Tchaikovsky. Waltz of the Flowers. A favorite of classical audiences, and every ballet dancer's worst nightmare. It's amazing to think about how many incredibly memorable melodies were written by Tchaikovsky - there are 3 in this piece alone - it's almost like everything that came out of his pen immediately found itself in the hearts of audiences, a truly rare feat. What a way to end the first half of the year, and to end the '2 million' series of videos - safe to say this one is the calm before the storm. I hope you enjoy the video and have a great Tuesday (one day late with this video...) and a great start to July tomorrow ♥

@@drivernjax oh okay, a story. That's interesting! That person was making a joke in regards to "furries" on Twitter being overly cringey at times, and talking about things they don't understand, such as politics. Basically, they are insulting furries and calling them dumb/cringey.
@@phayerphlay9156 Yes, I know. For some reason, there are people out there who are afraid of people who have likes that are, to them, odd. These are the kind of people that would verbally attack and insult those people to try to make themselves feel better.
It's crazy to think there's almost 3M of you now, it feels like only yesterday when I started the channel - how many subscribers did I have when you subscribed?
My parents always told me that when they drove me back home from the hospital when I was just a newborn, my dad put this waltz on the car radio. I don’t know if it’s related, but through the years this piece has become one of my favorites. I wish one day I’d be able to fully play it on the piano (working on that); seems like it would also be fitting to play this at my funeral - a homage to the beginning of my life, to my parents, and to the beauty I found in this world. Thank you, Rousseau, for this amazing rendition.
I visitors an art museum in Italy and bought one of these small music boxes. Wherever I went, asleep in the booster, walking around the hotel, just smiling my head off rotating the bar to play this song. I really wish I could go back again. I still have the music box on my desk and it will forever be with me for the rest of my life.
When I was a toddler , my mum used to pick me up and we'd dance to the music from The Nutcracker. I think that's what influenced my love of Classical Music 💙
IT'S A PIECE! (i mean that all music is "piece", but pieces can be: songs, waltzes, symphonies, concertos, ect., and one piece can't be waltz and song at the same time, for example)
It's so much fun to watch you play. Don't you ever make a mistake? I'm 62 and learning how to play. I'll never be at your level but you inspire me to keep practicing. Thank you for the videos.
Beautiful, this is the original composer piano arrangement I presume... Its impossible for me to listen to this piece without What Remains Of Edith Finch popping into my head with that heartbreaking baby/bath scene.

Hello Rousseau My name is Ahmed I am 10 years old I live in Reunion I play the piano for 1 year I am playing Dance of the Knights by Prokofiev. I love to see you play you play very very very well very well BRAVO.
Dance of the Knights is also a beautiful piece, I sadly stopped playing piano many years ago and I played it since I was 7 years and I regret that decision every day. I want to go back and play again but I have forgotten all of it. Keep playing and don’t give up, playing the piano is one of the most amazing qualities a person can have!
I’ve just started to learn this beautiful piece. After 8 years of ballet and finally realizing it wasn’t for me, I picked up piano. Yet I still somehow miss my pointe shoes that caused me so much pain, my friends in class, and especially the dark backstages to a performance. So once I learn how to play this, I hope I can dedicate all those memories to this song :)
@@nailman5949 haha i forgot about this comment. Yes, I was able to finish learning the entire song by the start of the holidays (Christmas and whatnot...) thank you for asking :)
My heart warms whenever I hear this. I do miss life as a kid. So careless, so free, so fun. Thanks Rousseau, this masterpiece played like how it's supposed to be ;))
This song was part of "I know the theme but I don't know the name" for me, so thank you for doing it. Also could you play Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake in a next video please?
The piece at 4:13 always gets my deepest emotions and feelings, and makes me want to cry with how good the composer understands the very bottom of my human heart
Amazing piece! It’s so cool to see how Rousseaus channel has grown and the effort he puts in to these videos! An amazing pianist, who also inspired me to pick up learning the piano at the age of 25 🙌🏽❤️ Thank you Rousseau!
