Outro: Debussy - Clair de Lune
Hello, I'm Rousseau, I make piano covers of classical and pop songs with a reactive visualizer. New videos every Monday!

A lot of you have been asking for more Debussy, so here is Arabesque No. 1! I want to thank everyone for their support recently, we just hit 1,000,000 channel views and are approaching 20k subs. Next week is another pop cover, an arrangement of Post Malone's 'I Fall Apart', what would you like to hear me perform?
Rousseau Maybe Star Trek - Voyager Theme
Debussy rêverie ? Ahaha i think its à nice choisir for you and us ^^
I would like to hear you perform Chopin's "Wrong Note". A beautiful and singular piece. Keep up the good work
I would like you to play the Gravity Falls theme song, pleaeeeeeaaase
Rachmaninoffs Etudes Tableaux Op33 No9 Is a very dramatic piece with a considerably hard left hand playing throughout the whole piece but definitely check it out and make a video on it if you want
"So is the melody in the left or in the right hand?"
"Yes."
Juli Fei yes’nt
Me too
For the polyrythmic sections you definitely want the right hand to shine through.
@ red coin, most of the stuff composed for the piano if going to have lots of left and right hand and if it doesn’t I would sound terrible with only treble and no bass
If you really wanna hear left or right hand melodies then chopin ballade 1 (also on the channel) has quite a few
this piece recalls a memory I've never had
Is there by any chance that we know each other?
@@pendekargondrong I do not think so, but hey, who knows
Same
a kind of Rêverie, but that doesn't look like anything to me
Same here. To me it feels like something wonderful you once had that you now lost and all you're left with is the memory. Its kind of sad and melancholic.
I always wonder what someone like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, etc. would think if they heard pieces like this. Guys like Debussy took the piano to such greater heights of expression over pure virtuosity.
I mean they mightve thought it sounded good but it breaks all their composing rules since during the classical and baroque period there were very strict rules composers followed, or the public would think the piece was weird and not normal
Ig they would criticize it. Idk why
@@hardikdua8123 I know why, it's because this type of writing was musical taboo in their era. Many of these chords, rhythms, melodies, would be all too foreign for their ears. It's like how older critics initially criticized the Beatles.
@@Hobie02425 exactly my thought but a bit well put✨
@@Hobie02425 eh, this being a very tonal and relatively conventional piece of his, I don’t think they would have received this nearly so poorly as you imagine. Most famous composers were hardly “conservative” types. They pushed boundaries. They were all ahead of their time in some aspect or another.
Almost 3 years ago, my mother passed away. I was only 12 but I still have so many memories from being with her. One of my memories include her playing this song. She was practically a pro when it came to her piano skill and this was one song she played often. I'm not that good with the piano but someday I'm going to master this song for her. Hopefully I'll be able to play this just as well as she could.
My deepest condolences, I understand how you feel as my mother was also very skilled with the piano and she too passed away when I was very young, she was my first and best teacher. I'm sure your mum is gazing down proudly at you from heaven as you're dedicating your time to learn this piece especially for her. God bless you🙏🏽
So sorry for your loss. Her memory lives on with you. You expressed that beautifully and I know she’s so proud of you everyday.
You would be able to... and then maybe when you meet her up there have a friendly competition
I'm so sorry for your loss. Hope you're well now. BTW it's a piece not a song.
hey, the channel Pianosecrets teaches classical pieces on piano for free, maybe try finding this one there?
It's refreshing to see this done at a slower tempo. SO many performances of this piece I feel are horribly rushed. This is one of my favourite renditions!
footballcoreano To each their own, I find this the perfect tempo.
This even feels a little too rushed in some places. They don't hold on the keys long enough before a release, which I feel should be gentler. In my head, it should feel as if the pianist doesn't want to let go, but is forced to continue the song. The notes have to intertwine together, rather than be pushed along.
Definitely Paul Barton's the very best.
You are goddamn right bro.
@@jessiezus6093 Beautifully explained
In my opinion Debussy is the greatest composer of his time. Every piece is so wonderful and calming in its way
same! I love his music!
Same here I love Debussy
He was famous all over his house!
@@georgemoney6893 did chopin and debussy live in the same period of time?
@@georgemoney6893 no right so please shut up
I used to be able to play this fluently. Then I let myself forget it. Now it’s one of the most regretful things I’ve ever done 😭
Never too late
It comes back quick. I went back to a couple Bach inventions I liked as a kid and it doesn't take long. I love to play this piece. The last arpeggios at the end from 4:12 forward in my mind is one of the most beautiful resolutions / endings to any classical piano piece ever.
same but be aware, its not that hard. once your fingers played the song its like muscle memory. very easy to learn again. like 10 percent of the initial effort
Wow that’s exactly what happened to me
Same but for different pieces. Don’t regret, just learn again. Your brain remembers more than you think. As well as your hands.
Like with most things, fitness, music, etc. it’s never too late to get back into where you left off. Until it is. Don’t live life with regrets, you have the power to never have a regret any longer. Use it!
I can't believe Debussy put his whole Debussy into this Masterpiece!
Bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ayo?

