Trained at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, Einaudi began his career as a classical composer, later incorporating other styles and genres such as pop, rock, folk, and world music.
Einaudi has composed the scores for a number of films and television productions, including This Is England, The Intouchables, I'm Still Here, the TV miniseries Doctor Zhivago, and Acquario (1996), for which he won the Grolla d'oro. His music was used as the score for the Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning films Nomadland and The Father.
He has also released a number of solo albums for piano and other instruments, notably I Giorni in 2001, Nightbook in 2009, and In a Time Lapse in 2013. On 1 March 2019, Einaudi announced a seven-part project named Seven Days Walking, which was released over the course of seven months in 2019.
In 2005, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.
Einaudi was born in Turin, Piedmont. His father, Giulio Einaudi, was a publisher working with authors including Italo Calvino and Primo Levi, and founder of Giulio Einaudi Editore, while his paternal grandfather, Luigi Einaudi, was President of Italy between 1948 and 1955. His mother, Renata Aldrovandi, played the piano to him as a child. Her father, Waldo Aldrovandi, was a pianist, opera conductor, and composer who emigrated to Australia after World War II.
Einaudi started composing his own music as a teenager, first writing by playing a folk guitar. He began his musical training at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, obtaining a diploma in composition in 1982. That same year he took an orchestration class taught by Luciano Berio and was awarded a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival. According to Einaudi, "[Luciano Berio] did some interesting work with African vocal music and did some arrangements of Beatles songs, and he taught me that there is a sort of dignity inside music. I learnt orchestration from him and a very open way of thinking about music." He also learned by collaborating with musicians such as Ballaké Sissoko from Mali and Djivan Gasparyan from Armenia. His music is ambient, meditative, and often introspective, drawing on minimalism and contemporary pop.

I learned to play this by breaking it down into sections and drilling one section a day for several hours, or until I was confident.
* Here's my method: *
Section 1 = 0:03 - 0:32
Section 2 = 0:33 - 0:56
Section 3 = 0:57 - 1:21
Section 4 = 1:22 - 1:47
Section 5 = 1:48 - 2:14
Section 6 = 2:15 - 2:59
Section 7 = 3:00 - 3:28
Repeat sections 1 - 7
(Finale) Section 8 = 5:42 - 6:17
I really hope this helps someone! Good luck!

For those hesistating to try, i strongly suggest y'all to just do it. It took me only 3 hrs to learn it and a week to master it.
Some tips:
1. Learn and be clear of the 4 chords of the left hand as the whole song only have these 4 chords.
2. For right hand, do not just blindly read from the sheets and play note by note for the entire piece. Find patterns as alot of it is mostly repetitive.
3. Practise slowly and do not rush to finish the entire song in 1 day. Just do it slowly and make sure you are clear on the notes. (This helps in muscle memory)
4. Lastly NEVER NEVER give up. It may be hard or boring but trust me, satisfaction is what u will get after learning this piece. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Edit: Thanks guys! Always happy to help :D

When I was younger I always heard this song and thought it was beautiful, and now I finally found it. My mom has stage 4 cancer and she will pass soon. I'll most likely be playing this at her funeral.
I love you mom❤
UPDATE:
3 months later
25/12/2019, christmas day,
she unfortunately passed away.
Thank you all for the nice messages. Thank you mom for always caring for me and our family. I love you, rest in peace angel ❤

