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?

"At least piano doesn't hurt your fingers like guitars do"
Chopin: And I took that personally

[VanGolliaz]

I usually play this when I'm stressed so I can put out my stress and get more stressed by not being able to play it correctly.

(Impressive how so many people identify with this comment! I said sincerely, I can't play it, but I'm still trying! lol I love Rousseau's channel, I always come back here. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷)

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.💝💝💝💝💝💝🐑🐑🕊🕊😘😘🤗🤗🌞🌞🎊🎊🎉🎉💝💝

How in the world did Chopin come up with such a masterpiece?? He was a genius, for sure.

so this song was published 4 years ago, the chance of anyone seeing my comment is slim, but i just wanted to say i am 13 years old, and i have been playing piano for 6 years.

this is the best interpretation of this song i have ever heard.

i want to ask my teacher to learn this song.
i listen to this every single day.
amazing work @Rousseau

Cat: *runs over piano*

Chopin: Holy shit that's good

So this was another mid-week video... should this become a regular thing?

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.

This guy Chopin has a lot of potential, can’t wait to see him on stage one day

[el_um_mayo]

And here we see Rousseau in all his glory, posting both Liebestraum and Fantasie Impromptu within a span of 4 days

Your fingers fly like they have a mind of their own!

I've been learning many of Chopin pieces over the past couple years, currently Fantaisie. The hardest aspect of learning any song for me has been maintaining interest in the piece. Chopin's sound is dazzling and almost forces me to keep going. I am a moth and Chopin is the lamp.

[JMM]

Maybe if 88 of us get together and each take a key, we’ll be able to play this in a couple years 😂

[alexmerka]

I'm trying to learn this piece. I've got kind of the first page down and i came here to see how fast i should be playing it. now excuse me while I go cry-

[levispiano]

Chopin dies at such a young age :( imagine what he could have composed over the years as he advanced farther.

[scubaad]

This is beautiful. My dad played this piece, and it gives me very fond memories of laying under his piano for hours, as he played. This one was always my favorite.

3:53 Chopin - “oh shit this was meant to be a fast piece”

[Lustrous]

Friend: Playing guitar hurts your hands
Chopin: Hold my piano
