The coda is like you're being pushed off a cliff. So fast, so scary, so clear, so impatient, so hurry, I like that feeling gave to me by u.
May I ask, where does the coda start in the video?
It starts at about 7:53.
Beethoven always sounds like he's pushing someone off a cliff, and Chopin always sounds like he is the one being pushed. :)

(Not my original comment, don't know where I saw it)
That's deep...
Things to Do I saw it too
9:06 ahhh that vibrato
xd
I love how the note doesn't wobble in pitch!
Such beautiful vibrato 😍
I approve of this old friend
wait
how you doing sir ferenc
It’s great innit'
Oh hey
Hello mu disciples
I wish I knew what Chopin was thinking when he wrote pieces like this. Maddeningly Genius.
Chopin was thinking of Liszt composing harder Etudes than he's :D
No thinking, just feeling
@@le4chehenry324 i agree with chopin's interpretation using a man's emotion, but liszt himself also does that but not as well as chopin's...
Take liebestraume for example
@@steph6559 Liebestraüm is easily better than most of Chopin's etudes.
@@Itibitydetskuhis etudes are pieces to show off your technical mastery. They arent supposed to be the most beautiful pieces
This piece can tell a lot about a player imo. Your performance reveals you as a seasoned veteran whose repertoire would put many a professor of piano to shame. Incredible playing.
Also, you do you, but I’d go and change you ad settings to not have midroll ads. It kinda ruins the listening experience. CZcams just changed it so all videos longer than 8 minutes, automatically have mid-roll ads placed on them unless specifically changed not to. Kinda annoying but I think your listeners would greatly appreciate hearing your performances uninterrupted.
Yeah midrolls on a piece like the kind of ruins it

@@megumi_0 of course there are ad blockers, but it's nice to give back to the performers/artists that make these videos. I don't mind sitting through a few ads at the start or end of a video for that.
My fascination for the piano started with this piece, this sad and lonely melody, suddenly it explodes in desperation and pure emotional chaos, it's like an emotional rollercoaster ride everytime I hear it.
You played it so beautiful, thank you so much^^
that is such a perfect description right as I read your comment while listening to the first explosive part I got chills😬
I find the same, perhaps even more so, with the second ballade. The contrast between the quiet and graceful theme, and the explosive section that follows, is a delightful 'shock' every time one hears it.
Watch the last scene of your lie in April where he performs this piece and it’s exactly what you described
@@membersonly765 I feel when he said that he knows damn well what he was talking about 😉
@Matteo Budanovic wtf, why not? 😂 i don't think you know me
0:00 : Largo 'f'
2:45 : arpeggio 'f'
5:05 : powerful part 'ff'
5:36 : left hand leaps 'p, piu animato'
6:25 : more powerful part 'ff'
7:49 : coda 'molto cresc', 'il piu forte possible' then ff, presto con fuoco
8:36 : scales 'con forza'
Ending : 9:07 'fff'
Thank you!
I'm sure, 2:12 is the powerful part.
4:51 is where powerful part stars
wedemeyerr that's the buildup into the arpeggiated section.
@@wedemeyerr yes, it starts powerful and faster.
@@wedemeyerr yes; i love this part of the piece

@@pianistofmusic290 you must not be a Weeb... YLIA= Your Lie in April, it’s an anime and this beautiful piece is in it. It’s definitely not a children’s anime, it wrecked me after I watched it but I’m playing piano and taking lessons again because of it.

@@collectorofcats294 I thought all anime was like kid’s shows 😭😭😭 I have no idea why I thought that
Amazing technique and emotional playing! Great job as always! This is among my favorites!
Look who I came across haha, love your content btw
Flaming yoooo
Let’s go flaming woohoooo
Honestly this is one of the best interpretations of this ballade and it is amazing.His technique is incredible and he knows what he is doing the whole time,especially in the major part.

