Ludovico Einaudi - Nuvole Bianche (Live From The Steve Jobs Theatre / 2019) 

Imagine how many times he must've played this piece (and all others) when at concerts or practising for them. And you can still see the emotions on his face when playing this, and that really shows through the music. Truly a spectacular composer and a profounding piece of music.

He didn't write music.. he wrote emotions ❤️

“To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” ― Ludwig van Beethoven

I’m a 14 year old kid from Australia, I self taught myself this song while my single mother was going through cancer treatment, by the end of her 3wk stint of her first round of treatment I was able to play this song for her, it’s been almost a year and i listen to this song and remember that dark time of my life, I’m crying. I recently preformed this song for my best friend and boyfriend in our abandoned school theatre they are the only people in my life who know about the whole situation, i preformed it for them it was near perfect made me sad happy proud. safe to say all three of us bawled lol. I just wanted to share my story because this song for is so freaking important to me thank you!!’

I'm going to start playing piano just because of this song, it's truly beautiful!

It's weird how there are no lyrics to this song but it still speaks to you. Heck, if you listen to it long enough you'll start hearing actual words. And no I'm not high. Lol

What I find is fascinating is how his facial expressions convey so many emotions and feelings. This is one of my favourite songs of all time and he performs it so well. His face says more than any lyrics ever could ❤️

Pur essendo io stesso italiano, non conoscevo bene la sua musica fino a circa 8 anni fa. Ero un alcolista e decisi per amore dei miei familiari di ricoverarmi in una struttura ospedaliera per disintossicarmi. Ero a 600 km da casa, solo ed in una clinica che per ovvie ragioni era una prigione mascherata da ospedale e stavo per mollare tutto. C'era pero' un piccolo giardino in quella prigione dove mi rifugiavo e quasi per sbaglio mi apparve il video di "nuvole bianche" nella home di youtube (2015, gli inizi di yt). La ascoltai e me ne innamorai, mi aiuto' molto in quei 34 giorni. Era la mia forza e cio' di cui avevo bisogno in quel momento difficile della mia vita. Ora non bevo piu da 8 anni, ne e' passata di acqua sotto i ponti ma a volte mi chiedo cosa sarebbe successo se per sbaglio, quel giorno , questo brano non fosse entrato nella mia vita. Probabilmente ora sarei in un bar . Grazie ludovico, la tua musica e' stata la mia salvezza.

the passion in his eyes... he must've played this thousands of times and still plays it with love and passion

This is like writing a love letter to the part of yourself that you hate.

The Master playing his masterpiece and touching immortality. At this performance level, music becomes art. And art becomes pure inspiration. A privilege to hear it.

The piano keys are black and white but they sound like a million colors in your mind. ♥️🎹

This is the song that made me discover Ludovico back in 2009. Still my favorite song.

It's really beautiful when you check the comments below, and you have people from all around the world listening to this masterpiece. MAESTRO! GRAZIE!

Just wanted to thank Einoudi for this song. My dog, who sadly passed away yesterday, always came and sat under the piano when I played this. He loved your music, and I’m glad I got to play your songs to him on his last day 😢. Thank you for everything you have written, it will always have a special place in our hearts ❤

There is nothing in this life that I want to do more than hear Einaudi live with my mom. His music touched me years ago when I was going through a really dark period, and then I introduced him to my mom recently when she was going through her own dark times. We both feel his music in our souls. A truly special musician. EDIT: We have tickets to see him next month, at the Royal Albert Hall no less - two bucket list goals for both of us. I am so excited :) we will both cry for sure haha.

His playing sounded so light like he was tapping a paper. So beautiful

The best part about is that even though it has no lyrics everyone hears them. But everyone hears 𝖽𝗂𝖿𝖿𝖾𝗋𝖾𝗇𝗍 𝗅𝗒𝗋𝗂𝖼𝗌, their OWN lyrics. And that’s what I love most about all Ludovicos pieces. They speak to your heart. Maybe u won’t believe me, but Ludovicos music saved my life. If it weren’t for his music, I probably wouldn’t be here writing this comment. with love from Slovakia

Two years ago, I started learning piano for a girl. I spent 5 months learning this song, and at the end I found out that my true love was the piano. Ludovico's music has had such an impact on my life because of the way he expresses emotion in his music. I'm not very good at expressing how I feel verbally, but now I can describe exactly how I feel with the songs I compose and play. I'm leaving this comment to express gratitude. Thank you for creating this tutorial and launching me into a life of music. Edit: some of y'all really be making me question my faith in humanity with how dense you are. I mean I fell in love with playing piano, not a literal piano.

