Chopin - Revolutionary Etude

[Mayikazie77]

i know this song is fast,but i didn't know it was THIS fast!

[YosugaNoSora1]

Well, that theme appears in the anime Kore wa Zombie Desu ka as well ^^

[zeropokemaster]

wow ese es el tema de adelheid kof 2003

[arielrati]

I remember that this song appears in a Tom and Jerry chapter at the beginnin when a small snow ball turns into a big snow ball while it's falling off a mountain...Has anyone seen it?

[MrYaridovich]

@arielrati I was brought here from that video just now. O_O

The episode is called: Snowbody Loves Me.

[IAmRoxanne83]

@MrYaridovich I love that episode! It actually contains other works by Chopin: Grande Valse Brillante in E-flat major; and the Fantaisie-Impromptu.

[theninjamandude]

@arielrati I remember that. ^^

[BloodyHoneyBunny]

Adelheid Bernstein

[katsarosfiat]

frederic chopin, for me on of the best piano composers that ever existed, and too much forgotten

[Avankiri]

@katsarosfiat Check out Eternal Sonata, then.

[TheTyphus25]

@katsarosfiat So true

[jen1989z]

@katsarosfiat δεν τον έχει ξεχάσει κανείς, σε διαβεβαιώ. 'Οποιος ασχολείται με μουσική, εννοώ. Υπήρξε μεγάλος συνθέτης, και η μουσική του είναι πάντα επίκαιρη, παρά τα χμμ (2012-1849= ..υπολόγισε!) .. πολλά , χρόνια από το θάνατο του!

[funnyhomeboy1]

I brought me here.

[koyokoreed]

"Catherine! etc etc"

"Eternal Sonata! etc etc"

I'm crying for society. Chopin is freaking Chopin: just because his music as been made in a video game doesn't mean you should fight over ~which game is better~ on his amazing piece of literature. Seriously.

[lefarce]

@koyokoreed Exactly. But just so we're clear, Catherine is the better game.

[KiyaRoraito]

@koyokoreed Ahah, io ho giocato ad Eternal Sonata, non è un brutto gioco, ma io stimo Chopin per la sua infinita bravura, non per il videogioco.

[koyokoreed]

@KiyaRoraito I've played both games, I love both of them equally on different levels. I agree as well, I started to love classical music because of him. I originally came to this video because I was working on a History Fair Project on him!

[GuardianX515]

Thank you ETERNAL SONATA for introducing me to Chopin, which was overall better than Catherine IMO. If you haven't played it you should.

[ccapsell]

[dougster97]

This is music from the Romantic Era for those of you who dont know.

[RedSkyGod999]

screw Catherine Chopin belongs to Eternal sonata Hell Yea!

[agent001213]

I love this song Yay for Eternal Sonata

[FlameScorpian]

@agent001213 lol, thats where I first heard of Chopin, great game, inspiring Pianist

[rafgromadzki]

 warto być Polakiem i być dumnym, z swoich rodaków wielkich kompozytorów

[TheMaliniak86]

@rafgromadzki Nooo !! :D

[hazza149]

@Zarenthar

Hey no kidding! Im in the exact same boat aye. Started piano midway through this year and thought id like to play this. Took me about 5 months so not quite up with you on only 4. But I also think "virtuoso" is a bit of a strong term haha. But its cool to meet another guy who just wanted to dive into the hard stuff.

Btw to all the proper and serious piano players out there, im not saying im better at piano than you cause im not. (I just dont want to come off as arrogant) :)

[wawa23tomek]

Revolutionary Etude , was in Paris after the fall of the November Uprising in Poland, when Chopin was in exile and had to leave their homeland. The most terrible events in Polish history when it was not independent and the whole Polish nation fought the tsarist regime, the sovereignty :(

[Zarenthar]

Ok then take a random dude who never played any instrument, never read any scores and sit him at the piano to play this study see how it goes. I'm sorry but I doubt bringing this piece up to concert level in 4 months as a first piano piece is terribly underachieving considering how my fingers weren't conditioned at all. Initially as soon as I got carried away and "felt" the piece I would tense up and fumble a lot. Only when I emotionally detached myself could I practice it and play it properly.

[trtrddsesese]

@Zarenthar ''I probably am what they call a virtuoso but I have no desire to "interpret" only creation inspires me''

.....

jesus christ.now hereby i swear i will never read youtube comments anymore.

they just really squeeze my brain activity below zero

.....

