Number 3 technically isn’t “Faded” since there are no lyrics but “Faded” does actually start on piano, so I’ll let it pass. The tune is actually “Fade” and “Faded” is the sung version.
The speed of the music doesnt determine the difficulty. You can learn a piece and practice it until you can play it to its correct speed but other pieces are more technical and difficult to learn and play. Practice babyyyy 40 hours a day

The second one sounded “easy” but man you are not deceiving me the moment you see that second hand arrangement you know the song will be a living hell to learn
The second one is actually really easy though. It's one of the pieces beginner classical pianists generally learn. Very slow, easy rhythm for the most part, the left hand jumps aren't that big, etc. Would definitely recommend learning for a beginner

ugh i remember that when i first heard nocturne i wasn’t nearly skilled enough to play it. i loved it so much, i listened to it over and over again and it quickly became one of my favorite piano pieces, so i decided to buy the sheet music and… oh my god i was so upset haha
I learned nocturne over the course of a few months by following a youtube tutorial called "nocturne op9 no2 explained" or something along those lines. Its a 40ish minute video that goes in depth on both how to play the song, but also the music theory behind it, and techniques for practice. Id reccomend you try that if you really want to try. No sheet music required. Just muscle memory. Practice it enough and itll be hard to forget.
@@smoloreo2410 I learnt this song by ear over the course of 3 years. I remember the first time I finished it without messing up a note. Then came the real learning. The nuances and dynamics are everything in this piece.
I’ve played the first two: PotC can be made to sound harder by just filling out the chords more and playing it fast, the chord progression is actually really easy and predictable so you can play it at whatever speed you want. The Nocturne is one of my favourites to play (thanks Matt Bellamy) and took a good couple of weeks to get the hang of
Totally, im a sax player but also i play the piano, 1 month of practicing to learn the nocturne. And two more weeks to be able to play it with enough speed
I'm positive the reason they address the first song as easy is because of how close the notes are together, plus the repeating notes. It's all a matter of coordination and practice!
Actually you're not really suppose to gain muscle cause then it would mean you contract you're muscles while playing and it's not good. If you're tense and contracted you can't play for a long period of time and risking injuries. That's actually one of the most difficult things to do when learning piano especially if you play at a certain level and the songs are hard and rapid. You should only playing with the weight of your torse, circular movement of the wrists and the attack of your fingers on the note with your arms being completed relax.
@@kylel3784 yeah it's really tough XD I've been playing for 12 years (now it's been 6 years that I haven't play) all of my childhood and teenage years and I had still trouble with it. You really need to do exercise a lot to relax your muscles. If you play and you sense that you're tense you stop right away and take a few second to shake your arm a little and relax. You can do exercise to rotate your wrists and practice putting the weight of your arm only hanging on one finger to strengthen it. There are few tricks but in any case it's still really tough and need years of practice. I'm quite grateful to my professor who taught me classical technics and were very serious with this kind of things so I wouldn't injure myself. If I had learn the piano myself I would never had theses knowledge. It's one thing learning songs with tutorial etc but if you don't have the technics it will be even more tough.
@Epic quicker CR & BS I've recently been practicing the second Hungarian rhapsody's friska until the famous part for about 5 hours a day and I feel this
Yes they are extremely hard. You need great control of left hand and a slightly louder right hand, but when you put them together it feels amazing (based on learning chopins waltz in a flat major)
The chords and main keys are sooo unmatched imo about Nocturne, so it's kinda hard to remember the pattern and sound. It's also hard to synchronize the hand movement like sure it needs a lot of practice aswell as great ears in order to master that. I always though it's very easy to play Nocturne when i first heard that, no cap. But then it's like there way too many different variation of chords. I would avoid wanting to learn Nocturne and play it because non-pianist would probably think it's easy after loads of efforts lmaooo (it can be useful for self improvement though).
My flatmate plays it in guitar and it's always saying to me to play it cause it's easy. Yes I can also play the right hand in piano easily like she does. But it's the left one and playing both at the same time what makes it hard. Edit: oh look there's even a guitar player saying the same in this comment thread
This dude has helped me learn so much, currently practicing Nocturne in E-flat major op.9 no.2 (or for people who don’t know piano pieces the easy but hard one)
