**does the creepy grinch grin **

Chopin prelude o.28 n.4 last 3 chords - *nods in pride*

That made me smile

Samuel M. Lol

Samuel M. More like how many tenths

True words.

just saw this comment

Never thought that trap loves classics

Hi there buddy. Trap ❤️ classic from today

Damn, never thought you guys would be here.

I remembered the movie Amélie Poulain, check out the soundtrack for this movie, it's in the same style

Agreed

practicing this part almost made me self-destruct

struggling with this section right now lol, the octaves are pain

@@HaydenPianoCovers you're not alone :)

Right you are.

Piece*

@@ramen9158 Username checks out. Yeah, I know it's a piece now. When I made that comment, I didn't know of that distinction.

I actually first heard this piece in an old, obscure Macintosh RPG, called Odyssey: The Legend of Nemesis. I only ever played the demo, but it’s where I first heard this and Chopin’s Waltz in A minor Op. 34 no. 2.

Me: just a gentleman song/piece

I love your original work vids that sound sinister

Thx bro

I read that as BACH prelude lol

Ayyyyy

Ahh u like Russians too

Lmao I experienced the exact same thing when I started playing it

agreed

Its tough though, but rewarding

Agreed!

Yea, this song is fun, but it can wreck your hands. It messed up mine pretty good. I was too tense.

Yes.

@@ramonxulvi-mojarrango2474🗿

Remind me rach 2nd thme from his 2nd concerto(3rd movement)

finally found a comment that agreed with me. :)

Same bro 😭

Funnily enough, it's probably the easiest section to learn (at least personally) 😅 Then again, at that point you've already all the hardest parts. The middle section is the hardest for me, just to remember the fingering. The rest is spent playing so fast that you can only learn it via muscle memory, but the middle section gives you just enough time to doubt yourself 😢

I got to that part right as I read your comment. This is also my favorite part.

I used you the way you wanted me...😎

Sounds kinda gay....

Bónis Kozák-sólyom no u

He's so good that I double clicked your button

Hi

Which chords are those?

@@anthuaizaba3100 if you are asking me to specify their names exactly, you are asking the wrong person. I do not have much musical knowledge myself. The segment I am referring to is from 0:37 to 0:50

@@MN-co6rb I believe its Eb - Bb - Dm - F (Fm) - Cm - Ebmaj7 - Asus4 - A - D

Yeah to me to.

@@syren_ide thanks ^-^

I feel you!

It's not classical, it's romanticism

@@SpaceUA1imagine replying to a 4-year old comment just to correct someone ☝️🤓

@@patrickgd7583 There is an always room for improvement 🤓

⁠@@SpaceUA1bro romanticism is still classical music

Hai ragione

SCREAMING

Lmaoooo

Sergei Rachmaninoff ok

Даров тёзка! :)

HAHAHAHAHAHA

strong ✊🏼

How much did you practice? Did you have any experience beforehand? Is an 88key needed?

Pog

Can you upload a video playing it pls

@@burnercolt6647 I can play most of this piece, (just now learning the rest after forgetting about it for a while) the most difficult part is playing accuratly at tempo, ( for the first and last bits at least, although the middle is challenging as well) the key to learning this piece is memory, as there are so many different chords. you really dont need very large hands for this it just looks like you do, mine can span about 10 keys and i can play this piece very comfortably, start learning small sections at a time and dont worry about the tempo, stress on getting the fingering correct especially in the left hand for the middle section. as i mentioned before the hardest part about the begining and end is playing cleanly without missing any notes, be sure to not use alot of pedal when learning this as it can mask mistakes. by the time i finish this i will have practiced it for about 4 months.

Yes! Maybe the Revolutionary Etude?

Étude Op. 25, No. 5 "Wrong Note"

Rousseau who’s not feeling like one?

Etude op10 no 1

Op.25 n.5 - Wrong Note plis

Daniela Castriotta this is still one of this easiest pieces in my opinion

CmonBruh wtf hahahahahahaha

@@elusivefrog Really? I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I've played both (my only Rachmaninoff pieces :) ) but I find this one harder... Specifically the end section.

@@elusivefrog i think this is easier to memorize, but not to play, or at least not musically perfect, mostly because of its fast chord progressions and octaves

Dingus i’ve learned both and from my experience at least, prelude in c# is much easier. this prelude has musicality that’s more difficult to grasp and better technique to master. prelude in c# appears and sounds harder than it actually is

Same

lol, who loves to make ur left hand suffer (MM3)

Prelude in c# minor

It's stupid to think anyone is born a genius. Did he let out awesome genius farts in his diaper?

@@andredelacerdasantos4439 well Mozart made his first piece at age 6 its called minuet

Can you guys tell me more about Rach history? Like interesting, funny facts

Very true, however at least a timeframe or something like that would be cool after so much asking.

@@sebastienandre-sloan3943 yes I agree. He should have some pity on us mortals! 🤣

I'm pretty sure that he hinted in the comments of his 1,000,000 subscriber special (Ballade #1), he would be saving Hungarian Rhapsody for when he reaches two million. "A 'No. 1 for 1 million and a No. 2 for...?'"

@@jackbergman427 yeah...

i feel like hes not uploading it for 2 reasons. one for the preformance quality and 2 for the meme

I wish thedislike button still existed so annoying

​@@yeetub🤓🤓

2nd as a whole. but 3rd's 3rd movement is simply incomparable.

The second concerto is one of my favourites

2nd is much better. Although I really want you to play sonata no.2 by Rachmaninoff.

the first. lmao

The 3rd one of course!

Same part at 0:37 - 0:55 as well. You're spot on though, has an almost "Heroic" sound to it.