How can one song make you feel SO much emotion…it’s insane. Love this song so much.

I have listened to thousands of songs and I have never, never heard of such a beautiful song. I can spend my whole life listening to this masterpiece. Anyone can relate ?

This is literally the most beautiful song I've ever heard in my entire life

He speaks to you in a language that isn’t spoken on the land of mother earth. The language you don’t know of, but still he talks to you like an old friend. The friend you’d tell all your problems to. And cry with a sigh of relief.

Such a simple song in musical terms but absolutely nobody could play it the way Ludovico does. I seen him live last week, hands down the best performance I’ll ever see in my lifetime. Felt every note.

If I had to choose one song to express both sorrow and love, this would be.

He’s so clever that it’s written in such a way that when you learn it and play it you can put your own emotion and individuality into it. The piece is just beautiful

It is only his hands that suit this song... Absolute Masterpiece..

I genuinely think that music is the language of the gods, that's why it speaks to us in ways we can't understand. It grips our souls and leaves us totally helpless.

I've listened to this song many times and i still don't know how to explain how this song makes me feel... it's sad, relaxing, alone, happy, friendly, warm... THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!! I'm also a self taught pianist and it's hard to learn this song. I've been trying to play this for about a year now and i won't give up until i can play this, i love this too much

If this isn't playing at my funeral I ain't going to die 😭

I look in his eyes and I can see how he love his masterpiece...

That facial expression, so heart warming, full of passion and emotions

For me one of the most beautiful pieces of music there is.

The biggest pianist of 21st century. His skills are insane, how he's enjoying every single note. The composition of Nuvole Bianche is biggest masterpiece for long time, but the way this man plays it is absolutely different level.

Feeling happy and sad all at once. Beautiful masterpiece

This is the song that made me want to play piano again after over 20 years. Thank you. This song is just beyond words and speaks to your soul. Thank you thank you for such truly beautiful music 🙏 and I wish everyone a wonderful life who listens and reads this. Bless you all

I literally bought a piano because i heard a street performer play a rendition of this song in the streets of Prague. At the time, I had no idea what song this was or who was playing it on the streets. 3 yrs later and the magic of the internet I started a RU-vid search of “piano prague player” (or something similar) and found the street performer on video. From there I somehow got linked to a post on Facebook which said who the performer was. I found his website, reached out asking what the beautiful song he was playing that faithful night (luckily i had a video recording of about 10 seconds of the song). He replied... Nuvole Bianche. And here we are now listening to this and a piano in a corner that I have no idea how to play. Time to change that!

He did not just played the music, he lived in that moment, I wish I could do that. Have kept the original song in my all time fav playlist.

My little dog was white as a cloud as well as the beautiful clouds in the sky, she departed after 12 years of enjoying her beautiful company and this song possibly describes so many feelings............I really miss her

The feeling hearing this masterpiece is far beyond any explanation

He's an amazing ARTIST and very good PERSON, I met him personally in Dubai..I worked on the roof of Dubai Opera...one day came in the restaurant and I recognize him and I asked him a photo..of course he was very very gentle and I took a photo with him. Really an amazing person, full of heart!!!

I’m not someone who cries easily, and this song made me tear up. There’s just so much emotion in it that it just hits you. I can’t describe how it makes me feel. There’s a sadness and I feel like almost a longing feeling to it, yet at some parts it’s as if you’re moving on from that feeling. Thank you Ludovico for this beautiful piece. 🙏

Thank you for existing

My son absolutely loves this piece. It calms his anxiety.

I discovered Einaudi through this song eight hours ago. A lucky accident....makes me wonder about emotion, destiny, time, and the small pauses where we completely lose ourselves to an artist's vision. My love to everyone reading this.

And for 6 minutes, the world was ok.

Makes me remember all the good times I had with my mother before she passed away. Makes me remember and miss other people too who are no longer in my life for whatever reason. Beautiful. Poignant. Melancholy. A masterpiece. My favorite of his.

