like this music when he's born. I love your videos. Congratulations on all your hard work to make them and thank you for sharing with all of us! God bless you! 🙏
Today is Chopin birthday. In this day in our world come a great composer of XIX century. Now i'm crying because of this piece and and because this genius left the world so early...
I love the tempo you play this on. A lot of people tend to rush the "chorus" part of the song (for lack of a better word) but the way you played it was easy going, and honestly I prefer that! Amazing job as always!
Recently learned it, I learned so much about music theory, and the emotions Chopin had behind this. Encouragement to those who want to learn this: *It's not that hard just practice practice practice*
Agree, currently learning it atm. The most difficult thing for me was understanding the way he twists chords. But its 10/10 worth learning, one of his most beautiful pieces
but dont try and play this piece as a beginner, wait until you are at least a good intermediate player. Make sure to go slowly with the part that comes right after the beginning, it is a lot harder then it looks. remember that the more you listen to a piece the less exciting it becomes. if you have to practice this like a 1000 times over it will lose its charm pretty quickly.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane - I played this when I was 17 and used to play most of the piece with a great deal of restraint, and then for a flex played the last repeat of the high part at breakneck speed - it's always interesting hearing different musicians playing their own interpretations of the piece; think I prefer this version upon hearing it with mature ears. Thanks again.
Same I used to speed at that part just for the fun of it. Now that I stopped playing in retrospect that probably wasn't the best way to play but at least I had fun!
my friend played this at a recital once. after that, we went to different schools and never saw each other again. i’ve wanted to learn this for so long and this video is an amazing example for me to listen to. 💞
Just listened to this after my break up and somehow the music spoke... the mood was set right and it just became relatable to me as if Chopin was feeling the same as i was
Well, before Chopin died (in 1849) his girlfriend broke up with him years earlier (in 1836), and when he was dying he must've felt some regret and sadness that you have been feeling. Stay strong, my friend!
I went to his Polish boyhood home near Warsaw about 15 years ago with my Canadian husband , who plays piano and told me he started to play after he heard Chopins' famous Fantasy Impromptu on the radio when he was 15 years old ... in 1965!! Unfortunately the place was locked up as they were doing renovations. I am Polish and actually had a chance to go into the home in high school and they have (at the time) a plaster cast of Chopins hands. I noticed that the space between the fingers was (abnormally) wide. Maybe that is why he could compose some of the works the way they were written.. difficult for anyone.
@@Araconox For the space between Chopin's fingers it was known that Liszt, him, and others as well cutted the little skin between the fingers to do uncommon chords more easily. I know it's yucky xD and I would never do it.
This piece is not that long when you think about it because there are just 3 parts repeated Part A is 0:05 Part B is 0:56 Part C is 1:27 And the pattern is A,B,C,B,A,B
It's so melancholic and beautiful.. seems as if it was written for a couple having their last dance, knowing they wouldn't be together anymore, but perhaps wanting to be.. it's sad and so beautiful. You can recall all the romantic and beautiful moments, while thinking about the need to leave... It's touching
My sister would always put this song to sleep, just since now i remembered it and noticed how beautiful it is. Now after lots of practice I’m finally able to play this piece. Thank you for your amazing playing ❤
In my eyes, that’s the most beautiful Chopin’s piece, what a wonderful present for my birthday ! Thank you so much Rousseau for the emotion that you offered me throughout this masterpiece !
If there is one song that reminds me of my eldest brother, this is it. He played this piece every single time he came home to visit from the UK. He passed away at 37 this past November. I hope to play this one day as well as he did.
