This piece is so difficult it took Traum more than 3 hours to learn
More!! 😆
You know Traum’s a god when you joke about him normally *speedrunning* songs and that he can learn this piece in 3 hours. There must be a word alot greater than Virtuoso, Traum inspires me to become great.
u know he uses 40 hours to be able to play so freakin good
@@linzzz404 Don't forget to mention that it's 40 hours a day!
It is also 12 minutes
This guy absolutely have the most virtuous repeirtoire in the world. This guy HAVE TO be some famous pianist.
They look like Trifonov hands. Except Trifonov uses less pedal.
I wonder who he is
@LeMarindesvidéos if everyone played liszt sonata decently I would believe you
Natanael Cairó this guy is way above Rousseau’s and Kassia’s level. They’re both like Kings and Queens, whereas this guy is a God.
If he is a famed pianist (And by famed I mean mainstream like Trifonov, Kissin, etc) his handshape and technique is similar to that of Jan Lisiecki. So that's my guess.
This guy's probably has the best piano répertoire of all TH-cam.
I love how at the end he was like “YEAH!!!! I finally got it!!!!!”
😅
@Traum That ending 😂
Imagine, you perform that piece until the end. But it isn't recorded LOL
Underrated comment
@@linafei357 thanks for ur appreciation tho :D
First time in a while I’ve been truly stunned by the virtuosity of a pianist. Utterly mind-bending that humans are capable of writing and performing music like this.
I love your comment.
@@TraumPiano what but you didn't even "like" the comment.
@@Jabafish It probably lost the like because it's edited
Ravel was what writing music was judged by. He was absolutely extraordinary. His knowledge of music was profound.
My hand hurts by just watching this. "Pro" isn't enough to define this monster. He must be a true virtuoso.
My hand hurts as well 😭
PROdigy
Starting : medium speed
6:50 : glissando
9:05~9:16 : double thirds trillis
10:18 : ??? and glissando
10:25 : glissando
10:28 : glissando
11:26 : octave reapeted
11:33 : veeeeeery hard
11:41 : trillis
Ending : powerful
Thank you!
It's very hard
This is something only a pianist would say, but those glissandos sound filthy and attractive
@@CalamityInAction I'd say difficulty in glissando is of u have small hands and tmyou have to do double gliss. Or the piano/player is not in good condition.. also the speed of the gliss has to be accurate and not too fast or too slow. It must sound smooth. It's hard to do a very soft and smooth gliss, like in ondine
Thank you
10:18 is tone cluster and glissando
They called him crazy, they called him a madman... and boy were they right

Christian de Nicolais what is him
@@christiandenicolais Ravel?
I like this piece a lot, i think most of people can't understand it. They could get a little crazy listening to it, cause some people feel really down with some songs like the Rachmaminoff Elegie. For me it's beautifull and makes me wanna live more. Different people have different reactions.
I call it Jazz because some of the wrong Note

Check the score of the Alberto Ginastera Concerto n1
I got brain damage from trying to sight read it
Ravel is truly one of the most genius composers of all time, the fact that he could even imagine a piece to be played with as many notes, runs, and techniques is incredible. It’s hard to get my head around the idea that he most likely thought of this piece in his head and transferred it to piano and paper. Incredible
The joy of his hands at the very end says it all of what he just did.
I-N-S-A-N-E performance
More really insane stuff! This thing must have been hell to learn
You are right 😂

Yes it is
Bruh the end with the hands, I’m laughing
😂
I thought Rachmaninoff and Liszt had the most difficult repertoire when it comes to piano, but this piece is incredibly demanding :O.
It was hard. Yes. ;)
Ravel is far more challenging on an interpretation level
@I STILL HATE MINIONS SO MUCH how so?
If you look at a 'good' list of difficult piano pieces you'll see that there's very few liszt or rach pieces in there.
@@nikolaimedtner7248 true
Ravels pieces are truly something special, when I first heard one of them I didn't like his style that much but I came to really appreciate it!
Outstanding job with mastering this insane piece! Your playing is just as insane, you really never fail to amaze me!!!
@@polka678 I agree. But I think you can still be able to like it. I just didnt figure it out yet. I alsl didnt like the ondine because it changes so often there is little repetition etc. but now I like it.
Thanks Andy
I really agree with you. When I first heard Gaspard de la nuit or la valse I thought 'whats that?' But now they're my favourite pieces
@@polka678 It sounds like chaos, and I love it.
@@stacia6678 its now my favourite piece lmao, I love ravel, scriabin late sonatas and such - all amazing to my ears.
Really impressive as always. Never heard this piece before, but it gave a great impression. Keep on making videos, I really appreciate the music you play.
Yep!!!
You should check out the orchestral version too!
@@vincentd.1424 is really wonderful
I cannot believe the fact that you have only 4.5k subs. This channel deserves millions.

