    It was only 1.5 years ago that I started Rousseau, and now there are over 2 MILLION of us - I can't even begin to comprehend this, thank you all. Now that we’ve hit this incredible milestone and ticked HR2 off the bucket list, it is time to take Rousseau to the next level. An original album is already in the works, we're thinking of ways to reimagine live shows too and are working on a concert series! This is just the beginning of what is planned beyond UA-cam and I can’t wait to share more details with you all in 2020! If you’re subscribed to the newsletter, you’ll be the first to know. ♥ www.rousseaum.com

      Trust me, anyone who makes videos with this format almost always edit their music. In order to produce the falling notes you need to use midi, and it's more likely his piano registers the midi, than if his playing is synced up to whatever computer generated midi he used. But that's not to say this isn't an impressive feat, it's like cooking a well rounded dish, you might not need anymore flavours but it's welcomed.. And that's what inputting your midi to daws mean, you don't have to edit out your mistakes, but it does add something more.

    As an accomplished piano player, this is God level. 1in a 10 billion can do this truly correctly. And I feel the only one better at it, by way of passion is Hamlin, but I fear he may have sold his soul to do it. literally NO ONE can play this correctly, and I'm including demi-god Liszt. The one and only one who manages more passion is Hamlin, but it isn't worth it, selling your soul. Your rendition is flawless. When I need humility, this is what I listen to.

    I've been revisiting this recording periodically for a couple of years now and I consider this my reference recording for this piece. That is, this is what I compare everything else to. Tonight, two hours ago I was in a private home listening to a private concert performed by a very good concert pianist. There were about 30 people present. The piece was performed on a new Yamaha baby grand. They played this piece, one of my favorites. When they got to the cadenza two people got up from the audience and walked over and joined the pianist and they went on to play the most complex mind blowing 7 minute long six handed cadenza I have ever heard. They never left the theme of the piece but simply reworked it and varied it and layered it from end to end in what I would call a beautiful convolution of notes. The three performers composed the arrangement of the cadenza themselves. The principal pianist is a concert pianist but also teaches and the other two were his students. I was unable to convince them to provide me with a copy of the sheet music for the cadenza though clearly they were performing off sheet music they had hand written.

And I don't care much about the "visualizer", I enjoyed looking at the hands (I learned to play the piano in my youth and made enough progress to be able to appreciate the technique and clarity and control and the "colors" of the sound.