My deepest condolences about your brother. May his spirit continue to flow through you and his memory hold fast in your heart as you listen to the music he would play for you. ❤❤❤
As one of the piano pieces featured in The Hogwarts Legacy video game, this one struck me the most and got me to think whether I should take up piano lessons again - I took lessons when i was a kid and then off-and-on again as an adult. Chopin's music is one of a kind (to me & in a good way). 😊
I just adore the piece that you played. When others play it, they just can't feel what they are playing, it seems just some notes to them. But it has a unique something that makes you feel lonely and desperate (
Supongo que nadie comprenderá esto porque está en español o porque sea difícil de entender. Pero debo dejar plantadas mis emociones en algún sitio y eso es lo que estoy haciendo. El piano y la música ha sido lo que me ha motivado a lo largo de los malos tiempos que han pasado en mi corta (pero algo dura) vida. No soy quien para juzgar, vivo muy bien en comparación a otra gente, pero no quiero comparar, tan solo quiero dejar todo de lado y pensar: ah, ¡qué bella es la vida! Pero este sentimiento no ha aparecido en mi en mucho tiempo, y cuando lo hace, son por cortos periodos. Eso no importa, porque la música existe y es gracias a ella y Dios por lo que sigo agradecida con la vida, y aún así no puedo vivirla al máximo, por el miedo o la imposibilidad, las tantas cosas que tengo acumuladas, las que quiero terminar de una sola vez. Pero ¿qué es esta necesidad humana a la que tanto nos acercamos, sino una distracción de la realidad? El arte se emplea para una sola cosa, y esa es la representación de algo. Y por más abstracta que sea la idea, siempre va a estar vinculada a un término humano o realista, que represente el sentimiento o la causa. Como persona, estoy teniendo por mi vida, por mi futuro, me preocupo. Pero eso ya lo sabíamos. En la ciudad nublada de Lima, Perú, las cosas se vuelven pesadas, con el contexto de esta pandemia, peor. Y quiero mantener esa fe de saber que alguien más pasa por lo mismo que yo. Con miedo, y mucho temor, quiero acercarme a ella, la música, majestuosa que hace que la vida sea algo que se disfrute. He estudiado piano por los últimos cinco años. Desafortunadamente ha ocurrido un problema y no puedo tocarlo como antes, ¡oh, qué maldad! Sí, pero no quedaba otra opción. Si no puedo rendirme, no me queda otra opción que seguir luchando. Porque es doloroso, y es duro, y porquela vida va a continuar siendo de esa forma y no podré hacer nada para cambiar lo que tiene planeado. Y, aunque no lo comprenda, debo seguir en pie. Por más que no quiera, o que no pueda, y aunque duela hasta el punto de arder, si sigo así, puede que llegue a encontrar una respuesta. Muchas gracias, Frédéric. Por ser una de mis más grandes motivaciones, ha sido todo un placer poder interpretar algunas de tus piezas, ojalá pronto nos volvamos a encontrar en ese lugar tan raro que es la música.
@@voshlemlem Hola, gracias por tomarte el tiempo de leer mi comentario. Te cuento que he vuelto a tocar el piano con muchas ganas. Sigo teniendo muchos problemas, claro, pero al menos puedo poner mi frustración aparte. Un saludo desde Perú. Gracias
Tu vida, esas vivencias que en ocasiones parecen intransferibles, en este maravilloso relato que hiciste, me resultó tan cercano, como entrañable; estamos vivos, tememos por mucho, no obstante Chopin nos acercó e hizo el milagro, todo seguirá su curso y en tiempos en el que solo seamos un recuerdo y aún, ni siquiera eso, estaremos en Frédéric escuchando al Padre.
I am 79 and still remember when I was 10 year old listening Chopin biography from an old radio because at that time in my country the tv was not arrived yet. At that age I was not able to understand why they called his lover George Sand.. but I was hipnotizad by his music. Now I live in USA and thank God to RUclips can listen and listen to Chopin , Verdi, Beethoven and all the classical pieces. This music is from heaven.
This was my first Chopin piece ever given to learn when I was a child🥰 Now I want to arrange it for violin & piano for myself since I've grown up to become a violinist🎼🎻🎵💕💕💕
This waltz tells a sad story of chopins life, because he composed it in his last years. In this time he was very sick and he morphed his emotion into music. Sorry for the horrible english, i am from austria (:
Whenever I hear classical piano pieces in this key and style, and picture a beautiful sunset or a beautiful day in nature, my soul goes heavenward. It's a healing sound for me. Blessings to all!
