Most versions of this aren't very well played. This one is. It's slow, relaxed, and it feels like it's not constrained to any real pace. It's entirely in the hands of the musician. Most people seem to rush this piece too much.
John Frusciante once said something to the effect of some classically trained musicians stick to a perfect time signature like a grid. They rarely play around with the space between the notes. Could explain a lot here.
Was trying out this piece but once I listened to this I noticed that I was much more faster than what it should be. I’m so used to Chopin’s incredibly fast pieces like petit chien and black keys where I am too slow and this time it’s the opposite.
Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head. Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, that happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain, and happy the town at night whose wizards are all ashes. For it is of old rumour that the soul of the devil-bought hastes not from his charnel clay, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws; till out of corruption horrid life springs, and the dull scavengers of earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it. Great holes secretly are digged where earth's pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl. (From The Festival, by HP Lovecraft)
I was playing Risk of Rain 2 and the lobby music was this. I couldn't figure out why this song sounded so damn familiar until I realized that this song was also used in the Halo diorama ad. Glad to finally put a name to this song.
@@alliknowisthatiknownothing8860 not 'just' a Halo ad, this was an entire campaign of marketing. a whole story. The believe trailer struck many of us with its message..
Instead of complaining that "my live of music" brought me here, I'm going to say that I'm glad video games and stuff like that are putting music like this in their games, and opening people up to music like this, and making more people like and see how pretty this music is :) my FAVORITE by Chopin. Good choice, halo crew and others.
THANK YOU! I'd have never thought that there would be someone brave enough to capture the very essential thought what music is about and that I doesn't matter with which background it's listened to. Just enjoying it is what really matters.
I love this piece but I first heard it in a video game (Eternal Sonata). There were even sections on Chopin's life that I probably wouldn't know otherwise.
I remember playing this at my recital when I was about 16 I believe. My dad was hardly home growing up, and he so happened to be home the week of my recital. I was really excited for him to see how hard I’ve been working on this. It took me a few weeks of tons of practice to get it decent. Day of the recital he doesn’t show cause he’s drunk as usual when he is home. This song is always a bittersweet reminder of wanting to be seen, but having to find the need to see myself first. My mom did go and I’ll always appreciate her for picking up the slack of a negligent father
To me, Chopin signifies something more than music. Hidden within those delicate intervals and un-paralleled harmonies is buried a small part of our souls. Nestled in with those remarkable notes is a story we are all yet to unlock. The music doesn’t only speak to us: it teaches us. I am so thankful for the privilege to experience the immortality of Frédéric Chopin.
I feel like this song best represents the way I've felt the past 8 years or so. Man, my life sucks. Life is still beautiful though. Kind of like raindrops. I hate the rain, but rain nourishes the earth.
Its because when composing this song Chopin was trapped in his summer home in Spain. He had bad TB and was there for the dry climate. Then the infamous Spanish rains hit and he was stuck in his room the whole season. So this is him both bored and frustrated.
This was the piece that made me want to learn piano in the first place. I just couldn't stop listening and playing the middle part when I was 11 years old. Thank you for uploading this piece and its wonderful interpretation; It lead me to the endless pleasure of classical music. Now, 3 years later, I'm playing his etudes and ballades.
The soul reason I learned how to play this song on the piano was purely for the halo 3 trailer with all the miniatures.... When chief lifts his head and activates the plasma grenade, I know I had to learn this song. Happy to say I still remember how to play it. However I got rusty, so I think I’ll relearn it for halo 3 salute. It’s been an honor serving with all of you in the 360 era. *Salutes*
"Spartans never die. They're just missing in action." God, this song paired with the Halo diorama will be a trailer that I will never forget. Unfortunately with 343 in charge, there aren't many moments like that, but whenever I hear this song, it gives me hope, not just for Halo.
Check out the new Halo Infinite trailer "UNSC Archives - Unspoken". It pulls at the heart strings, man. Something I thought 343 would never do. ;-; It's wonderfully done.
I suppose these messages might get tiring, but I'm here from Signalis. It was a beautiful experience, and as someone who doesn't know much classical music, it introduced me to several fascinating pieces.
