Hope you enjoy my performance of Debussy's Reflets dans l'eau, from the first book of Images.
Outro: Liszt - Un Sospiro
Hello, I'm Rousseau, I make piano covers of classical and pop songs with a reactive visualizer. New videos every Monday and Thursday!
#Rousseau #Piano #PianoCover - เพลง
Reflets dans l'eau - in English, "Reflections in the water", one of Debussy's most spectacular concert works, and one of the best examples of his structural marvel. Starting off his Images, this piece contains some of the most vivid imagery of water in the entire piano repertoire, you can really hear all of the ripples and waves. The original (and forever lost) version of this piece was scrapped by Debussy, and he ended up rewriting the entire thing again in only three days - I can't help be fascinated at how that original version sounded, but we will never know. Hope you have a great week ♥
Rousseau could you do a Lion King Cover please?
Please do reverie next!

Rousseau This was beautifully played! I was so excited for this piece. Thank you for performing this.
me: i can try this
arpeggios: no you can't
me: no i can't
Me: yes you can!
Me: I am unable to can play this
Practice 40 hrs

Anyone can. It takes at least 5 years to play Debussy, though

1000% not john cage
@Marianne Debussy said this, I am sure!
@Marianne Yep Mozart say that too
i feel like whenever he posts stuff all ppl do is give him requests instead of reacting to the piece he prepared for us lol :/
thank you for acknowledging this, it's not just with Rousseau, even with non music related stuff, people always ask for more, they don't appreciate the work that's been done for them
It’s the result of depending on falling notes to attract viewers instead of winning competitions and working much harder for similar results
@@TF2Starlightimagine saying he isnt working hard enough. i dont see you practicing to play a piece for hours a day AND editing the videos.
and really? downplaying a beautiful visualization of the music being played as just some shiny "falling notes"? cant you just, idk, appreciate the art?
@@knopfir their playing isn’t anything special in comparison with the Chopin competition players, after many years of listening carefully those kids have significantly more color, granted there is an electric vs grand comparison, but that’s besides the point since the views should be based objectively on sound output from your speakers to your ears. So yes, their fame/views are mostly from the falling notes instead of the production of better music which overinflated their view count. Not to discredit their playing but I don’t think their music eyes closed justifies the view count.
In terms of working on visualization, it’s more of a tedious construction of rendering which is more like construction work than rocket science, except that your construction work is taken over by ai and you you need to do is sit on your ass and eat food.
@@TF2Starlight Ill be honest, i dont agree with your take at ALL. no offense.
I dont think having to be a top contender at some of the biggest piano competition to exist is a prerequisite to being considered a great and beautiful piano player, thats just extremely high standards.
Just because there are some artists who can make the greatest art of all time, doesnt mean the people who make "decently great" art have any less value.
the "falling notes" definitely didnt "overinflate" their viewcount, its a genuinely meaningful and artistic way to visualize the music and a way to make it more accessible to the masses. people who are neither looking for nor need the "peak" of piano, but instead are interested a generally "great" piano. and it just so happens this also includes a way to stimulate a sense music doesnt, sight.
the falling notes themselves might not be as complicated to make as a painting, but they still take a bit of technical skill and artistic decision making to do. choosing the colors and note "textures" you feel symbolize the piece as a whole, which in turn shapes the perception of the music to you as a player and every outside viewer that watches the video.
and idk what youre talking about, but there really isnt any "AI" in the process of editing these videos, hes explained how he makes the videos a few times in the past and it involves a few clever tricks in synesthesia and adobe aftereffects. alongside an LED strip on the physical piano.
Is there a specific Debussy piece missing from the channel?
Reverie
Reverie of course!
Rêverie
Or estampes?
Or how about some Ravel
This is how I imagine a Monet painting would sound
Because it's a piece from the impressionist era. If you ever have a chance to go to France, or if you are living there, take a look at the Giverny Garden previously owned by Monet. It's such a tranquil and beautiful place.
money x change:)
I love both monet and debussy so much!!
Wonderful, insightful comment!
I actually think it's because Debussy and Monet have the same first name
What concert piece should be next?
