Hello, I'm Rousseau, I make piano covers of classical and pop songs with a reactive visualizer. New videos every Monday!

Chopin's 1st Ballade. One of the most beautiful and substantial works in the entire solo piano repertoire, and the piece of his most dearest to me. Although a bit of craziness would have been fun (and... is coming...), hitting 1M subscribers after only starting my channel 10 months ago is still so hard to believe, and the piece closest to my heart - dedicated to you as a token of gratitude - was only piece I felt fit to celebrate the 1M milestone. Thank you for 1M ♥
You Tricked us:< but still This piece is beautiful
Congratulations!
Rousseau Wheres ma hungarian rhapsody dear
Thanks for always playing what YOU want and not succumbing to the Hungarian fanboys in the comments
Sure that was the greatest troll you ever pulled on us....
But that was just a beautiful piece there!!
The fact that you saved this for your 1 million special says a lot about you as a pianist. Such an awesome choice. Brilliantly performed. Now go celebrate! Congrats, Rousseau!
Thank you, Daniel ♥ I will now go celebrate by practicing Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.
Or chopins etude op 10 no 4
U got the joke? No 2, no 3, no 4... okay okay im gonna kill myself ...
Any etude by Chopin is fitting!

@@Rousseau the one everyone was expecting here :p
Have you seen the film The Pianist? I still get shivers thinking about the Ballade scene...
Yeah. It was really amazing 😍
I wrote my graduation paper about that movie. It is truly outstanding
What a coincidence. Just watched the film this morning and now you mention it. Such an intense and touching movie.
My favourite movie of all time I remember watching it with my grandma for the first, every time I listen to this piece I just fall apart ❤❤❤
Same thing...
"I am, I was a pianist" that scene always makes me cry
same
What scene?

dayumm. i completed that anime today. was my second rewatch
Chopin died at 39, imagine what he could’ve compose if he would’ve lived a longer life.
39? So all of those pieces were composed before the age of 39? That’s amazing
He probably could compose more music
@@Asaaldridge22 No way :0
Jennifer Mai
Not that surprising, people like Liszt, Chopin, Beethoven all the greats composed great pieces at young ages... and medical stuff wasn’t the best back then so not that surprising he died as well
@@jennifermai1589 In fact he composed this ballade at the age of 21
Ready for round 2?
Rousseau hell yeah
As in Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2?
If so, then very.
YESSS!!!
"The most insane piano pieces (Vol 2)" confirmed!
Rousseau la campanella 2 confirmed
The hardest part about learning this piece is trying not to cry while listening , change my mind.
Idk man, that coda is pretty insane.
its a piece not song
thx for correction@@primera04
there’s some days where you get the emotion perfectly and you feel like you gotta tone it down a bit or your parents are gonna cry.
The hardest thing about this piece is learning it.
Came here after watching Your Lie in April.
Years before watching the show and even knowing of it's existence this was already my favourite Chopin piece and one of my favourite pieces of music in general.
I am probably in the minority for this because I knew about the piece before knowing about the anime and I think that most people who know both (And watched the show) got to know about this amazing piece from there.
It definitely now has these new added memories with it that I will always think about when listening to it.
Wonderful piece used in a wonderful show.
same here hahah
Same 😢
Bro I dont even know the show to beggin with
I feel ashamed for people who expected for Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and didn't enjoy this beautiful piece
Yes... this in my opinion is Chopin's best piece and my favourite piece of music of all time. Up there with Rach2 and Rach3
Lmao, the shade thrown by Rousseau liking this comment. Playing us like a fuckin' fiddle, I tell ya.
Maybe he save that for 10 M subs :')
*still expected to that sadly
I did expect sum Hungarian Rhapsody but, I'll take any classical piece whatever Rousseu throws at me(or us)
I was expecting Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 but I wasn't dissapointed, I actually loved it!
-What do you do?
-I am... I was a pianist.

