Obviously? Because HE composed them??

@@idontcare7197 he was ironic 🤦‍♀️

Most accurate thing I've seen all day

It all makes sense now, all puzzle pieces are falling into place

I mean, we're not talking about Liszt here are we?

Rousseau Sure you’re not... NOW PLAY RONDO FANTASTIQUE!

Are Debussy really said that?

@@octovia7440 Actually, yes.

@@octovia7440 he are said that

Oh that's wonderful.

I like his music because how bouncy and catchy the music is

We are very proud :)

Aww hahaha 💞

Also Mr. Lewandowski is a huge person they should be proud of

Thank you. We are very proud of him.

I'm not Poland but I'm proud

Liam Pitcher Octaves -Frédéric Chopin

I see you spreading the word of us composers again, Liam!

It's difficult not to when your words are so wise, my dear Ludwig.

@@liampitcher Thank you, my friend!

He obviously hadn't learned that by the time he had composed this piece.

BRILLIANT! 🙂 You win

accurate lmao

7. looks like Chopin didn’t want anyone to play his music

8 i bet he practises 40 hours a day ling ling method

Music hearing like a cat walking over piano

@The Four Horsemen It's always interesting how on the internet people make things up and present it as a fact. Not only have I played in the majority of videos (although after almost 2 years of weekly/bi-weekly videos with no break my hand condition is slowly beginning to deteriorate, so I want to feature more guest pianists in the future - who are always credited in the title screen), I have developed all of the effects myself & edit every video, from soldering each of the LEDs to the coding, to using modeling software to create the HR2 diamonds. I do all of the audio work and designed the distinct piano sound which is an amalgamation of kontakt libraries and processing, all of the arranging/sheet music engraving, all of the graphic design/artworks/branding work and all of the social media posts/marketing. I need to build up a team soon because even with guest pianists every once in a while, this workload is unsustainable - but it's nice it can all be disregarded so quickly :)

@@Rousseau huge respect man, your work ethic is admirable

Rousseau get em suss!

@The Four Horsemen OOOH THATS EMBARASSING!

@@Rousseau You're an inspiration, there's always haters in the youtube comments. I hope one day to be half as good at piano (about a year of practice in now), and to be soldering my own LEDs into a nice grand piano. Your piano is amazing.

It's all good

Still very good playing tho :)

I know

Waltz in E minor Chopin

@@matthewshaw4914 ye

You described my feelings about this peace you're so right

I see that somebody has discovered deceptive cadence!

that's classical music theory babey!! !!!

Truer words have never been said.

Absolutely. I agree. I feel in the midsection just glued and waiting for the comeback and what a finale it is haha

To be clear, I say this because he was a genius who had no compunctions about making other people suffer while glorifying his own abilities.

And aren't we just as glad that Mozart didn't go into plumbing instead!

@@johnzech5039 hey man, if I felt as good on the John as I did listening to Mozart, I wouldn't complain

I seriously don't care. I look up to the man as a role model. We can both agree the man was a genius. Not trying to start an argument or to contradict you, just putting my opinion out.

@@strawberyfish4908 Your comment is really confusing to me, was that meant as a reply to my comment?

Why did I imagine a farmer chasing the country Turkey

Judging form the detail, seems like you have the experience with that particular scenario

😂😂

Absulutely Underrated

So relatable, I chase turkeys around my house to the tune of heroic polonaise daily.

I've been requesting this piece for a long time lol.

This reply is very sweet

Not as well as Kissin.

Wow, nie spodziewałem się tutaj Grafa. ; _ ;

Holy sh*t Your here wow

TOO ACCURATE 💀💀💀💀

New hadcanon: Chopin wasn't that talented, he just had a notepad and few really active cats.

more like cat having a stroke on the keyboard lmao

I smell Charles the French here

I know right

It's not. Every piece by Chopin has a lot of meaning to Chopin. This polonaise was written due to the annexe of Poland. Chopin had to flee to France or he would be arrested/killed. Leaving his family behind when Poland were begging him to stay. In France, he was thinking about Poland with sadness and believed that Poland would one day be liberated. This piece tells that story.

​@@darrenj.griffiths9507 Umm, you got it all wrong my dude. He was out of Poland already when the uprising broke, so he didn't "leave Poland behind." He didn't even know that Poles were planning the uprising, and he was in Stuttgart when he found out that it failed - only after that he went to France. Poland wasn't begging him to stay, on the contrary, he wanted to come back and help as much as he could, but his family told him to stay out of the country because it was safer for him. The Russian tsar told him that he might come back, but he said that although he didn't fight in the uprising, he identifies with the Poles who did and therefore stayed in exile for the rest of his life.

Agreed. This is a beautiful piece, and is also one of my favorites along with Ballade no. 1 in G minor, and Revolutionary etude.

Indeed. You're a legend Luke!!

Yeah, he should have premiered this like HR2.

Wait, I found you again.

@@inidutiliroblox1010 i know this feeling lol

But the Chinese and Russian hackers found a way to crack it so it's now available to everyone in Yutube.