"He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God." -Aeschylus
That is so true. I love that one! God brings you to it, or let's you go through it! Either God care's Or does not care. How can we know? until then we have Chopin and Bach and the movie ALATRISTE!
In 2015, my mother passed away from breast cancer. She was a tough Russian American lady, but had her moments of tenderness. Growing up, after I was in school, I'd come home to the apartment. Before opening the door, I'd hear her playing the piano. I'd stop in my tracks. I remembered how It used to give her such joy and jubilation playing Chopin. She'd play with such heart and feeling, and soul, the powerful chords, then the soft notes, the music the pieces were very much like her.. Anyway, I wouldn't open the door. I'd put my book back down, and sit on the carpet in the hallway outside our apartment door and just listen to her play, and play. When she was done, then I'd open the door, give her a hug and a kiss. Vechnaya pamyat, mommichka.
To me THIS is the true version. Its slow so you can actually appreciate each individual note that is being played and not have it sound like the person playing it is having a seizure while playing. Whether or not this is the correct way this song is suppose to be played or not to me is irreverent i enjoy this 100 times over.
***** It's written to be a slow song, it was about the raindrops from his monarchy, to me this song sounds a little fast, it might just be me hearing it wrong, either way this song carries a lot of weight emotionally and is incredible. the bit at 2:47 keeps bringing me back to the song.
Effect Fantasy No, Chopin composed it whilst he was in a fevered state as he was dying of tuberculosis. His wife nicknamed it 'The Raindrop' but Chopin himself didn't care for nicknames.
The Believe campaign was truly something beautiful, everything from the music, to the actors, to the scenes, and to how the story is put together. I wish the Museum of Humanity truly existed...
I first learned about Chopin thanks to a game entirely dedicated to him during his feverish last days of life -- Eternal Sonata. It was a beautiful game, good music and had clips of his music between 'chapters' explaining how / why he wrote them and even played them. It was pretty cool, and introduced me to a great classical musician.
If you like anime (I know those interests don't always go together) but if you do, you might like Piano Mori or Forest of Piano. The second season is basically just all the characters at the International Chopin Competition and they don't skimp on the music.
I see all these comments about some video game, or an app bringing them to this song. I was introduced to it by a Dear, dear friend of mine. However, it warms me to know that while video games are surrounded by some amount of controversy, they can still bring people to experience beauty such as this. I am truly thankful music like this exists, despite it being buried by current genres, and still manages to meet the hearts of people today.
I studied this for GCSE music in 2012 and, despite the large amount of revision and excessive playing required, I loved it so much that Im still listening to it years later.
@@Rycidex as someone who played piano for 7 years and knew about this song before the halo trailer used it. DON'T fuck halo. seriously man wtf? like im a pro at piano but im also a pro at getting ninjas and double kills also i love the BR and AR and i clap cheeks in rumble pit all day with master cheeks i love his sweaty cheeks so much. so anyways dont fuck halo coming from a piano master and a halo master as well
The way the pianist hits the notes around 2:50 to 2:53 is beautiful. It sends shivers. The power and force brings out a feeling of despair and lamentation. I really like this interpretation. 😊
And I also like the pace. The others I find to be too fast as though the pianist is rushing through it. The whole melody of the piece reminds me of a sorrowful experience with bits of happiness in it. It's as though he was reminiscing an experience that brought both joy and sadness. A fast pace ruins it whereas this pace allows the pianist to fully express those feelings.
The contents of this masterpiece is really well represented over the breath of this creation. Like the stages of life communicated. With light, high notes at the start, to represent youth and vibrance. Then darker, lower, almost dark keys in the middle of life, signifying a youth becoming a adult, and how hard that transition is. Finally goes back to light keys and brings us into old age gracefully and with respect. Letting us leave this world in the same place, we started.
Not many people will get this, but Happy Birthday Halo 3. 15 Years strong. BELIEVE. 117. 9-25-07 LEGENDS NEVER DIE. Thank you for everything Bungie, and thank you Chopin for this excellent track to compliment a truly Legendary trailer.
my 19 year old son brought me here...and i am so thankful...... what a great piece of music...we listen to everything from rock, jazz, r/b classical electronica...when he says "dad, give this a listen, im on it!"