We are waiting for 2 mil subscribers...

Good Sir, I have been a an of your works for a long time. Rousseau playing them made them better. If he could play what is, in my heart, your most sacred composition, it would bring joy to a lot of us. Let's make this happen!
Are you left handed or right handed?
Ethan Pham he actually plays with his whole body, he composes when he‘s having a seizure
voter i wheezed
This is my favourite composition by Debussy... Also, I love how you've made the MIDI notes look like water droplets. Nice touch 😉
P.S. might you play L'isle Joyeuse & Pagodes? They're both exquisite!
Omg I love your composition "new beginning"
The piano trio is my favorite by far.
Same here. I’m very glad this piece was uploaded by Rousseau.
Do any of you know which VST Rousseau is using? It sounds very nice :) Thank you!
Never heard this before... it's beautiful where has it been my whole life????!!!
Debussy is incredible you're in for a treat. Also try some Maurice Ravel.
Gary Robinson Ravel’s La Valse, Pavane and gaspard de la nuit are some of my favourites.
And une barque sur l’ocean ahh all his works are amazing, as are Debussy’s
Precisely, same for me as well :)
try concerto for left hands by ravel
This is such a jazz tune, the phrasing and the harmony.
Impressionism
and it was invented before jazz too. While jazz is known mostly for improvisation, it also borrows the dissonant harmony from music like this, invented earlier.
@@mohhingman because 20th century impressionistic western art music was the most recent and modern music at the tjme
Turkish music was good at improvization before jazz too
You're not kidding! Listen to A Simgle Petal of a Rose by Duke Ellington.
Heroic Polonaise Please I would appreciate your consideration , Nice performance btw
you didnt even watch the whole thing lol
up
Really
I like polonaize
honestly i’ve been asking this SINCE pleSeeeeeeee
petition for Rousseau for his 3/4M special
I can't wait to go back to college and listen while studying. Finding your page last year was the perfect thing. Helped me stay calm and reach my top grades. Thank you
Wish you good luck with your studies! I also love studying while listening to piano!
Debussy was around before this page I think
@@GodTierComments haha you sure about that? In seriousness though, it's the visuals accompanied by the audio that calms me. Also, thank you for replying all these years later. I've just gone back to university this year to complete a degree so this should come in handy yet again
@@heatvvavee Great, good luck! I took a few years longer to complete my degree than I should have, too, but I persisted and got there eventually.
Petition for rousseau to play one of the following pieces:
1. Transcendental etude no.8 - liszt
2. Polonaise op 53 - Chopin
3. Polonaise op 44 - Chopin
4. Wtk 1 prelude in c minor - Bach
5. Reverie - Debussy
6. Ballade no. 4 - chopin
7. Concert etude no. 1 - Liszt
HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY NO. 2
I thought hes played Revarie
Polonaise op 53, you got a subscription!
If he. Could play them he just would
@@marco-xe9je it's already confirmed for 2 million!
Bach and Mozart: *Confused clapping*
I know that this is a very old comment but I feel like it deserves a reply. This killed me
Why confused ? Can you explain me the joke please ?
@@pommedeter7407 I believe it meant that Bach and Mozart might be extremely confused by Debussy’s style because it was so far removed from theirs, but still impressed that it sounds so good and is so technically advanced. I might be wrong, though!
@@doofenshmirtz-official you are indeed correct, Dr. Doofenshmirtz
@@doofenshmirtz-official I've always preferred to call you Heinz ketchup.
2:49 is very beautiful. Wish there was an extended part for it. It ended too soon.
It’s impact is what it is because of what precedes that part. But I agree about that climax being too short.
It sounds like Chopin a bit lol
@@RubenStolp it was a conscious decision to have it end so early. Like how a splash in the water forms chaos in the reflections it makes, but quickly dies out into a ripple, where we return to the warping and ominous landscape it painted at the beginning. But yes, that melody in the climax was beautiful.
