The first Chopin Etude on my channel, I'd have nothing less to celebrate 200,000. Thank you all and welcome to all of the new subscribers :D Come chat with me and the community over at my discord server: bit.ly/RousseauDiscord
Do a voice reveal please.
I absolutely love chopin etudes. Can you do op25 n11 and op10 n12 please?!
Please do transcendental etude no. 4 Liszt or Hungarian rhapsody no. 2!
What type of piano is that? It’s so cool.
Why do you torture yourself u absolute legend?

Sorry, I can't play this. My third and fourth hands haven't came in the mail yet.
D34D IN5ID3 Lmaooo
Lol
where do you order them? i think i need some..
chai audios black market
I wouldnt be able to do it with 4 hands as well
At 1:39 is the part where I just feel so happy and my eyes get watery. I think it’s because of the fact that I am already on my path of playing piano by having lessons. Some pieces make me actually cry like Un Sospiro either because they are so beautiful or that I just can’t wait to play them. What appeals to me about this part is that it gets so intense and it kind of sounds like screaming from the higher octave and it just blends in so well. I love your channel so much and I can’t wait for all the other videos you will make
@@blender-chan LMAO
I freaking love this part because it sounds so beautifully chaotic. The tempo can be manipulated at this part to portray an ever rising urgency and a great psychological power. A technique that plays well in pieces like torrent and La Campanella. I’m with you, though. I cannot wait to play this full piece.
what point are you at now in piano?
oh wow I forgot I made this comment
@@rocketscientist9200 well I recently learned the simplified version of Morning by Edvard Grieg which is a 4 page song. I have also made some of my own songs.
Chopin: hahaha this will surely stop any performer in their tracks

*DUUUUUUUUUNNNN*
Also Chopin: wait I never said that
Liszt: well, it was quite a challenge… This is some hard sight reading material!
Chopin at his study: HAHAHAHA LETS SEE THEM PLAY THIS
lmao
Amazing musicians play it successfully.
Chopin: *Surprised pikachu face*
and Liszt sight reads it at full tempo
I'm happy to see that you've gotten monetization finally. You deserve it
He's got ads now, and he didn't have it previously, despite having more than enough subs+views (he also messaged the YT-team on twitter about the fact that channels who steal content have monetization, yet his channel doesn't, which is a fact that I totally agree with).
Wow verified channel
In my perspective this should be called Torment instead of Torrent.
Mate just practice getting tension out of ur fingers cause It will help a lot like warm up on a chromatic scale and don’t try it fast at first go slower and over the get gradually faster :)
@@Shuedami ok i'll try
I learnt this during Lockdown but I can only get through it at 75% speed. Still fun though to play something recognisable!

Reminds me of the scene from Shine where he busts out Flight of the Bumblebee
800th hundred like babyyyyyy
This legit raised my heart beat while listening, absolutely insane how people can play this
I know
I don't understand how people could write pieces like this. People playing it is ridiculous but chopin came up with it
It’s not as difficult as it looks.
@@Tolstoy111damn your skill must be a god. How many years have you been playing piano for?
@@artha1679 I didn’t say I play it at this level. It’s hard but not prohibitively difficult.

"Etude means 'study' . But who would study a piece like this?"
Rousseau would.
Mr. Rousseau
Yousseau wouldn't.
So Etude Op 10 means "study OverPowered 10
Hacks 4 Life etude means “a study” and not “étudier “ as in the verb “to sturdy”
Sry I didn’t mean to ruin your joke
*ahem* It's a piece not a song -triggered-
Yeah, I’ll stick to learning Howl’s Moving Castle for now. I’ll come back to this in maybe about never
You could try Prelude In C-Sharp Minor,I love that one.
some of his nocturnes (particularly the posthumous ones) are as beautiful as they are actually fairly managable, maybe you could start your Chopin journey from there :)
yeah, never sound good to me too
:D i love that song love the movie just watched a couple months back love the song 😊
sup, saw u at idubzz vid lol.
Guys not trying to brag but i can play this peice at 1:54

"Could you get your fingers to move that fast?"
"I can't even get my eyes to move that fast."
Good thing though you got 10 fingers but only 2 eyes. so technically you should be 5 times faster with the fingers. However, the eyes are synced which is why you actually only have 1 focus with the eyes, whereas muscle memory in the fingers is 10 times faster then! Never give up and enjoy the process of building the muscle memory. It is a good mental challenge!
It's songs like this that convince me that Rousseau isn't human.
*piece
Then you realise, someone wrote this...
Did I say it was? I’m just saying it’s ont thing to play it. But to have written it takes a whole level of mastery
@@rendzz444 I too used to be anal about calling things pieces, but honestly if people are listening to them and enjoying it, who cares what they call them. I'd rather classical music doesn't die out.
What is Chopins hardest etude?
Other composers: Hey Chopin, will you put the melody in the right or the left hand in this piece??!
Chopin: Yes of course!
Don't get me started on Bach
1:11 that touch in the left hand is something I appreciate very much
I've been trying so hard to find a person who likes that part too 😂
me: I'm so good at playing the piano
Rousseau:
me: nevermind
*sees your profile picture*
Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well
