Do you remember me,Traum? I asked you to play ballade no.4 in last year... You accepted my requirements, and you said that it would be played after a month... Unfortunately, after a month passed, nothing happened. So I thought you might forget it. However, I'm not actually frustrated about it, because I thought that you are busy for playing other songs which can make you forget about it! ( I also forget lots of things...hhh ) But today, you played the Chopin Ballade no.4! Whether you forget me or not, it's not that crucial point. Only the fact that you played this song is 'Meaningful'.

That moment is breathtaking 9:12 Chopin mixed elements from Ballade No. 2 there But I just realized that in this Ballade, Chopin also added parts from Ocean Etude, melodies similar to Fantaisie impromptu. I also recognize the left hand pattern from Nocturne No. 2 Near the ending of the piece, there is also a reference from "Double Thirds Etude" There probably are more things I'm unaware about
That A Composer copies his own pieces is Not New, saint saens did that too. I think Danse macabre is very similiar too Fossils from the Carneval of the animals
there are thirds, there are arpeggios, there are chromatic scales, etc. Chopin didn't actively copy any of his other compositions for this, or at least not the ones you said so. Chopin his compositions are just very recognizable (with recognizable I mean the fact that you can always tell when something is written by Chopin), that's why we think he used his own compositions as an inspiration (depending on what piece it is).
Completely unrelated to this performance but I find it so funny how Traums itunes consists of complete sets of Etudes and explicit rap singles from a decade ago.
I honestly really doubt they are the same person. Spotify used to have them connected, but then traum purposely changed his name and now Spotify has two different artists: traum the rapper, and traum piano (the pianist).
This is my meme profile but I’m a piano teacher and my principal plays this piece. It reminds me of the time I got hired at the music school. I have so many obstacles and challenges in my career because I deal with different kinds of students, some are easy, some are very hard to teach. And this melody just reminds me of the time I got hired and how this melody means hope. It gives me a reminder to never give up and keep doing what I love, which is to teach music.
Well..I tend to take youtube and it's 'artists' with a pinch of salt but this has changed that for me - what a performance. I 've played and known this piece all my life and this rendition is right up there imo. Real timing, poise, allowing the music to partake of it's mazurka folk breath, the passion when it arrives is a cascade of electrifying playing. the holding back on the rhythms to hold us in Chopin's emotional 'grip' is scintillating, all driven by a faultless technical ability. Really young man, an achievement you have to be immensely proud of. Well done!
I can say it was definitely worth the wait to hear you play the 4th ballade. I can tell your interpretation was a long time in the making, and you invested much time into what came out to be a very heartfelt performance. I've spent quite a few months with the ballade as of now and I'm still figuring out my interpretation.
The way you pulled your arm back so quickly at the end, 11:48. Ik this is a small feature and I maybe over looking it but the amount of anger that it posseses; I love it.
I always feel like this ballade is a summative of the op 25 set for some reason. There's that dancy 6th parts, the thirds in the coda. The ocean-like pattern in the coda, and obviously a ton of musicality so you can take in op 25 number 7 as well.
As a wise man once said: _woah_ You've played all the Ballades (except the 3rd) at this point! Someone argues that the 1st is the best, someone else says that the 4th is better but, personally, I love all the Ballades and I just can't pick one favorite: even the less popular has astonishing moments (think of the 2nd's Coda) By the way, here's a little anecdote: I remember when I had just started exploring Chopin's music; I randomly stepped on this Ballade (at the time I knew only the 1st) and my first thought was _woah this is actually pretty easy, I could play it!_ *Lmao*
Whenever I am having a hard time I always turn to this piece to reflect my emotions. This is why it holds such a significance in my life, guiding me through all the tough challenges I have faced. And now you playing this piece, especially at this time, brings me a lot of memories and emotion and your performance of this masterpiece makes me all the most touched. Thank for this Traum ❤️

You really made the history of youtube pianist with this performance.
Talking about the coda specifcally - i've listened to a lot of takes and i gotta say, i like yours by far the best. Im aware that your talking a more free, maybe not 100% text bound attempt (im not exactly familiär with the text, but from comparison with most others), maybe exaggarting the pedal bit but thats just what it takes sometime. And im not even gonna štart about voicing, dynaics etc, its unique yet extremely attracting. Thats why i like your coda here (and btw, prbly even B1 too) better even than Zimermans, im serious about that. Youve just somehow mastered this aggressive style thats necessary for these codas, in my eyes. Bravo
You are a god damn legend, Traum. Both as your channel, anonymously, and as whomever you may be in real life. You're truly an inspiration. And thank you for playing the Ballades, they are exquisite!
It's really captivating for you to play such a beautiful piece and be able to watch your hands seemingly effortlessly float up and down the keyboard. Intriguing hands indeed 🌺 Sharon
I can never get over just how inspiring and emotional I feel every time I hear this and Ballade No. 1. Easily part of my top 10 favorite pieces, with Nocturne in E Minor, Op. 72 being at the top.

This piece reveals a universe of musical expression in just over ten minutes. For me, the most beautiful pieces in the piano repertoire. After closing your eyes, this Ballade will take you on a journey to a paradise with birds, sparkling water, the scent of the flowers and your thoughts on your loved one.

HE DROPPED ALL THE BALLADES. THIS MAN’S REPERTOIRE IS INSANE! MARVELOUS PERFOMANCE! He is missing the one I’m learning, the 3rd ballade, I’m sure he will drop it in some hours as well...
I don't understand how no one is talking about 11:27. The buildup at that moment slowly rising and becoming louder, the 4 chords the left hand plays as the right hand is uncontrollably flowing beautifully at 11:34 and then the roaring chord reaching climax at 11:37 that echoes throughout the descending notes is just beautiful. That whole part is something else, I have other parts in this piece as one of my favorite moments too but I just had to point out this part since no one did.
I certainly have to comment on this-the fourth Ballade I am a stickler about, the nuance and tone have to be perfect-I have really only one pianist has ever done that to my satisfaction-but I heard here a beautifully nuanced version, and virtuosity-Hat's off to you sir!

great interpretation. love the visualizer you choose. I am so motivated.
I don't understand how no one is talking about 11:27. The buildup at that moment slowly rising and becoming louder, the 4 chords the left hand plays as the right hand is uncontrollably flowing beautifully at 11:34 and then the roaring chord reaching climax at 11:37 that echoes throughout the descending notes is just beautiful. That whole part is something else, I have other parts in this piece as one of my favorite moments too but I just had to point out this part since no one did.
I certainly have to comment on this-the fourth Ballade I am a stickler about, the nuance and tone have to be perfect-I have really only one pianist has ever done that to my satisfaction-but I heard here a beautifully nuanced version, and virtuosity-Hat's off to you sir!