This is the kind of comment i am searching for when listening to chopin
Is this a your lie in April reference? actually asking btw I cant fully remember but i feel like it is
@@RandomGuy-bb6ru yes
Your playing literally brings me to tears. I’ve only been playing for a little over a year, but I’ve learned so much. I haven’t had many lessons, so I just reach myself songs. Some are a little complex, some are super simple. But it’s pianists like you who help me realize why I started, you help me remember my passion and love for it, you inspire me and give me hope. Thank you. My dream is play like you one day. Even if you don’t see this, I still hope my words somehow get carried out to you. Again, thank you for everything.
This ballade, and his others, is like an etude in itself. I've been trying to learn this one myself for a while. Out of all of them, the first and fourth are my favorite.
Me too! I feel like this is also quite a popular opinion. I have learned the first one and now I’m started the fourth. Both are extremely hard.🥵
Me too!
Its possibly the reason why those two are the most famous lol
I just got LEGIT CHILLS listening to this. Goosebumps up and down my arms
this piece summarizes all that a pianist has learnt in his career, not on technique left behind, and i have nothing but utmost most respect for those who perform it, and especially those who perform it well
Nice, i was waiting to see your interpretation in this piece
Yes
@@FranzLisztOfficial you're jealous
@@Dylonely42 yes of your shades
Such a powerful and emotional piece, also the last piece played in Your Lie In April
I listened to this from Horowitz, Lisitsa, Kissin, etc. and never understood what people like it so much... and then I listened to you play it. Holy smokes at 4:50-5:20 wow. Absolutely gorgeous.
rly??!!
@@steventsun yeah!
You didn't even like Krystian Zimerman's? His version is my favorite because of how balanced it is all throughout.
Listen to GO or ABM versions.
I loved Kissin's version!
the best synthesia player
It's not synthesia it's just an edit
Is it bad I learn from synthesia 100%
Rousseau: AM I A JOKE TO YOU????
@@jugemujugemugokonosurikire4735 Just don’t get used to it and start learning how to read music :), and practice playing by ear ☺️!
@@jemapelleanthony6305 yes
7:53 absolutely amazing
I’m just curious as to how you’ve continuously put out so many pieces in the last two months. I assume most of these have been part of your repertoire, but it still amazes me. Keep up the amazing work and dedication. As a fellow musician, your interpretations have been inspiring me through these trying times.
He is probably a virtuous stage pianist who decided to join in on the fun and make his own synthesia program
Probably prerecorded a bunch of videos and is pumping them out. Also probably just has learned a bunch of pieces too. Quite a good strategy but I think he’s uploading too fast. He should change to once every 2 days in order to make it last longer.
He's a concert pianist. He can learn pieces ultra fast
p-y true, but I don’t know really anybody in general who can learn this many pieces to this extent in such a short time frame while keeping such great accuracy and interpretation.
TheBryGi that’s more along the lines of what I was thinking
Been listening to so many interpretations of this piece but this has definitely become my favorite. I keep hearing such a light touch or a piano approach to it from so many. I think this deserves the very much forte approach Traum gives it. Fortissimo really fits for a lot of it.
Beautiful playing!
7:56 - 7:58 amazing voicing
I agree. However i think there were many parts that was completely without dynamics. For example from 6:21 all the way to 7:05. Just loud all the time. You might like that, i certainly don't.
@@bilbobaggins138there definitely are dynamics in that passage... You could perhaps say that it was flatter dynamics-wise than what it could've been playing it with less intensity overall but they clearly are there anyway
