Outro: Ravel - Pavane for a Dead Princess (Pavane pour une infante défunte)
Hello, I'm Rousseau, I make piano covers of classical and pop songs with a reactive visualizer. New videos every second Monday!
#Rousseau #Piano #PianoCover
I didn't mention this a few weeks ago, but Rousseau is now over 2 years old!! It's amazing to think how far we've come as a community in that time. I still remember those few weeks before uploading the first video that were filled with a ton of recording. I have not mentioned this before, but the original Clair de lune recording was actually the first video I created, essentially a sight-read test to experiment with video effects. I'll be honest, I was not expecting more than a few thousand views, and as of right now it has now been viewed over 19 million times. That is truly hard to comprehend. Now during lock down, reminiscing on those days, I decided it would be nice to spend a bit more time working on the piece, and remake the video in the 2020 style! I'm sure you'll agree, many things have been refined over those two years - one of the biggest things that stuck out to me was the velocity curves of the piano library being set too strong on the first video, making the recording sound like it's being played at f throughout, along with the color which quite a few people mentioned. I hope this one can be a fresh new take on the piece in this visualization style, that can please both the ears and the eyes :) Wishing you all a happy and healthy Monday, and two weeks ahead ♥
yeet
Rousseau thanks a lot please continue making your videos, making us dreaming and learning piano!!
Nothing Bad, all right
how was the first one sight read holy crap
Rousseau can you play etude no6 from franz liszt or etude no5 from franz liszt
*Imagine how great it is being this guys neighbour*
I can only dream of that
actually it'd suck because learning a song involves repeating the same sequences over and over again
@@eduardobrito3890 I wouldn't mind, I could listen to any section of chopin's etude op25 no5 for days
What if you want to learn piano, too, and would be totally embarrassed cause Rousseau would listen?

there are still people that dont have ad blockers? lmfao why
This song is only 6 minutes but it feels like a lifetime of emotions
To me, this piece illustrates an entire lifetime, notice how its birth and death are similar but not quite, like how an old self is in memory of the younger self, experiencing the similar but different emotions.
I totally agree. We played it at our wedding. It is such an epic piece.
piece*
Piece*
For the subhumans coming to comment *piece i got it after the first comment shut the fuck up
what i love about how rouseeau performed this piece is the lengthy pauses near the end. in those moments, even though the chords are in a major key and sound hopeful, you can hear their sadness. in the quiet moments between the chords you get overflown with such emotion, the sadness and dismay Debussy felt while composing this piece.
Debussy once said that music is the space between the notes, so I think you’re on to something
It's wonderful you picked up on that nuance as well, Debussy once said that "music is the space between notes" and I think your comment describes this perfectly.
Rousseau: *this*
Fans: Ay haven’t you played this befo-
Rousseau: *points gun* You didn’t see anything

At age 16 my grandmother passed away and before she did she asked that i performed her favourite Piece of music. I practiced so much. I have never cried so much because she showed me how much music can really be affected by the human emotions as i listened to it play at her funeral. From then i always remembered that feeling. Rest in peace grandma
I am sorry for your loss. Hope she is proud of you.
Dude im so sorry for your loss, I hope your doing better now
2:16 No matter who the pianist is, beginner, amateur, or advanced. This part always gives me the chills, it always makes me close my eyes and erase everything that I am thinking about. This part will always give me goosebumps till the end of my life.
For me is 2:51 the best part
@@geremiasmaganasantos-pv2pk 2:16 gives more goosebumps, since it's slow and poetic

WUT? Lmao
Those who can play this piece....have a special gift. They can make you cry, reflect on your life.....
...and steal your girl.
I’m gonna start learning this song so
I tried to play this three months ago but it didn’t work so well. Ok in my ears it sounded awful
Just finished learning it

this was the last piece that was played at my best friends funeral. He was only 10 and he died to cancer. I will never forget this piece, I remember it too well. It’s such a beautiful piece and it sticks into me so well. I will also never forget my cousin and how he was so different to everyone else, he would always get into every conversation and make everyone laugh and smile. I’m gonna miss you Charlie.
I’m sorry for your loss
have a good day.
I hope you're doing well now

