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 ♥
You Tricked us:< but still This piece is beautiful
Congratulations!
Rousseau Wheres ma hungarian rhapsody dear
Thanks for always playing what YOU want and not succumbing to the Hungarian fanboys in the comments
Sure that was the greatest troll you ever pulled on us....
But that was just a beautiful piece there!!

No

@@sukisupremacy of course what
Chopin died at 39, imagine what he could’ve compose if he would’ve lived a longer life.
39? So all of those pieces were composed before the age of 39? That’s amazing
He probably could compose more music
@@Asaaldridge22 No way :0
Jennifer Mai
Not that surprising, people like Liszt, Chopin, Beethoven all the greats composed great pieces at young ages... and medical stuff wasn’t the best back then so not that surprising he died as well
@@jennifermai1589 In fact he composed this ballade at the age of 21

The hardest part about learning this piece is trying not to cry while listening , change my mind.
Idk man, that coda is pretty insane.
its a piece not song
thx for correction@@primera04
there’s some days where you get the emotion perfectly and you feel like you gotta tone it down a bit or your parents are gonna cry.
The hardest thing about this piece is learning it.
Beethoven ALWAYS SOUND LIKE he's GOING TO PUSH SOMEONE OFF A CLIFF CHOPIN ALWAYS SOUNDS LIKE he is the one being pushed

This must be my favorite piece of all time. The fact that Chopin composed this masterpiece at 21 years old is absolutely unbelievable. 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. Truly a magnificent piece, congrats to Rousseau for playing it so well. I hope I'll be able to do the same in a couple of years.
You certainly will! I've been working on this piece for the last 3 months, (with a minor pause as my electric piano was fried in a storm 2 weeks ago), and its not an easy piece by any means however, as you progress it gradually becomes easier! the notes kind of just make sense when you really get into it! It's really just memorizing all of the jumps.
@@zachreel6466 have you finished it?
agree, also it's his one of the hardest codas. hope I'll be able to learn it too in couple of months))
Totally agree!
@@chyka-937how’s the progress going?
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.
same here hahah
Same 😢
Bro I dont even know the show to beggin with
Jesus Christ Loves you all so much that HE died and suffered for you all on the Cross to save us all from the punishments of eternal Death and the sins that we have all committed.And if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and put your entire Faith and life into HIS hands, then you will be saved❤, May GODs Grace Love, Peace, and Goodness be with you All Amen❤🙏
@@JisK7I'm going to touch you.

Same thing...
I've finally been able to play this memorized, and I just performed it at a charity concert at school today :D

how much years of piano did it take you to reach this level?
@@davideciabuschi9053Ill tell you, if you practice for about 3 hours a day (missing some days every now and then) but MINIMUM 50 minutes a day and max 7 hours, it will probably only take you about 3 years to get to the level able to play this piece, and then 4-6 months to actually learn the whole thing and master it.

I've listened to a lot of music but that recapitulation of the second theme from 4:48 to 5:10 is truly one of the most beautiful and simultaneously dramatic passages in all of music.

I know right? When I started to learn this piece, I was like "Alright I could work with this. It may be a little difficult but I can manage right?", and then I saw the Waltz section of the piece and the Coda section. This piece is coming along with a lot of surprises and I love every bit of it

Rousseau la campanella 2 confirmed
you're here because:
- the pianist is freaking great
- the amazing composer
- kaori's last farewell to kousei
- yuzuru's breath-taking skate to this wonderful piece
The pianist is amazing, as you said. I can feel the hard work and dedication that was put into this masterpiece, and I'm also truly grateful to Chopin for giving us this beautiful composition. 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.
E - all of the above.

One of the reasons I love Your Lie in April is because I never watched the anime out of respect. I read the manga and was able to hear the pieces in a way and I think that having said pieces with an anime would not make justice to the journy Kaori and Kosei had

@@pianistofmusic290 watch your lie in april
I didn’t need my heart anyways-
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.
Beautiful and thoughtful interpretation, thanks for sharing this!
5:38 to 5:48 is such an amazing part for 10 seconds
One of my friends heard this and said:" What's this? A circus song?"
Long story short, he's not my friend anymore.
Yeah! I felt that, this piece is really sad and deep but i also love it so much. If my friend said like that to me, maybe i would slap into his face 😂
Only men of classical understand the beauty of this piece
@@remydovizioso5615 and women.
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.

This is my favourite piece so I agree.
@Ali Bavafa "masterpiece" means the most beautiful piece that an artist has ever made, the "master" of his pieces, so rap and pop songs could easily have many masterpieces.
@@h........................... no
@@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.
Yeah listen to evgeny kissin play it it’s way better
I found out about this piece through the 2002 film titled "The Pianist" It is about a Jewish pianist named Władysław Szpilman surviving during Germany's invasion of Poland at the start of WWII. He plays this piece near the end of the film for a German officer who found his hiding place. The officer let him live after hearing him play such a beautiful piece of music. It is one of my favorite movies of all time so this piece is very near and dear to my heart.
After 1000 years from now I’m sure people will still listen to Chopin’s music & they will never forget Chopin’s Name.
Rousseau, you deserve an enormous congratulations for this achievement. Watching you grow online has been an amazing inspiration to aim for the same! What you do is truly incredible. The 1st ballade is one of my favourite piano pieces too, so I'm doubly happy to see you perform it! Here's to the next million! (we expect it to be soon...)