I remember when my dad would take me to a showing of the nutcracker every year around Christmas time. I remember how grand the theater was, the stage was huge and hearing the music and seeing the dancers made me so happy. It was always in the city, I remember walking back to the car in the cold foggy wether some years. I don’t have as good of a relationship with my dad as I did back then but I’ll always hold on to those memories. It was nice, hopefully I can see another showing next year or whenever I can.
@@abhilashs2264 Wow someone commented on this a whole year later. I can happily say that I actually have some pretty good chances of going. When it gets more towards the season though I’ll let you know if it happens:D
When I listen to this, I imagine a nice cafe with people in nice fancy dresses and suits, holding menus with golden accents and cursive writing, matching the theme of the cafe. People are having nice chatters with some laughs and some dancing near the front of the room. There are people watching, sipping cups of tea while the smell of warm vanilla lingers about. This is just what I hear when I listen to the piece 😄
How lovely! Funny, when I listen to this it feels gently wet, like droplets of ice blue water, cool and playful. I guess we all experience beauty differently. Thanks for sharing yours :)
When I listen to this, I imagine a garden with lilies everywhere and a bee dancing among the flowers on her tiptoes to collect nectar to make honey on a peaceful spring day with the fragrance of tulips. Idk how to really explain how I feel it but it's so peaceful
Every time I hear this piece, I just imagine myself dancing as a ballet dancer in front of a theater packed with people. It makes me wonder if I was a ballet dancer in my past life. Thank you for such a beautiful rendition of this masterpiece. 🫶
Guys calm down seriously. Everyone thinking rousseau is gone but he's just learning a transcendental etude. Do you have any idea how long it takes to learn those? Also consider that he's probably injured himself, got coronavirus, his dog died, we have NO IDEA what could be going on. So let's be patient
Aww, this song brings me back memories from when I performed the Nutcracker with my old studio, the waltz of the flowers is one of the first dances I learned when I performed the Nutcracker for the first time when I was about 10 or 11 and this just brings me nostalgia.
I was a kid with hopes to be a good pianist but unfortunately, we're not rich enough to buy a full range piano and to pay for lessons. I considered our financial state, and continued to learn by myself despite the incomplete keyboard my parents bought for me as a request (on sale). I go to my friend's house and learn classical music there together. I'm 17 now, and realized I could've come far if i was richer so i can pay for my lessons and if I had a piano. I'm still with my 66key piano rn and I almost always ended up learning songs instead of classical pieces like this. But I don't blame anyone. I'm just jealous. EDIT: MY PARENTS TOLD ME THEY ALREADY HAVE SAVED UP FOR IT AND TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY. AND NO I'M NOT CRYING 😫
Before high school I had that 66 keys keyboard, too. I was playing "he is a pirate" with one hand and without chords. Then I lived far from family in high school times, in dormitory. Luckily there was an electronic piano in music room. I guess I spend more time in that room than the study hall in dormitory for 4 years. Now I am playing piano for more than 8 years and I succeed to play chopin op64 no2 for example. I couldnt effort to a private lesson with a teacher but my sister was a lucky one to find a scholarship from a music school. After high school I was very lucky to buy a yamaha clp 320 second hand (with today's currency it was 200 dollar) and I had worked and saved almost all of this money. And this piano was the almost same with the one in high school. (It was clp 330). In these days I generally plays oogway ascends with imagine that astonishing sciene. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called present" this is a little part of my story. I wish you luck for rest of your story. I believe that there is always a goodnes in hearts of musicians.