He had like only 500 subscribers 2 weeks ago, so I am pretty sure he will reach in the next 2 years one million subscribers
@@Milo-fh8zl he has to do it faster than Rousseau you know right?
I cannot believe he isn’t at 3 million, I swore he was!
Yours is *MY* introduction to the piano version of "La Valse." Couldn't have had a better one! Much thanks!!!
Good to know there’s a piece out there I’ll never be able to play...
Honestly, I don’t care too much for the melodies in this piece, but it is one of the hardest looking pieces of music I’ve seen in a while and it was unbelievably well performed. Great job.
Welcome to music with Franz Liszt played by Traum
Ravel pieces are more difficult than liszt for me
RAINCOAT I think it's cuz ravel wasn't a virtuoso, so he tended to write un idiomatic music at times. Compare it to Chopin or Debussy, where their hardest works are hard af but still sit well under the fingers
@@josephalvarez5315 very true ravel could not understand pianistic solutions but he was undoubtedly a god at composing for it. just not as well as his contemporaries regarding in technique
Alternative title: traum calling me talentless for 12 minutes straight
I was expecting you to take a break after the past week of uploading, but little did I know you are playing Ravel, and by no means is it easy. Very impressed with your craft and the videos you create. Really well done Traum :)
Thanks Carter
3:50 oh this sounds very ni-
3:53 *BAM* BADADAN BADADAM DAM

This transcription isn't played frequently on piano, 'cause it's a real nightmare for pianists, at least the solo ones. The fact that you actually uploaded a full performance, a very skilful one, of the waltz, is just too impressive. You're a legend! 👍
What transcription is this
Can u put a link as well if you can
@@imincent1767 It's Ravel's own transcription. You can go shopping for the sheet music or find it online.
@@SamarthSachinJadhav K thx
Guys, judging my the speed of his hands, his hand size, his immense repertoire, and his upload speed, I have figured out who this is.
He's LingLing
Hahaha that suspense was worth it
😆
15 notes a second and practice 40 hours a day
you mean Lang Lang.
@@phase...8849 You aren't familiar with the meme. Summary: Ling Ling is a the most virtuosic (probably fictional) musician who practices 40 hours a day and can play all instruments at the same time upside down and backwards at 15 notes/sec. Go watch TwoSetViolin and you'll understand.
I just love the little celebration at the end, what an amazing performance!
Thank you for being abstract, and doing what nobody else does, playing less known songs
i was wondering when your next upload would be. It was worth the wait:)
This is such a breathtaking piece! It’s also a great reduction of the orchestral setting, you’ve really continued the energy and the atmosphere of the original!
Is there some sort of supernatural effect from performing in a cold room!? Truly amazing Traum!
Can it be that you are the same person as Traum? both anonymous both virtuos and both german names
Well...🤣
Ein volk, ein Reich, ein kommentarbereich 😅
Ravel's music always seems to amaze me, it can turn beautiful into weird and macabre very fast, he seemed to me to have a mind of an inventor that had it's romantic roots well settled.Wonderful video.
@@lunilla yes i love you too
Props to anyone who can master this piece! One of the greatest piano works for me, love how the whole piece just builds up to that final melody, Ravel was the master of the crescendo!
Plot twist, he’s Franz listz 😳
Only one way to prove it: he has to play "El Contrabandista" next :)))
Reincarnation of Listz.
(That kinda rhymes)
No I am
@@ladymacbethofmtsensk or gallop in a minor
This channel provides amazing pieces I never even knew about. Glad this guy is an every day uploader and not every 2 weeks
Thank you The Pianist
I am so happy I am subscribed when he had only 2k, because probably in a view months he reaches millions!!
🙏
This song is so crazy and I love it
10:18
I´m really thankful to have the opportunity to listen to amazing pianists on this platform. I love that you are uploading pieces that are "less" known in the internet, I´ve heard a lot of pieces that I didn´t knew before watching you content. Amazing job!
Holy moley, this is great! The amount of quality top notch virtuoso pieces this guy is kicking out is unbelievable! The excitement & adrenaline in this performance (love this piece!) is outstanding
believe or not , you make me drop a tear , such emotions you put on your videos , not just tecnique , incredible!, thanks , you are amazing Traum
The orchestral version is also insanely difficult... but sooo much fun! there is so much rubato that putting this piece together with an ensemble makes it so much trickier but is also so beautiful. this piano performance of the waltz is so amazing. i really love all of these performances. keep providing us your wonderful music.
Finally someone did this. One of my favourite ravel pieces
I can’t tell if this piece is major or minor. Ravel is so brilliant in how he changes keys and feeling so quickly in his pieces. At times it feels like a beautiful waltz and at other times it sounds like a nightmare (in a good way)
If I'm not mistaken, it was meant to be a caricature of the Viennese waltz... TH-cam "Glenn Gould la valse"...
Also, Ravel’s themes are frequently modal instead of using major or minor scales.
It's mostly in D major
A nightmare to play lol
It is an indescribable pleasure to hear such works from real maestros!
I don’t play piano but I love to listen and this is one of my all-time favorite pieces. I’ve played Louie Lortie’s solo recording countless times! But it seems as though most of the prominent pianists avoid the solo version and play it with 4 hands, e.g, Argerich & Friere. I was lucky enough to see Anderson & Roe perform it in concert a few years ago; it was overwhelming. 🤩 What a treat to look over your virtual shoulder and watch how the solo version is executed. Wow! And thank you!
Is it just me, or is the G# at 6:55 pressed itself?

