There are almost 100 Rousseau videos since the beginning of the channel and only ONE of them is Mozart! It's time to change that! Starting with something almost every pianist has played at least once in their life, the 1st Mvt of his 16th Piano Sonata. Mozart himself wrote and considered the entire sonata "for beginners", and it often serves as as a way for pianists who are just starting out to learn a piece of a longer length. It holds a dear place in many pianists hearts as one of the most recognizable pieces from their youth. Hope your Monday is great ♥

If Mozart calls this piece "for beginners", then I have the skills of a fetus.

This is what Mozart expects from beginner pianists. *gee thanks Mozart*

I am officially a *beginner* now that I’ve completed the piece.

This song reminds me of my childhood. My mom was a piano teacher and I always went to work with her. One of the kids always practiced this. Love the song

*Oh you have played my piece*

I think when Mozart called it "a piece for beginners" he was basing it on himself. Remember, we are talking about a musician that learned the piano when he was very little, and he composed his first song when he was 5! I am a teen pianist that is starting Level 8 RCM piano, and I am just starting to learn this song. Thanks for this video!

0:37 I can never stop my smile here, no matter how hard I try... it’s just so beautiful

Man beginners back then must have skills by instinct

*Mozart:* This piece is for beginners *Me:* If this is for beginners then I'm a maggot

Beautiful! How grateful I am that you have played my piece!

I learned this when I was about 7 or 8 years old🥹I am 22 years old now and still don’t know how to read sheet music. I learned it by ear and just double checking with people that know how to read sheet music to triple check that I played it right. But I play piano solely by ear 👂🏽🎹🥹 There’s so much nostalgia and memories associated with this song. It is such a beautiful melody and to this day is still one of my favorite tunes. I still play it to this day, along with many more tunes other songs. I love all types of music and instrumentals like interstellar, Narnia, lion king’s this land, Balto soundtracks, or any Hanz Zimmer music honestly. I love it all🥹piano, music, melody, harmony, symphony is my outlet and soothes my soul, playing piano will remain in me forever 🥹🎹I love music. Even though I will probably never learn how to read notes or sheet music, I will always play piano and sing in harmony. Thankful to and grateful that God gave me such gift like this😭🥹🤍

As a beginner I suggest beginners to begin with pieces Mozart composed before he was 12 before coming to this

Imagine if Mozart Created "Simply Piano"

When i was a kid my teacher taught me to play this.. but I couldn't make it perfectly. My teacher always told me that I'm a dissapointing child, and don't have a talent. So This is why I didn't like playing piano. But now listening to this music. It was good and perfect..

Classical music is underrated

If Mozart had a rapper name it would be Lil' Trillz

Mozart: This is for beginners! Me, playing this on my third year of piano: *bro*

I WISH THAT WHEN I DIE, HEAVEN IS AS GLORIOUS AS THIS MUSIC. I PRAY AND HOPE TO MEET ALL THE GREAT COMPOSERS ONE DAY. GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIMELESS MUSIC.

Truly one of the greatest pieces of all time.

*_g r a n d m a ‘ s r i n g t o n e i n t e n s i f i e s_*

First piece i ever learned. This piece was actually the reason I learned the piano in the first place. I heard someone playing it on a piano at a Costco and needed to learn.

Such a banger of a music. Thank you Mozart

Oh what a coincidence i practiced this piece today to bring up nostalgia and i see Rousseau play this -and figured out that i sucked 😩-

Mozart : Imma make a piano piece for beginners Beginners : Oh boy I can't wai- *mozart comes up with this* Mozart : Parry this you damned casual

I WAS TRYING TO FIND THIS ALL DAY AND I FOUND IT. IT SOUNDS AMAZING

This is my favorite piece to play on the piano! So much fun, and so lovely.

You are talented, my friend.

“I hope you’ve been practicing your scales.....” 😅

This is literally my favorite piano sonata of all time. It's what got me into playing piano and ultimately into making music. I first heard it in the movie "Groundhog Day," where Phil Conners hears this wonderful music at a coffee shop. Like him, It inspired me to start learning how to play and it's amazing where this one piano sonata lead me in life. Life sure is funny that way. If something inspires you to have a dream, work towards it. Life is too short to do anything otherwise.

It's like magic flying from your fingers.

So there definitely needs to be more Mozart here - what pieces of his do you want to see?

Can you do Beethoven sonata Pathétique next please? It's one of my favorite Beethoven works!

I remember many years ago-In High School-When I’d get sad I’d go in the living room close the door & play THIS song as LOUD & FAST as I could over & over…I miss not having my piano…

Mozart: never-ending surprises, I hope i can hear him forever, even the the soft notes catch me off guard, the Genius of Music

*When you play Liszt Etudes and never played this piece*

Mozart always has such energy in his music compares to other composers imo

The fact that there aren't any mistakes is amazing.

2:48 always those parts When you have the two parts the mid and high working together in ANY song it always sounds great

So far one of the best interpretations I've heard... For some reason many pianists tend to play this at a very high speed, and I get that it's an "allegro", but a musician when performing a piece should be aware of when it was composed, and at the time when Mozart came around, the allegro was interpreted a little slower compared to now. I appreciate you got that pretty accurate.

