    4 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!! It’s hard to believe that only 3 years ago, I was posting the first video on this channel, curious if anyone would be interested in watching it. Now, here you all are. There’s no piece I’d rather celebrate 4M subscribers with than Chopin’s Ballade No. 4, a masterclass in romantic writing and one of his finest works. Thank you for being here with me on this journey, I hope you have a wonderful Thursday

    We don't know why Rousseau has been away. But regardless of whether he has lost interest in TH-cam or has some life circumstances to work out, I don't think he owes the world any more videos. He's probably spent countless hours recording classical and pop repertoire, and the least we could do is treasure it.
    Edit: He’s back

      @@thomasrieding8529 I think the reason he stopped is that TH-cam has terrible copyright policies. Rousseau was getting copyright strikes for interpretations of pieces in the public domain because there were other interpretations on TH-cam and TH-cam basically acted as though those other interpretations were the original.
      Classical music content creators are pretty much screwed and receive little from monetization of videos.

    I don’t think people understand that this man has already probably played his entire repertoire of piano pieces, and learning new ones, mastering them to the point of being able to post it onto TH-cam where millions will see it, takes months to learn. More so classical pieces. It’s the sad truth, but this’ll probably be how Rousseau will continue to upload

    Chopin’s ballades require much dedication to learn, one must have much determination to master it. The longest ballade among the 4, is 12 minutes long. The first theme undergoes four cumulative transformations and lot of decorations, while the development of 2nd theme heightens the music’s texture and complexity. Overall, an amazing masterpiece by Chopin, how a mere mortal created this, still makes me wonder 🥺🥺

    This is his 4 Mil special video. He is now on he’s way to 5 Mil without uploading a single new video since this one. This truly shows his immense talent and skill. Wherever he may be and whatever he may do. No one else on the internet can play like this. The perfection, emotion and pauses… I can’t even express how inspiring he is, but I don’t need to either. The fact that he almost have 5 mil is the proof of what he gives to the world.

      It's funny that you said "cohesive", because I was just debating someone the other day over whether Ballade No. 1 or No. 4 was the better piece. While No. 1 is amazing (and yes, I think it shines brighter than No. 4 in many places), and while every...single....one of the sections in it are amazing, they are not tied together quite as well as the pieces of No. 4. If that makes sense. In some ways, No. 1 is more of a rhapsody. No. 4 is indeed, by modern musical standards, more consistent thematically...more "cohesive".

    When I listen to Bach I see someone with culture, a man who fights against ignorance.
    When I listen to Mozart I see someone with natural talent, an indisputable genius.
    When I listen to Beethoven I see someone fearful, who fights against fate.
    But when I listen to Chopin... I see a tormented man, someone who suffers, and who through his works tries to comfort himself. As if with these melodies he was trying to tell himself that yes, that life is not fair, but giving up will not change anything, it will continue its course and it is better to continue. When I listen to Chopin I see myself.

Trust me on what im gonna say next: "He has done more pieces than any piano player. He deserves a break." So just feeling bad for him is just gonna be dumb(He posted it in twitter and in his community tab)(He also might be preparing for an extremly hard piece Like Wilde Jagd or Appassionata. I really want to see his version). So mystery solved Hope you guys are happy now! ( :-D )

      never gonna give you up...
      We're no strangers to love
      You know the rules and so do I
      A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
      You wouldn't get this from any other guy
      I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
      Gotta make you understand
      Never gonna give you up
      Never gonna let you down
      Never gonna run around and desert you
      Never gonna make you cry
      Never gonna say goodbye
      Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
      We've known each other for so long
      Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
      Inside we both know what's been going on
      We know the game and we're gonna play it
      And if you ask me how I'm feeling
      Don't tell me you're too blind to see
      Never gonna give you up
      Never gonna let you down
      Never gonna run around and desert you
      Never gonna make you cry
      Never gonna say goodbye
      Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
      Never gonna give you up
      Never gonna let you down
      Never gonna run around and desert you
      Never gonna make you cry
      Never gonna say goodbye
      Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
      Never gonna give, never gonna give
      (Give you up)
      We've known each other for so long
      Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
      Inside we both know what's been going on
      We know the game and we're gonna play it
      I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
      Gotta make you understand
      Never gonna give you up
      Never gonna let you down
      Never gonna run around and desert you
      Never gonna make you cry
      Never gonna say goodbye
      Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
      Never gonna give you up
      Never gonna let you down
      Never gonna run around and desert you
      Never gonna make you cry
      Never gonna say goodbye
      Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
      Never gonna give you up

    Rousseau!! I doubt you will see this but, I’ve been playing for about a year now, and looking back, without all of these videos you put up I probably wouldn’t have made nearly as much progress, maybe even quit. Because every day I can watch these videos and think to myself, I’m gonna play that one day. This really motivates me! And I just wanted to give an extra thanks to you because you gave me and tons of people extra motivation, and I know these pieces can take months to perfect, so doing that must be very stressful “just for TH-cam.” But never forget this isn’t just for TH-cam, it’s for millions of people you inspire. These months of work will turn into years, decades, of people playing these same pieces because of your help! If it weren’t for me writing this message while listening to this beautiful piece maybe I wouldn’t be teary eyed. Thank you, Rousseau!

    When I hear ballade I don't think of Ballade No 1 in G minor, I think Ballade No 4. I don't think of an extremely hard piece, I think of a piece that is extremely magical and expressive. I think of a masterpiece. Truly, Chopin's sets are something else. Don't even get me started with the Scherzos.

      I love all 4 of the ballades. What I find interesting about this set is that all of them are so unique and all shine in their own way. I see the fourth as a beautiful story written in music, its probably the most emotional of the ballades but it couldn't match the 2nd ballade in dramaticism, and I feel like the 1st shows a much bigger range of sounds and colors the piano can produce.