@@antoinefantaisie like we care about grammer

@@brandonk4337 *Grammar

perhaps the glory is only recent as it did not yet exist during Rubinstein's renditions.

I agree, love the crash of the loud low notes with the main melody. Sounds inspirational and glorious.

a lot of pianists drop it softly, which kinda annoys me tbh

@@2MinuteHockey I understand that historically Poland was not in a good condition. But glory in this sense is more of the honor and pride in Poland which I believe Chopin loved his own country very dearly.

Yes! I completely agree-this is an excellent interpretation and execution.

Probably 40 hours a day

Sebastian Days BRUH u just tried to save urself I ain’t falling for that my man

It truly is amazing.

Did you ever hear Phillipe Entremont play this. Outstanding. Very powerful

@@charade97 Thanks for mentioning him! Entremont's version is actually my favorite, powerful and evocative... it was the first version I ever heard. Every other rendition was measured against it, including Van Cliburn's, Horowitz's and Rubenstein's (which didn't compare well, IMO!).

Don’t give up

Rousseau had to learn this piece and struggled with it for a long time just like everyone, don't lose hope

what

Dziękuję

Di-did you just- wasthat a Piano no Mori reference-?!

For some reason it gives me this weird Greek feeling, especially the begging of the melody itself

It reminds me of krakow and the beauty of old town

It does feel like that though... Maybe Chopin was tired when he wrote this part 😂

Because the next day is your birthday

Zgadzam się.

To nie jest talent, to jest najczystszy geniusz.

To naprawdę jest coś innego. Ja mieszkałem na kilka lat w Polsce a potem się nauczyłem tej piosenki i to zawsze będzie mi przypomniało o Polsce. Bardzo lubiłem tam mieszkać i się uczyć Polskiego.

Czechowsky=Chopin

I love slavs (especially Russia and Poland)from Algeria!

Love from Ireland bud ✊✊.

Now I am also wondering how hahaha

Me says he coded it himself in a comment, not sure how much code or what programs are involved

@@devinbelver7124 he has leds on his piano, an electrician did it. That’s how katsina does it and I’m assuming that’s how rosseau’s does it. He also implements the keys with a rendering software.

Piano Leds

they aren't piano leds. rousseau's just so good at playing the light follows him wherever he plays

Anden you’re grandpa was a legend

Was your grandpa Chopin

The fact that your grandaddy can play this

That's so wholesome

Awwww

Glad it wasn't just me that noticed the power of that exact moment. My favourite part. It seems to convey the perseverance and resourcefulness of the hero.

Liszt*

chopin, liszt, rachmaninov. they all apply to the same motto.

Liszt :Hey thats my quote

Ling Ling 40Hrs the god has returned

no it's not that hard

Niklas Schöniger 😢

Same

This is true, The final test would using Liszt or Ravel

You are right look at Rousseau's comments on Scarbo

Usually when it's another pianist they give his/her name in the start. I guess you could look really closely at the hands.

Well, that's a good theory......Either wrong or right🤗

@@diegosanchez894 Rousseau's Chopin expert is chinese (or at least asian lol), he wears a ring

@@amadeusk525 lmao "Chopin expert"

The Polonaise refers to the Polish dancing tradition in the live, marching rythm. It is also full of lyricism, patriotic notes and longing for the homeland during Parisian Revolution

Yeah, really emotional piece

ASPIbonalba i dont understand the thing with piano and so called ”you lie in april” what is it

@@Bozzigmupp it's an anime which is about classical music

Yea but I feel this song doesnt match the right emotions for your lie, if that makes any sense

BoZZigmupp its a beautiful anime series about musicians and they played a lot of piano pieces, mostly chopin. You should check it out, just search "your lie in april english dubbed".

You didn’t capitalize your I’s and that bothers me

I'm sorry but i would say Ravel and Tchaikovsky have way superior music

For the people who dont understand polonaise is the style of music this was written other examples being waltzes rags ballades etc.

Ohh yeah

And I am watching to make up my mind if I should take up piano lessons after46 years.I need some inspiration to get me going. My piano of 52 years has been waiting for a very long time and is badly waiting to be tuned and overalled.I am in two minds...should I saddle up this horse or leave it in the stable?I have feeling tnis will be a wild ride should I decide to go for it.Whoever takes me on,will have to be veeeeery patient.....

@@riacalitz14 It's *never* too late to learn a new skill. We should constantly be challenging our own selves and growing! I say get that piano tuned, start taking some lessons, and enjoy the ride. :-D One more way to express something deep within your soul? I think that's worth learning. ;-)

Listen to tragic polonaise, its another nice piece( i like the Rubinstein and Horowitz interpretation) To Rubinstein, watch his recital in moscow, its the first piece To Horowitz watch his recital at the carnigie hall

Guilherme Silva r/woooosh

Max De Santa Polonaise=Bolognese

Max De Santa oh would you please refer back to his reply. He was obviously and innocently talking about classical music, and had no idea the original comment was comedic. By the way, your reply to my woooosh had a missing subject, and misled, confused me to: 1. What I did wrong 2. What isn’t what? 3. Who are you referring to? so in 4 ways, you are wrong.