It's incredible how Chopin was able to compose a piece of music that literally embraces the very essence of raindrops. A truly beautiful and dynamic masterpiece.
Metaphors within metaphors, if you get what I mean. He composed this during a storm, using the sounds of thunder and the sounds of raindrops dripping from the monastery roof as inspiration. But not only that. He was dying from tuberculosis, lonely, maybe even afraid of what his future held... As we hear the storm break, we experience darker emotions, reflecting the dark and terbulent storm of his emotions. A wonderful piece... Will always bring tears to my eyes.
My grandmother used to play this on her Kawai. She always told me dynamics in this song are what makes it. All I can think about when listening are non linear correlations. So beautiful
"The composition was born from the mind of Frédéric Chopin in 1858 during his stay at the Valldemossa monastery." That's why he is best Romantic composer ever! He managed to compose pieces this beautiful even 9 years after his death in 1849! I bet nobody can achieve this ever.
"No soldier is truly honored for doing what is expected..." -Master Chief (He doesn't say it in the games but if you've seen the believe ad's you'll get the reference)
Bardo when I first saw that ad I cried, it conveyed so much emotion using nothing but visuals and this song. I was immediately convinced to get the game right then and there
Recognized this both from the ending(s) of Signalis as well as what the Colonel’s wife is playing on the grand piano in the background when you go to confront him as Aiden while taking the Nightrunners story path in Dying Light 2. Interesting how this particular piece of Chopin’s work seems to get around a lot here lately. 😏
Back with another sighting of this particular musical piece out in the wild, this time in Hogwarts Legacy of all things as the piano in the Ravenclaw common room will play it if you interact with it.
All the classics were written so gracefully, so passionately, so purely, I too love Chopin. It is amazing what the classics bring into the heart, the imagination, the mynd (that spiritual part of the mind)..that which is elevated above the thought processes.
The draw to Chopin and his touching piece of work. What instilled the word believe in me as a kid, has now brought me peace. The music at this random pace sways as if the song is alive and has emotion, it tells a story.
Everybody here in you haven't already, should watch the movie "Impromptu". It depicts the occasion of how this beautiful piece came into fruition. It's sad but very meaningful. And if you all love this piece, try listening to Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise". We can't let another generation of bright minds be without these intellectual treasures. Passion NEEDS to persevere in this crazy world of ours. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of music and history with us.
Brings a tear to my eye. Not because it is sad, but because of the many wonderful memories this song brings to me. Sitting on my couch with a couple online friends in party chat trying to beat the Legendary campaign for the 3rd time that week, sending each other our crappy Forge maps (but we thought they were amazing lol), or just partying up for some team slayer. It may be 13 years ago, and I may be in my late 20's now, but I still fondly think back to that era. Every time I remember it, I always miss those guys. They may be gone but Spartans never die. They're just MIA.
Most versions of this aren't very well played. This one is. It's slow, relaxed, and it feels like it's not constrained to any real pace. It's entirely in the hands of the musician. Most people seem to rush this piece too much.

I first heard this song on the last episode of 'Hercule Poirot' when Hastings' daughter is playing it on the piano. It is so beautiful and sad!
I have never heard anything like this. he transition at 3:48 is beyond words. my teacher showed us this
my 19 year old son brought me here...and i am so thankful...... what a great piece of music...we listen to everything from rock, jazz, r/b classical electronica...when he says "dad, give this a listen, im on it!"
No one brought me anywhere. I'm not even here.
How do you know that you are you?
Lmao hahaha

It's incredible how Chopin was able to compose a piece of music that literally embraces the very essence of raindrops. A truly beautiful and dynamic masterpiece.
Actually this piece wasn't related to raindrops at all.
That title was given to this piece after Chopin died.
Halo 3 brought me here 15 years ago. Signalis brought me here again
Same here. Good ol' 2007...
