    Ask and you shall receive, here is Fantaisie-Impromptu by Chopin!! With this piece we are now halfway to 100 videos, I'm truly grateful for you all as a community and love reading your comments on all of my videos - you are the reason Rousseau exists. There is more than one piece of Chopin's where he has taken inspiration from Beethoven, sometimes directly and sometimes subtly, but it's clear he was a great admirer of his works. Can you hear the Moonlight Sonata quote here?

    My Mother was an accomplished pianist. As a child I used to get tired of hearing her play. I didn't realize how difficult and gifted my mother was. She played as well as you. This pierce is known as one of the hardest of piano pieces. She used to tell me she could've been a Concert Pianist. Her Dad kept her from playing in an orchestra. So bad of her Dad. My Mom played beautifully. Then she couldn't, she contracted Rheumatoid Arthritis. What a shame. Made me sad. She's in Heaven now playing her pieces.💝💝💝💝💝💝🐑🐑🕊🕊😘😘🤗🤗🌞🌞🎊🎊🎉🎉💝💝

In term of musicality, fingering and raw difficulty this one is very far from a ballade no 4, prélude op 28 no 16 Hades, Hungarian rhapsody 2, Grand galop chromatique, Mephisto waltz, any transcendental etude, so on and so on. But yeah, it clearly is a difficult piece, I play the piano since 2 years and I won't dare try to learn fantaisie impromptu until a year or two.

    For anyone here researching for school, this information might help. Chopin composed many of his famous works on his death bed and he also asked for the sheet music of those works to be burned (including this one) in his fireplace. He wanted this piece to be burned because he thought the melody sounded a lot like Beethoven's 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata. This piece was published by his friend (who didn't burn the sheet music because he thought that it sounds really good) after he died along with most of his other works, Chopin didn't quite experience the wealth and popularity that Liszt had. Chopin had a very sad life but he made the most beautiful romantic pieces in my opinion. If that bit of information helped you to react to this piece, I'm really glad to help.
    Edit: I just discovered that he actually composed this piece to sound somewhat like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata but not just the 3rd movement. He composed this piece as an improvise of all the movements of Moonlight Sonata (as the name suggests "impromptu"), but he initially wanted it to sound like a piece of its own but he accidentally made it sound a lot like Moonlight Sonata. I personally think that it doesn't sound like the Moonlight Sonata that much, but if Chopin said that the 2 pieces sounds similar then he must be right. Besides, my ears are nowhere perfect and I don't have perfect pitch and I have little to no knowledge about Music Theory. There's also a meaning to the name "fantaisie" but I'm too lazy to research about it.

Put in my best efforts but nope, still failed. You don't have to sympathise me. It isn't the end of the world. We all make mistakes and we learn from them. But I kinda think this is different and I wasted 2 years of life and spent tons of money into this and the results didn't satisfy me.
