How To Play (piano): Chopin - Fantasie impromptu

[DeathhsLegacy]

@PhyreFairy I am totally with you on that one. I would want to see this performed live. 

[PhyreFairy]

Even though I started playing the piano at the age of 3-4, and being able to play all these beautiful peices of work I would rather be back in time listening to this song in person. It would be breath taking to be in the same room watching this go on than listening to it over the computer. Don't get me wrong it sounds fine here...but in person =D

[TorixAnn]

@Chordinated ACTUALLY, i've been learning how to play piano using this software for about 2 years now. Once you become accustomed to it, this doesn't look as hard. I have memorized where the keys are on the piano so I can look at this and just play it by looking at the screen :)

[silver5532]

this is like some insane guitar hero!

[Nm0l]

1:05 Love it!

[Chordinated]

you gotta be kidding me, why would someone learn this piece from here? this is really a joke you would even put this up....

[Coolgal101100]

I betcha Aivi Tran could play that...

[portchick98]

It's supposed to be this speed...

[JennInReverse]

My friend can play this, but she does it much slower. & trust me it sounds better slower

[nittocsx]

Where is the tempo?? :S

[letsgobebygone]

could you make it a little bit slower?

[lollipopsalexia]

i think i'm gonna learn the part at 4:27

[Harleyterror]

it must be a bit painful on the hands to play this... (:

[NightOfRose95]

it's my aim that i can play this in four years... xD but i think this will be difficult... i have so small hands -.-

[Squishina]

I think it's slightly out of sync >:

[gc0619]

Over 20 million Chinese students play this Chopin.

[gc0619]

Chopin can speak Chinese

[xdanierox]

Man I need like 40 fingers to be able to play this ;O

[Celestrall]

OMG...

This was my old phone ringtone .-. I thought it was so beautiful, and now I get to this video because I want to learn piano again and I just find out it's by Chopin! Chopin is even more awesome to me now!

I used to listen to my own ringtone frequently because I liked it so much! xD

[PullusPardus]

i can play this!

only thing i'm missing though is tentacle hands.

[misshotlips123ify]

and the left hand :D

[misshotlips123ify]

I can play 0:00-0:04 :D

[FlameOfAnor17]

@misshotlips123ify  Ha! I can play 0:00 - 0:07 !

[urnotsosexy46]

Chopin was secretly asian.

[SmelDiferenToMidget]

How do you fap so well?

[MsLobsterfun]

Bullet hell anyone?

[SourRevenge]

It's truly incredible songs like this that leave me in awe and make me want to compose masterpieces of my own, but at the same time they make me feel hopeless; how is it humanly possible to conceive such intricate harmonies?

[EdwardLaiPY]

name should be> how to play it fast!

[DOSEDcoUK]

fuck all these 9/11 conspiracy theories. it is clear the greatest cover-up of all time, was chopin fooling the world into believing he didn't have an extra 5 pairs of hands.



[AgentStolas]

ClockTower 3 got me hooked on this song :D

[naochiMalmsteen]

hey fellas i wonder what software is this ? please reply me.

[Ashxela]

@naochiMalmsteen i think its called synthesia...i m not actually sure though XD

[tfpp1]

Hahaha!!!!! You even got the 'rubato' just right. This is exactly the way every decent teacher teaches how to play this piece. XD

[jlivvyomg]

right, so this a great video, because its pretty cool, but if you want to learn this piece, watching this video is probably a HORRIBLE way to learn. this has some wrong notes, and it has absolutely no feeling. its way too metronomic. i'm playing this piece, but i actually learned this from sheet music. you can get the music, learn it, and then watch this, but please, dont just use this.

[piano9977]

@jlivvyomg I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU. It's like, where is the feeling?! I doubt Chopin would appreciate this.

[icelandonfire]

I can play 1:02- 1:05

[fullmoon230FFN]

LOL, my friend played this song for the 8th grade benefit concert... Beautifully...