rousseau should play "Play This!". He'll grow like 30 hands eventually
The last arpeggios at the end from 4:12 forward in my mind are one of the most beautiful resolutions / endings to any classical piano piece ever.
My thoughts exactly. I’m no expert but I’ve always had a natural skill at piano by watching videos. And my entire life of any song I’ve ever heard, this is my all time favorite solo piano piece of all. Also enjoy chilly Gonzales a lot(when it’s just piano)
I think I understand what Debussy was trying to convey. Life is intrinsically beautiful. And the utter serenity of this piece from start to finish is trying to convey that. I think of this piece as an opportunity to take a moment to stop thinking, worrying, planning, dreaming, wishing, etc and see the way life is and just bask in its utter beauty.
I soooo agree . Effortlessly it all comes to a halt.
Well said👍
1:38 everytime "Clair de lune" ends in rousseau

Yeah.
👌👌
that’s my favorite part tehe. i play it over and over and never get bored of it😆
Too bad I’ll never be able to play it because of p o l y r h y t h m
@@patrickgd7583 i’m learning it rn, and i can easily play it somewhat slow but faster is just such trial n arrow to get it right. but it’s def doable
For those who are having trouble with the syncopation I recommend drawing lines between the left and right hand signs to show which ones should be played together and which ones should be played in between. It really helped me to get it right ;)
Yeah that's a really good idea
It's called polyrhythm btw
And that's what I did
Polyrhythm is quite hard lmao
I did this too, and it led to me staggering the right hand instead of letting it flow. I recommend practicing your scales with the polyrhythm.
Left and right on 1, right on 3, left on 4, right on 6. Count by six’s
I don't usually comment but I played this a few minutes ago as the clock struck 12 being the first few seconds of me turning 18. Beforehand I was extremely nervous but as soon as I heard the main melody I began to smile uncontrollably I managed to convince myself that everything is going to be alright no matter what. Thank you Debussy for your gorgeous music and for anyone reading this I wish you all the best and success in whatever you pursue, Classical music is something special isn't it?
Man 18 is that age when things get real. But at the same time, you’re still given a lot of slack by society until about 20ish onwards. So I hope your transition into adulthood is easy & smooth.
As i was listening to the song i tried putting into words the emotions it made me feel, and "everything is going to be alright" also came up in my mind. its so wonderful how a melody whithout lyrics can light up the same feelings in different people. I also wish you the best
I finished learning this after 6 months yesterday. Just sat staring at my piano and bawling my eyes out. Can't believe I actually did it
Great job :)
Haha😂 good job!❤
U should learn Debussy reverie
I’m happy for u ‼️ congrats 👏
I’d love to see a video of you covering it!!
My dream is to play this one day
dreams dont come true if you dont try

@@izabelgonzalez-alvizures2042 Deep
I can't believe this piece was created in early 1900s. It's like a mellow/gospel jazz piece. Amazing - Debussy was clearly way ahead of his time.
1888
When listening to this piece while looking out in the stars, Debussy paints a picture in your mind to let us know that death, the thing we fear most, is just an illusion that keeps us away from what we want on this god forsaken space rock-to let us know that life is truly beautiful. Rousseau, thank you for reminding us of this message that Debussy sent us.

