Outro: Debussy - Clair de Lune
Hello, I'm Rousseau, I make piano covers of classical and pop songs with a reactive visualizer. New videos every Monday!
#Rousseau #Piano #PianoCover
A lot of you have been asking for more Debussy, so here is Arabesque No. 1! I want to thank everyone for their support recently, we just hit 1,000,000 channel views and are approaching 20k subs. Next week is another pop cover, an arrangement of Post Malone's 'I Fall Apart', what would you like to hear me perform?
Rousseau Maybe Star Trek - Voyager Theme
Debussy rêverie ? Ahaha i think its à nice choisir for you and us ^^
I would like to hear you perform Chopin's "Wrong Note". A beautiful and singular piece. Keep up the good work
I would like you to play the Gravity Falls theme song, pleaeeeeeaaase
Rachmaninoffs Etudes Tableaux Op33 No9 Is a very dramatic piece with a considerably hard left hand playing throughout the whole piece but definitely check it out and make a video on it if you want
4:27 descending melody kills me every time, amazing.
Max Spencer every time I hear I feel like I’m in a beautiful reef with all the fish swimming by
FR
It's like water flowing dog. Shits beautiful.
good to see that we re not alone

I always wonder what someone like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, etc. would think if they heard pieces like this. Guys like Debussy took the piano to such greater heights of expression over pure virtuosity.
I mean they mightve thought it sounded good but it breaks all their composing rules since during the classical and baroque period there were very strict rules composers followed, or the public would think the piece was weird and not normal
Ig they would criticize it. Idk why
@@hardikdua8123 I know why, it's because this type of writing was musical taboo in their era. Many of these chords, rhythms, melodies, would be all too foreign for their ears. It's like how older critics initially criticized the Beatles.
@@Hobie02425 exactly my thought but a bit well put✨
@@Hobie02425 eh, this being a very tonal and relatively conventional piece of his, I don’t think they would have received this nearly so poorly as you imagine. Most famous composers were hardly “conservative” types. They pushed boundaries. They were all ahead of their time in some aspect or another.
I practice Arabesque almost every day. This is so difficult. When I play it, I'm very tired. But I will never give up to play this song.
*!!!!WHAT A NICE SONG!!!!*
m4send Me Wow! Me too. I’ve been practicing this piece for a month now...
The 2 to 3 is killing me lol but doable
Piece*
Its a piece!
I was able to play it perfectly after 3 weeks to one month, its hard, but there are pieces that are much harder.
0:01 since the start this song is beautiful.

As a kid, my old keyboard had a function that was able to teach me how to play songs, and this was one of them. I remember practicing for so long trying to learn it. I only got down about a quarter of the song, but I would listen to it over and over again, I thought it was the most beautiful song... and to this day it gives me great childhood memories
wait that sounds so cool-
@@louise4815 OH MY GOODNESS YES I THINK WE DID I DID MAPLE LEAF RAG TOO AHHHHH
@@louise4815 lmao wait I had that piano too 😱😱 and it had fur Elise
It was from the demo songs in my electric piano that I found out about arabesque no.1. What a beautiful accident.
that's nice actually.
i can't read sheet music currently, so i have to learn it either by ear, watch someone else play it, or look at a MIDI visualizer. do you by any chance remember the keyboard that had that function?
My dream is to play this one day
dreams dont come true if you dont try
Irodragon so true 👌
But.... it's the internet.... the internet is playing this for you...