I will learn to play this. Whether it take a month a year or 10. I will come back to this comment when I am done.
Edit: Thursday 18th June 2020
Wow. I am quite emotional right now as I have just for the first time finished playing the whole piece start to finish. The support from this comment has been so overwhelming and touching. I had just posted this comment as an individual reminder to make sure I follow through with my dream of being able to play this magnificent piece so you can imagine my shock when I saw the response. I never forgot about this comment as some may have thought and the combined support from everyone really helped me make that dream a reality. So to everyone that commented or liked - Thank You.
I think you all deserve an explanation of how my journey went so here it goes right from the start:
I am 19 and a complete novice pianist. I have had no experience with any musical instrument and have no knowledge of any music theory. Whilst studying for exams 2 years ago I stumbled upon classical music and gradually started to fall for the beauty found within a piano. By listening to Rousseau I would constantly listen to 3 of his covers. Für Elise, River Flows in You and Nuvuole Bianche. I wished I could play all of them but they all seemed so difficult. A few months later I, quite randomly, decided to play the piano in my house that I hadn't touched in years. After messing around for a while I remembered the dream I had to be able to play the Piano, even if it was just one piece. So I started to learn Für Elise. At the start it was difficult but gradually I learnt and got better. All the knowledge I gained was from YouTube tutorials and it took me a few weeks before I could properly play Für Elise (without all the hard parts of course). Once I had learned to play Für Elise I had enough confidence to start leanring River Flows in You. I spent months learning and refining my skills till again I had managed it. Then there was Nuvuole Bianche. I still dreamt of being able to play it but watching Rousseau's hands fly over the notes just made it seem like this piece was out of my capability. Fast forward a few more months and I was heading off to university. I did not have access to a piano when I was at university however it was within those first few weeks there that I posted this comment. I still wanted to learn this piece but I set myself a reminder so that I wouldn't forget when I went back home. Over the 2019 Christmas break I learned the first 30 seconds of the piece then went back to University. Then, as we all know, the Coronavirus hit. In late March I was sent home for the rest of the semester. I truly do believe that every cloud has a silver lining and so the silver lining in my case was that although the world seemed to be falling apart I was able to complete my mission to learn Nuvuole Bianche. So little by little I learnt. I am a perfectionist at heart so I wouldn't move on till I had mastered the bit I was leaning. I won't lie and say I spent hours every day learning because I didn't. I could have learnt the piece faster and I could have put more time every day but it turns out that the journey to mastering it was just as satisfying as the end result.
To anyone who is thinking of learning this piece - just do it. You will ready many comments saying how easy this piece is whereas if you are anything like me you may think the opposite. Believe that you can do it and go for it. I hope this story can inspire maybe just one person to learn this piece or maybe to pursue something you have been putting off but have dreamt of being able to do. Anyway I have written way to much so I will end by saying
THANK YOU

This is to Gavin Schmidt who commented 7 months ago.
(It wouldn't let me reply in the comment section, so I'm just gonna post it here in case he sees)
I'm sitting here, in tears reading your story. My mother battled cancer for two exhausting years before she finally passed in February 2017, just shortly after her 44th birthday. I was fortunate enough to have been able to say goodbye to her, during her last few moments before she passed. I can't imagine how strange you must have felt losing your parents just like that, at just twelve years old...
I admire you for forgiving the man who hit your parents.
My sincere condolences, respect, admiration and love goes your way Gavin.

لست ابكي لا تروني
هذا داءٌ في عيوني
ليس دمعٌ ليس حزنٌ
ليس جرحٌ اتركوني
كنت أزهو بالجمالِ
عندما كنت قبالي
ليتني أنقل صوتي
لك من تحت الرمالِ
انتظر امسك يداكَ
لا تغادرني وراكَ
أنت حلمي في المنامِ
مالي أصحو لا أراكَ
@Rousseau
Nuvole Bianche... in English "White Clouds", the title fits Ludovico's composition so well, tranquil, calm, effortless, floating. Ludovico receives a lot of negativity from the classical world due to his simplicity, though I think the simplicity of his work is also the beauty of his work. It's not trying too hard to evoke complex emotions or challenge audiences, it's creating a canvas for you to get lost in your own thoughts, and I think everyone needs a little bit of that sometimes. Hope you have an excellent Monday.
@NielsBohr107
Rousseau Ludovico is a wonderful composer, I really enjoy "le onde"
If you're taking request might I recommend something by Jóhann Jóhannson, I'd love to see what you could do with his work, keep up the great work!
@Noujilou
Rousseau Ludovico Einaudi is my favorite piano artist, their song are so beautiful and soothing, like a break for our soul
@anthonymaderas5365
this piece perfectly embodies the vibe for you to get lost in your own thoughts. I was having trouble placing the words to describe the feeling I was getting but that is it.
@letsplayleo
To be honest i felt exactly like the classical world...
Maybe its me, but i think the song is quite boring - modern even (which is almost everytime a bad thing)
@itssharpie8330
Rousseau he’s one of my favourite artists
@MyZooKeeper
I love this song so much, but I can’t listen to it for more than a couple seconds before I start crying. I’m 15 now, but when I was 11 I remember my mother would play this piece and it was always my favorite. Unfortunately, for my 12th birthday my parents were on their way home buying an old record player for my birthday when they were both struck and killed by a drunk driver. Hearing this song gives me a feeling that my parents are sitting by me and my mother is playing this song. It’s amazing how powerful music is the bring back such vivid memories. I love this song so much and it bring me great memories, but also memories of my 12th birthday. The record player by parents got me survived the crash. Besides a crack on the top right and the lid broke off it still works. I haven’t been able to find a vinyl copy of this song, but if anyone can find one please let me know. I want it so my parents in heaven can see how much i appreciate them, their gift, and how much I love them. I pray for them everyday and hope they are listening. I even pray for the man that hit them because I couldn’t imagine how hard it is for him to live with himself after what he did. If I could ever be able to talk to him I would forgive him and I’m sure my parents would look down and support me because my parents always told me “Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future”. I didn’t really expect to write all this in a youtube comment, but I guess there’s my story.
