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

What an incredible year 2018 has been, I want to thank you all for being here on this pianistic journey, the year began with an Etude by Rachmaninoff, and it was only fitting for it to end with an Etude by Liszt. "Un Sospiro" translates into English as "A Sigh", a feeling captured so well by Liszt in this piece. This feeling can be expressed in many ways, one of my favorite interpretations of the piece is by Hamelin, his performance inspired my own, although on the other side of the spectrum is the slower performance by Paul Barton which is equally as beautiful. I wish everyone all the best in 2019, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

What piece by Liszt do you want to see on this channel? (Note: the most commented piece will be performed ;) )

[kevinboiiiii]

copyright didn’t exist back then so Liszt just made pieces so difficult no one else could dream of playing them

[Phixelated]

“So is the melody in the left or right hand?”
“Yes.”

[arvetis]

wow looks like someone got to day FOUR on SimplyPiano

[LukeFaulkner]

Never mind Hungarian Rhapsody.. THIS is beautiful! I'm so glad you played it - one of my favourite compositions by Liszt.

Liszt had a dream one night about his left and right hands having a conversation.

Left hand to Right hand: Get out of the way, I need to get to the other side.
Right hand to Left hand: Over my moving body.
Left hand: Okay then.

And that's how Un Sospiro was composed.

them: "just learn left hand and right hand separately!"

Somehow Liszt always finds a way to make a piece extremely hard but also extremely beautiful.

I never really listened to, or appreciated, or even thought twice about, classical piano. Then, I randomly stumbled across your channel browsing youtube and it changed everything. Now, many months later, I find myself listening to many great pianist; Arrau, Lugansky and Brendel, yet I find myself drawn back to you. Your take on this music, the subtlety of it, the lite flow, I guess the Rousseau of it all, the you that made me stop for a minute and listen. I suppose this drawn out post can be simplified into a few words and those few words are, Thank you Rousseau.

Other composers: *uses bass notes to shape chords and melodies*

Liszt: How about using insane arpeggios instead?

[SheetMusicBoss]

A beautiful rendition! It was a pleasure to watch this the whole way through Rosseau. All the best for a wonderful new year!

[Joe-pllq]

1:52 this F major is the most powerful use of a chord I’ve ever heard. This piece gives me the Indescribable feeling of some kind of intangible power within people’s soul and in their potential. Easily my favorite

Rousseau uploaded. Drop everything and watch 😂

[Teezus]

Why do all Listz songs start the same. First 40 seconds seem almost worth an attempt then suddenly you need three hands, a foot and the wingspan of an NBA player to continue

[Rousseau]

PLAY HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY NO. 2... wait hold on...

Rousseau's routine:
20 hours per day: practice piano
2 hours per day: drinking coffee
2 hours per day: drinking monster energy.

[Chomper]

What’s amazing about this side of YouTube is there’s just no toxicity. It’s all appreciation towards the pianists. A breath of a fresh air really.

”YALL LIKE ARPEGGIOS?” -Liszt, probably

They've just played this on Classic FM, and I was instantly reminded of my dear Mother, who was a piano teacher and used to play this quite often. I remember her hands going criss cross on the keys whilst she was playing the piece, just magic. Wish I had inherited her talent. Thank you for uploading this, it is magic!