Anyone else wonder what Rousseau’s third Hand is doing when he doesn’t need it?
and his 4th and 5th hand
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Of course the 3rd 4th and 5th hand is doing the pedals.
obviously touching the Minor.. keys!
Their practicing piano
Have you been practicing more piano during lock down?
Yass alot more
If not, why not... 😡
I got nothing else to do, so yeah
Rousseau yes
I've been trying a lot Ravel, like Jeux d'eau and une barque sur l'ocean. It'd be really cool to see you do one of them!
This song always brings me to years. It reminds me of my sad Depressing life. I'm 82 years old, and I have leaved throughout lots of moments that I just can't forget. I was a violin player in the new York Philharmonic for 20 years. I loved this little butifull piece of music. I cried when I heard it for the first time.
Thanks you all.
no way you’re 82 your pfp
This is among the prettiest music ever written. I've always loved this piece.
I have played piano for 19 years and this is one of my favorite pieces to play.
My father told me this was one of his favorite pieces and I remember just practicing it one day and he gave me $50.
He passed away a year ago and he asked me to play this at his funeral and I did.
I pray that every time I play it that he can hear it.
RIP Dad
Damn dude you came back from the other video rip your dad bro
it reached him , believe that

This was my mother's favorite song she used to play it on the piano. But she's been gone for 30 years.Its so beautiful to listen to, but heart breaking at the same time
How can someone compose something like this... and how can MAN develop the skills necessary to play it... is something that never ceased to amaze me...

People talking about how he has done the same piece twice now. But this performance is magnatudes better than his last perfermance. I wasnt a fan of his first but this one is exceptional. Thanks Rousseau
Gotta agree for sure, this recording is load more expressive and delicate. More in line with how I like it. I admire Rousseau for taking another crack at it, shows he is very self-reflective and willing to improve not just technique but interpretation. Good practice for any artist.
Both are phenomenal...
His first one was a sight-read
same i didnt like the first.
EXCEPTIONAL...?
I almost cried because I had to watch an ad before listening to this
He put his whole Debussy into making this 😔
When the world finally comes to an end, this piece should close out our existence.

Okay
How bout my way by Frank Sinatra
During these tough times I decided to revisit this incredible piece, and make something special for you. Have you been revisiting any pieces you played in the past lately? Or have you been learning something new?
learning liebestraum 3 right now but its tough, especially the cadenzas
Rousseau i learn piano since 6 month so no. But I try to play the 3rd movement of moonhlight sonata differently that what I see geberally
Andrew Bowers me too but it’s hard tho
I’m trying to finish nocturne op9 no2
Actually i've stopped playing the piano for a reason, so.. also this is the piece i played for my last performance. It's.. bringing back memories! XD
Classical music concerts provide a unique opportunity to witness the magic of live orchestral performances. The sight and sound of a symphony orchestra in full flow is a truly unforgettable experience.
This song feels like someone remembering the good times in their life, both happy they had such experiences, but sad that they've come and gone. Bittersweet reflection on a full life.
Clair de Lune is still one of the most beautiful pieces ever written.
I have the hope that one day people, including me, will stop using words like "best", "worst", "ranking" when talking about music. It's almost like they missed the point.
TheAskald to be fair i just think that they are expressing their opinions that they think this one of the best pieces of music they have heard, although it is true that there are no true or best or worst piece in the world
@@TheAskald but not everyone enjoys the same music? Some pieces just ring a little better in different people's minds, which is why they make their own judgement of beauty, good and bad.
yes, Debussy is MY Favorite composer of all time.
Would anyone care to share their favorite music of this variety? I would love to explore the emotion of other people.
This piece is just something else. The feeling it evokes, is indescribable. Ethereal, beautiful and pure emotion. Heard it a hundred times and still not tired of it. Some pieces are just......Timeless.
Couldn't have expressed it better.
This is exactly how i feel looking at the moon. its the closest proof that we are just sitting on a rock floating through space and time. Surreal and Beautiful at the same time
Really is amazing. No words to describe how it makes me feel. Nearly brings me to tears sometimes and I don’t even know why.
Agreed
took the words out of my mouth
Probably one of the greatest things ever composed especially 2:16
Indeed

My uncle was very nice, loved me alot
i remember me sitting on his lap.

I am so sorry for your loss.
May she rest in peace forever with God. She's very proud of you.🙏🏽
I am so sorry for your loss
When I was younger (age 4/5) I was forced into playing piano. I never loved doing it, to be honest. My grandmother used to play the piano and my mother quit when she was young. When my grandmother passed a few years ago, I realized I never got to know her. The piano was one of our connections. I started trying to get more into the piano. I listened to classical music for days, Clair de Lune always being my favorite. Now, I've been learning this song in hopes of connecting with my grandmother once again.
im sorry for your loss, i hope you can connect with her

