FIRST AND THIS PROVES IT edit: I just realized since I'm first I'm gonna be notified for every single reply people make on here

Please more pictures at the exhibition

Rousseau great job!

Nice and hi rousseau please respond on me

@@allegrovivace6806 Far from it, people were here almost a day ago because of Discord ;) If you want to be first join us there haha

Trumpets at 0:26 too!

I like promenade

Its remind me liszts funerallies begining

I've always thought of the chords at the very beginning as the bells

Sort of like Lyapunov's Transc. Etude "Carillon"

Well, it's pretty obvious that all of Rousseau's performances are always great.

Because by the time they watch the whole video they wouldn't be first to comment

@@Ingyer1 they will still be first, they just wouldn't be able to prove it to anyone.

@@fbi6893 That's why I said first _to comment_ , which I think is what they mean when people comment "first"

@@Ingyer1 but you have edited your comment...

My sisters actually laugh when I play it to them 😂

@@XxaexxeaxX it was also the image of yaga that freaked me out😅

@@katusha8891 I just looked it up and don't think my sisters would be laughing anymore......

@@XxaexxeaxX 🤣🤣🤣

​@@XxaexxeaxXactually Yaga used to be shown as a positive character but then she became evil in russian fairy tales, don't know why

D- RUGG uhhhh

Hahaha

Noooooooooooooo

~ˇ^°˙˝^ˇ-

The more I look at this comment, the more it makes me laugh!

That would be cool.

‘Hello I’m Rousseau and today for our first lesson we’ll just start with something easy and comfortable. So to start with I want you to sight read all of La Campanella first time with no mistakes’

😂😂😂

"Before I teach you, you need to grow 1 more hand. Don't grow one and you leave right now."

@@olilea5522 Hahaha this would be sooo cool!

Luke Faulkner Lol

why do I see you everywhere?

I see your comments everywhere 😂

Because he is everywhere xD

Liszt would certainly have been able to do so. He had huge hands, without doubt the largest of any pianist ever. Rachmaninov also had very large hands.

Well, I can't play it.

jokes on you, i can play this entire piece in the video with only 10,000 mistakes

hope you mean all the 12 variations

@@lune9383 I can play everything with every possible mistake there is Edit: I'm trying to learn Mozarts sonata no 16 K545 first movement

@@crazycreeper6029 very nice it should be easy too learn as long as you practice scales. Unlike me :(

andrea owowowowoowo uwu

I LOVE YOU ANDREAUWU ❤

🥖

Agreed! 🥖

OMG same for me but I just started almost half a year before you.

I started a year ago too because of Rosseau :)

Oscar Fish me too, I started 8 month agos, and I can play La Campanella and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

Le 2ème 2gré I started 6 months and now I can play all piano pieces at the same time in 0 seconds

Can I ask how old are you guys? Cause I’m 15 turning 16 but I really want to learn how to play, is it too late for me? Huhuhuhu

yes

Was used in the game Catherine!

The Gates of Kiev sounds like when you win.

Omg it totally does!

@@dustmite5887 Catherine is really good

It's Kiev And it's The Hut On Fowl's Legs

@@swooty2805 'Kyiv' is an accepted alternate spelling of the Ukrainian city of Kiev. Both 'hen' and 'fowl' are acceptable translations of the Russian word 'курьих'. Remember, these words are translated from a different language with a different alphabet, so there can be multiple correct translations.

@@swooty2805 It's spelled 'Kyiv' in Ukrainian ('Kiev' is how it's spelled in Russian), and now that Ukraine is an independent country, 'Kyiv' is considered the correct spelling.

@@eriknewland3686 it's Kyiv in Ukrainian (КИЇВ - KYIV), and Kiev is just an idiotic russian spelling.. :) We don't say Peris or Parees instead of Paris, so please use correct letters when you talk about Kyiv ^-^

@@oleksandrachernysh767 Spelling for pronounciation and spelling closer to original is the difference, I guess.