@@Isshosan1 THANK YOU! I admire your good thoughtfulness good sir. You can contact me in my IG: franzxml22 I hope you guys are gonna be my friends :)) It's nice to see good people. With all the money I have, I can only afford a Clorox Bleach 😂
@@mustafamert8387 Great story! It feels good knowing you went a long way playing the piano. Keep it up! You know I kind of wish that my family can go to a music store and buy a full-range piano just like that *snaps fingers* . That's why right now I chose to learn pop songs, and wait 'til my parents tell me, "hey, we gonna go buy a full range digital piano now." I hope it's sooner tho but I can still wait. I'd be delighted to. I'm talkative so... pardon for the unnecessary things I've mentioned lol. I wish you good health! May you enjoy the rest of your story. You will be blessed. Ciao
Damn..... I feel bad for just having 5 pianos lying around my house now 😭😭 ..... ( I stopped playing for a tear already after playing for 12 yrs ( since I was 5 )
so im in ballet (not that anyone asked) and im still learning (im not the best). we did our first dance show last month to this song and it went perfectly, and while we ran into the wings at the end, i broke down because i didnt think i could do it in front of hundreds of people. i have horrible stage fright, but honestly i focused on my grandma and i got through it. nothing went through my mind within that 5 minutes. and it was graceful. and im so proud of myself and my friends for doing that :3
This was so incredibly enjoyable! A little culture and civilization in a world of chaos....thank you! Grew up as a little girl totally in love with the Nutcracker .... especially the Waltz of the Flowers! 👑💖
I used to have a doll that goes round and round at a music when switched on. It was really pretty, all clad in white, the music it danced with was the waltz of flower. How I love it! The doll was gifted by my elder sister, who recently is no more among us. I just love his song so much. It reminds me of all the time we spent together playing with the doll.
I had already been playing piano for forever but luckily I’m at the level where I can play pieces like this. So I’m actually happy I found it later in my piano life than sooner
A few days ago, I fell in love with this piece. The sweetest piece I have ever heard. Look, there are some birds flying around in the garden where is full of flowers. I dance the waltz in the center of the garden.
It is Springtime again, The flowers blossom On the branches above, Celebrating new life When the wind blows Some of the flowers fall, Drifting down to the pond, And land softly on the water The flowers gently turn, Carried this way and that By the playful current, Edging toward the rapids Unable to escape, the flowers Ride the rapids, tumbling And turning, rising and falling, Splashed with the spray They slide past the rocks And under the overhanging Branches of the trees Growing along the river's banks Here the water is slower, calmer, They can come together again, River otters and birds watch As they float past them Until a little girl, wading in The shallows, reaches down to Pick up flower after flower, and Carries them back to her mother "Look, Mummy, what I found For you in the river," the girl says, And her mother smiles and says, "Thank you. They're very beautiful." "Don't you want them?" the girl asks, And her mother shakes her head And says, "It's like catching a fish -- It's better if you put them back in. That way they can be seen by Everyone who watches the river, Until eventually the flowers reach The waves of the distant ocean." The little girl puts the flowers back In the river; she waves as she watches Them float out of sight, closes her eyes And wishes them safe journey On their way downstream to the sea
Hey, Rousseau. I really hope you’re doing alright due to this horrible situation. I would be really glad, almost reassured I dare to say, if you could at least post something saying that you are fine. You can take your time and remember you have a community that awaits and supports you!
Omer Abbara I have no idea, but right now there are many things going around the world. This was the first time that Rousseau went on a large period of time with no uploads without telling us.
I don’t know if it was a troll or not but he said “*And then Rousseau never uploaded a video ever again* 😛” on his discord server. Hope he’s just kidding tho
Parts of this piece reminds of when someone is playing a harp. This is wonderfully performed, it captures the beauty of flowers and is overall amazing. But the way you played it was top-notch. Thank you for all the music you post, I love your channel and its so inspiring to me as a beginning pianist.

The piece at 4:13 always gets my deepest emotions and feelings, and makes me want to cry with how good the composer understands the very bottom of my human heart
Was waiting for someone to say this
Nice to meet someone who enjoys this part. I feel very emotional too on this part
I can listen this part for hours
true, you will love Chopin and Eric Satie also
very true. Tchai was a top G.
I can imagine a garden full of flowers. And there's Olaf jumping around then sniffing them all.
If this isnt playing at my funeral I ain't going
Truely a big brain individual
As I shoot out of canon definitely
Dead joke
@@LeventK you're goddamn right
Amazing piece! It’s so cool to see how Rousseaus channel has grown and the effort he puts in to these videos! An amazing pianist, who also inspired me to pick up learning the piano at the age of 25 🙌🏽❤️ Thank you Rousseau!
Have fun and don't forget to practice scales/exercices to quickly be at ease !
Love to you all from Russia, from the birthplace of Tchaikovsky.