I absolutely love this piece and it's one of my favourites from Chopin. Just last week I have thought: "Will Rousseau play it at some time?". So I am even more happy because of the video. I think you did a great job and it is very beautiful performance, well done!
I have heard this song a lot and when I remember my lover I really do miss him when I'm listening to this in a same time. It makes me sad. I remember all the good times when I've been with him😄 Such a joy Rousseau! Thank you.
5 or 6 years ago I stopped takimg piano lessons while I was learning thos somg but never finished it. I just played casually for a few years now I am finally learning this again and finishing it. This is a great help as my accentuation and finger placement has really suffered over the years. Thank you!
I've always ignored this piece but when I truly listened to it. I fell in love with it and now it's my favorite one that even serenade can't compare. Guess I'm on that full cursed love phase.
I’ve been playing piano for 7 years (I’m 12 years old) and when I saw this piece assigned to me by my piano teacher, I never thought I could play it, because of the key signature 😅. I’m still not very good at it, but I’ve come a long way! PRACTICE LIKE THIS GUY RIGHT HERE. He plays very well :>
I'm playing it for my piano teacher as well for a graded exam (also 7 years of playing!), but I chose it, and I'm beginning to think I made the wrong decision...This near all-sharp key after Claire de lune, which had nearly all flats. Plus the accidentals...Haha :') Good luck; have you finished it yet?
I've stumbled upon this masterpiece of channel about a month ago. What drew me to you is your very concerted presentations on all of your pieces. You're very determined, adaptable, and masterful at playing. Debussy was by far my favorite! I hope you play "Afternoon of a faun" one day! Thank you for gifting our ears with your playing! Warmly, Marcus
Easily my favorite composition by Chopin. There's just this feeling I get when listening to this piece that just convinces me that everything will be fine. I love it.
I know, usually I tend to go to Lisitsa's versions or non-blocky one's but I actually really enjoy this one because the other one's seem to shadow the melody
I have listened to a lot of piano interpreters so far and the way I found the way you perform them is the most tasteful. Thank you! I enjoy listening to Chopin's compositions performed by your hands.
My favourite piano piece of all time and this is the best version I've ever herd. It's the video that made me fall in love with your channel. Thank you.
Paris Vieux Wayyy harder, nah, slightly harder? Agree. Winter Wind has fast, extremely difficult runs in both hands, the right hand has to switch between the secondary melody and a chromatic scale every other note. The left hand plays the melody, the gaps between the notes in the runs and the sheer relentless of the piece is what makes it so difficult. But La Campanella may not have as much fast runs, but it still has other difficulties. It is also a piece that has huge endurance issues. It has more difficult and more diverse techniques. It requires a mastery of jumps, ever if they’re in both hands and opposite directions, and trills, with even the fingers 4 and 5. It also require you to be able to trill while a melody in the same hand. And the end... It requires really good octaves and the ability to play chords at virtuosic speeds. You’re right La Campanella is harder, but not by much.
Jackson McAvoy I don’t think the Henle scale is very accurate, it gives this and Minute Waltz a 6. But the example piece for 6 is Nocturne Op27 no1, the middle section of that piece is technically much harder then this, and probably around the same musically. There is way too much of a gap between the difficulty of pieces with the same level, it needs like 4 to 5 more levels to actually be useful.
Cuando conocí la música de Chopin pensé que cuando sintiera que no vale la pena vivir, esta música me recordaría lo bella que es la vida y la esperanza de que todo iba a estar mejor después, y aquí estoy ahora.
chopin is my favorite composer for piano because in my mind he has a finger in so many genres. some of his melodies sound baroque with the mathmaetical tendencies, but play his pieces to a metronome like you might play Bach seems sooooo wrong. he feels like a predecessor to jazz with all his chromaticism and unique chords and his predictable structures and incredible melodies. cant say enough about that guy. he was a true artist.