Chopin's Nocturne op. 9 no. 2 made me reaaally interested in classical music. I remember hearing it for the first time in Piano Tiles then played the same song for days lol. I was so crazy about it, it's beautiful. However i stopped playing and forgot about it for a while, til I found Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Twoset at YT. Got interested again and found a lot of good music
For me it was op. 25 no. 5, I heard it and thought it was the most beautiful melody I'd ever heard in my life and now I realize I just really love classical piano music and I can't believe how beautiful some of these compositions can sound
This is how I think about classical music: in every age there is good music and bad music. Instead of suffering through the endless Bieber this generation has to offer to maybe find one song you like, why not just listen to a collection of THE GOOD STUFF that people have curated and validated over and over again?
i was trying to learn fantasie impromptu once until i realized it was beyond my level. definitely one of the most deceptively difficult pieces i’ve ever attempted to learn
@@so_much_for_jj yes it is Liszt’s La Campanella, a very very difficult piece that requires the right technique to avoid damage. This piece was originally by Paganini, on the violin,
i played nocturne op 9 no2 for my 7th grade 1st quarter project and boy, learning it in 1 month was too hard since i am self-taught and used youtube tutorials and I was barely able to keep up with normal speed. I remember just winging it and making sure my teacher didnt notice some parts of my presentation where I had horrible timing and pressed the wrong keys. but i think i did well (in my opinion but if an actual pianist saw me play, they'd die cuz of how horrible it was.) and now I only learn memes and fur elise on piano since it's much more easy.
@@tedseb7726 for me, the hard part is the sheer distance between the jumps in the left hand. It’s a lot of movement that sounds easy to the ear but requires a lot of coordination to find the correct jumps and still keep the flow of the right hand melody.
It depends on which pirates of the Caribbean you play. Jarrod Radnich didn’t even record his own arrangement in one tape!! He divided it up into segments then edited them together because it was too difficult to play at the speed he wanted with perfect accuracy. (This is the arrangement I play on my channel)
@@supersonicpigeon Thanks man!! I’m trying to get there. UA-cam is so competitive. Thanks for checking out the video and supporting it. YOU are helping me!
Based on my experience with La Campanella the hardest part about it is playing it on this speed level, but there are pieces which are way harder than it.
The octave variation from La Campanella is the easiest part of that piece. Lol, I remember practicing it and being relieved when I got there because there's no more God damned leaps.
@@nicobent19 Yeah La Companella, originally by Paganini (probably the most challenging violin composer in history) for Violin and Piano then added onto by Liszt (the hardest piano composer in history) is one of the most difficult songs ever written for both musicians.
Keep at it. Your hands will naturally flow the more you play the song, you'll eventually won't even have to think what you're doing anymore by that point (this is coming from someone completely not pro btw).
The last song is Liszt's La Campanella. It is extremely hard. Without the right technique, you risk damaging your arm and hand muscles over time in the process. I know this because This is the piece I am currently playing. I have such small hands though-he's lucky
As a mincraft pvpier who jitters in game i can play the end but the keys i use were hard im using yamaha 125 but still i manage to make my hands get used to the keys
@@wiggitywy3210 La Campanella is a pagini-Liszt grand etude. But it isn’t a transcendental etude. Compare it to mezappa and you will realise that la campanella isn’t the hardest piece in the world. To put it quite frankly, la Campanella is overrated- people think it is the hardest piece yet they haven’t listened to the inner workings of Liszt or Alkan. Only listening to 1 Liszt piece doesn’t mean it’s the only Liszt piece that exists.
@@Jarrell. oh I’m aware that la Campanella isn’t the hardest piece, I was able to play it after a month of practicing it after all, I was just mentioning that it was also by Liszt.
As someone who knows next to nothing of piano, the gist I get from this is that the main difficulty comes from the range of notes, not the amount. Playing 6 different neighbouring notes at high speed seems easier than ones far apart that require full hand/arm movement to go between.
The Pirates of the Caribbean theme is based around 5 chords and it's just those 5 chords in different orders with different rhythms, and since everyone's heard it a lot, someone with a high amount of musical knowledge can easily play it. Me and one of my friends entirely improvised the Pirates of the Caribbean theme in an open day once for our school, me on piano and my mate on trumpet, just out of the fact that we've both been playing music with one another for 6-7 years and know both the song and our instruments well. We also did a few other well known songs and just general improv stuff because once you've done music for a long time and actually get to understand it, the range of music you can produce from a single instrument is baffling.