I just got mega flashbacks to when I would go to the Nutcracker every Christmas 😖
Thank you for this... it’s really beautiful
I remember when my dad would take me to a showing of the nutcracker every year around Christmas time. I remember how grand the theater was, the stage was huge and hearing the music and seeing the dancers made me so happy. It was always in the city, I remember walking back to the car in the cold foggy wether some years. I don’t have as good of a relationship with my dad as I did back then but I’ll always hold on to those memories. It was nice, hopefully I can see another showing next year or whenever I can.
It's been a year...soo? Went to the theater?
@@abhilashs2264 Wow someone commented on this a whole year later. I can happily say that I actually have some pretty good chances of going. When it gets more towards the season though I’ll let you know if it happens:D
@@myname4577 glad to hear that. Good luck bro :)
Thats very cute i also enjoyed watching the nutcracker
My parents used to do the same for me… his pieces will always hold a special place in my heart
When I listen to this, I imagine a nice cafe with people in nice fancy dresses and suits, holding menus with golden accents and cursive writing, matching the theme of the cafe. People are having nice chatters with some laughs and some dancing near the front of the room. There are people watching, sipping cups of tea while the smell of warm vanilla lingers about. This is just what I hear when I listen to the piece 😄
How lovely! Funny, when I listen to this it feels gently wet, like droplets of ice blue water, cool and playful. I guess we all experience beauty differently. Thanks for sharing yours :)
@@yunhea1gmail469 Woah that’s so pretty!
@@Cookie_Comment Thanks :) Have a good day :D
When I listen to this, I imagine a garden with lilies everywhere and a bee dancing among the flowers on her tiptoes to collect nectar to make honey on a peaceful spring day with the fragrance of tulips. Idk how to really explain how I feel it but it's so peaceful
@@whyiseverysinglehandletaken2 Sounds like heaven
Every time I hear this piece, I just imagine myself dancing as a ballet dancer in front of a theater packed with people. It makes me wonder if I was a ballet dancer in my past life. Thank you for such a beautiful rendition of this masterpiece. 🫶
And when the world needed him the most, he vanished
Bro we need the avatar back my g
Guys calm down seriously. Everyone thinking rousseau is gone but he's just learning a transcendental etude. Do you have any idea how long it takes to learn those? Also consider that he's probably injured himself, got coronavirus, his dog died, we have NO IDEA what could be going on. So let's be patient
@ChemistryLive Rousseau does the subscriber specials. Not the people he employs.
tru :(
@@declanmurphy4709 different pianists play for the channel which is rousseau
This is so beautiful.. this is truly the biggest masterpiece i have ever heard in my life. And don’t take that lightly.
Some people say they don’t like classic music though it is the best thing they have heard.
Long live good music
*amen*
the delightfully sweet melody at 03:35 my heart gets butterflies after listening to it
I can just imagine the dewdrop fairy and her flowers gliding gracefully across the stage... Bravo, Rousseau!
Probably my favorite Tchaikovsky piece ever
Me: **wearing all black and looking annoyed**
My headphones:
same! Lmao
Me too
Me tooooo
I am literally all in black right now
God enterredd. Intto my bodyy,. Like a bbody. My same sizee. Uu wonnnt believe whatt god does to me

@@yourlocalmculover6664 wait, you've seen me before?
@@pianoforte1720 Uh- Yes
Aww, this song brings me back memories from when I performed the Nutcracker with my old studio, the waltz of the flowers is one of the first dances I learned when I performed the Nutcracker for the first time when I was about 10 or 11 and this just brings me nostalgia.
I never thought a piano piece could make me shed a tear.... until i listened to this masterpiece
I was a kid with hopes to be a good pianist but unfortunately, we're not rich enough to buy a full range piano and to pay for lessons. I considered our financial state, and continued to learn by myself despite the incomplete keyboard my parents bought for me as a request (on sale). I go to my friend's house and learn classical music there together. I'm 17 now, and realized I could've come far if i was richer so i can pay for my lessons and if I had a piano. I'm still with my 66key piano rn and I almost always ended up learning songs instead of classical pieces like this. But I don't blame anyone. I'm just jealous.
