Hello, I'm Rousseau, I make piano covers of classical and pop songs with a reactive visualizer. New videos every Monday!
#Rousseau #Piano #PianoCover
In their time, both Liszt and Paganini were accused of having sold their souls to the devil to acquire their virtuosity. It's no wonder with a piece like this. Thank you all for 100,000 subscribers, there's no other piece I'd want to play for you to celebrate. It means a lot to me that you all keep coming back each week to liszten ;) A special mention (and dedication) has to be given to reddit, without which my channel would not have reached this milestone, thank you to the awesome community there for their support!!
Rousseau impressive work man!
Rousseau What is coming next Monday? By the way great playing!
Rousseau nicely done! Please do endless tears piano cover! Much appreciate it if you do the cover really much!
Honestly I just found you in my recommendations and I'm glad youtube recommended me this channel of Yours! Would love to see more of your amazing and beautiful videos!!! lots of love 😍💖
I'm also pretty sure you sold your soul as well to have such great and amazing talent like that😂

Imagine playing this perfectly and finding out that you forgot to hit record
when you are able to play comfortably a piece while also recording, you can usually play it again while recording as well as forever as long as you practice it from time to time so you don't forget it and/or lose the muscle memory
Happened to me lol
God save you
Sometimes playing perfectly is luck, personal experiences, I can play "Waterfall Etude" but I only play it perfectly once every 50 tries or something
Lol yes that will be epico
My friend opened ALL of my tabs, and I had 5 of the same video playing, but each was ten seconds off. It was beautiful.
as if the the music wasn't chaos enough jut by it self lol (I'm writing this while doing that, I feel like im having a stoke)
My toxic trait is thinking I can teach myself this.
i mean, you didn't say in how many years 😂
Nah you’ll be fiiiiiiiiiinnnee
I like how it starts hard Then it’s just unplayable
It's frustrating to learn for that exact reason because it's actually playable at first. The muscle memory kicks in pretty quick. Then there's that point depending on your skill level where it's just a wall. It'll take years realistically to gain the skills to even learn it let alone play it well. For me at least. I'll stick to playing the first 1/3 in slightly different ways until the fun wears off.
I died at 1:33
@@kjl3080 Same bruh
It doesn’t’t really starts hard if you’re talking bout the very being which is a bunch of D flats

It wasn't just crack, it was everything but weed
If it wasn't that he could have wrote and performed it after about 6 cups of coffee on the 6th day of the week on only 6 hours of sleep. String the numbers together and we get how any mortal could possible come up with a piece this complicated.
Your comment made me "crack" up
@Giorgio E so that's why the notes are rainbow-colored in this?
Liszt has a lot of complex, bombastic compositions that arguably are among the difficult works an aspiring pianist could learn and apparently this deceptively simple piece is near the top of the list
This was the first song I learned when I started on piano. I've since moved on to much more advanced pieces.

@@readerofareader right?
@@readerofareader It became a contest of who of parents in the world gets their kid the most strict lessons and regimes to make a playing robot out of a 12 year old... And afterwards it's called talent, after such an overtrained kid is playing all the different classical pieces and études, at oversped up tempos, forwards and backwards, and in all 12 keys in a row, while clearly being tired of such pressure, squeezed like a lemon, but also "putting to shame and tears of disappointment in themselves" is what many people, whilst actually passionate about music, experience from that. That makes them depressed, and they are so let down by their own skills, that they quit trying... That is kind of sad to me, and it doesn't seem to me as if great techniques and memory full of all the known pieces is worth much in musical sense, if it all doesn't result in expression and something new, some actual greatness, and not just a potential demonstration of speed. I rarely see "toddler prodigies" doing all that more than play fast and precise. Perhaps only some...