Play Heroic Polonaise next please, or grande valse briliante :D

I'm a self-taught pianist and still learning this piece. I'm so glad that i'm able to play this piece of mozart :)

Imagine being a piano playing solo with this classical song in front of a lots of folks with seats 🎹

me: yay finally a piece that i can play too *watches video* me: hmmm, i don't remember my piano sounding like that.

This is the cutest sonata I’ve ever heard!

Mozart: This piece is for beginners Me just learning this song on my 8th year of piano

What mum Wants to hear After My piano Class ....

I think a lot of poeple want the following pieces for the future (incl. me): -Chopin, Heroic Polonaise op.53 and -Beethoven, Sonata 8 "Pathétique" op.13 (all mov.) -Beethoven, "Tempest"-Sonata -Chopin op. 25 no. 5 It would be really nice if you'd play those, thanks

Rousseau: So there definitely needs to be more Mozart here - what pieces of his do you want to see? Community: Beethoven, Debussy, and Brahms, please Also community: Even more Chopin and Liszt.

Me: *huff* you can do this, it’s not as hard as it looks Rousseau: *plays beautifully* Me: *gets first note wrong* Also me: 😶

Absolutely mesmerizing. Uk the beauty of it touches one's soul. The sonata screams joy.

YES.

If Mozart was alive he would be impressed cause you played his pieces

this piece brings back so many memories. It was my first piece that i learned, and what a trip it was. Thank you for this beautiful rendition!

0:05 skip the intro

How old were you when you first played this piece?

Me: okay, it’s fine just focus. Finish learning ONE piano song instead of starting and finding a new song, you can do this, you can- *Rousseau has uploaded a new video*

u actually played all pieces i want to learn.. ur soo good pianist

True musical genius... my favourite composer.

This literally brings tears of joy and happiness when I listen to this piece.

i showed this to my piano. he then jumped off the window

Forever Mozart!!!! Never forgotten! ❤❤❤

I suffered from infertility tried for so many years to get pregnant. I always prayed to god to please bless me with a child. I was watching a mother play with her son on tik tok one day I cried and screamed to God "God please give me a child!!!!!" that same day something in me told me to take a pregnancy test... it came back positive! I couldnt believe it I was in tears and in shock!I took more pregnancy tests and they all came back positive! A week after I found out I was pregnant I found a cross necklace a few steps away from where I worked at and I then knew it was really God all along and never left my side. I now have a 11 month healthy beautiful baby boy. He's turning 1 in a few days! ❤ God is good!

"Beginner piece" my ass. This is a solid late-intermediate piece if I'm not mistaken.

Play Beethoven's The Tempest (sonata 17) or Pathetique pleasee

Absolutely beautiful!

Absolute musical genius to create that

This makes me wanna practice a little harder on piano... 😭

The music is so relaxing and kinda made me think of my childhood music😂

Mozarts expectations are high

Beautiful. Like a story. 5 min. lasted like 5 hours!

0:27 this is my favorite part

This piece is not for beginners. What happen is that the introduction stared playing with both hands in the key of Sol and it makes the notes sharp as if it was a child musical box. Mozart was indeed, a prodigious musician. He captivate people with his music. Starting the piano sonata #16 in such a way atracct anyone's attention. And that was his goal. Mozart a great composer!!

Mozart is killing me. Mercy!

Qu’est-ce que c’est beau. Ça touche l’âme. Merci Mozart

I have heard many people but they have not made it sound as great as you did. I have been waiting for you to play this. Thank you

The visualiser is lovely, and you play beautifully. The lively spirit of Mozart speaks through every note.

this is so well performed. wow!!!!

I've loved playing this piece ever since I learned it as a child and played it in church at a concert. I think I only played the first movement then, but now I enjoy all three. Beautiful music, thank you!

*gasp* this is the ONE THAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YEARSSSS OMGGGGGG

this is the first song I actually learned at piano lessons, it's great, and it opened me up to a ton more classical pieces. (Just a quick btw this wasn't the first first song I've learned and I had a whole quarter year of skill before playing this.

So simple yet so elegant

I woke up this morning with this tune in my head and I could not find the name of it. Thank you so much Rousseau for covering this song and having such a well organized channel!!!!

This was the first classical song I ever learned. Thank you Rousseau ❤️

Lovely melody!

Rousseau who is the best pianist. He plays difficult song easily and he is better than other pianists in the world for me.

Great job again Rousseau. Hungarian dance no 5 from Brahms on piano next ??

This song doesn’t end

Love it had a lot of Classical CD’s in about 1990 & this was one

Nodame Cantabile taught me how to appreciate classical music. This is my favorite.. it's such a happy piece.

Just simply beautiful

Love this peice , Mozart's musics are always fantastic🎵🎶

I searched 'the song with alberti bass' and it gave me this. Glad I know the name now!

I love this piece so much!❤❤❤❤❤

I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day and now it just popped up in my recommendations

2:19 got me. Single tear, dunno how.