[XxXMidnightSongsXxX]

My piano teacher played this for me one day, and I thought, "I have the GREATEST teacher EVER" ^.^

[analuvsjaej4evar]

I will conquer you! Just wait! >:3 I'm gunna attempt to own this...after Im better at piano XD I have lessons later today...

[ArabelaBG]

si claaaroo..

[yankeesrock1997]

Omg this is like.. impossible. The only Chopin ik how to play is petit chien and op no. 20

[ILOVECLASSICALify]

Piano HERO

[Templado13]

omg! the slow part is wayyy to fast!!! that version sucks so badly!! Rubinstein is sooooooooooooooooo much better!! He's one of the best piano player of all time (no joke)

[Superbloooooo]

Chuck Norris' warm up



[Vesivian]

useless how to play...

[KennethPaigeOfficial]

my fingers broke at 0:46

[EricVelasco13]

whoops I lost my fingers play this!

[SuperJuniorFaith]

O had to watch another video justt see if there's another creature can play this song beside who made it XD

[Dalmonius]

SO FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE... LOL

[volumevid]

BOOM with one finger xDD

[8maxthemax8]

how is this helpful? does somebody really has the time to watch and play??

[1tod1pianox]

This is on sythesia right? Can I have the Midi download link...

[jasonPianist]

this is pretty cool =]

[TheAshKane]

this brought me to fantasy world when i listen to sleep

[Truebluesea]

Is this real life?

[J4f94]

love this tune

[Esenada]

Is this the most complicated piece to play on piano. If it isnt, what in your opinion is?

[oyw123]

@Esenada there are certainly many others like "circus gallop", "hungarian rhapsody 2 (franz liszt)" and "rhapsody in blue (piano solo) (gershwin)"

[melagads]

@Esenada la campanella, moonlight sonata mov 3 and i only say cziffra. everything from him is more difficult, watch his version of bumblebee from yuja wang o_0

[Templado13]

@EsenadaYa! your right is is a pretty hard piece on the piano I am praticing this for my piano exams next year and let me tell you, it is hard to learn but once you get the twist, its the same patern all the piece expet for the middle part that is slow and so pretty. (but its been 10 years that i'm playing piano good luck if you want to make this your first piece on the piano :P )

[nicke1126]

@Esenada

Le preux by Charles Valentin Alkan

Or la ci darem variations by Chopin

[boristhefox1997]

O thanks this helped me so much!!!!!! Thanks.........not

[jeanANDanna]

Do anyone have a link of the music sheet for this song?

[melagads]

@jeanANDanna google can help

[SSvolksgrenadier]

if i had one dollar for every second of this song i played correctly, then i would have one dollar.

[100Wilbur999]

yeh this isn't faster this is the normal tempo.. listen to rubinsteins..

[erikuzzadancer97]

altro che marco carta e vasco rossi

[MrXulander]

this proves chopin was racist

writing music only asian people can play

[jdkrensel]

lol the invisible pianist got lost at the end and couldnt keep up

[kubekbeta5]

It should be 'How you will know you won't be ever able to play Fantaise impromptu'. :)

[leahbaer11]

Right, thanks. I got it now.

[MatthewMonaghan1]

how in any way is this supposed to help?!?!

[polyonyx]

Ohomaygawd...

I wish I'd had something in my body like:

"Capture tutorial"

... "Capturing"

..."Processing"

..."Saved!"

then later on, "EXECUTE."

well, I guess that would never happen, :))

[TheMJJandJDBlover]

oh my god.. :D

[Jazsngr]

This doesn't help me at all!!

[kinlex1]

[MrSmackdab]

[aimee15loveya]

uh let we say.....not 0.o

[SPLEclipse]

Hi, I'm having trouble with this one...can you post it at 500% speed too please? :P

[6fortyam]

How the hell do you synchronise the left and right hand?

Left hand is playing triplets while right hand is playing semi-quavers.. WTF!