The last arpeggios at the end from 4:12 forward in my mind are one of the most beautiful resolutions / endings to any classical piano piece ever.
My thoughts exactly. I’m no expert but I’ve always had a natural skill at piano by watching videos. And my entire life of any song I’ve ever heard, this is my all time favorite solo piano piece of all. Also enjoy chilly Gonzales a lot(when it’s just piano)
I feel like Debussy truly accomplished a really beautifull consistency in this piece. I've noticed he only uses several note combinations only those that truly fit eachother in more situations other notes combined tent to do. I think because of this consistency of the same kind of smoothness throughout the whole piece he is able to fully get anyone really listening to this piece a relaxed mind. Especially in the silence as soon as the piece has been played.
I composed this better and harder than Claire de Lune
_stares angrily at Pour Le Piano Prelude_
@@hdqjafjagkanqncanagnan649 😂😂😂
O mito passando por aqui🤣😂
Claire de lunes Is harder tho man haha
You are not the real Claude Debussy he is french and it's Clair without an E
3:59 One of the most sentimental melodies I've ever heard. :'')
ya
True
My favorite part of the whole piece!
you should listen to chopin etude op10 n3
There is way more sentimental
If debussy was alive right now I would have so many questions to ask him. Debussy has really inspired me to do what I want to do. Be a composer. I will strive to play like he once did.
My favourite piano piece, it sounds just like the stream flowing and the clouds floating which brings relief and pleasure.
Only a genius like Debussy could compose such ethereal joy. Like a day on a Greek Island with soft ocean breezes caressing the sunshine
Maybe some Chopin next? Fantaisie impromptu would be fun to watch
Oh boi, by the end his hands will look like is he was *chopin* stuff and chopped his hands off......
Im sorry, that prob wasn't funny or made sense. Love ur channel meeseeks :3
Hey, thanks, Marquizo ^^
Yes!
Definitely
Nono Fantaise Impromptu is way too overplayed imo,althuogh it's beautiful.
I too think Chopin would be great,but I prefer a different famous piece (and it's not like there aren't enough :P )
One of my favorite songs to play on piano! Debussy and Satie are 2 of my favorite French composers. Beautifully played! 😊
this and clair de lune is best
Debussy and Satie are amazing. I am especially fond of Satie
They were both friends and admired each others work greatly, just a cool little fact.
this is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard it just invokes emotion
*Piece
@@peterdurairaj8890pieces* 🤓
you're so fluid with this piece it almost feels like i could just play it
Yeah right? I'm practising this rn and it's a lot harder than you think to get the right dynamics
@@levinko5291 better to learn the notes first and then add in the dynamics and other stuff
@@baldmista1907 For me, it was a simultaneous process of both. But yeah, it's always better to know the notes first so you can focus on the harder rhythms. I played it at a concert and it was a great success :)
1:14 that piano 🔥🔥
I am so glad you are putting out more pieces from debussy:) beautifully played!
Feels so far away but also so close to my heart
Whoo hooo I just played this at a concert perfectly!!!!
Congrats man 🎉
Niiiice
Meeen, i was watching spider man far from home and this scene in the hotel with the piano guy reminded me of this video, amazing work Rosseau beautiful playing
I've been playing Arabesque, which is my favorite piano music, for like 4 years but I'm still in haste. After watching this video I realize this is how I should've been playing. Good inspiration 👍🏻
I love this
The whole part at 1:37 makes me cry
yu - vi finally thank you someone appreciates that part
Learning this piece. Glad my piano teacher picked this for me
oh wow same haha my piano teacher just picked it for me and I'm struggling but it's an amazing piece so I'm not going to give up lol
Same! ^^

Your channel is so helpful!!! I have been playing piano for roughly 11 years now and all of my teachers have shoved down my throat that "learning by ear was wrong" and that "sight-reading is the only way to properly learn a piece". I have taken my fair share of theory, I can read fairly well but I still just never quite get the piece under my fingers without listening to someone else playing it first. Now that I'm a bit older and can think for myself, I have found a teacher that is not only ok with the fact I enjoy learning by ear, but encourages it! I still have the music in front of me, but also my laptop right there with your channel!! You have helped me through hundreds of pieces and performances I can't begin to thank you!! If it wasn't for your channel, I probably wouldn't be pursuing a career in piano. Thank you so much. :)
i learn by sight reading, but i think it’s absolutely necessary to listen to the piece first. i’ve been playing for 9 years and i haven’t learned a song without first knowing what it sounds like since back when i did alfred learning books- it’s so much easier, even though i don’t play by ear
If you really understand music, then the written music gives you the information you need to hear it. It was never supposed to replace hearing the structures and harmonies, it was supposed to give you the informatino you needed to do that. But someone we've lost sight of that
Unica!!...sin ser experto en musica clasica,esta melodia es verdaderamente bella!!
Me recuerda el pasar de los años,los que ya no estan.
Dulce legado eterno de Debussy
oye es cierto
1:10-1:37 for me the best part of this piece. makes me feel like im in the most beautiful dream i ve ever been
I close my eyes and see my most precious memory...