0:00-4:23 as well

I remembered the movie Amélie Poulain, check out the soundtrack for this movie, it's in the same style

@@LeventK YOU ARE EVERYWHERE

James Loggins somehow reminds me of Star wars

true

i see everyone talking about 0:35 but the middle section is soooo beautiful, it's my favorite part

No, it was his birthday anniversary

No one cares about that baroque crap I’m debeste

Haha

@@cheemes4536 Birthday anniversary and birthday mean the same thing, since the birthday is the day of the year in a given calendar that birth fell on for a certain amount of years ago. Birthdays don't stop after you're dead.

@@KingstonCzajkowski To me, birthday means 'day of birth'. Not 'day in the calender that happens to have exact same date'

I prefer my mondays messy

Samee

@@ludwigamadeushaydn706 your name gave me a stroke

@@a2kvarnstrom80 duhee

Hashly You meant Synthesia, not Synesthesia

@@xuly3129 haha yes, yes I did...

Omw I can only imagine how difficult it must have been learning from synthesia, it must have taken forever!

@@Dominique632 I believe it took me about 3-4 weeks to completely memorize the piece. Still perfecting it to this day, it's just so tricky. Still lots of fun to play, though.

No way you’ve learned this piece from Synthesia that’s amazing

it uses common chord repetition found in "epic music" today.

It reminds me of transformers

@@ewcho8995 you're ritht! I'm sure I've heard this enywhere else... Do you now a specific song where this part was used? I was thinking about it for days...

also 0:00-4:24

Lennart Laqua If you mean has it been used in modern songs, then most likely. But i dont know any examples of it in modern songs. However, Alkan le preux has something similar at 0:17

It touches something so deep in me, I can't explain

Almost sounds like zelda

Me too and also Star Wars vibes

@@janosattilanyilas9680 probably because it falls under some of the same chords that Across the Stars uses in Star Wars

1:22 this

arthurwkm, I actually first heard this piece in an old, obscure Macintosh RPG, called Odyssey: The Legend of Nemesis. I only ever played the demo, but it’s where I first heard this and Chopin’s Waltz in A minor Op. 34 no. 2.

Chopin is machine gun Liszt is minigun

@@mr.uchiha3937 And Rachmaninoff is a goddamn chainsaw

700th like, and oh geez you are right

Spasibo!

@@Rousseau Ты русский! А то я все это время думал что ты француз. вот пижон.

@@abbasgashimov you cant just say hes Russian he probably used Google translate to understand the comment and then said spasibo because everyone knows what that means Maybe he is? But spasibo doesn't tell you that right away

@@nootics I think that was such kind of joke, and you just missed it 😄

@@greatsarmatae lol yeah I understood the ты русский but I don't speak the language so I didn't understand the rest Well then thx for the info anyway

Yes, literally about to write with this as a soundtrack

You didn't studied correctly man, you must Go part per part

ellen dalla nora Even with perfect practice technique, pieces will still be difficult.

How tf do you almost lose your life playing piano?

He was held at gunpoint and the giy said “Do not play Rachmaninoff Prelude in G Minor ir I will shoot you”

Jannis ÖÄ Maybe you didn't play this professionally like him. You should learn more and more for some results

p a m i r like Liszt and Paganini

@@pamir8337 lol thats true, but maybe to other pianists ?

but rach was born in the 1900's...

well actually not... but he was recognized at the starting of the 20th century

If he played this prelude in the 1800s I'm sure he would be praised, since it was composed early 1900s

Ikr

Trying to play this on an actual grand piano makes my fingers split in half, my hands small as hell

Believe it or not, but his third piano concerto was dedicated to the man whom Sergei considered to be the best pianist (and the most pianistic to boot): Josef Hofmann. Alas, Hofmann had smaller hand spans, which led to Steinway producing instruments for Hofmann that were a few cm shorter along the 88 keys.

winter_wind lmao

Now put moonlight sonata m.3 to wake you up in the morning

Dude, I swear you’re the Justin Y. of piano videos

Glad to see somebody else into minor classical music. :) Have you tried Liszt's solo piano arrangment on Schubert's "Der Erlkönig" (off of the Goethe poem) or the Mephisto Waltzes or Transcendental Etudes? I also think you might enjoy Chopin Etudes Op. 25 (not that Op. 10 isn't any better).

Albert Del can I tell you something

In another comment about HR2. Rousseau said he hasn’t even started yet he played at the end of one of his covers as a joke he’s been practicing ballade 1!

Jack Sun yup

Jack Sun he is. When he gets close to 2 mill, he’ll start practicing. I work for him

Definitely a vampire... Definitely.

Don't give up!!😁👍

Are you done yet?

same here :)

are you done yet

Good luck!

Mozart’s pieces are, as most people don’t know, usually hard. Especially his sonatas. The reason people don’t usually acknowledge it is because the difficulty comes from the interpretations and the way it is designed. Someone once said “Mozart is easy for kids, but hard for artists.” I totally agree with that quote.

@@lolidk2713 true but most people know the easier ones

Thanks for your kind reply. Yes, it is my bad. I didn’t see that you were saying Mozart in a more general way, which differed from what I thought about Mozart.

@@lolidk2713 thank you to you as well widening my point of view about Mozart.

Slower?

👍🏾

Are they on your level of playing now?

Hope you can play them now!

Where Bach's Toccata and Fugue shall be waiting for them.

Lol

Yes. My favorite piece. Even better when played like a lullaby.

@@MrAegis-bb1eq totally agree.

Weeb. but i agree.

Oh my god, yes. His music feels so passionate. His music also sounds very russian. Definitely my favourite composer next to Chopin.