I don't understand, how is it clever? I'm just asking by the way

Mussorgsky's Pictures of an exhibition are what it says : pictures. They are meant to represent real paintings of one of Mussorgsky's friend (I guess he died a little before they were made and it's a tribute but I'm not entirely sure, maybe I'm romanticizing it a little bit lmao), and more precisely what an observer could see during an exposition. The main theme and the first piece, which we can hear through all the Pictures is supposed to represent the observer going from one picture to another, as well as his/her current mood. And so every piece of this set does represent a real picture (which you can find because they are real, although I think the Great Gate of Kiev is unfinished, but once again, not entirely sure) and has different gimmicks. For example, Baba Yaga (an eastern Europe/Russia famous witch) is known for not being able to walk correctly and needing a cane, hence the use of notes accentuated not on time, which gives this limping feeling. The 2nd part has always made me think of a bubbling cauldron, but I understand it can be taken as personal interpretation (even if Baba Yaga is known for loving to cook children). And the last virtuoso part which go from down of the keyboard all the way to the top represents her flying away on her flying broom. These are just tiny details and all of the pieces (including Baba Yaga, which I barely scratched the surface of) have soooooo much more things to say ! I highly recommend to listen to it in a whole and, if you like it, looking a little further into the prosody of the pieces, because Mussorgsky had a lot to tell with them ! Definitely my favourite piano set personally!

@@bubulle4697 Great summary. Only thing I would add is that one definition of the word promenade is a piece of music played as people enter a ballroom, so I wonder if the promenade is ment to signify walking through the different rooms of the art exhibition. Idk, just a thought

@@PuddintameXYZ as english is not my first language I had never heard of this meaning for "promenade" so thank you for the clear up ! I'll keep this in mind next time I listen to it. I had always seen the word Promenade in the French way, which only means "walk" so yeah it had never come across my mind before

@@bubulle4697 Don't worry, your English is just fine! I had to look up "promenade" in the dictionary to get that meaning.

*YAHHH WE'RE HERE HUNGARIAN ETUDE NO. 5 IN Eb MIJOR OP. 69. NO 420*

@@dapperdecidueye247 lol would a "mijor" be a seven chord?

What an accomplishment at age 13! My son learned the Promenade pretty easily but the scale portion on The Great Gate of Kiev was too difficult and he was 16 at the time. I begged him to finish it but he gave up. 😂

That would be great, actually.

@Der freshe boi Glaub nicht, sonst wüsste er das ein "r" fehlt...

i hope it's Liszt's transcription

He’s gonna need a singer as well for that

@@danielzhang7408 Liszt made an arrangement of that piece for solo piano.

I'm a classical musician( I listen and play piano,amateur not professional), but I gotta say sometimes it actually DOES get boring. Not this piece though

I always loved classical because there are no more versions other than the original movement. Than the pop songs having lots of versions and covers to play on the piano.

Classical music is truly amazing

It's no wonder, the way it is introduced in shcool is the absolute worse, just like books. Used to hate them both as a teenager because i was forced to listen/read it, it seems like work to me instead of enjoyement. Imagine giving this homework for teenager : Finish dark souls, when they have no prior experience with video game or very little, pretty sure they will grow to hate video games. It's only when i was about 25 y/o that i gave another shot to classical music and books that i learn to enjoy it.

I want to be honest and that is from my point of view, so pls if there are haters it is your fault not mine, so don't attack me right now pls, but so here it is: I really hate pop music, classical music is the best, pop is shit.

Liszt:Hungarian Rhapsody No.6 Ravel:Idk Rachmanioff:Prelude in C# minor,Op.3 No.2 Chopin:Etude Op.25 No.12

Ivo Pogorelich is my favorite, but Rousseau's done a good job. A little faster than I prefer, but not bad

For sheer "how the F did he do that!?" impressiveness, I like Yamashita's guitar version!

Да

ItzTheBlondie _ what happened?

What happened?

Yeah what happened?

Someone tell!!!! The suspense is killing me!

Bet that sounds beautiful as well. 🥰

@random fish guy off the streets True

YES I MISS IT EVERY VID

Good times

Totalmente de acuerdo. Elevaron la música clásica al futuro

Yeah

Why do i see you in every video i watch

The new justin y

You're back again bro

Believe it or not, this is the original. The orchestral version is the arrangement

So true tho

Classical Piano History, Russian Art is not the same are Rusian Art. Kievan Rus isn’t Russia. Had to be said

To much to read but on my behalf very interesting

SOOOO UNDERRATED!

samee

It may sound cliche, but it really is only practice :)

@@Rousseau 40 hours a day

@@Rousseau Do you watch twoset?

Twoset... lol

Well you all know that practice makes perfect

A tí también. Oscar, desde España.

Mussorsky has the skill to comine notes that wouldnt nirmally fit together to make it harmonic.

I think those are actually called “accidentals,” and they’re notes in a piece that don’t match the key they’re in

Made me smile

Youre in almost every classical music video

Find the whole piece. Though these last two movements are the most famous (besides perhaps the promenade) the entire Pictures at an Exhibition is fascinating. Listening to an orchestra play it is magical