not exactly, but quite close. claire de lune is difficult to play well as it requires more musicality because of the lack of notes and speed. the last one is just difficult because LOOK AT IT and the easy ones are just the same thing repeated for a bit, all based around the same chords
Yes, but the amount counts too, for example, it's easy to press the wrong keys if they are too crowded together, or your hands are crossed, or you have to play more than 3 notes at the same time with one hand. I'm far from an expert, but i took piano and other music subjects for 5 years. The difficulty in the second one is the jumps on the left hand, it would be hard for me to get used to the "landings", but also the phrasing, the fact that everything has to sound connnected and what is supposed to be loud or quiet, and also coordinating you foot (that one's played with the right foot pedal). English is not my first language and my music related English vocabulary is very poor, sorry.
‘sounds easy’, ‘somewhat difficult’ his ballades and etudes sitting there like:😐 (but I do agree some of music sounds sort of easy, but is hard to play well. like a couple of his mazurkas and preludes for example)
I remember watching Lang Lang play La Campanella live and it was amazing because it's Lang Lang and the piece is one of the hardest to get right. The cleanliness of how he makes the piano sound is so good it sometimes even feels unnatural. If you guys have the chance to watch him live, I 10000000% recommend it, it's literally that good if you like classical
@@octopuszombie8744 have you ever tried playing it? It is very hard to play, what the heck are you on about? Evwn if it's not fucking Rush E, it's still a very hard piece to play.
@@S85B50Engine That is true, it's really hard and all but nowhere as hard as people think it is. There are many more harder pieces in all sorts of different ways. Oh and, yes I did play La Campanella (s. 141, the easier version everyone knows about). It did require a lot of practice but I eventually got it. Not that it's too relevant to what I was just talking about.
It's actually quite easy to play the piano without looking at it once you've memorized the song. (unless you have perfect pitch, you're very good, and have no need to memorize the song)
for those curious, the first is easier cause your hands are staying in range of we’re your playing. The second is harder since your jumping octaves. I’ve had the same experience with Gynopedies no.1
Pieces that sound (Liszt edition): Hard but easy: Standchen Liszt arr. Easy but easy: consolation no.3 Easy but hard: un sospiro Hard but hard: Spanish Rhapsody To all non classicals, you can search all this up on UA-cam with midi file and all, and they're some of Liszt's more digestible pieces compared to others (like feux follets or mazeppa if you're interested) so I think you might enjoy them Edit: to all the people who have been correcting me, Liszt is not a misspelling of list, Liszt is a classical composer, so obviously the names of the compositions are different. This is a list of separate pieces that I think apply. Edit 2: to anyone who can provide a better list, please do and I'll try to edit the original whenever I can Edit 3: since quite a few people seem to have been triggered by the leibstraum no.3 ranking, I hereby make it up to you to decide what goes in its place. You can copy paste the altered list in the replies if you want
@Áron Hódi umm, I know. I said the Liszt edition; as in I'm making a new list but all the pieces are Liszt. I know la campanella, but it's relatively tame in comparison to other Liszt pieces in terms of difficulty. Not to be rude or anything
I remember learning chopin’s nocturne for the first time, my mum commented how i seem to struggle a lot learning that “easy” song. i was in elementary mom and it was not easy i wanna cry
The piano intro to Genesis' "Firth of Fifth" qualifies under the "Sounds hard but is actually easy" category. Granted, it's not for beginners, but having learned the song it's surprising how natural it feels to play, even with it's constant changes in meter and key.
That la Campanella was pretty pretty good tho. I've seen so many people already that can play it really well but only without the jumps in the right hand :( Song just too hard man
The hardest part about piano is the coordination, the “playing different thing on each hand”. And I’m not talking about chord songs like those are pretty simple just hold down a chord and then play the melody on the right hand, most of them anyway.
One does not face much difficulty adapting to the different tasks assigned to each hand until it is in the same time sign .... Polyrhythm is where your brains get tangled
Oh my god that nocturne was seriously more of a pain in the ass to learn than I ever expected it to be. I haven't played for six years until now and I've lost spatial awareness of where they keys are or something lol.
It’s helpful to clarify that easy and hard are relative to performing a piece correctly. A lot of “sounds easy but is hard” songs are not hard note-wise but are hard technique-wise.
Considering myself a so-so player, to hear from this guy that the chopin piece which i happen to play very confidently is hard gives me years of life.
What song was it I still can’t find it after three minutes of searching

