My grandfather used to play this as well as many other Liszt and Chopin pieces when I was a kid. He chose a life of entrepreneurship over becoming a concert pianist. He always said it was the best decision he ever made because otherwise he never would’ve met my grandma and my whole family would never have come to be. He passed away last month. It’s amazing how much more of an impact this recording has for me now that he’s passed. R.I.P. Grandpa Challe. I’ll see you again up there.❤️
@@ericshasbeendoingstuffz you're literally taking some of the best classical works ever conceived with months if not years of tweaking and perfection made by a virtuoso pianist and comparing it to music a 17 year old makes in his bedroom in 2 weeks.

@Gizio the Jackal i don't think that's what they meant. i think they meant the first part of lassan is pretty easy but once you get to the middle it gets hard
My 12 yr old grandson can play this without sheet music. I love hearing him play a few classics. He’s also a stud linebacker and fullback in football. The first time I heard him play piano I was AMAZED and other adjectives. I asked him why he never told me he had this gift he told me, “PawPaw I didn’t want you to think I’m a sissy😥” at 60 I changed my views and told him how impressed and proud I was for him, and of him! Amazed is an understatement for my gifted boy!! Wish I could take credit, I can’t🤣
Nah more like The schoolwork: Moonlight Sonata The homework: Prelude Op 3 No 2 (Rachmaninoff) The test: Chopin’s Impromptu That one kid who knows everything:
He never said that, that’s stupid, i dont even think that he thinks that this piece is hard, he have much much harder pieces, like, el countrabandista, paganini etude no.4 (1838)
And its true no one played paganini etude no.4 (1838), and the only one who played el countrabandista on youtube was Valentina lisitsa, and she is 200 years after him, not at his time