It's like a beautiful dream. Your music takes me into the forests, deep down the sea, fly over the mountains and lay in beds of flowers. It takes me to every beautiful place on this earth. That's the power of your creations. Thank you so much for all the happiness you bring.

I love how his version doesn't sound like any of the covers on RU-vid. Simply amazing

how is it possible that a small state like Italy has seen the birth of so many great artists? they are a people of dreamers.

No words I’m just speechless I’ve never had music penetrate my soul.

This song will never get old. It will always be an emotional comfort for as long as I cherish music.

After listening to this, I realised how beautiful this world really is. The music that people play, the stars that float in the sky, The animals that roam around. We are living in such a blessed place, so lets make sure to always be thanking every person in our lives and every moment of our lives. Thank you God for all these things. God bless whoever reads this.

*He doesn't play music, but music is running in his blood.*

The first yime I heard this was when I was on hold...I was completely overwhelmed by the beauty of the music! It took me 3 years looking for the name and author of this music! Now I will remember it always! ❤😊

When you realize what music is all about... This music is about me, about you, about everyone, about mankind, it's the past, the present and future, it's about our little planet on the huge galaxy that sits on the endless universe...

My heart paused every time Einaudi did. I loved rediscovering this timeless piece all over again, and have a feeling I'll come back here for years to come. It evokes such strong emotions, especially looking at his expressions and emphases. See you all here again, over and over, for years to come. Have a great time, cheers :)

Ludovico Einaudi: l'eleganza impersonificata. Grazie

His music is so unique. It draws you in and surrounds you. His first piece I ever heard or saw was Eulogy for the Arctic. Wow! I was hooked. He is playing his on a floating barge…in the Arctic! Walls of ice boulders crashing around him. Truly amazing.

IDK why but this music just makes me feel closer to my maternal grandmother who sadly passed away from ovarian cancer in Jan 2014..abt 10 years ago... Its like someone u know ,someone u love so dearly that the music reminds u of them at somepoint Change my mind

I don't know why but every single time I heard this masterpiece I want to cry deeply...

You just know when a person, knows the piano. and this man really knows the piano. There's a difference between playing the piano and having a connection with the piano

His music…, is my only real friend on my bad days 🙏🏻

I see a lot of people playing this here on RU-vid, I have to say this is the most beautiful song played on the piano. Simply BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I learned this song during the lockdown, self-taught. I am a teenager and people my age do not listen to classical music, but I have always loved playing the piano and listening to classical music, from an early age. I spent a period away from this wonderful instrument and I have to thank Ludovico Einaudi for making me rediscover what an enormous emotion it is to play the piano. PS sorry for my English, I'm Italian.

I was going through a very hard time in life when I discovered this gem of an artist. I still go back to those days in depression when I used to cry with my friends, listening to him on repeat. Thank you for bringing me back, sir. You have my respect. Love from India ❤️🇮🇳

I am grateful I was introduced to his utterly beautiful music ❤

I love the progression and how he builds the theme. Absolutely gorgeous…

Maravilhoso, sinto uma paz profunda!! Cadê os brasileiros que tbm curtem esse tipo de música ❤️🎶✨

For me it's not a piano piece.. it's more like friend .. someone that can tell him anything..to be ws weak as i can ...to cry ...to say that I'm not ok ...i love it. Way more than what the words can tell

This gentleman is so at one with his music it's incredible to watch him play so beautifully

GRAZIE MAESTRO PER LE EMOZIONI CON CUI CI RAPISCI....

Italians are really passionate about humanity. That's why he wrote a song that you can learn and play easily, so you can feel the same of the composer.

Questa musica è come le mie parole, non potrei mai ricordarmela... è meraviglia ogni volta... È come l'alba che sorge sorge e ancora sorge ed ogni volta è la prima Volta. Il primo bacio il primo amore. Ascolto il profumo del caffè Arrivare alle mie corde vocali dopo un lungo diverbio notturno tra i sogni Tra la Guerra del giorno Che continua nella Notte. È la mia città Che si allaga l'Anima Pur di non chiedere Perdono ad un dio Manifesto Solo nel credo umiliante dell'uomo. Siamo così poveri nelle Nostre tasche di sogni, di battiti lasciati lì sul comodino. Di baci dati e non dati e voluti e non dati. Queste lacrime di Cielo picchiano e picchiano sulla pelle, sono irruente, persistono, eppure non capiamo... non togliamo le mani dalle tasche per guardare ciò che abbiamo dentro, dentro quei pugni chiusi. E picchia la Pioggia che ci vuole Vivi, più vivi, Non spugne a bere assetate anche il veleno che ci viene offerto.. Ma siamo custodi. Lumi per l'anime. Custodiamo L'anime. Dobbiamo togliere le mani dalle tasche, e aprire il pugno e guardare dentro alla mano.. E scoprire

I feel this song to the core. It sometimes helps me get a release - whether rock back and forth or cry or dance, even if I’m happy. It’s just so beautiful.