I just love how it actually sounds like raindrops that's what I find so soothing and beautiful
Metaphors within metaphors, if you get what I mean. He composed this during a storm, using the sounds of thunder and the sounds of raindrops dripping from the monastery roof as inspiration. But not only that. He was dying from tuberculosis, lonely, maybe even afraid of what his future held... As we hear the storm break, we experience darker emotions, reflecting the dark and terbulent storm of his emotions. A wonderful piece... Will always bring tears to my eyes.
I started dancing ballet because of this song when I was 15! That was 8 years ago. Glad to still see people coming back to this piece.
My grandmother used to play this on her Kawai. She always told me dynamics in this song are what makes it. All I can think about when listening are non linear correlations. So beautiful
"The composition was born from the mind of Frédéric Chopin in 1858 during his stay at the Valldemossa monastery."
That's why he is best Romantic composer ever! He managed to compose pieces this beautiful even 9 years after his death in 1849! I bet nobody can achieve this ever.
This piece by Chopin speaks out within the depths of my soul.

Beautiful! not all piano pieces need to be vivaciously complicated. This piece connects with you and lets you feel every note
The way shit goes down after 02:00 is exceptional. Absolute gorgeously played…

Bardo when I first saw that ad I cried, it conveyed so much emotion using nothing but visuals and this song. I was immediately convinced to get the game right then and there
Probably what sold Halo 3. It was a clever ad campaign, full of real emotion and great acting.
Do you believe that quote?
Love Chopin.
He lighted up the world with music so deep and meaningful.
I’ve literally cried while me grandmother played this… god rest her soul…
Recognized this both from the ending(s) of Signalis as well as what the Colonel’s wife is playing on the grand piano in the background when you go to confront him as Aiden while taking the Nightrunners story path in Dying Light 2. Interesting how this particular piece of Chopin’s work seems to get around a lot here lately. 😏
Back with another sighting of this particular musical piece out in the wild, this time in Hogwarts Legacy of all things as the piano in the Ravenclaw common room will play it if you interact with it.
I was brought here by magic piano. Thank you Smule.
i have been searching for this song for 3-4 years... so happy i finally found it!!!
So simple yet, just soooo beautiful in my ears...am i the one only submitted to this wonderful piece??? SO HEAVENLY ❤️❤️❤️❤️
brought myself here this piece is freakin amazing and I absolutely love it.
All the classics were written so gracefully, so passionately, so purely, I too love Chopin. It is amazing what the classics bring into the heart, the imagination, the mynd (that spiritual part of the mind)..that which is elevated above the thought processes.
You can actually feel the sadness from this man truly a beautiful piece of art
Don’t let her go. Don’t EVER let her go
Send me out with a bang.
I like the way Raindrops starts out like a little bit of niceness and then it get so, so dark and heavy.
For me that's the best Version here on UA-cam.
Believe - Halo 3. A golden era of gaming.
The draw to Chopin and his touching piece of work. What instilled the word believe in me as a kid, has now brought me peace. The music at this random pace sways as if the song is alive and has emotion, it tells a story.
Everybody here in you haven't already, should watch the movie "Impromptu". It depicts the occasion of how this beautiful piece came into fruition. It's sad but very meaningful. And if you all love this piece, try listening to Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise". We can't let another generation of bright minds be without these intellectual treasures. Passion NEEDS to persevere in this crazy world of ours. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of music and history with us.
This was Kate Liu's last encore piece at her Gilmore recital yesterday, 4.28.19.
A nudder excellent performance courtesy of an amazing young player.
Chopin bliss 😊

The perfect interpretation of how raindrops fall. The rise, the clarity, the transitions; so perfect.

Remember our promise.
Brings a tear to my eye. Not because it is sad, but because of the many wonderful memories this song brings to me. Sitting on my couch with a couple online friends in party chat trying to beat the Legendary campaign for the 3rd time that week, sending each other our crappy Forge maps (but we thought they were amazing lol), or just partying up for some team slayer. It may be 13 years ago, and I may be in my late 20's now, but I still fondly think back to that era. Every time I remember it, I always miss those guys. They may be gone but Spartans never die. They're just MIA.
Sitting down at my kitchen with a cup of warm lemon tea while watching the rain outside the window. What a life ☔☔