[Zarenthar]

@trtrddsesese You could've look smart trying to put me down, but then you said jesus christ.That comment would come of as pretentious if I actually felt it was useful in any way to have an intuitive understanding of music but it's just an acknowledgment of a fact for me. It's probably gonna serve no purpose in my life except nourish this love/hate relationship I have with the Piano. Maybe it's my only talent in the world maybe I fail at the most basic things why be envious of that?

[Zarenthar]

I know most of you won't believe me but this is the very first piano piece I ever played with no prior training or knowledge. I probably am what they call a virtuoso but I have no desire to "interpret" only creation inspires me. It was actually a lot harder to read than to play... My GF at the time was already playing the piano and she told me that I really shouldn't be able to play that and I would get tendinitis but I shrug her off and played the damn thing! Took at least 4 months for speed.

[colourfulwithaU]

@Zarenthar

I don't think that you are what they call a 'virtuoso' if it took you four months to play this up to speed. Also, not being able to read is not a 'virtue'. I don't doubt that you can play this piece, but your comment sounds pretentious IMO.

[Cervan]

@Zarenthar does she squeal when you finger bang her with your left hand?

[twooffour]

@Zarenthar

You haven't played any piano before that, at all? Or was it the first "piece" you played after years of improvising and "creating"?

Anyway, lots of musicians aren't terribly hot about playing already written-out stuff - "half" of them you'll get to hear in jazz clubs.

So don't worry :)

[yamihoon]

KOF brought me here (Adelheid Bernstein) =)

[CaptainZork1]

IVe been a concert Pianist for 12 years now, and this one still gives me problems. Not my favorite chopin piece of all time, but Eternal Sonata made it awesome.

[upendomimi]

Words cannot describe the beauty. WOW, just plain old WOW! :D

[PinkedWitchArche]

@carefulkiller You are sucks :)

[Moustachio86]

A masterpiece.

[rain1676]

@Moustachio86 yep I herd this in ddr.

[carefullkiller]

sounds like a child mashing the key's, sure there's a little tune to it I suppose, still sucks though :/

[itsthataznkid34]

@carefullkiller lol I bet putting circle blocks into circle holes and triangle blocks into triangle holes is pretty tough for you too huh?

[Musictoyourbrain]

@carefullkiller buy a piano and try to do the exact same thing. then be ashamed at how you spent money on something you are hopeless at. good bye.

[DarkHero890]

@carefullkiller You just love to humiliate yourself don't you? Next time, if you don't like something, keep it to yourself, because there are those who will disagree and in this case, there are many who disagree......

[rain1676]

@carefullkiller no you suck.

[lelatvaliashvili]

simpley amazing :)

[meanbunny4]

not many realize that Chopin composed that masterpiece the moment he learned that revolution in Poland began. He was disturbed and terrified for his country.He immediately sat at the pianoforte and just began playing. And this is what he created, it makes one feel the anxiety and fear and anger Chopin felt at the time. Genius!

[plaidword]

damn. shittin' myself much? like if thats wot you did.

[Matthijs3476]

Who the fuck is Catherine, no seriously, who the fuck is she? Never heared of her. Same goes for that Eternal thing everybody is talking about.

Oh and can you dickfaces please stop trying to get thumbs up by posting ''who brought you here''? Seriously nobody gives a flying fuck. Thank you

[lovenfriendship1]

@Matthijs3476 its a video game

[Matthijs3476]

@lovenfriendship1 Catherine is a video game? I thought it was a person or something

[atjnAdfhhjea]

@Matthijs3476 Not necessarily true. I find it rather interesting to see how pop culture remembers this piece.

[KidMangaX]

"Fucking piano... I'm gonna play the shit outta you!"

[RadioHeaDedCreep]

My music teacher, is awesome!

[atjnAdfhhjea]

Kamen Rider Kuuga sent me.

[lllllllllllllll88]

This is pretty good...

In fact, it's better than that.

[hefestobr]

Woody Woodpecker brought me here

[nfltank55]

this is sick

[BigBrotherWii]

"It's a fine night for a curse!" - Thomas Mutton

"When I am defeated in this battle a truth will be born in this world. And a fleeting dream will transform slowly filling with color. And only when this ordeal is finally overcome, will my soul at last be allowed to leave my physical body. Then let us test it. Whether I...no. Whether my spirit can become a lance...capable of piercing through every one of you! We'll see if I am truly such a weak human being!" - Chopin

[Linkreincarnation92]

Best. Composer. Ever!!

