    Ask and you shall receive, here is Fantaisie-Impromptu by Chopin!! With this piece we are now halfway to 100 videos, I'm truly grateful for you all as a community and love reading your comments on all of my videos - you are the reason Rousseau exists. There is more than one piece of Chopin's where he has taken inspiration from Beethoven, sometimes directly and sometimes subtly, but it's clear he was a great admirer of his works. Can you hear the Moonlight Sonata quote here?

    My Mother was an accomplished pianist. As a child I used to get tired of hearing her play. I didn't realize how difficult and gifted my mother was. She played as well as you. This pierce is known as one of the hardest of piano pieces. She used to tell me she could've been a Concert Pianist. Her Dad kept her from playing in an orchestra. So bad of her Dad. My Mom played beautifully. Then she couldn't, she contracted Rheumatoid Arthritis. What a shame. Made me sad.

    For anyone here researching for school, this information might help. Chopin composed many of his famous works on his death bed and he also asked for the sheet music of those works to be burned (including this one) in his fireplace. He wanted this piece to be burned because he thought the melody sounded a lot like Beethoven's 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata. This piece was published by his friend (who didn't burn the sheet music because he thought that it sounds really good) after he died along with most of his other works, Chopin didn't quite experience the wealth and popularity that Liszt had. Chopin had a very sad life but he made the most beautiful romantic pieces in my opinion. If that bit of information helped you to react to this piece, I'm really glad to help.
    Edit: I just discovered that he actually composed this piece to sound somewhat like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata but not just the 3rd movement. He composed this piece as an improvise of all the movements of Moonlight Sonata (as the name suggests "impromptu"), but he initially wanted it to sound like a piece of its own but he accidentally made it sound a lot like Moonlight Sonata. I personally think that it doesn't sound like the Moonlight Sonata that much, but if Chopin said that the 2 pieces sounds similar then he must be right. Besides, my ears are nowhere perfect and I don't have perfect pitch and I have little to no knowledge about Music Theory. There's also a meaning to the name "fantaisie" but I'm too lazy to research about it.

Moonlight sonata mvmt 3 is fast, intense, and dark, whereas this is fast of course but to me seems more "beautiful" and soothing especially during the slow section.

      @@default7712 I’d recommend just doing the octaves for the right hand and then add section in the middle using the 2nd and 3rd finger and playing it as chords. Then you can begin to break that up and playing it slowly.
      The left hand in the beginning shouldn’t be too difficult to do with the 5th, 4th, 2nd and 1st finger, but I don’t know how big your hands are so you might have to move your hand with the movement if that makes sense. When you get to the B move your hand and use the 5th again and the 3rd, 2nd 1st respectively on f# A and B. Hope you don’t mind me telling you this haha-

    Hi Rousseau. I recently got back my exam results for my diploma for piano. The results were what I didn't want but I'll accept it. I failed it. I know everyone is gonna look down on me. Put in my best efforts but nope, still failed. You don't have to sympathise me. It isn't the end of the world. We all make mistakes and we learn from them. But I kinda think this is different and I wasted 2 years of life and spent tons of money into this and the results didn't satisfy me. I just wanted to say that Rousseau, you're my idol for piano and you play very good. Just keep making what you do and keep playing the piano!

    I volunteer at my local museum and art gallery and i was in on one New Year's day and a pianist played this and ever since then it's been one of my most favourite piano pieces. I got to spend two hours in one of my favourite places listening to a professional play the most beautiful music ever. I had started that new year so well i knew it was all going to be down hill from there. 😂