hm rather interesting actually, and no it's not just you
_This comment has been removed by the author._
It might be possible for a particle to "repeat" actions that aren't his regular state after being taken action excessively, making pressing itself possible. Or it could just be that the note in the lower octave copied itself, or that the wind blew, or that Traum has an invisible third hand, perhaps god really exists.

I love La valse! Your interpretation sounds so much more dramatic and doomed, which is very intriguing to me! Very good!
It is incredible how after so much madness you can feel a sweet and beautiful melody
11:45 He looks so thrilled and happy that he completed that hard music
By the way I love your videos!
Nope, it just looks like typical hand movement after having been sped up lol

Traum's live performance is even faster than this by 30 seconds. Mr. Wibster is wrong in his statement
@@Traumfanblueheron where is his live performance?
@@Traumfanblueheron what is his name?
Like ravel said: “WHAT IS A KEY SIGNATURE 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅”
Reminds me of current french Movies. It is all fun and games and then suddenly it just explodes into crazy chaos, before eventually unravelling back to a shapely ending. Insane, yet fascinating and musically overflowing. Wow!
Had to dance to this for a ballet performance. Stunning music and beautiful choreography. Loved it
This is truly one of kind . You’re the new and improved Rousseau for sure. On a side note... could you play op 23 no 7 by Rach . It would go perfect on this channel. Anyway love what you’re doing 👍🏼
Ouuu I love that Prelude !
Yes please. Great suggestion. My favorite rach prelude🤩🤩
Maravilhoso!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
yes.
You are absolutely insane. I have no idea how you keep pumping out these incredible pieces. It’s crazy - and we all love it hahaha!! You’re amazing :)
This was absolutely insane! I loved it!
Such a crazy piece...
Your rubato is not always to my tastes but amazing performance nonetheless. Incredible work man.