Vectrum Your Lie In April is actually very good and it inspired me to play the piano, I think it did a very good job tbh
@@CasiMV Everyone doesn't hate your lie in april what are you on about
@@CasiMV he's like me, he gets annoyed not by Your Lie In April the anime, but the fandom and people who spam these quotes from the anime everywhere they see a classical song from the anime.
4:48 This is definitely my favorite part of the piece. The beauty and feelings that Chopin's music transmits is incredible. I love him.
Its my favorite part too. Everyone else seems to favor the speed at around the 7 min mark but i just love this part the most
Same! I was looking for someone to say this.
Yep my fave too

@@yanfangshen4356 same!
Go listen to Kristien Zimmermans version, I think you’ll never come back only to learn
Hundreds
@@yanfangshen4356 same for me
This must be my favorite piece of all time. The fact that Chopin composed this masterpiece at 21 years old is absolutely unbelievable. The part at 7:48 must be the most beautiful and epic part I've heard on piano, very complex and with plenty of notes which match perfectly with each other. Truly a magnificent piece, congrats to Rousseau for playing it so well. I hope I'll be able to do the same in a couple of years.
You certainly will! I've been working on this piece for the last 3 months, (with a minor pause as my electric piano was fried in a storm 2 weeks ago), and its not an easy piece by any means however, as you progress it gradually becomes easier! the notes kind of just make sense when you really get into it! It's really just memorizing all of the jumps.
@@zachreel6466 have you finished it?
agree, also it's his one of the hardest codas. hope I'll be able to learn it too in couple of months))
Totally agree!
@@chyka-937how’s the progress going?
I've listened to a lot of music but that recapitulation of the second theme from 4:48 to 5:10 is truly one of the most beautiful and simultaneously dramatic passages in all of music. The first time I heard it I became obsessed with this piece, and even though I've heard it so many hundreds of times its beauty never wears out.
Nd the preparation its incredible

how much years of piano did it take you to reach this level?
@@davideciabuschi9053Ill tell you, if you practice for about 3 hours a day (missing some days every now and then) but MINIMUM 50 minutes a day and max 7 hours, it will probably only take you about 3 years to get to the level able to play this piece, and then 4-6 months to actually learn the whole thing and master it.
@@galaxy.9162oh yeah so only 3 years and 6 months guys don’t worry
Only kidding congrats on all the hard work and dedication

I suffer from bipolar disorder and I’m currently having a manic episode, I tried so many things to calm myself down but to no avail
I can’t play the piano right now as it’s 3 in the morning
Then I remembered your videos and remembered that it used to calm me down during panic attacks, I decided to give it a shot and holy hell I feel less energised now, thank you so so so much, you have no idea how grateful I am as manic episodes can be both physically and mentally painful for me
You’re doing god’s work and I can’t thank you enough
man, sorry to hear that, hope you're doing better now
@@noobisnotoveratedidk1409why does that matter to you. They are thanking the creator, not you 😂
Did you know that Chopin suffered from Bipolar disorder??? Hope Chopin's pieces help to calm you down, try Fantaisie Impromptu op.66
edit: Many other pianists including Beethoven,Mozart,Robert Schumann have seem to suffered from Bipolar disorder (common in musicians and composers)
Cheer up, You might become the Next Mozart or Beethoven or Chopin or Liszt, hope you recover soon
You will be fine lady. I am no I mean, we are cheering for your happiness and health. Good luck
diagnosed by the internet
I keep coming back to listen to this beautiful piece of art. Thank you Rousseau, it's like a breath off fresh air after a hard day's labor.
I hope you are alright. May you eventually keep uploading.
May the Lord keep you and bless you.
So do I keep coming and listening to this wonderful and extraordinary piece of Chopin’s work. Imagining that some day I could play this.
This piece makes me shiver and get on the verge of tears every time I listen to it. It's such a beatiful piece and a brillian execution.
This is very meaningful to me. I have a friend who is a classical pianist. He inspired me to play the violin ever since I heard him play this. He was my closest friend and sadly, He had passed away not to long ago.. I can only dream of performing this with him. I miss you bud I will never forget how much you mean the world to me.
damn reminds me of kaori :'). may his soul rest in peace.