Don't all good things? 😔
That "ending" or transition is so cool though.
heroic polonaise from chopin PLEASEEEE
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick-e how long u practice for it
@@rickdu705 you do know that Rousseau is a professional if not almost virtuosic pianist right? I mean, come on, he played Hungarian rhapsody no.6. I think he can do it; maybe not easily but in a short period
@@emadmary4271 You have to think of the fact that it's one thing to be able to play a piece but another thing to get a decent interpretation out if it - especially in the “Heroic Polonaise“ Sometimes this might take a lifetime. Look at Horowitz e.g.
A Challenge for you: compose your own piece and play it
Good idea
Oh yea, that would be great!
Yes!
I'm going to compose Hot Cross buns haha
Working on it, it's tough man...
All the musical theaory is now paying of though.
I love this piece so much. Reminds me of my grandmother before she died of COVID-19 when we would reminisce on the beaches of Mexico. May she rest in peace.
May she rest
May she rest
@@Dylonely42 opinion on this piece my friend?
This piece really takes up the style of ravel and gaspard de la nuit
AeroSky lol that’s also what I thought probably because they were impressionists
Ravel and Debussy was almost the same person, it's incredible
Except Ravel although 13 years younger, did it first, Jeux Deau in 1895 (I think) and stuff like that
This piece always reminds me of Jeux d'eau
Franz Liszt-Chopin It’s very different to Jeux D’eau as this piece is less about the water itself and more about the reflections in the water whereas Ravel’s Jeux D’eau is about the playfulness of water itself.
Oh god a Debussy piece finally! Heroic Polonaise next up please! So I can rest in peace 😅
You lucky
The impressionist composers really had a knack for using water as imagery (no pun intended)
I feel that Debussy’s reflets dans l’eau and Ravel’s Jeux Deau and Ondine are some of the most colorful pieces of music in piano repetoire
I absolutely agree, the arpeggios remind me so much of Ondine
This is the most beautiful piano song I have ever heard. I will definitely be trying to play this.
This very hard to play, much harder than Fantaisie-impromptu, Liebestraum or other
piece*
I remember when I first heard this I thought it was a Jazz piece from Bill Evans. This is one of Debussy’s most beautiful pieces that feels more modern than his other pieces.
It certainly doesn't "feel more like modern [music] than his other pieces." But don't take my word for it, just give a listen to any of his etudes.
I mean Bill Evans it's okay, but Gershwin? Now I can't imagine to people singimg and dancing to this
Debussy’s late works are all like these. Very jazzy chords
Words cannot describe this masterpiece
-Words
I really love how Debussy name his own pieces. Its like hes giving the piece a more deeper meaning 💙🌺🌠🌕
Great composition. You guys should do some more Ravel
No actually this is bach
@@ii_.musicalnerd._ii4004 Dont be ridiculous! It’s clearly a Greig concerto
Stop fooling around, it’s Sibelius
just simp it
@@azureNotsure he plays the harp really well though
@Marine Chuop-Mourareau **TRIGGERRED NOISES**
4:22 to the ending is just so beautiful..
The whole piece is beautiful
@@Dylonely42 True
Studying this for my Year 13 A Level music course in Cardiff, Wales through the WJEC exam board. The first one that isn't a chore. What a masterpiece.
I just finished this and I'm 16.
It didn't took a lot of time to be learned for me... because I was working on this every day and so much time because I love so much this piece.
So I completely agree !
The song that plays in my head when I reach post-nut clarity
Made my Day!
someones been watching joe rogan
Facts hahah
Joel Guzman piece*
You beautiful bastard
When the piece is so complex, that the images of the notes makes pictures together.
i was dis-interested in classical music, until I found out about Debussy and Ravel. How my life has changed since finding these treasured souls and their masterpieces.
When I hear this, I think of the time when I was really young, sitting in front of my grandma's tiny old Television watching the original Tom and Jerry on a tape. This one especially gives me memories of the ice skating scene in the kitchen when Jerry and Nibbles had the grand idea to flood the whole room with water and then freeze it. The way he jumps around the keys is just like that little show they put on the ice with the spotlight(which was just a gelatin dessert) on them. Thank you for this.