@@smolcat4573 bruh
I doubt it has to be that deep. In my opinion, it’s just a good song. Perhaps you have synesthesia?
I composed this better and harder than Claire de Lune
_stares angrily at Pour Le Piano Prelude_
@@hdqjafjagkanqncanagnan649 😂😂😂
O mito passando por aqui🤣😂
Claire de lunes Is harder tho man haha
You are not the real Claude Debussy he is french and it's Clair without an E
I can't believe it. 1 year ago I liked the comment stating "My dream is to play this one day". I dreamed of playing it, and about 5 months ago, I set out to learn it. I hadn't had lessons for almost 2 years (although I was practicing every day) and after 2 ish months, I finally learned it. I hope you guys can too.
Oh god..
how do u play the triplets to eighth notes at 0:19 i just can't do them
@@charlenecai_ Go to Piano secrets Arabesque piano tutorial. Its really good and I managed learn that part in around 2 days. Its very frustrating in the beginning to get the timing right, but dw u just have to play it slow at first then pick up speed.
@@charlenecai_ the fantasie impromptu by chopin has triplet quarter note + right hand eighth note combo as well. There are tons of really good tutorials on how to play that song. Now I haven't tried learning this one yet but the way I learned how to play fantasie was by playing the right hand normal, except for heavily accenting the notes that fell on 1 or 2 or 3 and 4. Then I would only play the pinky and thumb with my left hand. The pinky and thumb should hit at the same time as some of the right hand notes. So again left hand pinky then thumb, then fill in the right hand making sure you get those downbeats hitting at the same time.
Next heavily heavily heavily practice the triplets for a while. Then when you go back to playing just the thumb and pinky on down beats you'll feel your other fingers wanting to play their notes.
Next step: turn off brain, play both hands how they want to, and you need only pay attention to keeping the tempo even between both hands.
In fantasie, during the first 4 measure of combined play the thumbs of both hands are often the notes that play together on the downbeat, I paid close attention to make sure they hit together, otherwise I knew something was off.
I definitely would suggest too, if you are stuck, learn a different song that also has some similar aspects and you might find going back to the trouble song to be easier. I find I like learning new song much better than learning new drills just to work on improving that one trouble song. Example I had trouble with my left hand dragging in a few songs so I started practicing chopins prelude 24 no 3, er I think that's the right number. It is a "left hand study" and I have already found my left improving in other songs even though I can still on play op 24 no 3 at an abysmally slow tempo.
Hope this helps
@@thenuka9954 thank you will try it out!
There's this great quote about Shakespeare that I think is very applicable to Debussy, as well:
"The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good - in spite of all the people who say he is very good." - Robert Graves
This reminds me of during the pandemic when I used to sit in the front yard on a wooden bench with my mother, and we'd just watch the sun set in the pink sky together peacefully.

@@Jonathan-ou3jb thats what i was thinking
Lmao accurate
My favourite piano piece, it sounds just like the stream flowing and the clouds floating which brings relief and pleasure.
At school, a friend of mine and I went to a piano room to practice and he played this piece, I had chills it was so beautiful.
I practice Arabesque almost every day. This is so difficult. When I play it, I'm very tired. But I will never give up to play this song.
*!!!!WHAT A NICE SONG!!!!*
m4send Me Wow! Me too. I’ve been practicing this piece for a month now...
The 2 to 3 is killing me lol but doable
Piece*
Its a piece!
I was able to play it perfectly after 3 weeks to one month, its hard, but there are pieces that are much harder.
0:18 - 0:26 sounds so magical. feels like i'm reminiscing
more like 0:00-5:14 sounds so magical.
This song flows like a waterfall truely beautiful the complexities and intricacies, very emotional piece.

