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'.
I played this song for few years, because I play the piano without any standard educations and I didnt see any scores, just only seeing Synthesis(?) in youtube. So I asked you to play this song... hhh
I live in south korea, so i'm not actually good at English. This comment is not translated... Thank you for reading my poor English. You are one of my favorite youtubers...!

Your English is great! Good job.
Your English is fine honestly

Nice comment and very good english
@@TraumPiano can you learn a piece im composing my composing skills are good i just suck at writing the notes on musescore it makes it messy and hard to read
Rachmaninoff : Today is my birthday.
Traum : Uploads Chopin.
Great video anyway.
it's Traum's April fool
rachmaninoff is for normies anyway, he should play alkan, scriabin, medtner, sabaneyev, feinberg instead (yes i am aware of the irony that i am posting this on a chopin video but ehh)
@@samaritan29 eew, Feinberg is for normies. He should play more Khachaturian
@@beanos5105 No.
@@samaritan29 lmfao he can upload what he wants to. I don't think Rachmaninoff's music is not enjoyable just because he is popular. But I'd like to see those names in this channel and even more, like roslavets, berg, protopopov, krenek, artyomov, messiaen..

The third line, shouldn't it be "Rachmaninoff: Am I a joke to you?" Or am I missing something...

When i saw it, i yelled "WHAT !!" So loud
Lol

Same with me, but I was thinking instead of yelling.

3:27 is what shredded my heart into pieces
Indeed
Sure
It is such a familiar and beautiful contrapuntal place
Yes. Probably my fav ballade. And number 3. And 1. And 2
@@mitchell-bt3tj I feel the same if you mean in order from favorite to least favorite (still number 2's coda is really good and a good piece, still)
Traum’s specialities :
- Doing a vibrato on piano
- answering only by emojis 😎

- Playing Hammerklavier using hammer 🔨
My man Traum is hiding something from us......
Those pinkys...
How can you stretch them so far?!! 😂🤣
Pianist hands lol

No he's actually not human, he's fooling you that he's a human, since it's April fool's day, so be careful.