I'm positive the reason they address the first song as easy is because of how close the notes are together, plus the repeating notes. It's all a matter of coordination and practice!

You can see all the muscles he’s gained in his arm from the hard fast piano songs
@Epic quicker CR & BS hell yeah
Once I tried to play an hard song for 30 mins and my wrists started to twitch afterwards- was quite scary
Actually you're not really suppose to gain muscle cause then it would mean you contract you're muscles while playing and it's not good. If you're tense and contracted you can't play for a long period of time and risking injuries. That's actually one of the most difficult things to do when learning piano especially if you play at a certain level and the songs are hard and rapid. You should only playing with the weight of your torse, circular movement of the wrists and the attack of your fingers on the note with your arms being completed relax.
@@lilpoo22 yeah trie
@@kylel3784 yeah it's really tough XD I've been playing for 12 years (now it's been 6 years that I haven't play) all of my childhood and teenage years and I had still trouble with it. You really need to do exercise a lot to relax your muscles. If you play and you sense that you're tense you stop right away and take a few second to shake your arm a little and relax. You can do exercise to rotate your wrists and practice putting the weight of your arm only hanging on one finger to strengthen it. There are few tricks but in any case it's still really tough and need years of practice. I'm quite grateful to my professor who taught me classical technics and were very serious with this kind of things so I wouldn't injure myself. If I had learn the piano myself I would never had theses knowledge. It's one thing learning songs with tutorial etc but if you don't have the technics it will be even more tough.
@Epic quicker CR & BS I've recently been practicing the second Hungarian rhapsody's friska until the famous part for about 5 hours a day and I feel this
I never thought Nocture was an easy piece. Well anything with chords sounds hard.
Yes they are extremely hard. You need great control of left hand and a slightly louder right hand, but when you put them together it feels amazing (based on learning chopins waltz in a flat major)
Bruh tf I don’t even play piano I play guitar and nocturne was ez for the first couple parts
@@bermy2225 that's what a non-pianist would say
The chords and main keys are sooo unmatched imo about Nocturne, so it's kinda hard to remember the pattern and sound. It's also hard to synchronize the hand movement like sure it needs a lot of practice aswell as great ears in order to master that. I always though it's very easy to play Nocturne when i first heard that, no cap. But then it's like there way too many different variation of chords. I would avoid wanting to learn Nocturne and play it because non-pianist would probably think it's easy after loads of efforts lmaooo (it can be useful for self improvement though).
My flatmate plays it in guitar and it's always saying to me to play it cause it's easy. Yes I can also play the right hand in piano easily like she does. But it's the left one and playing both at the same time what makes it hard.
Edit: oh look there's even a guitar player saying the same in this comment thread
when the easy songs are actually hard and he is just a skilled pianist:
He is skilled but the ones he calls easy are easier.less hand movement and stuff like that.
”easy but easy”
Me:”yeah I’m pretty sure that’s just easy”
“hard but hard”