I swear, I’m going to learn this piece. I’ve been playing piano and taking piano lessons for 10 years, but I have never learned a piece by myself, alone, with just the sheets. I will play this one day.
Update : it was pretty easy it took me about 2 weeks to master it. Now I can play Liszt and ravel with no problem
Go for it, you can do it, I'm sure of that.
Give us an update! And if u havent finished it yet, we believe in ya!
wait i'm actually curious how do your piano lessons work? when i took lessons once a week, my teacher would assign me music, listen to me play it, and critique it. but the rest of the week in between classes i was on my own, reading the sheet music and learning and practicing so that i would be able to play it for my teacher the next class. pretty sure this is how all lessons work?
How did it go, Ed?
@@nothingisreal6816 well it took me about a month to master it
I never really cared about classical until I found this channel and now I'm tearing up. I love this song.

As a kid, my old keyboard had a function that was able to teach me how to play songs, and this was one of them. I remember practicing for so long trying to learn it. I only got down about a quarter of the song, but I would listen to it over and over again, I thought it was the most beautiful song... and to this day it gives me great childhood memories

that's nice actually.
i can't read sheet music currently, so i have to learn it either by ear, watch someone else play it, or look at a MIDI visualizer. do you by any chance remember the keyboard that had that function?
I ve heard dozens of Versions with a common factor: they are usually perfomed at a speed that makes it hard to enjoy. This one right here has the perfect pitch, rythm, AND timming. A true master-piece
Only the best from Rousseau.
Ah yes, timming!
Perfect pitch?!?!! This isn't the violin
Timing*
You should try listening to Paul Barton's version
Finally! After weeks of practice, I can play the
first polyrhythm
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha I feel thatt
Hahahah
Same-
T r y playing scales with the polyryhthm specifically e major scale. That's what I did to get the polyrythmns down easily. After that it's a matter of just practicing voicing and dynamics.
If debussy was alive right now I would have so many questions to ask him. Debussy has really inspired me to do what I want to do. Be a composer. I will strive to play like he once did.
makes me feel like I'm underwater, exploring something wonderful that only I've gotten the chance to truly explore.
First comment
The same!!!!!!
Why has nobody talked about 1:24 to 1:34? Those 10 seconds are the most magical moment in art.
Oooooo yeah that's the stuff man
You forgot 4:27. That's better.
That bit fucken kills me
It's beautiful
Biel, you're somebody; you talk about it! We're all too busy trying to figure out where all this water is coming from on our faces. You handle it!
I almost cry when hearing this song, its just so lovely
Every time I hear Debussy I think this man knew how to write our sleeping dreams into reality. I feel like I'm reliving dreams when I listen to him. This sense of confusion yet familiarity. I'm lost but I know where I am. I'm talking with people I never met but I know them. I've never heard this music before but it's so nostalgic. What a genius.
It wasn’t until internet got mainstream that found out what this piece was called and by whom. I used to hear it on A show called Star Hustler on PBS back in the 80s. They would play it at the very end. I thought It was very nice. It took me over 10 years to figure it out it was a classical piece by DeBussy.... I know it’s hard to believe. I’ve loved it ever since.
Remember to keep looking up!
Yes!
Greetings fellow stargazers!
me too
I’ve been feeling sad lately. Looking at you play and the colors has made me feel a sense of hope and calmness. Thank you.
I'm 7 months late, but no matter what I'm just a random dude from the internet, cheers.
:)
This is legit the only peice thats made me cry. And I have no clue why. But it felt amazing
darling_lime hope you’ve been feeling a lot more better, cheers.
ok
A lot of us have been feeling sad lately. Thank goodness for these moments of ethereal beauty.
been learning this piece for about three months now and i’m in the homestretch! very very difficult but all the hard work is worth it to produce such a beautiful piece of music.
1:14 that piano🔥
i mean thats the only thing that plays this whole piece so yeah