I agree, this is by far the best voicing of that little section I’ve ever heard. I don’t like the way most pianists make that part as dull as they do.
My favourite piano piece is this one! I love Chopin so much!
This is they type of dude that can learn a concerto in two days. He uploads like a madman.
Respect for your performance. As great as it is to listen to, it must be something else to play it. I'm healthily jealous. Thank you.
Chopin sculpt the human experience in music. In my opinion a minimalist, as the polyphonic-like cords, shifting rhythms and accents all convey much more than just the notes. Even sometimes a single unexpected 'missing' note can say so much. A true genius, a master.
The aggressive shaking hand at the end was so extra, I love it❤
8:28 A BRUTAL part with a BRUTAL interpretation!
One word 'Incredible'.
I don't see anyone talking about 2:12 - 2:29 its so underrated. It reminds me of betrayal. the piece goes from soft and somber and then sinisterly reveals its true nature
Your interpretation of this master piece made me happy, thanks for your work
Honestly, I'm really proud, that some geniuses like Chopin come from my country (Poland). Oh and btw, who saw the movie "The pianist"?
Very crude movie. But excellent
I watched the movie two times in a row because it was so good! It was also very sad
I watched it in 2018 , It’s the best movie I’ve seen ever
He's also french as his dad was french and he lived in france most of his life.
@@paulkervran6601 so you're saying if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck....Anyways, he IS the citizen of the world so no worries.
Wow ! Your playing gave me goosebumps throughout the whole piece !
I have seen MANY performances on this ballade and this is by far my favorite one. Your interpretation on the coda is magnificent and I feel overjoy listening how well you use the rubatos on 8:02 - 8:21. Slowing a bit and accelerating, stressing some notes here and there. It is beautiful! I am finishing this ballade and I use your interpretation as my guideline. Thank you for sharing this video!
Might be one of the nicest renditions of this ballad that I’ve heard
That Bb bass after 6:11 just right in the feels
I'm learning this piece (almost finished) as well! It's a fun piece but takes quite some time to get right. I've technically finished learning the notes but I prefer to say that I haven't finished learning because it still sounds bad.
To people who are impressed but his rate of upload, I'd say that he just has a massive repertoire, or he has sight reading skills equivalent to that if a professional, or a mix of both, to certain extents. Either way, that's a good thing
Ooor, it is fake
@@bozzigmupp510 Huh? We literally have video evidence of his fingers moving over the notes of the piece. How could it be fake? If you mean he speeds it up, it would still be impressive to be able to play a new piece every single day at a reduced speed. But if you look at a pianist of this ability, the odds that he would be interested in "cheating" the music is very low
@@TheDusty1920 yep! absolutely right! the only way he/she could have cheated, if anything, was to have a team of pianists who have quite impressive technique and just playing diff pieces
May I ask for how long you've been playing the piano? The first Ballade is THE piece I want to learn but I don't know when I should start learning it..
@@kelvinhua202 ballade no1 for the first piece?!? Are you on drugs? Or have i read your comment wrongly?
Traum, you're literally my favourite pianist. I listen to your interpretations every day and super grateful for you, thank you!
Yesssssssss, I'm so moved thank you 😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😇😇
3:45 this is my favourite part. The calm before the storm. Heaven on earth.
i wonder how long have u played the piano, and how you have such large repertoire. as always a great performance.