nah I like that rubato, if I could play that piece I would play it similarly
Thats what makes him Traum...lol...
Quee pero su interpretación es la mejor de todas
@@vine2197 si, tremendo pianista
If you had to give this piece a rank in your top hardest pieces you've, where would it place
Definitely in 10th for sure
10t?!?! What's number 1?
Think he meant in top 10...
Gatapotata i mean you still have all those chopin and liszt etudes.....
@@theoreticalcut1814 none of the Chopin etudes are this difficult...
Wow, nice performance
WOW Traum, you and a genius, what a wonderful, breathtaking performance
I just looked up “Chopin Scherzo No.2” and I stumbled across this channel. God I’m glad I did.
Gottschalk was my uncle I thought I was safe.
🙏
dude, who are you? you've got to be a professional who goes on tour. this is truly a world class performance of this that i'd be more than happy hearing in any concert hall. no amateur pianist can produce this many quality recordings this quickly of this wide and difficult of repertoire. this isn't just another piano youtube channel. would love to see some concerto performances if you can somehow manage that.
He's Sung Chang
@@koofumkim4571 How do you know?
@@Azian2DaMax Similar playing style and repertoire. Also they both played the exact same arrangement of one of the Hungarian rhapsodies(?) I think. And they are both Korean
Ok. I'm scared. What kind of pianista are you like wtf??!!
You deserve millions 💥✨
this piece is absolutely crazy
It looks like this has been sped up. The hand movements right after the final note of this piece seem to suggest that.
(Don't get me wrong, this is nonetheless an amazing performance even if some segments of it would be sped up to some degree. Still I cannot get around the feeling that the hand movements after the final note look unnaturally fast and I wonder what's going on here.)
Probably my favorite Ravel composition, props amigo.

So good
Got to love a bit of Ravel
This is insane! I was sweating during the whole finale. For those who were not familiar with the piece, I encourage you to listen to the orchestral version. I wanted to ask you if you would consider playing 'Alborada del gracioso' some day, but thought it would be asking too much. And then you post "La Valse" and Liszt piano sonata in the same week.... !!! You're a great pianist, and it is always a pleasure to listen and watch your performances. Please don't hurt yourself by overdoing it :)
So good 💝
🙏
Amazing interpretation.
Simply flawless
Traum is clearly his pseudonym. He seems to be a Korean pianist. I am going to put my guess as Yekwon Sunwoo. If so, surely a video of Hamelin's Tocatta "L'homme arme" would be sweet to see.
Are you sure? I thought he might be German because of his name.
@@randommathstudent2875 he's Korean, he commented in Korean once. Also his English feels quite Korean
@BiblicalyBuffDude Good chance he is a Korean pianist based in Germany. Lots of Korean pianists go to Music Hochschule such as Weimar and Hannover for piano education!
@@randommathstudent2875 Sunwoo has studied in Germany, so it lines up, among a couple other things (i.e. Sunwoo has performed La valse, Traum's channel shows up around what might be Sunwoo's end of the 3 year mark of career management provided by winning Gold at the Van Cliburn competition [though Covid may be just as likely], Korean in his Facebook posts, similar skin tone and lack of noticeable blemishes, also wears all black at concerts, etc.). Perhaps, hand vein comparisons are needed next? His FB banner has a clear picture of them. Lol
@@florisende8015 he told me that his piano education is based in germany and that he has a lot of good memories of germany
one of my favorite pieces of ravel! I love this piece from start to finish especially from minute 8:58 to minute 9:20, those thirds make me chill! and 10:17 to 10:30 those glissandos are pure chaos, very pretty your rubato
Breathtaking
I've watched this like five times now and I still can't tell what it's supposed to sound like. Would love to hear more Ravel like his Tombeau, Mirroirs, or Sonatine even, good stuff.
Ravel, how many dissonances have You wrote in "la valse"?

Impressive pièce
seems that Rousseau and Kassia have a new rival hehe
More than a rival. The can't compete with him.
@@Milo-fh8zl ye
Yeah but Traum definitely got a rival in terms of effects since Rousseau‘s effects look absolutely stunning and are godlike compared to Traum‘s but in the end it‘s about the playing, right? And that‘s where Traum is definitely superior
There is some pieces where traum is better than rousseau but between Rousseau and kassia he has a better sounding piano
more like a new god to pray
That piece expresses the genius of Ravel. It contrains all elements of what will be music of xx century and espacially jazz (ans some dodecaphonism music). Thanks Traum to have played that crazy and unusual piece.
Thank you Sébastien
oh god someone's done la valse!!! i'm subscribing for sure!!!!
Amazing
thanks!
This is truly an amazing piece, and ABSOLUTELY my favorite classical piece ever! There are some “scary” parts that I personally find more depressing than scary, in which I absolutely love. And there are also the beautiful parts, like 10:18, which sounds like something that would be in some kind of romance movie. And then there are the insane parts, like 11:26, which makes this piece even more amazing! Bravo Traum, bravo.