It's amazing how all of Debussy's music I've heard has the same feel to it. Some sort of serenity.
Watercolour beauty.
That's Debussy for you.😉
@@omamajohnpaul4215 I love the way the chords sound and notes left open sounding. I don't know all the technical names for piano but his music is so very rich sounding. I know much more for guitar or electric guitar so this is all new music to me. The melodies are so pretty they blow my mind. When you have been listening to a certain type of music for a long period of time you can miss out on far too much if you are not careful enough and accept there is vast oceans of sounds out there. I was lucky I was introduced to the very best music for popular music by my dad so I heard the Melodies from The Beatles and The Beach Boys who are really the best of popular music and now classical is a whole new chapter in my development for me and I really love Bach, Debussy and the more the better. Any other composers out there I haven't heard and/or understood yet I can't wait to hear. Just 12 notes and all this magic is like a miracle that humans can do this. I don't like Rap music though...it is just crap though...lol
@@MICKEYISLOWD So nice of you to share your story with me. I'm a pianist and an aspiring/upcoming composer and these legends have always been a major source of inspiration for me. I also LOVE musical theatre and Alan Menken is my biggest musical inspiration. ( Alan Menken is the man who composed some of Disney's most outstanding songs like Beauty and the best, a whole new world, Prince Ali, Part of your world etc.)
@@MICKEYISLOWD So I hope you enjoy your classical journey😊. Debussy was into the "impressionistic" music form and most of his works are on the intermediate level. If you're looking for some insane level of piano virtuousity, then you'll love Franz Liszt, Frederic Chopin and Charles Alkan. An insane piano- playing trio that were contemporaries in the 1800s.
What a phenomenal channel this is
Yes how good it was from the very start and how its only getting better and not to mention its been out for half a year i think and he almost reached 500k subcribers and the piano playing is top quality and the effects look good
no it’s not idiot (sarcasm)
Nice profile pic u got there I like it
What a phenomenal comment this is!
sure
I feel like Debussy truly accomplished a really beautifull consistency in this piece. I've noticed he only uses several note combinations only those that truly fit eachother in more situations other notes combined tent to do. I think because of this consistency of the same kind of smoothness throughout the whole piece he is able to fully get anyone really listening to this piece a relaxed mind. Especially in the silence as soon as the piece has been played.
This has got to be one of most beautiful piano pieces ever
3:59 One of the most sentimental melodies I've ever heard. :'')
ya
True
My favorite part of the whole piece!
you should listen to chopin etude op10 n3
There is way more sentimental
looks easy to play, but is actually quite hard once you start
@Cameron Stacy where? I honestly tripped up on the lining up on triplets and half notes
Dude the 3:2 timing on the first page is so frickin confusing.
Harraz Life ikr, but i got it down after lots of practice lol.
Not to mention tiring to play this
It aint look easy at all if your a real pianist
This piece always feels like I'm alive and actually I'm grateful for that.
My brother used to play this all the time when I was a kid. No matter what I was doing, I would always pause to listen. I don’t talk to my brother anymore, but this song, and others he used to play, remind me of childhood when our relationship was okay.
Dear Sam, Give it a try and you will be eventually, be able to master it
"Greetings, fellow Stargazers! Keep looking up!!!"
That's how I got turned on to this piece.
RIP Jack Horkheimer. Loved Star Hustler.
I actually took astronomy last winter semester and it made me think of Jack Horkheimer. He used to come on Saturday nights in between shows on our PBS station.
I was so upset when they changed the theme music :c
@@misterninetyseven2898 came on after Doctor Who where I lived. The perfect way to end a Saturday night.
I still don’t understand why this piece of music is so beautiful
If you understand a little bit about music, you can notice that it does not use semi tones, that means it is a major pentatonic scale; the most cheerful and beautiful of all the scales (in my opinion). I hope I facilitated your understanding
Pentatonic scales and no semi-tones = Practically no tension and a sweet and beautiful melody
the secret to making music beautiful is one word: dissonance
@@franceskinskij Yeah, I love dissonance as well.
@@offelio8030 but why tho? that explains how, but WHY did it have to be this beautiful? Why Debussy??
One of my favorite songs to play on piano! Debussy and Satie are 2 of my favorite French composers. Beautifully played! 😊
this and clair de lune is best
Debussy and Satie are amazing. I am especially fond of Satie
They were both friends and admired each others work greatly, just a cool little fact.
This is the best version of Arabesque no. 1
I've been listening to others play this piece but Rousseau's version is somehow slow and poetic. I love it when I easily imagine the impression Debussy is giving.
This song reminds me of someone I used to love. I know most people listen to this because of one reason or another but it makes me both happy and sad. It reminds me of rain, the feeling of being washed over by something but if you just sit there in peace and accept it the feelings becomes so natural and easing. I had someone special play this for me a long time ago and I remember sitting there with my eyes closed trying to remember everything, the smells the feeling, the person who was sitting across the room playing. It makes me happy to know that in that space and in that time it was just me and that person having that experience and unbeknownst to them it was something so intimately special that this piece, no matter what may have happened, will always invoke a fond memory and peace. I have had a very strange life but sometimes it feels good to take this simple peace and remember just one time when I truly felt at ease. Thank you everyone for reading and I hope that you can have that special moment with someone one day.
i loved your comment, i hope i can have a special moment that i will forever remember with someone too ❤❤❤
I see debussy, I click. PLEASE DO AS MUCH DEBUSSY AS YOU CAN !!!! I love his music and especially the way you play it.
Reagan L. His music is something else! It connects with me in a way that no other kind of music can. Just beautiful.
Zack WhoAmI I would love to see Debussy in person lol

