    Chopin's 1st Ballade. One of the most beautiful and substantial works in the entire solo piano repertoire, and the piece of his most dearest to me. Although a bit of craziness would have been fun (and... is coming...), hitting 1M subscribers after only starting my channel 10 months ago is still so hard to believe, and the piece closest to my heart - dedicated to you as a token of gratitude - was only piece I felt fit to celebrate the 1M milestone. Thank you for 1M ♥

    Came here after watching Your Lie in April.
    Years before watching the show and even knowing of it's existence this was already my favourite Chopin piece and one of my favourite pieces of music in general.
    I am probably in the minority for this because I knew about the piece before knowing about the anime and I think that most people who know both (And watched the show) got to know about this amazing piece from there.
    It definitely now has these new added memories with it that I will always think about when listening to it.
    Wonderful piece used in a wonderful show.

But I must admit that I am here because of Yuzuru Hanyu and his otherworldly interpretation of this piece at the 2018 Winter Olympics. It was truly incredible how he flowed within the music and expressed himself, and I definitely hope that more people will come to know about him so that they can share in the joy of watching him perform. It's a truly life changing experience.

The part at 7:48 must be the most beautiful and epic part I've heard on piano, very complex and with plenty of notes which match perfectly with each other.

      @@duongnguyenngoc9160 The same way you would cringe at someone who would critic classical music through a pop musical framework (and rightfully so), you should also cringe at people criticising pop and rap music through a classical musical framework. It's just that different criterias are required for rap music to be good, so you can't OBJECTIVELY say that there cannot be any rap and pop masterpieces, because the criterias required for these songs to be good are simply different, and you shouldn't apply your classical framework to evaluate any pop or rap songs, the same way you wouldn't criticize classical music for not having any lyrics or something along those lines... There are rap songs that are masterpieces, inside of the rap "sphere", the same way there are classical masterpieces inside of the classical "sphere", but you can't evaluate one genre based on the "sphere" of another, music just doesn't work that way.

    Hey Rousseau, I watched every of your classical pieces so many times cause it gives me chills.
    I'm 19 years old and I played piano for 8 straight years till I stopped at the age of 13 because I just didnt have the motivation to do so and never really practised.
    I did win contests playing as a duo with my best mate playing cello so it was basicly a hobby, but not really something I truly truly loved.
    (Outside of the contest phase in my life I only practised like 15 minutes a day..)
    Now, 5 years later YOU singlehandingly brought back my passion for piano and I'm playing more than ever.
    My favourite piece is Un Sospiro (no, I can't play it yet), which is above my level, but I finished Arabesque now and I'm hoping to be able to play Claire de Lune in a few months (even though the minute 2:00 part looks a lot harder..)
    Thank you so much for providing the sheet music for FREE and the videos are helping me so much in terms of finger movement and double checking the notes I read from the sheet.
    You deserve every single sub, I hope you're soon going to be able to make a living from youtube, if not already.
    Greetings from Germany!!

    Such a lonely ballade, filled with joy and sorrow, love and hatred, happiness and despair. Chopin composed this early in his career, what the hell do you have to go through to create something of this magnitude? Perhaps he had depression, he was sickly throughout his life, and was paraded around Europe as a prodigy, hard with his shyness. There are things we’ll never know about this man, all we have is his music and we cry with him. He was a poet of the keys, and his works live on as reflecting humanity in its most vulnerable. We are just sacks of love and sorrow, reverie and pain. We were born to survive, not to live, and he portrays that feeling of pitiful anger, loneliness, and longing in this ballade. It’s his Magnus Opus, it’s Chopin composed in keys.

    I can't stop crying when i hear this piece. It's like Chopin poured EVERYTHING into this piece. Each of his pieces you can find a singular emotion, but this one, it's too much to bare. It's like he summed his entire life into this piece. His Anger, his frustration, his joy, and what little happiness he could find and the validation he sought for not being able t fight for his home country. Everything is in this piece, the culmination of his life, and it makes me cry experiencing it al at once.

    I listened to a lot of classical music when I has small. My parents really liked classical music. but when they got divorced I barely heard it anymore.
    then one day for no particular reason I randomly decide to listen to some classical music. and I came across this piece. I was instantly blown back and amazed, I had never enjoyed music so much. and now classical music is my favourite! this will always hold a special space in my heart. :)

    This is my favorite piece by Chopin as well.
    Such emotion.
    I first heard it in the pianist, a movie about the holocaust.
    Wonderful movie if you haven’t seen it.
    Beautifully executed man.

    Thank you Chopin for not letting your feelings die silently but with the touch of the piano keys.

      I wish In the movie “The Pianist”, they played 4:49 although it might’ve not been appropriate to the depressing mood during that scene.

      Yeah, he didn't say that. Contrary to what fans of classical music like to pretend, most people are perfectly capable of "understanding" and appreciating it. Yeah, it's fun to latch onto classical music as the thing that makes you "smarter" than the "hOrDeS oF sHeEpLe," but at the end of the day, everyone's tastes are equally valid and, let's face it, everyone else isn't stupid - you're just a pretentious dickhead.

      Because the accidental "noises" are unique and also part of a concert. Furthermore no idea why it's made, but it's pretty interesting if you're up for it :)