hey man may he Rest In Peace :(

Rousseau, you deserve an enormous congratulations for this achievement. Watching you grow online has been an amazing inspiration to aim for the same! What you do is truly incredible. The 1st ballade is one of my favourite piano pieces too, so I'm doubly happy to see you perform it! Here's to the next million! (we expect it to be soon...)
Seeing your comments on every Rousseau video really makes me happy seeing the classical music community!!
They do actually play piano
Sheet Music Boss i like your rush songs
LIEBESTRAUM NO. 3!!! PLEASE!
I’m glad all the piano channels I follow also like and comment on each other’s videos.
The part at 3:47 always makes me feel like I’m so at peace with myself! Such a beautiful sound!
the 2:20 part is honestly giving me hella goosebumps
one of the top iconic classic ballade that was in YOUR LIE IN APRIL just love it
Press F to pay respects iykwim
It looks hard
But when you start practicing it
It’s even harder
The Joking Wizard 😢😢
I’ve just learned liebestraum and I’d like to start this one... but I think it’s on another level
I know right? When I started to learn this piece, I was like "Alright I could work with this. It may be a little difficult but I can manage right?", and then I saw the Waltz section of the piece and the Coda section. This piece is coming along with a lot of surprises and I love every bit of it
Loogeルージュ what do you mean by surprises
Gabriele Guidetti Hey I finished Liebestraum like 2 months ago and I started this piece like 1 week ago, and I already have till 5:48 aprox. For me, it hasn’t been that difficult this far. I recommend you to give it a try.
7:54 absolute eargasm
I concur.
Yes!!!
Along with 4:48
Do you know the second ballade? The end is also pure eargasm!
@@manuelbes you so right
doesnt matter if you came from The Pianist or Your Lie in April theyre both great cinematic masterpieces
4:55 this part is my absolute favourite part. An astonishingly beautiful piece indeed.
You did it, you utter maniac!

@@milkywaes7058 search and play this video XD
@@milkywaes7058 cry with a smile
I can't stop crying when i hear this piece. It's like Chopin poured EVERYTHING into this piece. Each of his pieces you can find a singular emotion, but this one, it's too much to bare. It's like he summed his entire life into this piece. His Anger, his frustration, his joy, and what little happiness he could find and the validation he sought for not being able t fight for his home country. Everything is in this piece, the culmination of his life, and it makes me cry experiencing it al at once.
Beautiful and thoughtful interpretation, thanks for sharing this!
5:38 to 5:48 is such an amazing part for 10 seconds

This is incredible Rousseau, I came here after watching The Pianist. Made me realise how extraordinary Chopin is. You nailed this performance=) 8:12 - those octaves 😮
Yuzuru Hanyu's performance introduced me to this peace of art. I always get teary listening to this, his performance is liquid gold, I recommend watching it.
This is my favorite his brilliant program. He has great taste in music!
Man, that buildup from 7:29 until the badass section at 7:46 and beyond has to be one of the greatest things ive EVER heard on piano. Chopin was a fucking genius
This is my favourite piece so I agree.
@Ali Bavafa "masterpiece" means the most beautiful piece that an artist has ever made, the "master" of his pieces, so rap and pop songs could easily have many masterpieces.
@@h........................... no
@@duongnguyenngoc9160 The same way you would cringe at someone who would critic classical music through a pop musical framework (and rightfully so), you should also cringe at people criticising pop and rap music through a classical musical framework. It's just that different criterias are required for rap music to be good, so you can't OBJECTIVELY say that there cannot be any rap and pop masterpieces, because the criterias required for these songs to be good are simply different, and you shouldn't apply your classical framework to evaluate any pop or rap songs, the same way you wouldn't criticize classical music for not having any lyrics or something along those lines... There are rap songs that are masterpieces, inside of the rap "sphere", the same way there are classical masterpieces inside of the classical "sphere", but you can't evaluate one genre based on the "sphere" of another, music just doesn't work that way.
Yeah listen to evgeny kissin play it it’s way better
Chopin really just didn't want anyone to play his music.

Of all the composers, I like Chopin's piano works the most, absolutely distinctive and emotional ... he was truly a brilliant musician. I'm sure chopin would enjoy listening to you, beautifully played.
my favourite piano piece ever… such incredible feeling
Thanks Rosseau and Chopin
Chopin could've just stopped at 8:39 but he really wanted to hit that 9 minute mark huh
chopin was trying to get his ad revenue,too bad he just missed the 10 minute mark
he should've hit the 10 minute mark so it can get monetized

2:19 is the best thing I’ve ever heard and I’m sure that only Chopin could have composed it.
Wdym?
It’s the best motif I’ve heard from Chopin, and my most favorite one
So true! This is my favorite part of the ballade
When I first heard it I though I was listening to some modern composition at that point. It sounds ahead of its time.
Oh yeah that is a really Beautiful part one of my favorite parts~ ^^
Hey Rousseau, I watched every of your classical pieces so many times cause it gives me chills.
I'm 19 years old and I played piano for 8 straight years till I stopped at the age of 13 because I just didnt have the motivation to do so and never really practised.
I did win contests playing as a duo with my best mate playing cello so it was basicly a hobby, but not really something I truly truly loved.
(Outside of the contest phase in my life I only practised like 15 minutes a day..)
Now, 5 years later YOU singlehandingly brought back my passion for piano and I'm playing more than ever.
My favourite piece is Un Sospiro (no, I can't play it yet), which is above my level, but I finished Arabesque now and I'm hoping to be able to play Claire de Lune in a few months (even though the minute 2:00 part looks a lot harder..)
Thank you so much for providing the sheet music for FREE and the videos are helping me so much in terms of finger movement and double checking the notes I read from the sheet.
You deserve every single sub, I hope you're soon going to be able to make a living from youtube, if not already.