I loved Chopin before I ever found Catherine or Eternal Sonata, but the use of classical music in these awesome games definitely made them that much better!!

[LotusoftheMoon]

I'm now saddened that I can never hear Chopin himself playing :'(

[sweetpepper36]

Catherine? What's her channel?

[PedritoKie]

SEX!!! Sex theme!!

[juancho661]

JUST SUPERB PIANO AND COMPOSITION.... Its like a fantasia

[JaVaLeNo]

Catherine got me into this music. Hahaha fuck yeah!!

[Gothen146]

Thank both Eternal Sonata AND Catherine for bringing all of us here :D

[ShadowChippy]

Catherine brought me here

[TheUntranslatable]

@ShadowChippy Or 'Tom and Jerry', of course :D

[ShadowChippy]

@TheUntranslatable That too X)

[Noke0]

@ShadowChippy Nope, knew about this song years ago. On a better game. Beatmania.

[John2137]

@ShadowChippy the video game?

try king of fighters lol brought me here

[xlShinnAsakuralx]

Thank you Catherine for getting me into Classical music :D

[AxelOwnz]

@xlShinnAsakuralx

lol thats the same reason i started listening to classical, and even why i decided to pick up Eternal Sonata, just some great stuff. This and Bach's "Little" Fugue are my favorites

[MizuiroBlossom]

Beautiful! Gave me chills!

[fabichchris]

Polish my wife I love you!

[Jlan0151738]

I've never played op 16 no 4 but im pretty sure that it is more difficult. The revolutionary etude is notably one of chopins easier etudes.

[onymac]

How hard is this piece compared to Rachmaninov's Moment Musical No. 4 Op 16???

[Arexion5293]

@onymac What about Franz Liszt?

[FenrirWeapon]

Thanks to Eternal Sonata and Catherine, I know of this piece :D

[Linkforce088]

Dumuzid has appeared.

Its the killer!

Do not die.

[barragorn]

@Linkforce088 Had myself a good we hearty chuckle at that comment.

[ProFideRegeEtLege]

8 opressive Russians dislike this:D Free Poland for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperMustacheman]

Jesus called. He wants his hands back.

[Bigwill0208]

This song was composed with emotion. Here, it is not played with emotion. Pitty.

[kathm77]

@Bigwill0208 

[kathm77]

@Bigwill0208 Jackwagon.

[GingiYume]

It's amazing... Simply beautiful... Love the dynamics that were added, by the way! WAH! It's great! (so jealous...)

[gweanplen]

Why so fast?!

[OnlyOnWensdays]

WHO FREAKIN PISSED CHOPIN OFF!?!?!

[diocletian2]

@OnlyOnWensdays Russians

[VincentValentine1313]

@OnlyOnWensdays That would be the Russians. Invented matryoshka dolls and ruled over Poland for many years. Chopin left the country during the Polish Revolution and when the Revolution failed, it meant he could never go back home to his beloved motherland again. Thus, the anger.

[HolyAvgr]

5 Dislikes!? SERIOUSLY?! SERIOUSLY?! FUCK YOU, PEOPLE OF THE INTERNET! FUCK. YOU!

[Matthijs3476]

@HolyAvgr You seriously care about that?

[TheLeizerG]

@HolyAvgr relax

Choping doesn't need 'likes' from anyone ...

[Calenthedestroyer]

@HolyAvgr It is up to 20 now :(

[HolyAvgr]

@Calenthedestroyer For every deaf fag who dislikes this, we are on glorious duty of giving it thumbs up tenfold.

[Calenthedestroyer]

@HolyAvgr HOLD THE LINE!!!! -click click click click-

[ShadeSigma]

I think Chopin was around in that Romanticism era. A lot of war broke out then and even artists started painting differently back then. Like Fransisco Goya did with his paintings during Napoleon's reign. This piece would probably be the most common that people know, even though it's not common at all.

[BillyBobJoe3002]

@ShadeSigma Yes, Chopin was around during the the Romantic Era, though I do believe he was in Paris for a good amount of time (Correct me if I'm wrong please, I'd like to know the facts and not what people say :3). But yes, this piece is very common to most people though at the same time not common at all

[ShadeSigma]

@BillyBobJoe3002 Yes think he was in Paris for a while. Actually I dont think he was able to go back home at all.