E!
Chopin's Nocturne op. 9 no. 2 made me reaaally interested in classical music. I remember hearing it for the first time in Piano Tiles then played the same song for days lol. I was so crazy about it, it's beautiful. However i stopped playing and forgot about it for a while, til I found Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Twoset at YT. Got interested again and found a lot of good music
Op9, damn that’s a long anime
chopin is life
For me it was op. 25 no. 5, I heard it and thought it was the most beautiful melody I'd ever heard in my life and now I realize I just really love classical piano music and I can't believe how beautiful some of these compositions can sound
This is how I think about classical music: in every age there is good music and bad music. Instead of suffering through the endless Bieber this generation has to offer to maybe find one song you like, why not just listen to a collection of THE GOOD STUFF that people have curated and validated over and over again?
I just remembered playing "Faded" and "alone" at my school, with my friends. None of us knew how to play the piano but we still did it lmfao

i played nocturne op 9 no2 for my 7th grade 1st quarter project and boy, learning it in 1 month was too hard since i am self-taught and used youtube tutorials and I was barely able to keep up with normal speed. I remember just winging it and making sure my teacher didnt notice some parts of my presentation where I had horrible timing and pressed the wrong keys. but i think i did well (in my opinion but if an actual pianist saw me play, they'd die cuz of how horrible it was.) and now I only learn memes and fur elise on piano since it's much more easy.
i think what makes nocture op. 9 no
2 (easy but hard) so difficult to play is the gentleness and pure love u have to put into the notes.
true

Yep-that Chopin nocturne is a killer! Beautifully done.
The hard part has to be the spacing and accents is it not? I’m not rlly a pianist so idk.
@@tedseb7726 for me, the hard part is the sheer distance between the jumps in the left hand. It’s a lot of movement that sounds easy to the ear but requires a lot of coordination to find the correct jumps and still keep the flow of the right hand melody.

Based on my experience with La Campanella the hardest part about it is playing it on this speed level, but there are pieces which are way harder than it.
Piano is one of the coolest instruments someone can know how to play. So dope
The octave variation from La Campanella is the easiest part of that piece. Lol, I remember practicing it and being relieved when I got there because there's no more God damned leaps.

The last song is Liszt's La Campanella. It is extremely hard. Without the right technique, you risk damaging your arm and hand muscles over time in the process. I know this because This is the piece I am currently playing. I have such small hands though-he's lucky

@@wiggitywy3210 La Campanella is a pagini-Liszt grand etude. But it isn’t a transcendental etude. Compare it to mezappa and you will realise that la campanella isn’t the hardest piece in the world.

Only listening to 1 Liszt piece doesn’t mean it’s the only Liszt piece that exists.
@@Jarrell. oh I’m aware that la Campanella isn’t the hardest piece, I was able to play it after a month of practicing it after all, I was just mentioning that it was also by Liszt.
Nocturne No 2 in E Flat Major (Chopin),I LOVE it
As someone who knows next to nothing of piano, the gist I get from this is that the main difficulty comes from the range of notes, not the amount. Playing 6 different neighbouring notes at high speed seems easier than ones far apart that require full hand/arm movement to go between.
The Pirates of the Caribbean theme is based around 5 chords and it's just those 5 chords in different orders with different rhythms, and since everyone's heard it a lot, someone with a high amount of musical knowledge can easily play it. Me and one of my friends entirely improvised the Pirates of the Caribbean theme in an open day once for our school, me on piano and my mate on trumpet, just out of the fact that we've both been playing music with one another for 6-7 years and know both the song and our instruments well. We also did a few other well known songs and just general improv stuff because once you've done music for a long time and actually get to understand it, the range of music you can produce from a single instrument is baffling.
not exactly, but quite close. claire de lune is difficult to play well as it requires more musicality because of the lack of notes and speed. the last one is just difficult because LOOK AT IT and the easy ones are just the same thing repeated for a bit, all based around the same chords
@Jonty the easy but hard piece
Yes, but the amount counts too, for example, it's easy to press the wrong keys if they are too crowded together, or your hands are crossed, or you have to play more than 3 notes at the same time with one hand. I'm far from an expert, but i took piano and other music subjects for 5 years. The difficulty in the second one is the jumps on the left hand, it would be hard for me to get used to the "landings", but also the phrasing, the fact that everything has to sound connnected and what is supposed to be loud or quiet, and also coordinating you foot (that one's played with the right foot pedal). English is not my first language and my music related English vocabulary is very poor, sorry.
I mean at a certain point speed does matter but in general you’re correct.
Chopin is the master of writing music that sounds easy but is actually somewhat difficult.
‘sounds easy’, ‘somewhat difficult’
his ballades and etudes sitting there like:😐
(but I do agree some of music sounds sort of easy, but is hard to play well. like a couple of his mazurkas and preludes for example)
However it sounds gorgeous along with easiness)) Chopin is one love in classic music

