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...!

5:30

The most mysterious moments in Chopin. So evocative of a dreamworld.

[josephalvarez]

9:12 that moment always reaches straight into my soul. What a beautiful melody

[siralekbanjo]

The transition back to the opening motif at 6:37 has got to be the most satisfying musical resolution I’ve ever heard

[yagiz]

Rachmaninoff : Today is my birthday.

Traum : Uploads Chopin.

Great video anyway.

[TheFlamingPiano]

Wow, that's the hardest ballade from what I know. Amazing and lots of feels here!

3:27 is what shredded my heart into pieces

[Thealiszt]

Traum’s specialities :
- Doing a vibrato on piano
- answering only by emojis 😎

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.

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

I love how he just randomly upload insane pieces like this

[Dylonely_]

1st april : Rachmaninoff's birthday
Traum : *publish a Chopin's piece*
Rachmaninoff : Am I a joke to you ?
Traum : Yes, it's april fool

[HiDefOuch]

This is probably one of the most gorgeous pieces of music in the world.

And masterfully executed, might I add!

[moky]

Chopin’s most emotionally captivating and sublime masterpiece. Thank you Traum!

[jukeban]

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

[KaasIsLekker]

My man Traum is hiding something from
Those pinkys...
How can you stretch them so far?!! 😂🤣

[gspianoguitar]

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!

4 years later and I'm still completely in love with your playing. Thank you again.