[astraltrancer303]

@6fortyam

You gotta "cut the golden butter" homeslice

[6fortyam]

@astraltrancer303

Lolwut?

[BenjaminTheHolyDiver]

im glad that you wrote "piano in the desription.... cuz i thout this were a violin prefomanc..... DUSH!!! but else..... its a damn good recording

[TheBananian]

In the first sixteenth note runs, yes it is an E natural not Eb. it just dawned on me lol

[jwilliams575]

@mssmilexz i know how to play this i started in june its hard be pashunt it gets easy

[CSPlayerDamon]

@jwilliams575 I love the way you spelled patient :P

[Stebanick]

[CrazyBananaification]

:|

[ecuasion100]

too fast, and faster than the original one

[thomastmwc]

lmao

[OcarinaMary]

I feel sorry for the person who tries to play it this fast.

[billspintobean]

Guys. If you've played piano for a while, u CAN learn this if you want to badly enuf.

1. If u do not have the luxury of setting up a laptop on your piano, get a little Casio and place in front of your 'puter.

2. Refer to MapleCubee's vids to get started w/each hand separately for the speedy parts.

3. Use the 50% version of this vid and learn where the notes are. The odd rhythm between hands WILL come together with LOTS of practice!

I worked on this 2-4hrs every day for 7 wks and learned it.

[sinancans]

@billspintobean

can you please post a video

[billspintobean]

@sinancans I'm too shy - and horribly self-critical!

[SweChristmas]

@billspintobean For how long have u been playing? :)

[billspintobean]

@SweChristmas I played from around age 5 or 6 to age 12. Then played in a couple new wave/rock bands as a teen; then nothing for decades...except maybe if I visited someone who had a piano I'd play a few tunes. But picked it back up "seriously" this July - only because I stumbled upon videos like this that allowed me to learn new things. I also found videos of others who played pieces I had started way back then I was now able to finish (Fur Elise, Chopin's Prelude in E Minor, and the like).

[KentKid1412]

i can play the first note and last note easily!!! duh, those 2 notes only in the whole song^^

[sinancans]

this piece or moonlight sonata 3rd movement is harder?

[Fernandohayabusa]

@sinancans Technically this one is harder. But playing 3rd movement of moonlight sonata in the right tempo is really tough too.

[Ernireg3]

can i please have the midi file??? i have one but the one i have doesn't have separate hands, it's all in blue making it more difficult

[cventer73]

@Ernireg3 I would also like to find a good midi file for this.

Also, is the sound in the video coming from you playing or the synthesia midi converter?

The velocity seems much better than I've been able to get synthesia to output.

[MarioValdes3]

ho am I suposed to play this by just watching???? LOL!!!!

[calibur008]

like we can do that fast part in the beginning..

[aynohohohola]

some mistakes

[Kenneth0508]

I'm trying to learn this song, but it's one thing who is driving me nuts.. And that's the unlogic thing between my right hand and my left hand when I play them both together! It doesn't make any sense when the song is played slow! The rythem is so weird..

Well, Time will see!

[professional1993]

thats because the left hand and right are in seperate time signatures, the left is in three over four while the right is in standard four over four.

[TheBananian]

@Kenneth0508 i couldnt have said it better myself

[Vanguarde12]

Once you get to difficult pieces, especially Romantic and onwards, the composer's intents become far too specific for this sort of thing to work. This video teaches the notes, but the score is the only thing that you can use if you want to have anywhere near a good interpretation. I'm completely convinced that you shouldn't be playing a piece like the Fantasie-Impromptu if you can't even read sheet music (a skill that isn't even that difficult to learn). Either way, I appreciate your efforts.