Debussy is the best composer ever
É tão forte essa composição, você sente cada nota vibrando em seu corpo.
Ela me leva a um lugar tão calmo, tão vivo, por um momento todas as preocupações desaparecem.
A single moment of beautiful reverie captured, reflected upon, and stretched across time.
Debussy's purposefully meandering music is a thing of beauty not quite like anything else.
this is what i imagine the soundtrack to a really nice dream is like
I’m literally in tears and sniffling like a child. I barely know anything about classical music but I hear and feel so much beauty and emotion with this composition and it’s interpretation- it’s truly amazing.
sending you a hug!
Same here. It’s beautiful
That's how I felt, when listening to classical at 10 yrs old, falling in love with it. It ruined me for most other music, haha. I don't listen to the mainstream trash, from the radio- it just doesn't compare and is designed to dumb people down. Classical is in a completely different league! Check out Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, etc. Another genre I do listen to, is called Uplifting/Orchestral/Emotional Trance music. It has classical elements, with an energetic beat. Absolutely beautiful! Check out "SoundLift- One Day" one of my fav tunes ever :)
Whenever I listen to this piece I always imagine myself being in the middle of wonderful fields full of flowers. ❤
How divine, Jennifer. Keep playing.
This is one of the most beautiful things humanity ever created.
you're so fluid with this piece it almost feels like i could just play it
Yeah right? I'm practising this rn and it's a lot harder than you think to get the right dynamics
@@levinko5291 better to learn the notes first and then add in the dynamics and other stuff
@@baldmista1907 For me, it was a simultaneous process of both. But yeah, it's always better to know the notes first so you can focus on the harder rhythms. I played it at a concert and it was a great success :)
Only a genius like Debussy could compose such ethereal joy. Like a day on a Greek Island with soft ocean breezes caressing the sunshine
It's rare that a musical piece doesn't tell you how to feel. Some think it's sad some think it's happy some think it's both.
Indeed, especially Debussy music
That piano 🔥
They need to play this at the subway in Mexico City, maybe all subways in the world. People would be going to work more relaxed and replanished, it would make people's day more pleasant
to play this in the wall frontier
after 58 years. I now want to learn the piano Thanks Debussy .
have you learned anything?
I really like the bit from 0:01 to 5:14
I never expected a piece would get to me like this. I am literally in tears of how beautiful this piece is. THIS will be the reason I continue my piano career. Thank you so much.
Maybe some Chopin next? Fantaisie impromptu would be fun to watch
Oh boi, by the end his hands will look like is he was *chopin* stuff and chopped his hands off......
Im sorry, that prob wasn't funny or made sense. Love ur channel meeseeks :3
Hey, thanks, Marquizo ^^
Yes!
Definitely
Nono Fantaise Impromptu is way too overplayed imo,althuogh it's beautiful.
I too think Chopin would be great,but I prefer a different famous piece (and it's not like there aren't enough :P )
After about 6 months, I finished this song. I’m only 10 and have had 6 years of classes. (I swear, I’m not lying,) My teacher asked me to learn this piece, and it was really fun to play! It’s truly a reward to play in harmony with Rousseau. Thank you the encouragement in the comments. I know that barely anyone will see this, but it feels good to have wrote this.
How much pieces do you know? 10? 15? 20?
I practise for only 8 months and i'm able to play 4 pieces
@@LeventK Uhhhh maybe around 100 pieces? I don't count I just play them. I know its a lot tho... 😅😆