@@nabiiii there’s a chocolate candy that’s called “nuts” in Russia and maybe some else countries and there’s also a Russian streamer “papich” who really likes that candy and videos/memes with him often have this piece in the background. That person meant enjoyment for the candy “nuts”
Sa me rappelle ma cher et tendre Pologne quand j’ai vue le film the pianist à la télévision polonaise en 2005 ! Everything about Chopin is just amazing and awesome like a blooming flowers! Greetings from France 🇫🇷

Just listened to this after my break up and somehow the music spoke... the mood was set right and it just became relatable to me as if Chopin was feeling the same as i was
Well, before Chopin died (in 1849) his girlfriend broke up with him years earlier (in 1836), and when he was dying he must've felt some regret and sadness that you have been feeling. Stay strong, my friend!
Aseem Pawaskar Stay strong my friend! And keep playing those feelings, believe me it makes the piece much more interesting and heart touching.
Thanks guys but I think I'm getting closure now
I really love this piece - one of my favourite from Chopin actually.. but please, I _beg_ of you Rousseau... *WE NEED SOME TCHAIKOVSKY!*
Absolutely agree!
Yaahssss
🖤🖤
And Mozart
@@phillip6933 YES we need him too
What i wouldn't give to hear chopin himself play this ❤️
I went to his Polish boyhood home near Warsaw about 15 years ago with my Canadian husband , who plays piano and told me he started to play after he heard Chopins' famous Fantasy Impromptu on the radio when he was 15 years old ... in 1965!! Unfortunately the place was locked up as they were doing renovations. I am Polish and actually had a chance to go into the home in high school and they have (at the time) a plaster cast of Chopins hands. I noticed that the space between the fingers was (abnormally) wide. Maybe that is why he could compose some of the works the way they were written.. difficult for anyone.
well you can do it, and you don't need to give anything
@@Araconox For the space between Chopin's fingers it was known that Liszt, him, and others as well cutted the little skin between the fingers to do uncommon chords more easily. I know it's yucky xD and I would never do it.
I believe he will be resurrected
0:46 *Did you also notice that he played 2 notes with 1 finger? (With this left hand)*
Thats completly normal 😅
The second part of Tico tico no fubá is an example of that
i think Rousseau is the best pianist out of all the piano youtube channels
Chopin will always be one of my favourite pianists. This is a masterpiece
this is my favorite Chopin piece for the piano ... gives me the goosebumps and I practically cry when I hear it
My favorite Chopin's composition. Can't get enough.
The way his right hand just glides across those notes. Absolutely incredible!
This is how I would describe "homesickness", just beautiful, melancholic melody. Great job as always, Rousseau!
Chopin*
It's unbelievable how relaxing and beautiful this piece is.
I like ur name sussy imposter. Love the song tho. ❤
Such an amazing underrated channel. You should have above 10M for the hard work you put into this
Cant believe people on the internet have guts to critique this guy on the piano.. thats the highest lvl of chopin waltz ive heard
This piece is not that long when you think about it because there are just 3 parts repeated Part A is 0:05 Part B is 0:56 Part C is 1:27 And the pattern is A,B,C,B,A,B
This is amazing Rousseau. Keep up the good work you bring smiles to everyone's faces 😍
It's so melancholic and beautiful.. seems as if it was written for a couple having their last dance, knowing they wouldn't be together anymore, but perhaps wanting to be.. it's sad and so beautiful. You can recall all the romantic and beautiful moments, while thinking about the need to leave... It's touching
My sister would always put this song to sleep, just since now i remembered it and noticed how beautiful it is. Now after lots of practice I’m finally able to play this piece. Thank you for your amazing playing ❤
In my eyes, that’s the most beautiful Chopin’s piece, what a wonderful present for my birthday ! Thank you so much Rousseau for the emotion that you offered me throughout this masterpiece !
Even chopin didnt know this part!
@Thomas No, they're not wrong notes. Please play the piece for yourself lol. Where are the wrong notes???
The E and the G# are put together so its not the wrong notes
-Mr. Ice
Tyribinal turning black keys into white keys heh
@@embracethenight9060 there differences cuz there are a lot of versions
If there is one song that reminds me of my eldest brother, this is it. He played this piece every single time he came home to visit from the UK. He passed away at 37 this past November. I hope to play this one day as well as he did.