@@remydovizioso5615 and women.
Yeah, he didn't say that. Contrary to what fans of classical music like to pretend, most people are perfectly capable of "understanding" and appreciating it. Yeah, it's fun to latch onto classical music as the thing that makes you "smarter" than the "hOrDeS oF sHeEpLe," but at the end of the day, everyone's tastes are equally valid and, let's face it, everyone else isn't stupid - you're just a pretentious dickhead.

It's piece
Chopin's music just hits differently, in the sense of the way it is able to emulate emotions and use them to tell a story, not a one that is made of words, but of pure emotions. Rousseau has become my favorite pianist because he is a storyteller that uses music.
I found out about this piece through the 2002 film titled "The Pianist" It is about a Jewish pianist named Władysław Szpilman surviving during Germany's invasion of Poland at the start of WWII. He plays this piece near the end of the film for a German officer who found his hiding place. The officer let him live after hearing him play such a beautiful piece of music. It is one of my favorite movies of all time so this piece is very near and dear to my heart.

I myself find the hardest part not the coda, but the middle scherzando section. I've never played it convincingly.
I have been playing 11 years, trained by a master for 9 of those years. I always wanted to learn this piece and I am finally really attempting it. I thank you for this video, I have been referring to it for hand placements. Thanks for the awesome video and the beautiful music that you play!

you're here because:

- the amazing composer
- kaori's last farewell to kousei
- yuzuru's breath-taking skate to this wonderful piece
The pianist is amazing, as you said. I can feel the hard work and dedication that was put into this masterpiece, and I'm also truly grateful to Chopin for giving us this beautiful composition. But I must admit that I am here because of Yuzuru Hanyu and his otherworldly interpretation of this piece at the 2018 Winter Olympics. It was truly incredible how he flowed within the music and expressed himself, and I definitely hope that more people will come to know about him so that they can share in the joy of watching him perform. It's a truly life changing experience.

Hello Debussy
Claude Debussy hahHhahahah
Wow wow wow, I can't stop listening at this! Thank you Rosseau to bring me every day happiness!
4:50 that chord is so perfect and everything else about that passage
100% agree tbh.
Chopin’s thought process:
8:39 Should I stop here? Nah
8:52 the little touch up? Hmm, a little more...
9:15 yeah I just broke 9 minutes I think I’ll call it a day
:D
dwl sound accurate lol 😂
He would have broken 10 minutes if had to upload to TH-cam
Actually hearing Chopin I found that type of ending expected. It is a proper ending to a beautiful song.
I always disliked abrupt endings tbh
Alonso b Chopin usually ends with a long chromatic (exceptions like fantasie impromptu and revolutionary polonaise) but that doesn’t make this any less true 😄
This autoplayed while I was playing Skyrim and after a few minutes I thought "wtf why is piano music playing". But, after listening to the whole thing I'm so glad it did autoplay. Absolutely amazing- from someone who mainly listens to techno & DnB
Modern tech music and classical piano music actually have a lot in common and I think you would like them both
Phaethon, he who dared just because you listen to classical music doesn’t make you all high and mighty. All music has its tastes and all music has its strengths and weaknesses. It’s a marvel of humans and we should all share in that. No need to insult anybody
@Euphorion _ ah yes, our lord Euphorion who listens only to classical music. Without your highness we all would be doomed
6:11 Rousseau's Hair Reveal
Thank you for putting this on TH-cam I adore your piano playing. You're seriously my piano bias and I admire you ot of any pianist I've ever listened to. Even though I've never seen your face🙂😊❤️❤️
Screw it, I'm typing this comment as a pledge to myself to one day learn this piece and perform it as elegantly as you, Rousseau.
I have been learning the piano since August of 2018, but I know I still have a long way to go. One day, I will learn the 1st Ballade, and when I do, I will come back to this comment and I will declare in having fulfilled that dream.
I wish you so much luck.
With hard work and dedication you’ll achieve your goal.
I believe in you.♡︎
wish u luck!
wish you luck . i too wish to play this piece one dy
Aight
Good luck!
finally finished this Ballade No.1 in G minor. 3 months, 3hours per day, 3 times I want to give up, and 3 times I picked it up immediately when I watch this video. Although there are lots of I cannot handle very beautifully, I still learned a lot from finishing a masterpiece. Granted, it is hard, and it took me lots of time which I could play video games with my friends, but I got more than playing video games. Thanks a lot, for helping me pursue my practice.
congrats man, i'm also working towards the goal of just getting up until 5:22
As a musician all those hours of pain, anger and frustration always pay off at the end when you can play it for someone else, in front of a crowd or even for yourself :)
Can you tell me how long you have been playing piano is that I am practicing it but I do not know if it can be very difficult for the little experience I have
@@elamigouriel9856 It is a VERY difficult piece and you should have already played a good chunk of difficult repertoire before going into this piece.
Keep going
Thank you so so much for this! I would listen to this while driving every day for awhile. I love this song so much. It has a special place in my heart, for I learned it in secret for my recital performance last May. It is forever my “secret song” :)
Each bloom of that set melody corresponds to each bloom of the lover's hope and each following Staccato beat after it are the heartbeats. This is the most romantic piece ever.
I came here after watching The Pianist...that scene when Szpilman play this for the German officer... That heart-wrenching scene... And the image of Adrien carrying that can of pickels is so haunting... War is ugly.
A very touching piece to show how much one man had lost
the part about that movie that really got me is just me reminding myself that that was real it was a real person
I need to watch this movie! I will today for sure
My father showed me that film. When I was like idk 13. It struck me as one of the greatest films ever made and completely shaped my taste in films ever since. Very few films come close to the level of emotion that film managed to convey even to an 13 year old. That to me is true film making. The ability to convey those emotions to whoever the recipient is. Be it a needy 13 year old who was into star wars or someone that was alive during the time of the events of the film.