El Mozart de nuestros tiempos, excelente compositor.

His face while playing that sweet melody express everything 😭❣️

La expresión que tiene, lo que transmite, desde que lo descubrí, literalmente lo escucho a diario, es increíble como una melodia te permite sentir tanto, es un poeta musical, que admiración ☀️🌻

“Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.” - Ludwig van Beethoven

This song to me is a wistful hopefulness. Akin to witnessing the sun rise again after experiencing a great tragedy. Signifying another beginning, while still recognizing and remembering the past.

Chi non ha pianto con questa musica? Anche a me sono venuti recordi in mente, grazie maestro Ludovico...

Ich finde es so schön, so viele Kommentare in verschiedene Sprachen zu lesen. So viele Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Teilen der Erde fühlen diese Musik und hören sie, weil sie ihnen etwas bedeutet. Musik verbindet.❤️

No matter how many times I hear this., it just gets me every time. The power of music and the emotions therein are written on his face. Just beautiful. 😢

You know what united all of us? that even though we may come from different backgrounds, countries and cultures, we all close our eyes for a second, listen to this masterpiece and create a story or remember something that makes us tear a bit

What I love so much about ludovico's pieces is they leave so much room for personal interpretation. It's like you can tell what a person is like by the way he or she plays one of these pieces. Everyone plays them different, but Einaudi playing them himself is something else.

When you watch him play it’s like he’s not even there, it’s like he’s reliving a memory of a time that he felt joy, love, happiness, and fulfillment and then the song is over and he opens his eyes and remembers he’s not where is memory was, and instant disappointment. Very emotional process, beautiful.

This piece gets my eyes watering. It's so beautiful.

One day, i will be sitting watching this live and i will think of all the times ive listened to it, played to it and even cried to it. Thank you

I love how this man just zones out and seems to be alone in a bubble with his music like no one is watching, but still amazes all of us

FABULEUX... 👍👌🙏 Des, les premières notes... Des frissons, des images défilent dans la tête... De mes ex, âmes sœurs qui ont fait l'homme que je suis aujourd'hui... MERCI, MONSIEUR, pour cette romantique ballade avec vos doigts légers... Et, oui applaudissements oh, combien mérités.. Et, puis l'émotion du live... Wahoooooo 👌👍🙏 À écouter, re-écouter sans modération... Simplement, fermer les yeux.. Et, se laisser porter.. Comme en son temps, un certain Clayderman..

No importa si está obra no nos cuenta la historia de Ludovico, porque cada uno de nosotros ponemos una historia a esta pieza, la pasión de Ludovico hacen que las notas sean palabras perfectas, de una historia sublime.

I love this man! When i discovered him I could not stop playing his music. My grandchild goes to sleep with this. So peaceful! So very beautiful

Gracias.... aquí buscando mi paz interior que tanto anhelo.

Music is a language everyone understands and feels the emotions ❤

You can see how he ‘becomes’ the music and is morphed into the piece- playing with so much expression. Then, at 6:00 you see him look out and leave this space. Passion at its finest ❤

I'm gonna cry when he dies. I can't believe that he's so old and still makes music. And that's a good thing. He should keep music in his heart until the end. And I may just do the same

The emotion on his face. It makes it all the more pure and heartfelt. Will forever by my favorite piece. I really hope I get to see this live one day.. That's honestly one of my dreams.. Just to be present for a live concert.. Thank you for touching all our hearts with your music. 😭❤️

I had no idea who this man was. When I heard this it was overwhelming. This may be one of the best pieces of piano ever written. Not simple on many levels. One of the rare times in my life I have stopped a piece halfway because I want to hear all of it for the first time when I am ready.

This man is a true composer👏

Damn this is the piece of the year. This is incredible.