My deepest condolences about your brother. May his spirit continue to flow through you and his memory hold fast in your heart as you listen to the music he would play for you. ❤❤❤
As one of the piano pieces featured in The Hogwarts Legacy video game, this one struck me the most and got me to think whether I should take up piano lessons again - I took lessons when i was a kid and then off-and-on again as an adult. Chopin's music is one of a kind (to me & in a good way). 😊
Heroic polonaise next pls
hell yes, heroic polonaise > hr2
Iqbalmaulana you crazy? That piece is really hard
Iqbalmaulana but then you can’t underestimate Rousseau
Honestly please, this needs to be too comment
Yesssssß
This is one of my favorite Chopin piece, thank you
My mom’s favorite waltz.. my mom left us yesterday. She’s gone from our sight but never from our hearts
I just adore the piece that you played. When others play it, they just can't feel what they are playing, it seems just some notes to them. But it has a unique something that makes you feel lonely and desperate (
i love when you perform the classical pieces, they’re so enriching and lovely
This is my favorite waltz ❤️
Agreed.
Playing this for my piano recital and its really fun!
Connor Huh same
Not Dalu Same for me
Supongo que nadie comprenderá esto porque está en español o porque sea difícil de entender. Pero debo dejar plantadas mis emociones en algún sitio y eso es lo que estoy haciendo. El piano y la música ha sido lo que me ha motivado a lo largo de los malos tiempos que han pasado en mi corta (pero algo dura) vida. No soy quien para juzgar, vivo muy bien en comparación a otra gente, pero no quiero comparar, tan solo quiero dejar todo de lado y pensar: ah, ¡qué bella es la vida!
Pero este sentimiento no ha aparecido en mi en mucho tiempo, y cuando lo hace, son por cortos periodos. Eso no importa, porque la música existe y es gracias a ella y Dios por lo que sigo agradecida con la vida, y aún así no puedo vivirla al máximo, por el miedo o la imposibilidad, las tantas cosas que tengo acumuladas, las que quiero terminar de una sola vez. Pero ¿qué es esta necesidad humana a la que tanto nos acercamos, sino una distracción de la realidad? El arte se emplea para una sola cosa, y esa es la representación de algo. Y por más abstracta que sea la idea, siempre va a estar vinculada a un término humano o realista, que represente el sentimiento o la causa.
Como persona, estoy teniendo por mi vida, por mi futuro, me preocupo. Pero eso ya lo sabíamos.
En la ciudad nublada de Lima, Perú, las cosas se vuelven pesadas, con el contexto de esta pandemia, peor. Y quiero mantener esa fe de saber que alguien más pasa por lo mismo que yo.
Con miedo, y mucho temor, quiero acercarme a ella, la música, majestuosa que hace que la vida sea algo que se disfrute.
He estudiado piano por los últimos cinco años. Desafortunadamente ha ocurrido un problema y no puedo tocarlo como antes, ¡oh, qué maldad! Sí, pero no quedaba otra opción. Si no puedo rendirme, no me queda otra opción que seguir luchando. Porque es doloroso, y es duro, y porquela vida va a continuar siendo de esa forma y no podré hacer nada para cambiar lo que tiene planeado. Y, aunque no lo comprenda, debo seguir en pie. Por más que no quiera, o que no pueda, y aunque duela hasta el punto de arder, si sigo así, puede que llegue a encontrar una respuesta.
Muchas gracias, Frédéric. Por ser una de mis más grandes motivaciones, ha sido todo un placer poder interpretar algunas de tus piezas, ojalá pronto nos volvamos a encontrar en ese lugar tan raro que es la música.
ya
Me siento mal de tus perdidas y dolencias, espero que todo este mejor para ti ahora!!
@@voshlemlem Hola, gracias por tomarte el tiempo de leer mi comentario. Te cuento que he vuelto a tocar el piano con muchas ganas. Sigo teniendo muchos problemas, claro, pero al menos puedo poner mi frustración aparte. Un saludo desde Perú. Gracias
Tu vida, esas vivencias que en ocasiones parecen intransferibles, en este maravilloso relato que hiciste, me resultó tan cercano, como entrañable; estamos vivos, tememos por mucho, no obstante Chopin nos acercó e hizo el milagro, todo seguirá su curso y en tiempos en el que solo seamos un recuerdo y aún, ni siquiera eso, estaremos en Frédéric escuchando al Padre.