[nicke1126]

@Vanguarde12

I have mainly learned how to play the piano with music software like this, but i have also practiced reading sheet music. So I have learned pieces like this through the computer and easier pieces with sheet music. But when I have been taking private lessons with a pianist, he hav told me there is no need of markings for dynamics and such if you already know how the piece is supposed to sound like..So basically you just need to listen to someone else play it after learning the notes

[Sk8erboi753]

@nicke1126 i do that too. but classical musicians are highly discouraged to listen to other people's performance of a piece, as they would tend to model their interpretation with others' and they will not exert creativity anymore

[BustTheNotes]

@nicke1126 That's true only to an extent. If you have the ear to be able to pick out each individual note, understand each voice, and understand the counterpoint (which will aid the dynamics of each finger and each note), then yes, you don't "need" sheet music. But if you are trying to learn something more difficult musically like Chopin's "raindrop" prelude (no. 15), the sheet music illustrates profoundly the depths of the 3 primarily melodies going on, which in turn makes a better performance.

[prodexit]

@nicke1126 And this is really not the version one should listen to :D

[supercoolhandyo]

@nicke1126 It doesn't matter what the piece sounds like of how other people play it. It's how you think it sound be and should relate to you.

[EmmyRossum4eva]

The notes in the bass in the middle of the first section are mixed up

[jakegr007]

Who like Chopin, what a master, I would give my legs to be able to play like this

[GForce134]

@jakegr007 than you wouldn't be able to play like this, since you need the pedals...

[s055623]

@jakegr007 hey, I would be doing a REAL tutorial video on how to play this song, check out my channel this week and save your legs XD

[da3musceteers]

It's to fast. It's not beautiful as it should be.

[9adde5]

this is a very beautiful song,,, but even more beautiful when it's not played by a computer

[didondio]

this is way to fast for me to play,damn

[ParaPugs]

this is insane!but awesome!~.~

[ArtanisHero]

I don't know why you play the first upwardpart (G# A G# G G# C# E D# C# D# C# C C# E G#) with Eb... There are some other parts that are off too by listening.

Or have I learned it wrong?

[Maggoony]

@ArtanisHero yea i thought this too :s

[lazur159]

@ArtanisHero Although I'm not the uploader of this video, you are correct and this version is slightly off at parts.

[Singlerity]

@ArtanisHero its E, not Eb, I think, becos just look at the sheets? Weird it souds still fine

[SpiritsofSouls]

This version is a little faster than the original is supposed to be

[MultiFailBot]

@SpiritsofSouls

If anything, it's a bit slower.

[Achtelnote]

@SpiritsofSouls this is really a little fast,but what the hell is the original.does there exist a recording from chopin?;)

[lastingpain22]

@Achtelnote

You mean a recording of Chopin? Playing the song himself?

I'm not too sure about that. Chopin did die in the mid 19th century, while the phonograph (first practical sound recording/playing device) came almost 3 decades later.

[Achtelnote]

@lastingpain22 are you kidding me,or are you really so stupid?

[lastingpain22]

@Achtelnote

I'm pretty sure that I am not stupid...

You're the one who asked for a recording from a guy whos been dead for 161 years...

[Achtelnote]

@Achtelnote and i am sure that you are at least so stupid to not understand how my question was meant.my comment was a response to another comment.

[Fernandohayabusa]

@SpiritsofSouls Actually, it's not.

[PARODYS1011]

@SpiritsofSouls just a little :D

[Acrazyvideomakingguy]

@SpiritsofSouls This is the normal tempo

[pikkienvd3]

delay

[princessbobo910]

I love this piece very much! *****

Thank you for making this video!

I really enjoy! :)

[ThePengcipal]

It seems a lot faster than it really is.

[WhySophia]

kick ass. this song is rippin muah balls in half

[zigzom24]

@WhySophia What the hell does that even mean?! The song is so kick ass...That your nut sack split in half?!

[WhySophia]

@zigzom24 lol. i don't even know.. it can be interpreted in several ways

[Odmaz]

@WhySophia Do you hear someone singing? This is not a song dumbass, this is a musical piece...

[BlazeKenny]

@WhySophia i dont see any singers in this "song"