Obviously this took a lot of hard work and care, and you must have spent a long time preparing, practicing, editing and recording. Thank you for putting in so much effort to entertain your audience and brighten their experience!
i can just imagine... the year is 1851 and Liszt knows he has this BANGER and he is about to go perform it live for the first time in front of all kinds of royals and upper-class individuals, that would have been a sight to see
Musically, this performance is world class: Dynaimcs, eveness and tempo and not too much rubato. Did not expect to see Hamelin's cadenza. People rarely even play any cadenza for HR2 at all these days and for you to pick a cadenza that rivals the whole piece in terms of difficulty is certainly worth all the praise. I am in awe
Marcelo Price It is a place that the composer adds in the music for the performer to show off their skills, or set a mood. At the end of this piece, the composer (Liszt) wrote in that the performer should play a cadenza there. Liszt himself composed a few cadenzas for this, and Rachmaninoff created one also, and Hamelin’s version was played here.
@@ginapop7281 You should learn about him. He was Hungarian. Liszt Ferenc. Yeah, he born close to the Austrian border in Doborján, and after WW1 with Trianon that part became part of Austria, and yeah, Liszt is a hungarian name, and austrians don't have sz letter, and yeah, Ferenc and Franz is the same name in hungarian and german translation, and yeah, her mother was austrian and her father Hungarian. And finally, Lina Ramann Franz Liszt als Künstler und Mensch [Liszt Ferenc - a művész és ember] also say he was Hungarian. So take time and effort to learn about him, because he was Hungarian. So please, don't be stupid, learn before comment. And don't forget the part, you listen the "Hungarian Rhapsody" not "Austrian Rhapsody".... Edit: I know I know, the Austrians stole themself the German Ludwig van Beethoven and call him Austrian too, and give the austrian Hitler to germany. Edit2: About Beethoven, I know that the Hungarian Rhapsody part isn't a real argument, as Beethoven himself started working about King Stephen, Op. 117 (König Stephan) and still Beethoven is a german not hungarian, but it still not change the fact that Liszt was hungarian.
@@StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe I would say 50/50. He has an austrian mother and a hungarian father. He was born in then hungary now austria. He said he was hungarian but he learned german way before he learned hungarian. So I think he was both hungarian an austrian somehow. Sorry for my (maybe) bad writing. I live in austria.
Many performers try to rush through the most technical elements of this piece, which is technical and impressive and all that. But you have to appreciate how accentuated, complex and beautiful piece this is when no notes are swallowed, and your brain actually has time to process all the incoming data :) . This is one beautiful performance, Rousseau! Thank you
Horowitz's rendition Ive found was a 100 mph dumpster fire. And people say no it's great just because its Horowitz. Fuck that it was terrible and Lang Lang's version was just as terrible. Rosseau's version didnt have the dynamics as much but outside of a few hard spots where he slowed down it was clean and I appreciate it.
Yeah, there are so many pieces that people always rush when the piece is actually moderato for exemple, or the piece is not so fast but people change de speed, like La Campanella or Fantasie Impromptu, the interpretation is not so fast but there's a lot of people playing so freaking fast, that's so sad and sacrilegious.
Same haha, i was listening to this while doing HW then out of nowhere decide to see how skillful this guy is and BAM Jerry and its cat concerto easter egg haha lovely!
About a year ago, I didn't really know what genre of music I enjoyed, there wasn’t really anything that genuinely intrigued me. I didn't have a favorite song, I wasn't familiar with many famous artists or composers, I generally just wasn't closely connected to the world of music. During my freshman year in high school, I was part of a band with my friends (I played the keyboard). When we decided that we were going to start performing, I started to feel like I had more of a purpose in playing piano other than just playing for fun every once in a while. So, I began playing a lot more consistently and practicing more difficult songs. But, at this time I still wasn't truly “in the music,” I didn't love it enough. One afternoon, my piano teacher showed me this one song during a lesson. I could just tell by the name that it was a classical piece, my least favorite genre of music at the time. After listening to it for about two minutes, we went back to our lesson. I honestly forgot the reason why he wanted to show me the piece, but it didn't exactly interest me in the slightest bit (mainly because I assigned the stereotypes people often associate with "classical music" to it (like “slow,” “boring,” etc.)). After that one particular lesson, I started humming. I didn't recognize what was stuck in my head until I went to my search history on UA-cam. "Nope. No. Not that one-oh wait..." and that was it. The _classical_ song that I had completely forgotten about. *“Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.”* You know what I did then? I clicked on the song again, played it from the beginning, and listened very intently with a clear and curious mind. After I heard the whole piece in its entirety…. Yes, I made the connection that it was _that_ song from Tom and Jerry, but what I truly got out of that experience was an eagerness like no other. The eagerness to explore and completely immerse myself in the world of classical music. From then on, I've been doing just that. I’ve been listening to classical music for hours upon hours each day, I’ve been playing countless classical pieces on the piano (in fact, I’ve been playing so much lately that I developed carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists and fingers :()
I remember that feeling...but I found Dubstep instead, and got the same feeling. I, too, thought about the classical stereotypes, and never listened to it until I found Rachmaninoff's prelude in g minor. I now have an obsession for piano music of all kinds, and am even converting dubstep songs into classical, and vice versa. Really hope Rousseau sees your comment! Have a nice day!
@@entity-hp3xw - I'm glad you found a passion for music as well 😊Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G minor was also one of the many songs that got me addicted to classical music. Thank you!! You too :)
From me being a little kid to 14 I have never heard of classical music. I was always listening to EDM and songs from The Fat Rat and stuff. But one day while I was at my cousins house, my cousin was watching your lie in april. At first, I thought it looked boring but when I watched more of it, they music and story line hooked me. Ever since then, I have never stopped Rewatching your lie in april and never stopped listening to classical music. Classical music is what gives my life meaning... I hope to play as much classical music as I can before my time(currently 16).
@@haruitsuki9929 - I couldn't agree more, I don't know what I'd be doing or how I'd be feeling emotionally right now without classical music. I also used to listen to TheFatRat quite a bit when I was younger :)
I was a young child in the 1940's and my Mom allowed me to listen to this whenever I wished. Our public library had a music room where we were allowed to listen to this and many others.
Well first of all, I found a article a few months back that the great grandson of Franz Liszt plays La Campanella like he intended to play. It's hard to compare, but the pianist in the article (w/ video) played La Campanella similar to Rousseau's, and hand movements are also quite similar. You can try to go look at the article yourself. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=amp.classicfm.com/composers/liszt/great-great-grandson-plays-la-campanella-piano/&ved=2ahUKEwjTn8fc1vjkAhUaPnAKHV6YAdEQFjAHegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw1LdKmgTeeapxNZ6llmMEL7&cf=1
@@greenytoaster oh no, not like a fuzzy prediction. As simple as smart tv or digital music sheet display/monitor. So we have this premade digital music sheet like that one in the video or in any musical instrument games (guitar hero etc) with mp4/avi/etc video format, then we put in inside the built in storage memory thru usb/bluetooth/etc, and have it played like a digitalised music sheet. Someone has to do the harsh job of making the digitalised music sheet tho 😂 But it may also be a good source of money.
6:31 I loved that cameo. Anyone older than 5 knows "Tom and Jerry: The Cat Concerto" which is why I (and millions of others) know and love this song/piece (For all of you overly critical musical technical people), and to include that cameo of the show that made this piece famous is something that Franz Lizst, William Hanna, and Joseph Barbera would be proud of. Thank you. :D Edit: 450 likes?! That’s the most I’ve ever had! Thanks so much y’all! Really means a lot how much my mentioning a cameo and saying my opinion on it can make people laugh and say their own opinions. I know, I know. “Oh stop with the thanking people. It’s annoying.” Let me express my gratitude. It’s better than me just not caring.
You can see the moment the black keys ripped the skin off of my fingers at 10:50 - what a fun cadenza to play on a digital piano ;) Make the pain not be in vain by sharing this video :P Fingers are better now but still healing up, for the first time ever - I'm taking a week off! No video next week but there will be another special one on the 14th!
As I hear this piece, all I can imagine is the cameos, references, and covers that have accompanied this piece's legacy. Who knew one piece would literally be the soundtrack to pop culture? I also LOVE the graphics. It's like watching Guitar Hero for piano!
I can't believe I can witness such skillful playing comfortably sitting in my living room, every time I want, for free. What a time to be alive. Thanks, Rousseau!
Rousseau was the one that inspired me to play piano again, make a channel and motivate to keep going everyday. UA-cam progress might be slow but least i get to do what i love again and share it to more people
It's hard to imagine that anyone would give this a thumbs down. Other than being a complete tool and hating things that are way cooler, there really is no reason to give this a thumbs down. The skill level to play this so well is absolutely insane.

