Mozart - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (12 variations on Ah vous dirai-je, Maman) 

Mozart. 12 variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" - the melody we most associate today with 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'. It's amazing to think that the original melody was written only 40 years before these variations were composed (a childrens folk song from France), and today is one of the first and most important melodies we all grow up with - I still remember the feeling of realization that the Alphabet song and Twinkle Twinkle were the same melody! It's quite fitting that one of the most important melodies in human history received variation treatment from one of the most important composers in human history. I hope you have an awesome week ♥

“See, it’s a happy piano after all!”

Me : *starts playing the piece in front of my class* The class: *laughing* Me : just wait ...

Rousseau: *plays this* Kids: *C o N f U s E d S i N g I n G*

Mozart is a genius. He managed to play twinkle twinkle little star, the alphabet song, and baa baa black sheep all at once.

How good are you at piano? What is your hardest piece? "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" That's easy, I thought you were good... "You don't understand."

People: Is twinkle twinkle Little Star easy or hard? Mozart: Yes

Me: goes close to a piano People: WOAHH!! Is that a Your Lie in April reference?!

Why everyone in the Comments talk about “Your lie in April”? You guys make me cry...

Everyone: *Your lie in April references* Me: Just now realizing this melody been around since the 1700's

80% Your Lie in April references 20% Others But where's the TWOSET References? Ling Ling can make 120 variations

Your lie in April fans: *rise*

1:02 this went from "twinkle twinkle little star" to "explode explode the death-star" in a minute

He learned to live, from a girl who was going to die.

Friend: "Can you play the piano?" Me: "Well I can play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" Friend: "Oh, so you can't play" Me:

"How bored was Mozart?"- My sister 2020

I can't unsee this piece without thinking Your Lie in April, I know it's repetitive on the comments but that Anime just hits so hard every piano piece they played there hit so hard and the fact They both only played together ONCE Hits so hard.

Just scrolling until I see a your lie in April reference... Well that didn't take long

90%: see? It’s a happy piano 9%: is this Kousei’s variations? 1%: TY Rousseau for playing this 🙏🙏

Have you ever played these variations? (Or did you give up after the theme?)

Let’s be real, all of us are here for one of three reasons 1) your lie in April 2) soothing sleep music/ help a baby sleep 3) to learn how to play this.

I remember someone who couldn't hear that note, but he still played twinkle song in a cafe.

Alternative titles/captions for the variations: Main tune (0:01): Okay, nice and calm... Let's just let them wait... I (1:01): Alright, let's start showing off now... II (1:55): Well, time to prove I'm ambidextrous III (2:43): Okay, now I'll just change up the melody just a tad IV (3:35): Suspense starts to kick in, still pretty calm though V (4:26): Okay let's make them think it's almost back to normal. False sense of security, right? VI (5:11): Time to speed it up a notch for each hand in turn. Have fun following that you idiots VII (5:56): Kinda like II, but with a nicer feel to it VIII (6:42): Fuck it, it's Halloween IX (7:48): Nice little soothing melody then *L O W*, soothing melody then *L O W*... X (8:36): Haha arms go criss-cross XI (9:21): Okay fiiiine, I suppose it is supposed to be used as a lullaby... boring peasants. As revenge, this part will go on for three minutes for no reason other than to spite you XII (12:21): I've been playing for s o o o o o long, my hands are shaking. Gonna make the most of that though

There are quite a few big videos in the works coming soon - what are you hoping that they are? ;)

Imagine it's a kid talent show and the kid says he'll play Twinkle, twinkle little star and everyone's like, oh, how cute, and then the kid starts playing this perfectly and they're all just staring like whoa 😯

After seeing this: Are you left or right handed? me: no

*imagine how great it is being Rousseau’s neighbour*

*Piano levels:* 1. Easy 2. Medium 3. Hard 4. Very hard 5. Impossible 6. Wth 7. Twinkle Twinkle

Im watching this after seeing " Gu RaRa " play this in the drama " Dodosolsollalasol "

I can never hear twinkle twinkle little star ever again without seeing kaori and kousei's faces..

Me as a beginner: hey pianist friends what music would you advise for a beginner? Pianist friends: why not try to play *twinkle twinkle little star* Me: finds video * profusely sweats*

Unconsciously I got a feeling that it would stop at the moment arima stopped

I’m here after Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol..✨⭐️💫

When you hear you mommy’s humming song as a piano masterpiece.

Ah... reminds me of the old days... *MORE CLASSIC PLEASE.* Pls play one of the following:- *HEROIC POLONAISE* *GRANDE VALSE BRILLIANTE* (Op.18) *WRONG NOTE* Etude (Op.25 No.5) *CHROMATIQUE* Etude (Op.10 No.2) *ARPEGGIO* Etude (Op.10 No.11) *Waltz in A Minor* (Op.posth) *Waltz in B Minor* (Op.69 No.2) *Waltz in Ab Major* (Op.69 No.1) *RAGE OVER A LOST PENNY* *PATHETIQUE* *WALDSTEIN* *HAMMERKLAVIER* *HUMORESQUE* (Dvorak) *BARCAROLLE* (Tchaikovsky) *MAZEPPA* *FEUX FOLLETS* *WILDE JAGD* *CHASSE-NEIGE* *TARANTELLA* *THE ENTERTAINER* *MAPLE LEAF RAG* *HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHOPIN VERSION* And also, if you could, please play some MJ songs! Or some songs from the movie The Sound Of Music. Leave a like so that Rousseau can see and deliver!

Me: Mom can I play easy songs? Mom: no we have easy songs at home The easy songs at home:

The original music was from a French song "Ahh mom I want to tell to you" (Ah! vous dirai-je, maman). His mother passed away right before these variations were written. It's hard to imagine what he was going through - he must be carrying all the sadness and writing these variations. Was that he wanting to convince himself that his Mother was still watching him from the heaven? Or was he trying to get out of that sadness and find something random to do so started to write this? Or just because of the title of the original song?

When someone laughs at you when you say you're going to play "twinkle twinkle little star"

YES YES YES!!!! I have been waiting for this!!! "It’s a happy piano after all!”

“The reason why scars don’t heal when you try to forget is because trying to forget makes you remember”

Who wants Rousseau to play Spanish Rhapsody by Liszt?!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

This reminds me of the happy/sad memories of Your Lie In April. It was a great anime!

It's a year since the last beethoven video

Do do sol sol la la sol (K-Drama) xd

I've remembered anime Your lie in April :,-)

"The Piano is meant to be played like you're embracing it, right?" "See? it's an Happy Piano after all!" *Your lie in April* :(

Me: Hey Rousseau can you play- Rousseau: Yes

the alphabet went from 26 letters to a 14-minutes long video

*likes the video* *sees the dislikes* "WHO THE HECK DISLIKES THIS???!!" 😂😂😂

It's all right isn't it? Do you know how many people have been addicted to classical music through this masterpiece anime? Many people, including me started to learn and play piano after watching this heartwarming anime and now after 4 years I am an intermediate pianist. So if people find happiness by mentioning their favourite anime on a video related to classical music where they find direct connection between the two,I don't think there's anything wrong in it! Instead we should thank the anime that so many young people have been introduced to this magical world of classical music. And I think we should be less critic about the minor things like this. :)

Finally something i can play *Oh nevermind*

Remember your lie in april...

Is this the closest we'll get to Your Lie In April? *I'm taking it*

Rachmaninoff's liebesleid pleasee😁

This is basically my childhood but massively upgraded.
