I love how classical music teases you by playing something that is different yet similar to the “main riff.” Then they come back home, and and stray away, then go back the main riff with some embellishment. You are, but don’t know why, subconsciously satisfied. The piece goes on a journey, but comes back to that “main riff.” You are at unrest until it does, and when it does, it’s just beautiful. Hope that makes sense.

It's not. Every piece by Chopin has a lot of meaning to Chopin. This polonaise was written due to the annexe of Poland. Chopin had to flee to France or he would be arrested/killed. Leaving his family behind when Poland were begging him to stay. In France, he was thinking about Poland with sadness and believed that Poland would one day be liberated. This piece tells that story.

@nooneimportant4961

2y↑2

@@darrenj.griffiths9507 Umm, you got it all wrong my dude. He was out of Poland already when the uprising broke, so he didn't "leave Poland behind." He didn't even know that Poles were planning the uprising, and he was in Stuttgart when he found out that it failed - only after that he went to France. Poland wasn't begging him to stay, on the contrary, he wanted to come back and help as much as he could, but his family told him to stay out of the country because it was safer for him. The Russian tsar told him that he might come back, but he said that although he didn't fight in the uprising, he identifies with the Poles who did and therefore stayed in exile for the rest of his life.

I do all of the audio work and designed the distinct piano sound which is an amalgamation of kontakt libraries and processing, all of the arranging/sheet music engraving, all of the graphic design/artworks/branding work and all of the social media posts/marketing.

My all time favorite Rondo. It is so unique that the main them started from beginning when the left accompaniment and the right melody synched so well. However, started from 3:16, the left hand start to whirl itself and failed to follow the right hand, which waited a little bit and started a new melody. From 4:22, the left hand finally was able to catch up and commit to support the right hand again. After a mesmerizing run-in period, at 5:53 they were eventually able to back at where they started, that beautiful theme was reformed with more infectious and power.

Finally the great Rousseau plays one of my favorite pieces of all time and he plays it with emotion and beauty I can now finally sleep at night knowing that one of my dreams have come true because if I’m not skilled enough to play at least one of my favorite pianist out there is able to play it so I can be able to see and hear it thank you and I’m thankful for all your hard work you put into piano and not only just piano but for us you sacrifice a lot for us and I’m very appreciative for that so thank you Rousseau I hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving surrounded by friends and family you love.

I just love the way you do the arpeggios in thesd 3 chords
I listened so many interpretations of this piece, langlang, lisitsa, kissin etc but none of them did it they way you did, they just played the regular chords.

My mother (now 44) memorized and played this for a competition in her senior year of high school. I (14) am also learning piano, and I'm so lucky to be taught by my own mom. I hope I'll be this good one day that I'll be able to play this!