@@abramalcaraz4028 don't know the number but it's called nocturne

I remember watching Lang Lang play La Campanella live and it was amazing because it's Lang Lang and the piece is one of the hardest to get right.
The cleanliness of how he makes the piano sound is so good it sometimes even feels unnatural.
If you guys have the chance to watch him live, I 10000000% recommend it, it's literally that good if you like classical
No. Lang Lang performed it horribly. La Campanella is really not that bad. Check out other pianists.
@@octopuszombie8744 have you ever tried playing it?

Evwn if it's not fucking Rush E, it's still a very hard piece to play.
@@S85B50Engine That is true, it's really hard and all but nowhere as hard as people think it is. There are many more harder pieces in all sorts of different ways.
Oh and, yes I did play La Campanella (s. 141, the easier version everyone knows about). It did require a lot of practice but I eventually got it. Not that it's too relevant to what I was just talking about.
His attention to the board shows how much focus is needed on hard ones
While everyone’s amazed at Him playing I’m amazed at how he’s not looking at the piano while playing most of them

@@-americanojohajoha-5041 it's the official hardest piano piece (at the moment)
It's actually quite easy to play the piano without looking at it once you've memorized the song. (unless you have perfect pitch, you're very good, and have no need to memorize the song)
You know it's hard when he's not staring at you😂
He plays the last one so perfectly...
You can tell dude gained all that muscle just from playing the piano
for those curious, the first is easier cause your hands are staying in range of we’re your playing. The second is harder since your jumping octaves. I’ve had the same experience with Gynopedies no.1
Can you make more videos like these? Lol I'm kinda obsessed with it.
Pieces that sound (Liszt edition):
Hard but easy: Standchen Liszt arr.
Easy but easy: consolation no.3
Easy but hard: un sospiro
Hard but hard: Spanish Rhapsody
To all non classicals, you can search all this up on UA-cam with midi file and all, and they're some of Liszt's more digestible pieces compared to others (like feux follets or mazeppa if you're interested) so I think you might enjoy them
Edit: to all the people who have been correcting me, Liszt is not a misspelling of list, Liszt is a classical composer, so obviously the names of the compositions are different. This is a list of separate pieces that I think apply.
Edit 2: to anyone who can provide a better list, please do and I'll try to edit the original whenever I can
Edit 3: since quite a few people seem to have been triggered by the leibstraum no.3 ranking, I hereby make it up to you to decide what goes in its place. You can copy paste the altered list in the replies if you want
@Áron Hódi umm, I know. I said the Liszt edition; as in I'm making a new list but all the pieces are Liszt. I know la campanella, but it's relatively tame in comparison to other Liszt pieces in terms of difficulty. Not to be rude or anything

The piano intro to Genesis' "Firth of Fifth" qualifies under the "Sounds hard but is actually easy" category. Granted, it's not for beginners, but having learned the song it's surprising how natural it feels to play, even with it's constant changes in meter and key.

Not the beginning
The hardest part about piano is the coordination, the “playing different thing on each hand”. And I’m not talking about chord songs like those are pretty simple just hold down a chord and then play the melody on the right hand, most of them anyway.
Drums: hold my samba
One does not face much difficulty adapting to the different tasks assigned to each hand until it is in the same time sign .... Polyrhythm is where your brains get tangled
Raindrops is my favorite piano piece ever
Oh my god that nocturne was seriously more of a pain in the ass to learn than I ever expected it to be. I haven't played for six years until now and I've lost spatial awareness of where they keys are or something lol.
I just started it and it has taken me like 2 weeks to get the first 4 bars bejsbsjsnsjs but to be fair I don’t practice often
It’s helpful to clarify that easy and hard are relative to performing a piece correctly. A lot of “sounds easy but is hard” songs are not hard note-wise but are hard technique-wise.