Rousseau; I agree with you totally. This is one of pieces that most inspired me to continue study in piano. Your playing of it is almost exactly the way I played it! Unfortunately an auto accident crushed my right hand and it is one of the pieces i can no longer play effectively. Surgery brought most of the facility back but ruined the knuckles of my index and third finger. Your play of it is totally beautiful!
I'm so sorry for you
@@Dylonely42 But the profile picture...
i hope youve continuted enjoying piano! you should have a look at ravels left hand piano concerto and see if you can play it
Like watching a busy day in a picturesque town unfold in the reflections of a lake
I recently played this piece for my own private recital and would like to give some of the criticisms that my teacher gave me. At the end, make sure that there is a clear difference between the measures that are in triplets and the measures that aren't. Debussy quite deliberately put some really interesting metric intricacies that that deserve recognition. Currently, they all sound basically the same. In the eleventh measure from the end, Debussy puts a quarter rest in the second half of the measure. I initially held the damper pedal through this rest until my instructor suggested that Debussy would have just put a half note in that measure if he wanted it held. Because of this he told me to let go of the pedal on those rests. This introduces a an interesting surprise in the last section and creates an expectation for the silence to occur again, which it never does.
Otherwise a pretty fantastic recording, and it's really cool to see all of these patterns in the music graphically.
Me: Looks doable if i work a bit.
1:17 moment: No you can't !
Me: True
Eh just a small cadenza
Sees the rh arpeggios after: aight imma head out
Thank you so much for playing this one Rousseau! It's definitely a favorite of mine from Debussy ❤
Thank you so much Rousseau, this is my favorite piece by Debussy.
Rousseau's kind of playing is... different. It's as if he's the actual composer playing the piece. Amazing job Rousseau. Keep up the great work.
debussy: *looks at glass of water*
-we can make a religion out of this!
3:48 I thought I heard Clair de Lune
2:02 as well
Me too
If you listen closely, that particular melody (Ab to F to Eb) appears throughout the song.
For example, at 0:06 and at 2:02
@@charlie1234500 something very similar is also present in prelude a l’apres midi d’un faune
I haven't heard this piece in years. Left me breathless. Love the music with the visual, it truly was magical.
Claude Debussy's Reflets dans l'eau ("Reflections in the Water") is the first of three piano pieces from his first volume of Images, which are frequently performed separately. It was written in 1905. As with much of Debussy's work, it is referred to as Impressionistic, meaning that it expresses emotions and senses by making use of non-functional harmony and ambiguous key signatures, its tonality being mainly non-diatonic and usually having a sense of modality.
Consolation No.3 Liszt
Sonata "Pathétique" I, II, III Beethoven
I would appreciate it 😁
I've been listening to Debussy all my life and this one got by me. What a masterpiece! Even for Debussy it's incredible. the execution is stunning too.
Just finished learning this. What a joy
This is one of the most bizarre pieces of music, and keys, I’ve ever heard
impressionism babe
It's beautiful.
There is no point of a key signature in pieces like this
@@angkhangnguyen5017 no cap
@@charlie1234500 it is
This piece is rly good...
Even tho i hear some Windows XP shut down theme in the earlier part of the song
I’d prefer it if it was longer as well but i think it captures the short burst of happiness a fish/sea creature jumping out of water thats marveling over the beauty of the surroundings on the surface, and then landing back to the sea.

WHAT THE FUXK HELP ME
I’m so happy you did this! I recently listened to it and i loved it so much.
Thank you!!
2:48 Wow it was so beautiful 👏🎉
How can Rousseau always find the perfect colour for every piece
And pattern
Rousseau, you're my infinit inspiration on piano ❤😭🎵
My absolute favorite piano piece! Thank you so much for sharing this!
One of my favourites, and one of his most brilliantly composed pieces. Thank you for this performance, you played these notes and they flowed like water.
The music of Debussy is very beautiful. Wonderful performance. Thanks for sharing
We can clearly telle that Maurice Ravel was inspired by this piece to make Ondine - Gaspard de la Nuit, especially the buildup at 2:21
Ravel always maintained that what inspired him to write Ondine was the poetry of Aloysius Bertrand.