[VincentValentine1313]

@BillyBobJoe3002 He was in Paris a great deal of the time. He moved there to avoid the Revolution, but knew that if he did, he'd never be able to go home again--that is why, people speculate, this piece was written. His frustration with Russia, the failure of the Revolution and his own inability to go back to the place he loved most.

[Moses5592]

1:24 is that right? great by the way :-) i will never be able to play this...

[FranzLisztian]

Even though this is a great piece, the performer is doing some shabby chords at times...

[korruptedchaos10]

im learning bout the Romanticism Era in my music literature class...im really interested into Chopin than Schubert...both great musicians and composer and Chopin was jus way more creative in my eyes

[MichelleSerenaXo]

I want to play this! my friend can play it really well...I'm so jealous of him! lol

[emirhasa]

@MichelleSerenaXo I hate jealous people... mind your own life suckers and don't hate someone because he has a better one than you.

[MichelleSerenaXo]

@emirhasa umm .......I never said I hated him...just said I was jealous but in a GOOD way, as in impressed by his talent...okay?

[emirhasa]

@MichelleSerenaXo oh well thats good then, sorry, but other people that are jealous in that bad way u know they want u to fail and all they're all little pitiful retards.

[MichelleSerenaXo]

@emirhasa yeah that's true, I know someone like that

[creativeflowsuite]

erg i love this man. i was surprised he wrote fast pieces too. o.0 i thought his main thing was slow poignant music.

[DKat263]

lol its the piece shreiko plays in Scooby Doo Meets the Boo Brothers :)

[katsarosfiat]

the best piece ever in classical music....along with toccata and fugue and vivaldi's winter (my opinion)

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

i feel like this would make great music for a fight scene on a train.

[DrowningIsolation]

My bud Liam is playing this for a concert on Friday, wish him luck! :3

[ZoomZip]

why did he write this song? What does this convey?

[annakolodziejczyk]

@ZoomZip

"The étude appeared around the same time as the November Uprising in 1831. Chopin was unable to have a strong participating role because of his poor health, and allegedly he poured his emotions on the matter into many pieces that he composed at that time—the Revolutionary Étude standing out as the most notable example."

[detnyericket]

This is devastatingly beautiful!

[duiduisg]

i cant imagine chopin's face when he plays this,

[marisasw]

a 14 year old with small hands is capable of playing this right?

[Mammish69]

@marisasw Yup! im 15 and can reach only a little over an octave, and i can play it.. so you your fine.

[lanachico]

chopins music is usually so much kinder

to me this sounds more like beethoven...not even

i love this piece!

[kidnflorida]

I can't imagine Chopin playing this himself.... the emotion he would put into it is just mind boggling

[Drarkhan]

@kidnflorida

I have the feeling he could only play this on a completly expressionless face.

[kidnflorida]

But imagine the emotion he'd put into while having a completely expressionless face O.o

[Drarkhan]

@kidnflorida

Totally. His face would be expresionless, but i bet could be able to feel the emotions on their own.

[forestdweller68]

@kidnflorida Oh to have seen him play this or any other etude! If others can play this well, imagine what he, its creator would have been like...

[PredatorTomW]

@kidnflorida I think, perhaps a lot of people wouldn't even like "his interpretation" ;)

[raven17bb03]

it's just amazing... the performance and the piece itself...

[conurebleu]

Sad that we will never hear chopin play his own piece.

Thanks to Eternal Sonata I've discovered this magnificient piece!

[diogo1eli]

@conurebleu there is no record for sure??

[wiredeweirde]

@diogo1eli ...He died in 1849.

[Trickster242]

@conurebleu There is also another version of it on the upcoming Catherine, which should be on stores July 26th (:

[JoonStudios]

@Trickster242 It's not as good as the Eternal SOnata one though. Z:P It's still pretty good.

[levinstraus]

@conurebleu damn Thanks to Tom & Jerry i fell in love with this :D

[ZeldaLink239173]

@conurebleu

And that's why we all need to thank whoever for the fact that he wrote this masterpiece down. And I found about it from ES too! <3

[jps4141]

It's sad that after the failed revolution attempt of his homeland, he never set foot on his homeland again... I wonder why? Still nice peice.

[jackcnack]

he felt ashamed for feeling safe in a foregin contry, so he promised himself to never return, pretty sad story with chopin

[lilcutehun97]

ALAN SCHILLER IS AMAZING!!!!!

[earthatic]

The pianist is Alan Schiller again I think. I'll put it in the infomation box.

[BPanther]

Chopin ist wunderbar !
