Tchaikovsky - Waltz of the Flowers (The Nutcracker Suite)

[@Rousseau]

Tchaikovsky. Waltz of the Flowers. A favorite of classical audiences, and every ballet dancer's worst nightmare. It's amazing to think about how many incredibly memorable melodies were written by Tchaikovsky - there are 3 in this piece alone - it's almost like everything that came out of his pen immediately found itself in the hearts of audiences, a truly rare feat. What a way to end the first half of the year, and to end the '2 million' series of videos - safe to say this one is the calm before the storm. I hope you enjoy the video and have a great Tuesday (one day late with this video...) and a great start to July tomorrow ♥

My parents always told me that when they drove me back home from the hospital when I was just a newborn, my dad put this waltz on the car radio. I don’t know if it’s related, but through the years this piece has become one of my favorites. I wish one day I’d be able to fully play it on the piano (working on that); seems like it would also be fitting to play this at my funeral - a homage to the beginning of my life, to my parents, and to the beauty I found in this world. Thank you, Rousseau, for this amazing rendition.

I considered our financial state, and continued to learn by myself despite the incomplete keyboard my parents bought for me as a request (on sale). I go to my friend's house and learn classical music there together. I'm 17 now, and realized I could've come far if i was richer so i can pay for my lessons and if I had a piano. I'm still with my 66key piano rn and I almost always ended up learning songs instead of classical pieces like this. But I don't blame anyone. I'm just jealous.

Before high school I had that 66 keys keyboard, too. I was playing "he is a pirate" with one hand and without chords. Then I lived far from family in high school times, in dormitory. Luckily there was an electronic piano in music room. I guess I spend more time in that room than the study hall in dormitory for 4 years. Now I am playing piano for more than 8 years and I succeed to play chopin op64 no2 for example. I couldnt effort to a private lesson with a teacher but my sister was a lucky one to find a scholarship from a music school. After high school I was very lucky to buy a yamaha clp 320 second hand (with today's currency it was 200 dollar) and I had worked and saved almost all of this money. And this piano was the almost same with the one in high school. (It was clp 330). In these days I generally plays oogway ascends with imagine that astonishing sciene. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called present" this is a little part of my story. I wish you luck for rest of your story.

You know I kind of wish that my family can go to a music store and buy a full-range piano just like that *snaps fingers* . That's why right now I chose to learn pop songs, and wait 'til my parents tell me, "hey, we gonna go buy a full range digital piano now." I hope it's sooner tho but I can still wait. I'd be delighted to. I'm talkative so... pardon for the unnecessary things I've mentioned lol. I wish you good health! May you enjoy the rest of your story. You will be blessed. Ciao

This is so beautiful.. this is truly the biggest masterpiece i have ever heard in my life. And don’t take that lightly.

[@豆リル]

so im in ballet (not that anyone asked) and im still learning (im not the best). we did our first dance show last month to this song and it went perfectly, and while we ran into the wings at the end, i broke down because i didnt think i could do it in front of hundreds of people. i have horrible stage fright, but honestly i focused on my grandma and i got through it. nothing went through my mind within that 5 minutes. and it was graceful. and im so proud of myself and my friends for doing that :3

When I listen to this, I imagine a nice cafe with people in nice fancy dresses and suits, holding menus with golden accents and cursive writing, matching the theme of the cafe. People are having nice chatters with some laughs and some dancing near the front of the room. There are people watching, sipping cups of tea while the smell of warm vanilla lingers about. This is just what I hear when I listen to the piece 😄

It is Springtime again, The flowers blossom On the branches above, Celebrating new life When the wind blows Some of the flowers fall, Drifting down to the pond, And land softly on the water The flowers gently turn, Carried this way and that By the playful current, Edging toward the rapids Unable to escape, the flowers Ride the rapids, tumbling And turning, rising and falling, Splashed with the spray They slide past the rocks And under the overhanging Branches of the trees Growing along the river's banks Here the water is slower, calmer, They can come together again, River otters and birds watch As they float past them Until a little girl, wading in The shallows, reaches down to Pick up flower after flower, and Carries them back to her mother "Look, Mummy, what I found For you in the river," the girl says, And her mother smiles and says, "Thank you. They're very beautiful." "Don't you want them?" the girl asks, And her mother shakes her head And says, "It's like catching a fish -- It's better if you put them back in. That way they can be seen by Everyone who watches the river, Until eventually the flowers reach The waves of the distant ocean." The little girl puts the flowers back In the river; she waves as she watches Them float out of sight, closes her eyes And wishes them safe journey On their way downstream to the sea