I am 79 and still remember when I was 10 year old listening Chopin biography from an old radio because at that time in my country the tv was not arrived yet. At that age I was not able to understand why they called his lover George Sand.. but I was hipnotizad by his music. Now I live in USA and thank God to RUclips can listen and listen to Chopin , Verdi, Beethoven and all the classical pieces. This music is from heaven.
im so happy for you :(
Watch the movie "Impromptu" if you don't understand why they called Chopin's lover George Sand
This was my first Chopin piece ever given to learn when I was a child🥰 Now I want to arrange it for violin & piano for myself since I've grown up to become a violinist🎼🎻🎵💕💕💕
That’s good
@@laubenedicta194 hi lau :) 😇
I just finished my RCM lvl 9 exam four days ago, and this was part of my repertoire. The editing is so cool!
This waltz tells a sad story of chopins life, because he composed it in his last years. In this time he was very sick and he morphed his emotion into music.
Sorry for the horrible english, i am from austria (:
I love your f1 circuit
Franz Liszt Yeah, The RB Ring has given us many great races. Austria 2020 was the second best race of the season after Monza 2020
That was perfect grammar dude!
You didn't do so bad
@@simonboyes2550 aw thank you :)
Whenever I hear classical piano pieces in this key and style, and picture a beautiful sunset or a beautiful day in nature, my soul goes heavenward. It's a healing sound for me. Blessings to all!
Cant live without classical masterpieces. So beautiful, thank you Rousseau
I absolutely love this piece and it's one of my favourites from Chopin. Just last week I have thought: "Will Rousseau play it at some time?". So I am even more happy because of the video. I think you did a great job and it is very beautiful performance, well done!
Would love to see you play "Ständchen" from Schwanengesang (D. 957)
What a long name
@Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin hahahaha
@Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin OMG I CANT BELIEVE THIS IM A HUGE FAN NOTICE ME CHOPIN-SAN PLEASEEE
@Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin thank you master
Ah yes
I have heard this song a lot and when I remember my lover I really do miss him when I'm listening to this in a same time. It makes me sad.
I remember all the good times when I've been with him😄
Such a joy Rousseau!
Thank you.
5 or 6 years ago I stopped takimg piano lessons while I was learning thos somg but never finished it. I just played casually for a few years now I am finally learning this again and finishing it. This is a great help as my accentuation and finger placement has really suffered over the years. Thank you!
This piece gives me goosebumps.
I've always ignored this piece but when I truly listened to it. I fell in love with it and now it's my favorite one that even serenade can't compare. Guess I'm on that full cursed love phase.
One of my favorite pieces to play of all time. I still play this song after learning as a kid 25+ years ago. The melody is so sad and beautiful.
I’ve been playing piano for 7 years (I’m 12 years old) and when I saw this piece assigned to me by my piano teacher, I never thought I could play it, because of the key signature 😅. I’m still not very good at it, but I’ve come a long way! PRACTICE LIKE THIS GUY RIGHT HERE. He plays very well :>
I'm playing it for my piano teacher as well for a graded exam (also 7 years of playing!), but I chose it, and I'm beginning to think I made the wrong decision...This near all-sharp key after Claire de lune, which had nearly all flats. Plus the accidentals...Haha :')
Good luck; have you finished it yet?
@@roxiethecockapoo1138 yep, I finished it! Wasn’t as hard as I thought lol
Chopin Waltz? That's too easy.
(Only few will get what I'm saying)
Edit: so much for "few"😂

*If I can get it slowly, I can get it quickly*
*you are lucky to hear that, his improvisations was brilliant*
I've stumbled upon this masterpiece of channel about a month ago. What drew me to you is your very concerted presentations on all of your pieces. You're very determined, adaptable, and masterful at playing. Debussy was by far my favorite! I hope you play "Afternoon of a faun" one day! Thank you for gifting our ears with your playing!