Early! I was so excited for this one. Can't wait for next week's upload already!
Such a beautiful piece cannot stop listening to this
It’s so beautiful and elegant. It like the water dropping on the lake. The notes was arranging like a magnificent picture.
Great video. Your playing has inspired me to be a pianist👍
Thank you

I like how debussy doesn't try to use they left hand as background noise and emphasizes each note
The most beautiful thing I've ever heard
Debussy siempre magnífico, y bien interpretado.
The IMAGE of the midi notes into water droplets looking like stuff is nice!
The most original piece in classical musix
4:21 I really love the harmonies at the end of this piece.
This song reminds me of Beethoven’s moonlight sonata the 1st movement, haunting but hopeful. It’s beautifully designed, the structure of it just amazes me at how someone can literally make piano music remind me of water.
Perhaps Debussy saw this patterns in his head too? It's both audio and visually fantastic
truly, i could listen to this piece all day
Damn this runs in this are crystal clear. It’s impressive the amount of colors you can get out of your VST and this digital keyboard. Bravo!
This is my favorite piece by debussy! I'm also learning it right now
0:56
Debussy likes to do that and it always gets me.
Definitely a beautiful piece, *thank you, Rousseau!*
Thank you so much!!! This song is is so incredible and it’s always been one of my favorites of Debussy’s
I have to say, Debussy really matched the title to the piece well, it's not easy to do and when it's done right you have a very good work!
Debussy scrapped the original version of this piece, and considerating that he would hate some of his other masterful pieces years later, how amazing would have been that lost piece?
Huh but this piece sounds like all of his works merged, I hear multiple works of him! Or am I tripping?
I think his goal here was to create a theme using the least resources necessary to make it interesting. Which is why the main theme consists of only three notes. And then, later, the variation (if it may be called that) consists of just six notes.
You can hear the pure emotion in like all piano pieces which is why I love it so much
one of my favorites of Debussy! Very delicate and refined interpretation, with beautifully matched effects - loved the warped blur in the falling notes.
Beautiful as always :)
Listening to this at 3am at the heat of my home while reading how the power grid works. We really have achieved mind-blowing things. We can be very nice and mysterious species. Pity most people don't appreciate and don't realize what we have achieved and act accordingly.
GORGEOUS..I'm in tears
Whataaatttt????!!? I've been wanting this all along. Then you came. Wonderful
I’ve listened to many renditions and I think yours is the best.
Daniil Trifonov takes the cake for me easily. His touch is otherworldly
Challenge yourself and play Glinka/Balakirev - The Lark. I think it really fits in with your theme
The Lark is very beautiful and definitely one of my favorites. I think Rousseau should play it!
Please that is one of my favorite pieces of all time
ahhhhhhhh yessss its such a beautiful piece :)
im attempting to learn it :P
Simply one of my favorite pieces from Debussy, ever since I found it in 2016
debussy, three years ago it was nothing now... oh now its everything
Eventually I will be able to play this
I’m learning a song by Debussy so it’s great that you happened to post this. Amazing as always! 🙏
VOLAIRE ♪ which piece?
Learning Clair de lune but on guitar
VOLAIRE ♪ woooow that’s hard
Absolutely beautiful song, you played it wonderfully! I love Debussy's works but I had never heard of this song before. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song, and blessing my ears!
Unbelievable piece of magic. Thanks Rousseau.
I would love to hear Ravel - Pavane pour une infante défunte!
I can see Ravel got inspired on this piece to compose gaspard de le nuit
I love this piece
Amazing performance !! Thank you!
2:32-3:13
When it's Debussy you handle the piece very well, very original. Hoping for your HR2 on your 2M subscription piece. Keep up the good work and show us your talent more. ❤
Découverte du jour!!! Aussi beau à voir qu'a écouter. Merci ✨👏
I gotta say, the aesthetic that this channel brings is awesome. It has completely changed the way I view some piano songs, and piano playing in general. Always a nice touch when the colors on the keys match perfectly with the atmosphere of the piece.
