WTF!!!!!!! Yo, I stumbled upon this channel by accident through the youtube algorithm. Damn, looking at the list of videos that you have uploaded, there's a lot of difficult repertoire that is LRSM level and beyond. It's insane, honestly. Shouldn't you save some of these pieces for when your channel grows really big? Unless you have a whole lot more suprises coming along the way, which I'm absolutely looking forward to!

[@mightymaniac8712]

Frighteningly, I think he has plenty to spare. I believe he said he has all transcendental etudes and Rachmaninoff etudes in his repertoire

[@polzovatelsnikomc]

what is lrsm?

[@okaynodokey]

Ya right, who is this nice gentleman?

[@archgod_yt2431]

@@polzovatelsnikomc It is a level that is a part of the syllabus of the Associate Board Of The Royal Schools Of Music.(ABRSM for short) In short, the syllabus has 8 grades for the piano that change every 2 years (there are also other instruments, which have different syllabus rotation years) , followed by 3 upper levels, which in order of level are: DipABRSM (which is equivalent to a diploma), LRSM (which is equivalent to a Bachelor's degree) and FRSM ( which is the same as a Master's degree). In the 8 grades, you select 3 pieces from the ABRSM Exam Pieces book to play in the ABRSM examination, divided into 3 lists (specifically List A,B,C), and you select a piece from each of these three lists. In general, List A is Baroque to Early Classical pieces, List B is Late Classical to Romantic pieces, and List C is mostly Late Romantic to 20th Century pieces (Though it doesn't necessarily have to come from that time period, the pieces could have an old stylistic form done in a modern context, like Shostakovich's Op.87 No.2 Prelude and Fugue in A Minor that appeared in List A of the 2019-2020 Exam Pieces for Piano). The grade exams have an Aural, Sight Reading and Scales test. In the upper levels, you select 4 pieces from an official list that they have and their recommended editions. (You can look up the syllabus online and download the file in a PDF format, just search for DipABRSM syllabus and look at the table of contents to scroll down and find what you want). The exams come with a Viva Voce (something like an interview that will ask questions ranging from history to your performance) and Quick Study (which is sight reading but you have 5 minutes to do so). You also have to submit a Written Submission in a certain amount of words that is essentially about what you're doing. For more information, you can look at the website. (I wrote this at a really bad time, I have to go now and prepare for school with 15 minutes on the clock, cheers!)

[@fredericchopin3006]

This is why Stravinsky wasn't invited into my mansion. Even Méreaux couldn't play this right. And he has something even my boy Liszt couldn't play!

[@babygirl4169]

Lol, Liszt could play this with ease, but in order to achieve that. He has to master, not just sight-read it

[@janne7263]

Petrushka isn't even meant for solo piano

[@panzerkampfwagenviiimaus5224]

Finally somebody that know mereaux. I’m pretty sure he wrote something harder than this, but he could not play it himself. Like op 63 no 38(?) or op 63 no. 45 and bravura

[@panzerkampfwagenviiimaus5224]

At least I think he couldn’t play them, I have only heard that he couldn’t play the extremely difficult ones he wrote

[@sankarankuttypaloth9503]

Mereaux died before Stravinsky was born so obviously he couldn't play it

You don't have nearly as many subs as the other synthesia-pianists on YT, but you play on a completely different tier. I hope for the best in your work. Love your playing.

[@joshuahoman1184]

It's sped up in sections and edited like crazy - easy to tell when the velocity of every note sounds so harsh even during the "quiet" portions he plays. There are notes being played that his fingers don't actually hit and vice versa.

FYI, “petrushka” means parsley in Russian.

[@pentaxel3905]

That's true, but in this context, it says that it's Peter instead

[@klusha_1]

@@pentaxel3905 yes! i forgot to include that as well. peter is Пётр in Russian and we do this thing where we add a few words to the name to symbolize “closeness” to that person (just like they do it in English, as in Mike becomes [sometimes] Mickey). Petrushka is also a nickname for people who are named Peter in Russian.

[@OmarTarekPianist]

You're an absolutely amazing pianist!!, and also very brave on putting the top view of this piece hahaha, lots of pianists just cheat a lot on some parts it on behalf of the speed, specially in the left hand scales section. WELL FREAKING DONE!

[@raquelfisk3985]

I’m a pianist who’s currently studying this. I must say I never thought to take out notes the way he did here to make it easier...I see the pinky or the thumb aren’t pressing down on the keys (they’re not playing) in the difficult parts. Maybe there was another audio used to overlap his playing? I wonder how I can hear all the notes but very clearly can’t see him play them. Traum how did you do that?

[@bro-sc5yo]

he plays all the notes its the camera angle

[@duryi6399]

He is playing them, but its because the computer or the camera dont see them

[@arthurhogan2133]

Hey, Traum, where are the other two movements?? I know you can handle them. But for this performance, Wonderful!!! One of the staples, to put it mildly, the Great pianist, Alexis Weissenberg played. He said, " it's playable despite it's apparent difficulties". The last movement poses the most difficult demands, mostly due to it's control in leaps ' alternating of the left and right hands. The piano!! A true percussive instrument.