De- what now 😳
0:01 since the start this song is beautiful.
Feels so elegant and lightweight like a ballerina
Funny you say that because in ballet arabesque is a body position in which the weight of the body is supported on one leg, while the other leg is extended in back with the knee straight. The most graceful of ballet positions. (Source Brittanica)
this is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard it just invokes emotion

Debussy was a master of modern classical music. It simply doesn't get any better.
Why do my eyes get teary at 4:45 !!!?? I can't control it. That second to last note says something about me and my life. I feel like that note was planned and created exclusively to let me know something about my own life. Am I the only one?
music does inexplicable things. This piece is beautiful and it is very well played. Hope you doing okay man🤞
Maybe that's how you interpretating the meaning on that part of song.
Wow
My life was perfect for 5 minutes and 14 seconds.
2:27 is one of the greatest moments in music history
Why
I love this recording because it is slower than most others, giving a light and airy sound.
1:22 this climb is so satisfying
This is my favourite piece of classical music. The head of music at the royal Shakespeare company used to play it to me when he was about 16. I used to be his babysitter!
I've watched this so many times. It's one of my calming tools for panic attacks. 😂 TY and KUTGW!
You have helped me calm down when I have anxiety attacks thank you!
Bravo! thank's to the artist for playing and posting this...years ago when I was going to college I lived on the 2nd floor of a private home, and the girl who lived below me would practice this piece nearly every day....I loved listening to it so much! This version is the exact same, slower tempo as she played, and it is so very beautiful!
This is the best rendition. Not sped up. Hits every not perfectly. Well done. ❣️
this piece resonates so deeply in me as it used to be the only thing that could get me to sleep on nights of insomnia. I have truly fond memories of this song and it brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. Great job rousseau!
I can play the first 20 seconds my dudes :))) still practicing it
Good luck
Can you play it now?
Even if I’m late you go go go!!!
Keep up the good work my dude! It’s been 7 months how is the progression?
Aaron Thomas Sure hope he is!
I am so glad you are putting out more pieces from debussy:) beautifully played!
This is a really nice piece, I’m teaching my students this to them and they love it!!!
You sound like a cool teacher!!
Personally one of my favorite songs to play on the piano
Debussy - Reverie ( please sir )
Yes, please, I have been asking for this too!
AGREE
OH YES!!!! one of my fav Debussy pieces !!!!
please😭
YESSSSS
i snuck out to see him and give him a blanket on a cold february night. we walked around town for a little bit and we ended up finding a piano. he played the first minute or so of this, at about this tempo and it was magical. absolutely magical. i teared up. we spent the night talking about nothing and everything at the same time. the way we had connected was like nothing i had ever felt before. we listened to music the whole time and it was like a movie. that memory and that night is everything to me even though we have since broken up. i miss him so and i just hope he's well and happy.
Press "f" to pay respects

That's really nice, but what do you mean you just "found a piano"? Seems an unlikely thing.