EDIT: MY PARENTS TOLD ME THEY ALREADY HAVE SAVED UP FOR IT AND TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY. AND NO I'M NOT CRYING 😫
give me your contacts from any social media chanel please, maybe i can help you to get a 88 keys digital piano
Before high school I had that 66 keys keyboard, too. I was playing "he is a pirate" with one hand and without chords. Then I lived far from family in high school times, in dormitory. Luckily there was an electronic piano in music room. I guess I spend more time in that room than the study hall in dormitory for 4 years. Now I am playing piano for more than 8 years and I succeed to play chopin op64 no2 for example. I couldnt effort to a private lesson with a teacher but my sister was a lucky one to find a scholarship from a music school. After high school I was very lucky to buy a yamaha clp 320 second hand (with today's currency it was 200 dollar) and I had worked and saved almost all of this money. And this piano was the almost same with the one in high school. (It was clp 330). In these days I generally plays oogway ascends with imagine that astonishing sciene. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called present" this is a little part of my story. I wish you luck for rest of your story. I believe that there is always a goodnes in hearts of musicians.
@@Isshosan1 THANK YOU! I admire your good thoughtfulness good sir. You can contact me in my IG: franzxml22
I hope you guys are gonna be my friends :)) It's nice to see good people. With all the money I have, I can only afford a Clorox Bleach 😂
@@mustafamert8387 Great story! It feels good knowing you went a long way playing the piano. Keep it up! You know I kind of wish that my family can go to a music store and buy a full-range piano just like that *snaps fingers* . That's why right now I chose to learn pop songs, and wait 'til my parents tell me, "hey, we gonna go buy a full range digital piano now." I hope it's sooner tho but I can still wait. I'd be delighted to. I'm talkative so... pardon for the unnecessary things I've mentioned lol. I wish you good health! May you enjoy the rest of your story. You will be blessed. Ciao
Damn..... I feel bad for just having 5 pianos lying around my house now 😭😭 ..... ( I stopped playing for a tear already after playing for 12 yrs ( since I was 5 )
It's amazing to watch this played. I am even more amazed that someone made this up out of their head. Wow.
Rousseau is the one who encourages me to play hard classical piano
so im in ballet (not that anyone asked) and im still learning (im not the best). we did our first dance show last month to this song and it went perfectly, and while we ran into the wings at the end, i broke down because i didnt think i could do it in front of hundreds of people. i have horrible stage fright, but honestly i focused on my grandma and i got through it. nothing went through my mind within that 5 minutes. and it was graceful. and im so proud of myself and my friends for doing that :3
Hello.
hahahahah yes!
I support this!
execute order 66
Imposible. That doesn’t exist.
I bet money there aren't lmao. I'm convinced Rousseau is a robot.
Love that mom in the background...telling her teenage kids 'no way, we aint leaving this' .. momma knows. Also insane masterpiece!! .
This was so incredibly enjoyable! A little culture and civilization in a world of chaos....thank you! Grew up as a little girl totally in love with the Nutcracker .... especially the Waltz of the Flowers! 👑💖
I loved your playing of this beautiful piece. Bravo. John (Australia)
GET THIS MAN TO 4MIL BEFORE HE RELEASES HIS 3MIL VID
rousseau died? hmm just me?
@@eE-jj4xv I thought the same thing. I am not kidding though tbh
can't get more subs without engagement. no new video in 2 months
PG Plays Video Games true, I just hope that whatever his "3 million special" is is gonna be good.
For real. YOu would think he would post on socials somewhere. I think something wrong.
This is one of my favorite classical music pieces! You played it beautifully! Thank you ☺️

BRAVO!!! I literally cried at the end! Magnifique!
I used to have a doll that goes round and round at a music when switched on. It was really pretty, all clad in white, the music it danced with was the waltz of flower. How I love it!
The doll was gifted by my elder sister, who recently is no more among us. I just love his song so much. It reminds me of all the time we spent together playing with the doll.
An excellent composer, and an excellent execution of this piece! Waltz of the Flowers!

Simply beautiful! My soul thanks you and your incredible talent and love for the classics!