Warmly,
Marcus
Easily my favorite composition by Chopin. There's just this feeling I get when listening to this piece that just convinces me that everything will be fine. I love it.
I just started learning this today, wish me luck
Good luck!
Hello, how's it going?
Nice, it’s a fun piece to play.
@@tallest_wookie1842 It really wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be, but it is pretty fun though!
@@beckysberries4441 how skilled shoud i be to start it? Im quite new to the piano
This is my favorite recording of this piece on youtube. The interpretation is so smooth and linear
i really like the one tiffany poon uploaded, she's amazing
I know, usually I tend to go to Lisitsa's versions or non-blocky one's but I actually really enjoy this one because the other one's seem to shadow the melody
The best interpretation ever of this waltz. ❤️❤️❤️ it’s so relaxing. Thank you!
*Listening to your music is like taking a journey to another world.*
ah, one of my first classical pieces. truly beautiful. chopin is definitely one of my favorite composers
I'm speechless of how relaxed his hands seems!! 😱
This is probably my favorite piece to play
I have listened to a lot of piano interpreters so far and the way I found the way you perform them is the most tasteful. Thank you! I enjoy listening to Chopin's compositions performed by your hands.
My favourite piano piece of all time and this is the best version I've ever herd. It's the video that made me fall in love with your channel. Thank you.
Ok, I like this version.

*People say Waltz is easy*
I just smile at them like a serial killer so that they won't speak nonsense to me ever again
That is so true and then one guy said to me that winter wind is harder than la campanella
@Jacob Marvets but they both give u hand cramps
I'd say the technique in this piece is quite simple, but the musicality gives it that extra point on the Henle scale.
Paris Vieux Wayyy harder, nah, slightly harder? Agree. Winter Wind has fast, extremely difficult runs in both hands, the right hand has to switch between the secondary melody and a chromatic scale every other note. The left hand plays the melody, the gaps between the notes in the runs and the sheer relentless of the piece is what makes it so difficult. But La Campanella may not have as much fast runs, but it still has other difficulties. It is also a piece that has huge endurance issues. It has more difficult and more diverse techniques. It requires a mastery of jumps, ever if they’re in both hands and opposite directions, and trills, with even the fingers 4 and 5. It also require you to be able to trill while a melody in the same hand. And the end... It requires really good octaves and the ability to play chords at virtuosic speeds. You’re right La Campanella is harder, but not by much.
Jackson McAvoy I don’t think the Henle scale is very accurate, it gives this and Minute Waltz a 6. But the example piece for 6 is Nocturne Op27 no1, the middle section of that piece is technically much harder then this, and probably around the same musically. There is way too much of a gap between the difficulty of pieces with the same level, it needs like 4 to 5 more levels to actually be useful.
Cuando conocí la música de Chopin pensé que cuando sintiera que no vale la pena vivir, esta música me recordaría lo bella que es la vida y la esperanza de que todo iba a estar mejor después, y aquí estoy ahora.

Nice one👌🏼
wow a coder didnt know coders also listen to classical music
"who knew the feeling of loneliness and longing could be so beautiful?" who indeed Rousseau. Thank you for this piece ~ (:
0:10 many use to rush that part but you played gently and How I use to enjoy the piece :)
Yeah, I often hear people rush those notes and it sounds a little muddy.
This is why I like Rousseau
I like your videos because you never rush the music to show off. Very very nice, i've been listening to your channel for years now.
chopin is my favorite composer for piano because in my mind he has a finger in so many genres. some of his melodies sound baroque with the mathmaetical tendencies, but play his pieces to a metronome like you might play Bach seems sooooo wrong. he feels like a predecessor to jazz with all his chromaticism and unique chords and his predictable structures and incredible melodies. cant say enough about that guy. he was a true artist.

Oh my goodness! I have been waiting for this a lot!!!
*THANKYOU SO MUCH ROUSSEAU!!!! SIMPLY LOVE IT*

You should do a Q/A, like what piano do you use, where you are from, favourite composer, etc....
his fav composer is chopin probably
i think he did a q/a in like his community posts or smth
Chopin's pieces are the most beautiful, emotional, and the best piece. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊❤❤❤