5:30
The most mysterious moments in Chopin. So evocative of a dreamworld.
😉
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.
ikr
Traum=rapper confirmed!?!?
/s ofc
@@prod7633 Would be very funny if he retired rapping for classical piano.اسهيخخصضًسومسخسوشنسخطخىمسحسه
yoo wtf
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).
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
Thanks for the great comment.
Underrated comment, so true
But do we call it a Copy?
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).
9:12 that moment always reaches straight into my soul. What a beautiful melody
@@Souls_p_ from looking at the score I see it as a 9:6, although I know there's a David Bruce video that explains it as a 9:8
😉
I never click my subscription feed... Glad I did!
Haha same here
I was just thinking about how insane Traum’s repertoire is, and right at that moment... he uploaded this 🤯🤯
Literally the exact same thought occurred to me. The amount of pieces he can play is remarkable.
Just the fact he played Liszt's Sonata in B minor and Ravel's La Valse is breathtaking
@@Dylonely42 or scarbo!
😎
@@TraumPiano my man glasses
The transition back to the opening motif at 6:37 has got to be the most satisfying musical resolution I’ve ever heard
I love how he just randomly upload insane pieces like this
That performance took me to heaven
So, Are Chopin and Liszt fine ? And what for Rachmaninoff's birthday lol ?
@@Dylonely42 why are you getting so angry about this who said traum needs to upload a Rachmaninov piece on his birthday and so on?
@@Dylonely42 yesterday was Bachs birthday too! He didnt upload a Bach piece
@@Dylonely42 i didn't see lizst and paganini there lmao
:)
This is one of the most epic moments in TH-cam.
fr, this piece is so underated
@@mivuz better underrated than overrated, it’s our little secret for now
I'm so happy to hear that!
Wow, that's the hardest ballade from what I know. Amazing and lots of feels here!
Yes, It was not easy 😆Thanks my friend!
WOW! This piece seems a little difficult but you handled it very well! Great job 😉 👏
Hahaha that's funny coming from you
uou say that like youre not fucken amazing
"A little difficult" - literally talks about one of the most difficult Chopin pieces ever.
@@agshurtle6827 no
@@aeroslothy You don't think Ballade no. 4 is one of the most difficult chopin pieces?? What else is more difficult, except maybe the sonatas?
*couldn’t resist clicking when saw 4th Ballade*
Me too
Me too
Me too
😉
Doing all the ballades?
So Impressive too!
You should have a million subscribers
🙏
He should have 10 million
Chopin’s most emotionally captivating and sublime masterpiece. Thank you Traum!
😘
This will become his most viewed video, mark my words.
it should be but its not that well known outside of the classical community so i doubt it
🙏
best part at 9:50 no doubt, that was so beautiful
This video is honest, so much that Traum had to upload it on the first of april, to prove it won't be blank or a Rick Roll
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.
Probably my most favorite piece of all time, wow this is beautiful.
Mine too. It is freacking beautiful and intense at the same time
😘
The F-sharp at 5:02 might just be one of the greatest notes ever written in the history of music. It changes the meaning of the entire piece.
*the most special Chopin piece. So long awaited by all of us*
Congratulations Traum
Yeah
SureeE
I SAW THIS AND I INSTANTLY CLICKED
Me too, even though I was about to get off the toilet I just couldn't let this go and had to watch it immediately 😂
This is probably one of the most gorgeous pieces of music in the world.
And masterfully executed, might I add!
Happy birthday Rachmaninoff 🥳
🥳
9:43 to end: most intense and expresive musical coda ever created
🙏
Agree!
The performance was so perfect that I think he could play it for the next 100 years and it would hardly change.
🙏
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 pure passion in your playing. Absolutely beautiful.
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!
This ballade changed everything about the romantic era until it’s end. This Ballade is the culmination of every era of classical 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!
What a sweet comment! Thanks! GS
After hearing Rousseau play this u are still superior
True, Rousseau's was still beautiful. It's my opinion
Same
I used always listen to Rousseau's because I really liked the way he played Ballade no. 1, but I do think Traum plays this piece better.
@@ChopinFreak rousseau better cuz he the fist guy who start using piano visualizer
@@JSBach-pd4yg it’s not about who started it first. It is about who has the better interpretation
I've been listening to this Ballade non stop for two weeks and you dropped this... Thank you 💐
I knew you where a straordinary pianist, but this performance really confirmed it, this is not the usual syntesia or youtube performance. beautiful dynamics, phrasing i wasnt expecting this masterpice to come out... i never commented but let me praise you as a pianist to pianist. You really made the history of youtube pianist with this performance.
Can I just say that from 11:26-12:04 was one of the best moments of my musical life and also one of the best runs Chopin ever created 🔥
I was shaking
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*
No, sweetie. No!
yeah some time ago i thought like well yeah chopin is just some easy going sad music for studying
oh boy
@@WowFan991 You are proven absolutely wrong I guess lol
I’ve been waiting for you to play this for so long! Thank you, Traum
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.
How tf did Chopin composed this fucking masterpiece?
It's a pretty repetitive and boring piece.
@@chopinisacomposerforonerig2970 your whole account is hating on chopin, hes popular for a reason. you dont have to force others into your stupidity
@@chopinisacomposerforonerig2970 What did Chopin ever do to you bro?💀
@@Lagrimoso 1. He is only popular because his music is the closest thing Classical music has to pop music. His music is mostly for dilettantes starting to get into classical music.
2. Yes, I do. I do need to force it.
@@beckysberries4441 He made me go deaf.
HE DID IT!!! Plz do ballade 3 Traum! You're a fucking legend!🔥
SURE!
@@TraumPiano AYO AYO AYO AYO AYO LETS GOOOOOOOOO!
12 minutes of pure gold. Thank you Traum!
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.
Wonderfully played Traum! 👏👏
This is probably one of Chopin's hardest pieces, as well as the most modern sounding ones
The visuals are also amazing along with the sound
Yeah youare right tho
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 ❤️