Yeah, he born close to the Austrian border in Doborján, and after WW1 with Trianon that part became part of Austria, and yeah, Liszt is a hungarian name, and austrians don't have sz letter, and yeah, Ferenc and Franz is the same name in hungarian and german translation, and yeah, her mother was austrian and her father Hungarian.
And finally, Lina Ramann Franz Liszt als Künstler und Mensch [Liszt Ferenc - a művész és ember] also say he was Hungarian.
So take time and effort to learn about him, because he was Hungarian.
So please, don't be stupid, learn before comment.
And don't forget the part, you listen the "Hungarian Rhapsody" not "Austrian Rhapsody"....
Edit: I know I know, the Austrians stole themself the German Ludwig van Beethoven and call him Austrian too, and give the austrian Hitler to germany.
Edit2: About Beethoven, I know that the Hungarian Rhapsody part isn't a real argument, as Beethoven himself started working about King Stephen, Op. 117 (König Stephan) and still Beethoven is a german not hungarian, but it still not change the fact that Liszt was hungarian.
@@StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe I would say 50/50. He has an austrian mother and a hungarian father. He was born in then hungary now austria. He said he was hungarian but he learned german way before he learned hungarian. So I think he was both hungarian an austrian somehow. Sorry for my (maybe) bad writing. I live in austria.
6:00 my favorite part
Same here
Think everyone's
I know, right?
Many performers try to rush through the most technical elements of this piece, which is technical and impressive and all that. But you have to appreciate how accentuated, complex and beautiful piece this is when no notes are swallowed, and your brain actually has time to process all the incoming data :) . This is one beautiful performance, Rousseau! Thank you
Horowitz's rendition Ive found was a 100 mph dumpster fire. And people say no it's great just because its Horowitz. Fuck that it was terrible and Lang Lang's version was just as terrible. Rosseau's version didnt have the dynamics as much but outside of a few hard spots where he slowed down it was clean and I appreciate it.
Yeah, there are so many pieces that people always rush when the piece is actually moderato for exemple, or the piece is not so fast but people change de speed, like La Campanella or Fantasie Impromptu, the interpretation is not so fast but there's a lot of people playing so freaking fast, that's so sad and sacrilegious.
@@phosfro9236 they can play it how they want
@@PureReluctance Sure they can, just like people can criticize them for it.