@@eliananicole9295 HAHAHAHAH You guys, are amazing
Master, why are you here? You came here to give him a tip or two yourself?
Yeah, I remember when the german officer asked the pianist to play something on the piano
that movie is amazing!
It was a good movie
Yeah me too! I'm sad that he died, he was a good man 😔
What movie??
@@CatsAndClassicalMusic The Pianist (2002)
The amount of musical ground covered from 5:35 to 6:21 away from and right back to the main theme is just staggering
After watching the movie I couldn't think in anything other than this piece
Same!
The fact that the notes turned red when the coda arrived is pretty nice
I swear all these pianist youtubers must be some VERY HIGH profile concert pianists. It is absurd how good this rendition is.
ofc he is
He revealed it, he's a very great concert pianist, one of the best in my opinion

Incredible work! Piano playing and also the visuals are purely incredible! Respect and support from Austria 👍
Wunderschön gespielt und die Visualisierung mit dem Feuerwerk ist wirklich sehr gelungen.
Vielen Dank für die knapp 10 Minuten purer Ekstase und liebe Grüße aus Leipzig
One of my favorite pieces of all time! Absolutely gorgeous and amazing Traum! Thank you for brightening my day!
Absolutely Beautiful Interpretation of Chopin's Ballade, a truly awe inspiring piece
7:48 Why is mah girl spitting cherry blossoms 😢😢
sad kaori noises 😥
Traum,..............incomparable ~ I love how you 'express' your hands before, during and after the piece....it definitely adds drama ...
Chopin: write first ballade while severe depressed
Traum: let’s put some fireworks in it
I'm a self-taught pianist and I've started learnig this piece 1 month ago. I have been practicing the piece every day for an hour and now I am studying this part at around 2:40. I have set a goal to myself: by the end of the year to learn this piece. And i would really like to perform it in public:)
!buena suerte! de seguro terminas está canción es maravillosa 🤩
@@Helloo14369 ¡Muchas gracias!
Ich übte das Stück im Klavierunterricht vor über 20 Jahren. Ich erinnere mich, dass ich etwa ein dreiviertel Jahr brauchte.
who asked ?
How is it going?
2:00 - 2:40 the part that gives me goosebumps no matter how many times I watch it
What about 7:49
@@isaacchan2706 that is the second best part in my opinion.
@@user-lh7dn2gc3z i love these kinds of melodies. I always feel mixed feelings everytime I hear something that sounds like that.
@@rituparn22same thoughts!
@@rituparn22for me it's the other way around
Thank you.
I have been wating for this piece.
Soooooo beautiful!!!
Always wanted to try this but looking at it now I’ll stick to the etudes😆
CZcams Customer Support umm the 4th Ballade has the techniques from all of the etudes compiled in it. So no. Also on an emotional and musical level the ballades are far more complex and profound.
@CZcams Customer Support Not really. The ballade is difficult in other aspects. And the technical aspect... the Coda is as hard or harder then most of the etudes. A etude is about 1 technique - the ballade requires many + musicality and deep understanding.
bro, this is actually not difficult (or as difficult as you've imagined). Technique wise, you might have to spend a bit more time on the coda, but the general trouble is just refining it to (near) perfection. But of course, you can take some chopin etudes and come back for this (maybe 25-5, 25-12, 25-9)
Bryson Cheng Music I agree with you, Chopin’s ballades can be complex on emotional and musical level. Some of them are lengthy too...
@@generalsnicky3219 well you have your opinion and i have mine. I do play the ballade and some etudes and so far the ballade is still the hardest piece i do play. And still i am nowhere as good as Traum here
OMG YESS!!! This is definitely my favorite classical piece ever due to multiple reasons! Absolutely beautifully played, this gave me goosebumps
I just watched the pianist yesterday
Thank you so much for this outstanding performance
Stunning performance! I love it! Thank you.
The more i watch this man, the more i understand him. At first i prefered Rosseu over him but the more i know about piano, i can say that he has his own style and plays with passion. Kassia is also good but this is perfect. He is best pianist on CZcams.
This is absolutely amazing! I was just about to request this piece. The visuals are better than any other piano video I've seen.
seriously can’t wait for you to become as big as rousseau or kassia!!! i love how you play
Great playing! And a beautiful interpretation! I've been looking forward to this one! 👏👏
Traum, I truly mean this - this interpretation is up there with that of Zimmerman for me. You were able to articulate a far greater emotional range than most in your interpretation while managing to keep many sections feeling fresh, a tough thing to accomplish with such a renowned work. For that, bravo! My craving for this piece must now be shared between you and Zimmerman
Congrats on 30k subs man!!! You really deserve every last one of them!!!
I don't think there is any other classical piano channel on CZcams that uploads videos of such quality and with such frequency as you do! Keep up the great work! :D
So beautiful but soooo unattainable!!! Amazing performance.
You're so good!
Also liked my own comment :P
Yes I've been waiting on this piece. This interpretation was beautiful well done man🔥🔥❤
Love this piece. Your output level and playing are both exceptional! Excited for 10,000 subs :)

Yes! My favorite♥️
Are y crazy to put an advertisement right on the middle of playing
This man has such a large piano repertoire, Rousseau has a full on team and can't pull of this many uploads in 1 week.

Facts!!!!
@@bozzigmupp510 except it's not
I guess its because rousseau is focusing more on his visuals
Well done, Traum!! I am learning this piece myself, and it is probably my favorite piece in classical music.
Excellent performance!
Things to Do
No matter how many times Ive watched this, it still feels crazy every single time amazing 😳 the best coda Ive ever found on youtube
My second favorite piano piece of all time. And so well done!
What's your first?
What's your first?
It’s one that will seem a little strange, but I have personal ties to it. The story about how Chopin never felt it was ready, and the piece feels like it’s a narrative that follows the course of my life speaks deeply to me, but that means the bulk of the song is more slow and seemingly sad, but I think it’s a complex and incredible piece:
Nocturne in E Minor, Op. 72, No. 1
글을 안 쓰고 갈 수가 없군요! 늦췄다 당겼다, 힘을 줬다 뺐다 하면서 떄로 정점으로 때로 심연으로 치달으며 굴곡을 그리는 연주가 너무도 인상적입니다. 발라드 1번에 관한 한, 지금까지 찾아 들었던 수십(?) 개 연주보다, 이 연주가 적어도 내게는 가장 와닿습니다.