This piece reminds me that we all have a beautiful story. And that's enough to justify our existence.
I will play this one day! Mark my words.
Debussy 🤤🤤🤤🤤
2:21 fox's intro XD
Fox News???
Me sees him play: Aye I can do that it seems really simple!
Me when I get around looking at it: Aye bruh imma head out now.
I think you're the first 2 days ago comment I see that is not about the Xing Xong shit
Yay, you watch Your Lie in April?
At 1:36 it is the best part... I just love that part.
I can't be the only one who thinks Debussy's pieces just have a Debussy feel.
Zak Van Tuyl Debussy has an entire genre of classical music essentially all to himself. It’s Impressionistic Classical if you want to do some research. Long story short it’s the classical music from the late 1800 in France.
Twoset!!
Just to make their presence felt in the classical music world
And of course, get ton loads of likes ;)

It’s been years. And I’m still crying like a baby since the first time I heard this piece.
I don't know why its so hard for me to keep the tempo of that iconic descending bit while keeping the left hand on pace.
Thank youu Taetae for bring me here 💜
Esta pieza es maravillosa!! Tiene algo especial que toca las fibras del alma. Cada vez que la escucho desata en mí innumerables recuerdos de mi adolescencia❤ Gracias y que Dios bendiga tan extraordinario talento.🙏💕
I know it’s a bit selfish, but can someone please take a few minutes of their time to read this? I’m sorry but thank you so much.
In 7th grade, I was the quiet girl, who did not know about the latest trends, who wasn’t on instagram or didn’t have tiktok. Had a few friends, but always felt disconnected. My life was kinda monotonous. I was on the girls basketball team, but I felt left out there, too. Stuff was going on at home too, and I hated myself. Honestly, if someone asked me to jump off a cliff right then, maybe I would have. But I loved one thing, piano. Oh yeah, there were some other Asian kids who played, but it wasn’t like I could just go up to them and say I played too, that is a death trap. But there was one person-my applied engineering teacher. I remember she found out somehow (i don’t remember how) and told me she played too. She told me she played in the choir room every day during lunch, and said I could join her anytime. So I did. And I did it every day after that. She played classical piano, which I didn’t, I mostly played….(anime openings and Kpop lol, don’t judge, I am self taught) other stuff. And she played this piece. She said she was still learning it, and asked me if I wanted to learn too. I said okay. And I learned it. Every day, I came to school to show her how much I’d learned, and she would be so happy. I would too.
But then I moved. Like, suddenly, out of nowhere. It’d just been a few weeks since we met, and I remember seeing the sadness on her face when I told her I was moving. I was sad too. But even after I moved, I continued learning this piece. And it was the first classical piece I’d learned. Yes, I finished learning it. Now I’m in high school, and it’s been a year or two since I played that piece. I just remember it now, and the nostalgia is flooding back, so I’m relearning it. Mrs. Song, if you’re reading this, thank you so much. I did not forget you. You made middle school so much better. Thank you :)
Sublime! Take care, wherever you are :)
What a beautiful story. I hope you continue playing
@@alexpt_ thank you :)

When i was 10, my teacher taught me this piece and told me not to forgot this in the future,... Now I still remember arabesque, but dunno why she said that
and also, that was my last piano lesson....
why did you stop?
I LOVE THIS. i rewatch this every other day i love the way you play
Wow that was beautiful. Thanks.
One of the prettiest classical music songs to me..its really beautiful and very romantic
Man i rlly hope to play this piece one day. Maybe adter a yr or 2 i will come back and see this comment, cuz i absolutely love this piece. I hope i can update this comment if i ever get to start learning it hehe
Amazing work
I learned this song last year, and I’m never going to let myself forget it. Beautiful piece.
bruh its still a piece