Hhahagaghahahahahahagagagagagagagagagahahahhahh
About a year ago, I didn't really know what genre of music I enjoyed, there wasn’t really anything that genuinely intrigued me. I didn't have a favorite song, I wasn't familiar with many famous artists or composers, I generally just wasn't closely connected to the world of music. During my freshman year in high school, I was part of a band with my friends (I played the keyboard). When we decided that we were going to start performing, I started to feel like I had more of a purpose in playing piano other than just playing for fun every once in a while. So, I began playing a lot more consistently and practicing more difficult songs. But, at this time I still wasn't truly “in the music,” I didn't love it enough.
One afternoon, my piano teacher showed me this one song during a lesson. I could just tell by the name that it was a classical piece, my least favorite genre of music at the time. After listening to it for about two minutes, we went back to our lesson. I honestly forgot the reason why he wanted to show me the piece, but it didn't exactly interest me in the slightest bit (mainly because I assigned the stereotypes people often associate with "classical music" to it (like “slow,” “boring,” etc.)).
After that one particular lesson, I started humming. I didn't recognize what was stuck in my head until I went to my search history on UA-cam. "Nope. No. Not that one-oh wait..." and that was it. The _classical_ song that I had completely forgotten about. *“Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.”* You know what I did then? I clicked on the song again, played it from the beginning, and listened very intently with a clear and curious mind. After I heard the whole piece in its entirety…. Yes, I made the connection that it was _that_ song from Tom and Jerry, but what I truly got out of that experience was an eagerness like no other. The eagerness to explore and completely immerse myself in the world of classical music.
From then on, I've been doing just that. I’ve been listening to classical music for hours upon hours each day, I’ve been playing countless classical pieces on the piano (in fact, I’ve been playing so much lately that I developed carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists and fingers :()
I remember that feeling...but I found Dubstep instead, and got the same feeling. I, too, thought about the classical stereotypes, and never listened to it until I found Rachmaninoff's prelude in g minor. I now have an obsession for piano music of all kinds, and am even converting dubstep songs into classical, and vice versa.
Really hope Rousseau sees your comment! Have a nice day!
@@entity-hp3xw - I'm glad you found a passion for music as well 😊Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G minor was also one of the many songs that got me addicted to classical music.
Thank you!! You too :)
From me being a little kid to 14 I have never heard of classical music. I was always listening to EDM and songs from The Fat Rat and stuff. But one day while I was at my cousins house, my cousin was watching your lie in april. At first, I thought it looked boring but when I watched more of it, they music and story line hooked me. Ever since then, I have never stopped Rewatching your lie in april and never stopped listening to classical music. Classical music is what gives my life meaning... I hope to play as much classical music as I can before my time(currently 16).
Wow sir!
@@haruitsuki9929 - I couldn't agree more, I don't know what I'd be doing or how I'd be feeling emotionally right now without classical music. I also used to listen to TheFatRat quite a bit when I was younger :)
I was a young child in the 1940's and my Mom allowed me to listen to this whenever I wished. Our public library had a music room where we were allowed to listen to this and many others.

At 3mil subs, Rousseau reveals that he's actually Liszt himself.
:DDDDDddd
Rousseau Liszt
Maybe Liszt's abandoned son🤔
Hi
Well first of all, I found a article a few months back that the great grandson of Franz Liszt plays La Campanella like he intended to play. It's hard to compare, but the pianist in the article (w/ video) played La Campanella similar to Rousseau's, and hand movements are also quite similar.
You can try to go look at the article yourself.

@@znoequeenvalentin8373 nah it was a joke. In reality he's known for the most difficult pieces in the repertoire
@@IsaacW. Oh thank u, I can't believe I actually fell for that😂
Don't forget Sergei Rachmaninoff as well. His pieces only take a few weeks to learn, at most.

Are you left handed or right handed?

Four handed.
Nah, six handed.

So we have this premade digital music sheet like that one in the video or in any musical instrument games (guitar hero etc) with mp4/avi/etc video format, then we put in inside the built in storage memory thru usb/bluetooth/etc, and have it played like a digitalised music sheet.
Someone has to do the harsh job of making the digitalised music sheet tho 😂
But it may also be a good source of money.
@@eudoravia7082 interesting
The first five minutes are like attending a funeral. The rest is like finding out you got something great in the will.
6:31 I loved that cameo. Anyone older than 5 knows "Tom and Jerry: The Cat Concerto" which is why I (and millions of others) know and love this song/piece (For all of you overly critical musical technical people), and to include that cameo of the show that made this piece famous is something that Franz Lizst, William Hanna, and Joseph Barbera would be proud of. Thank you. :D
Edit: 450 likes?! That’s the most I’ve ever had! Thanks so much y’all! Really means a lot how much my mentioning a cameo and saying my opinion on it can make people laugh and say their own opinions. I know, I know. “Oh stop with the thanking people. It’s annoying.” Let me express my gratitude. It’s better than me just not caring.
It was a great addition, brought back many fond memories when cartoons actually had music other than generic rock or pop themes.

@NothingWild My homie Franz didn't even need to learn cuz he sold his soul to the devil to get them skillz
Franz Liszt was simply crazy. And in his craziness he composed wonderful music. I love this!
For some reason, Liszt always tries to destroy either the piano or the pianist or both. But of course in a beautifull manner.
True
it's almost always both
Destory with class
For some SEASON*
That's the impression but he wrote more slow gentle music than fast and loud.
To think someone really composed this with ink, paper, and a piano blows my mind.
Franz Lizt composed a lot of insane pieces. Savage