My grandpa died a couple years ago and when I was driving with my brother and now sister-in-law from the church where we held the funeral to the burial site, this piece started playing in the car. When I heard it, I knew it sounded pretty, but it was so much more than that. This piece really sparked something inside of me, so with my grandma’s help (who’s married to the grandparent that died), I learned Clair de Lune. What I came to realize is that the song is, in a way, representative of a lifetime, whereas in the birth of the piece there are simple, fundamental chords that lay out the trajectory for the rest of the piece. Then the piece goes through puberty and flowers into a fulfillment of its true potential with beautiful and complex chord progressions. The piece then nears its end as it grows old and reflects on life, where it combines the original chords from the beginning of the piece with some chord progressions underneath. Then, the piece goes through a little more reflection and dies. What’s interesting is that I always thought that death was a terrible, morbid thing, yet in this piece, death is presumably bright and happy. I found that the reason death is actually portrayed as such a beautiful thing in this piece is because without death we’d always have tomorrow to do what’s important, to grow our relationships, to involve ourselves in a rich and meaningful life. But someday there won’t be a tomorrow, so we need to do what’s important now. I finally found peace in the eternal rest of my grandfather, for, just as the light of the moon is the greatness that can be found in the death of the day, all of the great things I can love about not only my grandpa but all of this universe is found through the inevitable end to our lives. Thanks, Debussy, for showing me that death is just as necessary as it is beautiful.
I've already commented this on one of Charles Cornell's videos but I figured I may as well share it here too.
Also I changed everywhere that I wrote "song" to "piece." You're welcome.
Peter Liechty this is beautiful.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful message, and I may not be religious but god bless you and your grandpa and grandma.
Wow. That touched my Heart. Thank you for sharing These beautiful sentences! I whish you and all of you the best in the World. God bless you all! I'm speechless. Thank you so much for sharing your Emotions.
thanks for this message
It's a piece man
i’ve learned up to 1:18 so far, y’all wish me luck on the rest of the song
edit: i’ve quit learning this since school is back in session (i’m juggling ap classes and focusing more on clarinet for band), but thanks for all the support guys.
Pretty much the same for me, I'm gonna start the arpeggios but it seems to be hard (it's my first real piano piece) how is it for you?
theo lephay a lot of the arpeggios are very organized in structure and not as random and spontaneous as it seems. Once you get the general patterns down it’s mostly rinse repeat
I just made it too 2:00 minutes so far! Real excited to get on to this next part, it’s tough but we’ll get it done! Keep it up!
that’s amazing! great job! :D
I just made it to 1:37 today 😔 I just finished fur Elise and I’m doing arpeggio exercises everyday for this song
I love debussy's and satie's relaxing piano. Uh, just beautiful!
One of the best classical piano pieces of all time
This song is the first thing I ever learned to play on the piano...my father taught me..I was 7 years old and am now 73 and still play it and think of my father every time, he passed in 1994. I have never taken a music lesson in my life, my father taught me all I know, he was a fantastic Pianist

At 64 I've never listened to any classical music because it never made me feel anything. After hearing this piece I knew there are some things that can just change you in an instant.
This majestic piece is the one that I played for my Grandpa last year because he loved it so much. He recently passed away, so now I play this piece to cope with my sadness. How the tables have turned.
Same with me but the piece i play is loves sorrow - Kreisler arranged by Rachmaninoff

This piece is so touching. Literally has me in tears, so beautiful.
I'm 70 and in my 7th year with the piano. Would that I had started a LOT sooner....but there ya have it. Been butchering this piece for the past few months. To say my progress has been plodding would be understating it. I would LOVE to able to play this and do it some kind of justice. That may never happen....but there's only way to find out, no? This guy knocks it out of the park. Fabulous rendition. Fabulous piece of music.
However you play it will be exactly as it should be :) That's the wonderful thing about music. Best of luck.

True. Anybody can play notes. It takes talent to MAKE MUSIC.
Well said. 👏😌
pretty sure the fingers help
@@phatcat3705 you know playing notes is the foundation of every song and it takes a lot of skill by itself. Also people say rousseau isn't even good at interpretation, that they play like a robot, which I don't agree with but I can kinda see why they think so, it's just calm playing
I remember first hearing this piece on the list of set pieces on my old e-piano. I loved listening to it at the time, but I never knew what it was called. For hours, I’d sit by the piano with my head on the keys like any other kid and sometimes fall asleep when it was late enough. My mom had sometimes walked in on me staring into the air with my ears open to it. Playing the first few notes, she had told me to play it to her when I had learnt it fully. When I tried learning from the beginning, I stumbled across Rousseau’s original performance on Clair de Lune and it was still always on repeat for me. Regardless of how impossible it felt to play, my infatuation with it fuelled my practice.
That was 3 years ago.
My mom passed away back in 2018 from breast cancer. I never learned the piece fast enough to play it to her. I’ve always regretted missing the last chance to see her in person at the airport, where she left for her final treatment abroad. Since her passing, I’ve put off learning the piece.
I understand the “story of life”-like experience most people feel when listening to Clair de Lune. It is undoubtedly a beautiful piece, and one of my tied favourites, but it has many other different feelings attached with it. Sometimes it fills me with bliss and bittersweet release. Other times it’s deep regret and self-frustration.
I haven’t heard it in quite a while though, and since I’ve put learning it off, I’ve lost almost half of my progress. I’m not sure how, but I’ll try redeeming it back.
Maybe she could still hear it from up there.