The beggining of this song reminded me of a song from final fantasy V, after many minutes searching I finally found:
FFV - Fate In Haze!
Wow! You're an amazing pianist. I wish I had your skills😄
The use of whole tone scales and major thirds is what makes him stand out of the pack. Beautiful creations by Debussy! 👍
Im learning this in tribute of our lost member, pink guy, who went on to be one of the most influential musicians out there.
sickk. this was amazing. maybe some more Rachmaninoff?
Definitely!
Rousseau yay looking forward to it!!
Prelude in G minor would be nice
or some lesser-known pieces as well? the prelude in Gm is a little overplayed lol
soz if it’s inappropriate but you’re good looking I had to say it 😬ajshshajfjf
This is one of my current favorites to play. I am not up to speed yet, but it’s just so beautiful I could play it all day.
1:14 that piano 🔥
One of my favorite compositions of all time
the polyrithmn just burn my brain :'v
I like the way you are in easy mode.
I think he meant that it's easy for rousseau to play compared to what he's seen before. It's a compliment.
Not Jerrett - And I find your comment quite unnecessary and condescending. This piece is fairly easy in comparison to what Rousseau has played before and is easy for pianists at or above his level, thus there is more relaxation in playing. That does not mean they think less of it or that it has inherently less value.
no. i have a keyboard that says where I need to press like him in easy mode. Maybe you should learn a sense of humour before commenting? Just an idea...
The Jacman not saying your wrong but where does it say that?
my Casio keyboard lights up where i must press, i can flawlessly do Oh my Donald had a farm now.
Man this music is so beautiful😌😌
i dont know how but it always gives me a warmheart feeling so welcomed and loved
Guys, after four months of practice and study I played this piece for my Foster Camp recital! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!
Super, et quelle sensibilité ! Vraiment, Bravo et un immense merci !
This is quickly becoming my favorite song of all time.
To me that is the most beautiful piano piece

She spun and turned, lithe and spry. She spun and turning, danced. See the lines of her neck--the softness of angle along outstretched arms. And her eyes partially closed, trance-like. See too the curve of back the arc of torso. And so she spins, leg behind her straight and strong, toes pointing. She spun and turned, lithe and spry, poised and graceful she, sweet and distant dancer.
i’m here cause taehyung oppa
im learning this but i cant learn anything without hearing it first lol. but this really inspired me i just picked a random piece from my book and didnt know how beautiful this was.
The timings on this are insane

Thank you Rousseau. After 7 months of hard work every day I've finally been able to fully learn this piece, and as someone who's only on the 2nd level of royal conservatory, I feel accomplished. I'll continue listening to your arrangements hopefully learning more.

"So is the melody in the left or in the right hand?"
"Yes."
Juli Fei yes’nt
Me too
For the polyrythmic sections you definitely want the right hand to shine through.
@ red coin, most of the stuff composed for the piano if going to have lots of left and right hand and if it doesn’t I would sound terrible with only treble and no bass
If you really wanna hear left or right hand melodies then chopin ballade 1 (also on the channel) has quite a few

Same here. To me it feels like something wonderful you once had that you now lost and all you're left with is the memory. Its kind of sad and melancholic.
In my opinion Debussy is the greatest composer of his time. Every piece is so wonderful and calming in its way

@@georgemoney6893 did chopin and debussy live in the same period of time?
@@georgemoney6893 no right so please shut up
It's refreshing to see this done at a slower tempo. SO many performances of this piece I feel are horribly rushed. This is one of my favourite renditions!
footballcoreano To each their own, I find this the perfect tempo.
This even feels a little too rushed in some places. They don't hold on the keys long enough before a release, which I feel should be gentler. In my head, it should feel as if the pianist doesn't want to let go, but is forced to continue the song. The notes have to intertwine together, rather than be pushed along.
Definitely Paul Barton's the very best.
You are goddamn right bro.

i dont get it...
Almost 3 years ago, my mother passed away. I was only 12 but I still have so many memories from being with her. One of my memories include her playing this song. She was practically a pro when it came to her piano skill and this was one song she played often. I'm not that good with the piano but someday I'm going to master this song for her. Hopefully I'll be able to play this just as well as she could.
My deepest condolences, I understand how you feel as my mother was also very skilled with the piano and she too passed away when I was very young, she was my first and best teacher. I'm sure your mum is gazing down proudly at you from heaven as you're dedicating your time to learn this piece especially for her. God bless you🙏🏽
So sorry for your loss. Her memory lives on with you. You expressed that beautifully and I know she’s so proud of you everyday.
You would be able to... and then maybe when you meet her up there have a friendly competition
I'm so sorry for your loss. Hope you're well now. BTW it's a piece not a song.
hey, the channel Pianosecrets teaches classical pieces on piano for free, maybe try finding this one there?