Chopin's music just hits differently, in the sense of the way it is able to emulate emotions and use them to tell a story, not a one that is made of words, but of pure emotions. Rousseau has become my favorite pianist because he is a storyteller that uses music.
Can't imagine that Chopin's song were use to play with Arima Kousie, and this was the last piano music that Arima Kousie use to perform and before Arima Kousie finish his performance, Kaori appeared with her violin and then plays with Arima before she pass away.
what a sad scene it was, I was hoping that it could be a happy ending but it's not, so it's true that when a pianist success little by little and after that, they will eventually lose something or someone that is precious to there life.
I'm a pianist and I never experience like this before but I've been going through a lot of sadness and pain just to play the piano. I'm a 15 years old pianist and I will be 16 soon.
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.
his sign was fishes. of course he was depressed. he got born that way, he died that way. along the road, for a fish (pisces 😆) born there is much pain. with a little bit if luck one gets a talent. that offers some escape at times. but the majority of time is pain and dispair

Why don't you play spaghetti instead?
mood.
None of y’all get the reference it’s from the movie the pianist🤦
You did it, you utter maniac!
I subscribed to Rousseau months ago when you recommended him on one of your video Atin, almost when he started his channel 😄
true true
Plot twist : AtinPiano is Rousseau 😅
@@Neo_wow Then Rousseau/AtinPiano watched way too much "Split" 😅
@@clawf.3596 I really hope Rousseau will show himself
Im not a pianist, not a virtuoso... just a headbanger, a Brazilian heavy metal vocalist... and I love classical music and this is sooooooooo perfect, touching! thanx so much for this beautiful piece of work!
the part from 3:48 is so beautiful. it's calmingly positive but sad at the same time
2:19 is the best thing I’ve ever heard and I’m sure that only Chopin could have composed it.
Wdym?
It’s the best motif I’ve heard from Chopin, and my most favorite one
So true! This is my favorite part of the ballade
When I first heard it I though I was listening to some modern composition at that point. It sounds ahead of its time.
Oh yeah that is a really Beautiful part one of my favorite parts~ ^^
4:48 This is definitely my favorite part of the piece. The beauty and feelings that Chopin's music transmits is incredible. I love him.
Its my favorite part too. Everyone else seems to favor the speed at around the 7 min mark but i just love this part the most
Same! I was looking for someone to say this.
Yep my fave too
i agree
My favorite too
Im learning piano and I’m going to start grade 5 soon. You have always been an inspiration of mine and I thank you.
Am I the only one who sees the hidden B letters while Rousseau plays the piece? Especially at 2:28
It's incredible.
The part 7:48 - 8:24 gives me goosebumps everytime...
What a marvelous final moment in the piece, i also get chills everytime. Especiallt after seing Your Lie In April. Pure genius and emotions running wild
Yesss
Check out kassias one, it has better emotions
4:47-5:04
@@user-tq8cp3qs1r yeah her ballade no 1 is probably my favourite
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!!

For me this is the best piece Chopin composed and how I would love to be able to play it.

This is literally my favorite piece from Chopin, thank you for blessing us with this masterpiece of a video, once again.
i'm such a big fan of yours, knowing that you like classical music warms my heart
i see you are a *man* of culture as well
Veo que eres una mujer de cultura =)
Camila Cuevas have you heard Ballade No. 4? So freaking hard, but so beautiful 😍
This is figuratively my favorite piece from Chopin.
Nothing is more sorrowful, heartbroken and lonely than Chopin's first Ballade. Beautiful interpretation.
thats fact!
Liebestraum no. 3? Is certainly more romantic and maybe less broken, although the final is also sorrowful, even so I like the love dream
@@LordCorvusfor me ballade no 1 leaves you with a melancholic feeling and a feeling of being alone while liebestraum leaves you a hopeful feeling

*Chopin - Sonata No.2 in Bb minor:Funeral march had left the chat*
This remembers me the movie "The Pianist", where Splitzman fights for his life playing this piece to the german soldier. Such an epic moment!
Will I have any trouble learning this. Ive just started this piece. For more context: Previously hard pieces I have learned are: Rondo Alla Turca and Chopin Nocturne in C sharp minor
sorry to break it to u but those 2 are not hard pieces, this piece took me around 8 months and i have played a lot of stuff, it is like much harder than nocturne and mozarts rondo even put together, but hey i dont wanna say u cant do it, give it ur best i believe in u (didnt try to be mean just gave a heads up because compared to those 2 that you called hard are nothing compared to ballade no 4 and no 1)
At 4:48
My brain : imagine the violin sound
Me : cry