This song is absolutely worth the struggle of learning. Thank you for this video, it's really helped me clarify many hard parts of the song on sheet music and your playing is just awesome.
How's it going?!
How's it going?
@@saraicoreadiaz7567 I did it :) I can play the whole song, memorized, and it gives me SO MUCH HAPPINESS. It taught me tons of new skills. I feel like I'm finally "good" at piano. Good luck!! You can do it!
when you really want something, you can.
@@jennifers6560 no if you can play this you are amazing at piano!!!! CONGRATS!
Beautiful. I will keep coming back whenever I need to hear this melody
literally, my comfort piece.
Imagine being this guys neighbor, it would be so annoying!
I'd have to stop what I was doing and listen everytime.

The echo in the recording makes the piano sound absolutely ethereal, especially at the beginning. So beautiful....
"I love seeing the expressions people make when they're enjoying themselves. That's why I play piano... To see the smiles on everyone's faces. And that's why we need to expose the mastermind and end this dumb killing game! So we can smile with everyone else!"

This is in my opinion the greatest piece of music ever composed. I know that’s high praise, and a million other songs could easily be awarded that title. But this song represents everything that is beautiful about the world. It feels like true comfort and serenity. It’s not soft all the way through, but even as it swells, it still feels comforting. It’s a song that I can sit down and just listen to, and let myself feel the rush of emotion go through me. It feels like being at one with the world around me. This piece feels like the world is singing a song, and we’re finally listening.
The Evil Within introduced me to this masterpiece, then I started loving classical music as a genre
eehhh... This is classified as Modern... but okay.
You again
Same here, mate. Whenever you heard this song in the TEW games, you knew you were safe for a minute. Well... actually, you knew there was a 50/50 chance that there was going to be a terrifying boss battle ahead (for a first-time player, at least) and that you'd better just spend some green gel, cash in any keys, and save your game before moving on because there was no telling when you'd be able to again.
I've just wrapped up the TEW2 in the wee hours of this morning. While I think both games are excellent, I swear, I'm starting to notice an unfortunate trend in horror games. Take Dead Space 1 and 2, for example (we don't talk about DS3 ever). The first DS game was pure horror with less focus on the underlying mechanics. DS2 improved on the gamplay mechanics but seemed to lose some of the first game's horror identity as it moved towards a more action-y style. The same thing with TEW, it seems. The second game was ridiculously easy even on Nightmare, although, I did appreciate the Void-like environmental design over that of the first game. (Void = Dishonored reference, floating "islands" in the sky, things frozen in time and space, etc.)
Still, I love them all (Except DS3. We don't talk about that one).
Same for me also
The keys don't light up, that's magic leaving his fingertips.
You say that as if it were possible for those fingers to lose magic
Lol
my new year’s resolution is to learn this song
Listening to this whilst sleeping in the Lodge high in the mountains is probably one of the best things I have experienced.
and for 6 minutes, everything was ok...
Joseph Schaab so, play it again
5 minutes 52 seconds actually
What were you doing for 8 seconds weirdo
Chandler B. savoring the memory
breadwhore lol i must agree
Love the softer tone of this version. Felt the first one was constantly played with the same strength with no dynamics. This one is beautiful.
This would make someone fall asleep and float in sleep 😌😌
This song makes me feel like everything is going to be ok..🤍
you're clair de-lusional if you don't love this
you mean light of the lusional
Ugh...
And it was in this position that I resigned to the fact that I must like your comment.
Haha puns
you’re a clair de lunatic
Hi, I'm the guy without the piano:
This year I tried to master this song, and I was very close to the end, but then the virus arrived and I'm going to lose all the manuality😄. Hope it will finish soon.
A huge 1 meter distance hug from Italy
Virtual hug for you too. Hope you are all well.
Frans Norway sending virtual lockdown hugs as well, glad this video can bring people together during this time
Anche a te
A hug for you too from Brazil, God bless you all
I was inspired by this. I can finally play it. It was like impossible at the start. Believe in yourself. It is actually not hard once you get there. It took me less than 3 months. Just be persistent and keep practising over and over and over again. It is amazing once you are there. Don't give up!
Rousseau,you play very well. Keep going