Everybody expecting for Hungarian Rhapsody 2...
*proceeds to upload twinkle twinkle little star*
Exius Kenway Mozart composed 12 variations on this theme, you should listen to them. I hope Rousseau will play them in a video
comment ripoff
That's some serious suspense
Mozart's 12 Variations are actually quite impressive.
Twinkle littel star is from lizt so it will also be good song to do for 1,000 subs!!
Omw, Chopin was such a genius. I have listened to so much music and spent so many hours finding songs but this is still my favorite. You did such an excellent job! I have never heard anyone play this song so beautifully as you have.
Im not a pianist, not a virtuoso... just a headbanger, a Brazilian heavy metal vocalist... and I love classical music and this is sooooooooo perfect, touching! thanx so much for this beautiful piece of work!
guys,
he's referring to this as "round 2", it's his second subscriber special.
in his first special, he played Liszt - La Campanella, because this is round 2 of the Liszt specials, it has to be hungarian rhapsody no°2
edit:
*my brains have now been blown out of my head*
he bamboozled us
It's actually his fourth subscriber special
@@leothelion5230 well, it's his second special starting with the number 1
Such a lonely ballade, filled with joy and sorrow, love and hatred, happiness and despair. Chopin composed this early in his career, what the hell do you have to go through to create something of this magnitude? Perhaps he had depression, he was sickly throughout his life, and was paraded around Europe as a prodigy, hard with his shyness. There are things we’ll never know about this man, all we have is his music and we cry with him. He was a poet of the keys, and his works live on as reflecting humanity in its most vulnerable. We are just sacks of love and sorrow, reverie and pain. We were born to survive, not to live, and he portrays that feeling of pitiful anger, loneliness, and longing in this ballade. It’s his Magnus Opus, it’s Chopin composed in keys.
his sign was fishes. of course he was depressed. he got born that way, he died that way. along the road, for a fish (pisces 😆) born there is much pain. with a little bit if luck one gets a talent. that offers some escape at times. but the majority of time is pain and dispair
@@florinnatu what do you mean a fish
@@tiny5663 i thought in another language. sorry. i mean pisces 😅
very well said
@@florinnatu bro star signs don’t mean anything stop believing in those superstitions
Bravo - I am working on this now after finishing his Fantasie Impromptu and building my own channel. You have ignited a fire within me to continue putting in the hours to learn this. What a fantastic and flawless performance.
To me, the whole of Ballade sounds outstanding!!! amazing i couldnt miss any part of it
