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?

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.

@@sagittariusa581 I get the fast arpeggios but plenty of pieces are in C sharp minor so I personally don't really feel like that's a notable similarity. Also the tones of the pieces are very different in my opinion. 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. I don't mean to be annoying and just trying to start an argument, I just personally disagree that this resembles the moonlight sonata

@@varienwashere Well I often just watched KZbin tutorials and videos about music theory. That's really great because you can learn the genera you want to at the speed you want to. I often found myself barely learning anything because the lessons didn't progress much. Another benefit to using KZbin is that its completely free and you can find someone who's teaching style you like. If you get really good mabye it's a good idea to do a master class, or just write songs with the knowledge you already have. Thanks for the question, it was very fun to answer. 😁👍

[@hannaosterlund5974]

@@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-