Cold, very cold day, perfect for Chopin ... thanks Traum, amazing!
Thanks for sharing my favourite ballade with us! Beautiful interpretation
I've been waiting for Traum to perform this song for so long, this just made my week!
🙏
That intro is so gorgeous 😍😍. This has to be one of the best interpretations out there

Traum is the most active TH-cam pianist of my entire life! Like how do you not run outta pieces man?!! Can someones list of repertoire be this good and have a huge variety?!
I would always support you for all the hard work you do for us to see on TH-cam!!!

Super! My favourite of the 4 ballades.
Legend says this is why he practiced op.25 no.6
Just for the coda😉
😅
It’s good practice 😁
What a absolutely beautiful stunning interpretation of this master piece this really is so good well done traum you've outdone yourself with this one!
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
Finally! After all this time you uploaded my favorite piano piece! Thank you!!!
Traum, you never let us unsatisfied. On the contrary, you overflows ours feelings and make our day better. Thank you so much! This was a stupendous performance, which I will watch again. You always make the best content. I will be here with you forever. Thank you for all the meaning you bring to my life!
I'm so glad to hear that. Thanks!
Exactly how I feel. Traum fans/ sub's are truly blessed.

Love it, absolutely love it, i really like Chopin, and you way of interpreting its soooo gooood!!!! Your channel is criminally underrated but im sure youre gonna get lots of subscribers sooner or later. THANK YOU FOR HELP KEEPING THE REAL MUSIC ALIVE!!! You are amazing!!!

Truly this is the most beautiful Ballade
Thx traum for this incredibleeee performance 😍😍
Thanks my friend!
@@TraumPiano glad to hear my friend 😊
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
I clicked the like button first then watch the video. I knew it will be damn good. And the fact that this is one of my fav Chopin's ballades apart from no.1
great interpretation. love the visualizer you choose. I am so motivated.

The best/hardest ballade change my mind. Love your interpretation!
you are honestly the very best pianist who can build up a very anxious and at the same time an inconspicuous tension. You also master your flawless technique. I think this piece suits you well. I really want to know which concert pianist you are. I would buy all your albums.

I have never really heard this piece played like this before...some much rubato...it was fantastic and I loved it! thanks for posting...
I couldn't believe the fingering for the beginning measures in my edition was correct until I watched you play.
After I watched you play the beginning measures it became easier.
I guess I stopped resisting.
That really says something about the brain and learning a new piece.
Thank you so much for this.
I have now online classes but when I saw you uploaded Chopin ballad I came immediately. Good job .
Θεμιστοκλής, Ωραίο όνομα

I haven't even watched the whole video, but as soon as I saw your notification pop up, I instantly smiled. This might be my favorite ballade, but either way... thank you very much. I already know this will be an amazing performance
One of my favorite pieces!!! So amazing
THANK YOU I was waiting for this piece, I love it
But How can you do that!! That was sublime! Thank you soo much for one of my fav ever 🙏
There is no way you're not a concert pianist btw
Your nickname really represents what I am lmao
Yes I know that feeling!
Nice nickname!
Coda is very well played
Don't you think "very well" is obviously very underrated for trauma interpretation?
That was incredible Traum. I've been waiting for you to play this since you did the first 2 ballades. Definitely going to be replaying this video a lot!
🙏
Even in my dreams I don't play so well, it's just breathtaking, you made me find out this beautiful ballade by this great interpretation thank you
In Poland we says "Jebany" and it's mean a person who did something Impossible or very hard
FINALLY SOMEONE UPLOADS THE 4th BALLADE
The way you play so tenderly yet so passionately... TRAUM DONT MISS‼️🚨
Yes! A blessing from the greatest!