This is so inspiring!! I bet loads of people have decided to take up piano because of this channel! Thank you for making these videos!
Definitely one of the reasons I have!
I had already been playing piano for forever but luckily I’m at the level where I can play pieces like this. So I’m actually happy I found it later in my piano life than sooner
Last time i was this early, the comment section is full of the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 jokes
those were the days

A few days ago, I fell in love with this piece.
The sweetest piece I have ever heard.
Look, there are some birds flying around in the garden where is full of flowers.
I dance the waltz in the center of the garden.
Petition for Rousseau to update his spotify, the latest release is liebesleid which is 8 months ago
he practices 40 hours a day, this guy is busy my dood
It is Springtime again,
The flowers blossom
On the branches above,
Celebrating new life
When the wind blows
Some of the flowers fall,
Drifting down to the pond,
And land softly on the water
The flowers gently turn,
Carried this way and that
By the playful current,
Edging toward the rapids
Unable to escape, the flowers
Ride the rapids, tumbling
And turning, rising and falling,
Splashed with the spray
They slide past the rocks
And under the overhanging
Branches of the trees
Growing along the river's banks
Here the water is slower, calmer,
They can come together again,
River otters and birds watch
As they float past them
Until a little girl, wading in
The shallows, reaches down to
Pick up flower after flower, and
Carries them back to her mother
"Look, Mummy, what I found
For you in the river," the girl says,
And her mother smiles and says,
"Thank you. They're very beautiful."
"Don't you want them?" the girl asks,
And her mother shakes her head
And says, "It's like catching a fish --
It's better if you put them back in.
That way they can be seen by
Everyone who watches the river,
Until eventually the flowers reach
The waves of the distant ocean."
The little girl puts the flowers back
In the river; she waves as she watches
Them float out of sight, closes her eyes
And wishes them safe journey
On their way downstream to the sea
Wow... Honestly, this is probably the best poem I've ever read.
Yeah that's actually pretty cool
Do some haiku
This sounds beautiful 🥹
This brings back so many childhood memories aaaaaaaa if it wasnt for stupid pandemic i would go see the ballet again
You miss us, Rousseau !
Can't wait to see the special 3M video !
@@kaihagemann9928 I'm already sub at traum and others (Kassia, flaming piano for example) but thanks ahah :)
Wow, that's so nostalgic. Waltz of the Flowers was played on my prom ❤️
I know it’s a small thing, but I love the colors you chose for the notes and lights
Thank you for playing such a beautiful song, this is my favorite piece.👍👍💝💝🌹🌹🌻🌻🌸🌸🍁🍁
Usually goosebumps at about 1:20 mark. One of my all-time favorite pieces
Interpretação majestosa !!! Fraternal abraço de Minas Gerais/Brasil.
¡Es absolutamente hermoso!
A moment of silence for the people who don’t know the name of this piece
All I can say is this is heartbreakingly beautiful.
Well done sir.
Magnifique, Merci infiniment pour votre partage et votre grand talent est une Grâce et un bonheur à ecouter 🙏💖
Bravo 👍
Hey, Rousseau. I really hope you’re doing alright due to this horrible situation. I would be really glad, almost reassured I dare to say, if you could at least post something saying that you are fine. You can take your time and remember you have a community that awaits and supports you!
Omer Abbara I have no idea, but right now there are many things going around the world. This was the first time that Rousseau went on a large period of time with no uploads without telling us.
I hope nothing happened, I’ve been obsessed with his videos the past few weeks. I just started playing at the start of Covid. Anyways, be safe 👍
I don’t know if it was a troll or not but he said “*And then Rousseau never uploaded a video ever again* 😛” on his discord server. Hope he’s just kidding tho
MacFest I’m pretty sure he’s practicing for a 3 mil special, he posted saying he was practicing a piece
@@JoJm221 when did he say that?
Parts of this piece reminds of when someone is playing a harp. This is wonderfully performed, it captures the beauty of flowers and is overall amazing. But the way you played it was top-notch. Thank you for all the music you post, I love your channel and its so inspiring to me as a beginning pianist.
For an orchestral piece this works really well for solo piano, almost rag time in places
