Traums gonna have every Chopin piece done in a matter of time🤣❤️

[@hoosas5998]

Yeah, I mean he has some preludes and nocturnes and polonaises and then a ton of mazurkas and then he’s all done with Chopin!

[@nerrdinho]

@@hoosas5998 mazurkas shouldn’t be much of a challenge for him.

Always Chopin manages to break my heart, I'm so in love with his pieces, thank you for bringing them to us

[@ChopinFreak]

Yes Chopin is amazing

[@aeolianharp3207]

I am currently practicing this piece for a competition, hearing your interpretation helped me a lot ! I love your playing, keep going :)

[@Traumfanblueheron]

I like your profile name. Traum's Chopin Etude OP 25-1 is my most favorite interpretation of all.

[@monkeyman15387]

I played this piece for a competition earlier this month :)

[@aeolianharp3207]

@xking_x I hope your competition went well 😊😉🙃

[@monkeyman15387]

@@aeolianharp3207 thanks! I hope yours goes well too. good luck! 😁

[@fxshido]

Please don't take this interpretation. It's pretty uninspired and doesn't encapsulate this piece's odyssey. Beautiful playing but not a good interpretation of this piece.

[@SirloucoPiano]

Thank you for bringing new beautiful pieces to my ears. I never heard this, it's beautiful. Your performance is great as always. Thank you Traum! :)

[@chopinaddict6435]

Traum! Thank you again! How lucky you are! You don't have to search for Chopin on KZbin to listen to those gorgeous masterpieces. You can play everything you want. What a gift! Listening to it while playing must be some out of this world experience

[@raithcorimanyarojas749]

Wow two videos this day, nice job man

[@ellahazan-fuchs7249]

one of my goals as a pianist is to play this piece. one of my all time favourites. thank you!

[@zephthezquirrellord]

This is not as difficult as it looks (But to flex, but just to prove my point I've been playing for 4 days and I can play most of it!) So you can definitely learn it! Go ahead, it's really fun to play

[@88KeystoCure]

Love this piece!! Yes, more people should play it! Bravo!!! Thank you for playing this!

[@Traumfanblueheron]

Maestro! Thank YOU for this new piece.

[@vesperiadragon3221]

I'll never get over how much I love Traums interpretations of Chopin pieces. So fantastic

[@newhorizon4470]

OMG, I really love this piece. I listen to it every day on Sunday recital !!

[@blapask]

Just what I needed today. Thank you TRAUM!

[@johndavey72]

Traum . You certainly have an audience that are serious Chopin players and know his work . They all , without exception ,applaud and admire your interpretations. I am no skilled pianist but l am constantly amazed by your knowledge and obvious love for Chopin . ......yet another " new" piece to me . Thankyou .

[@alexaben6299]

Traum, Could we see some more Ravel, Debussy, and Satie?

[@benalkan8559]

Cool way to discover new music

[@stellacollector]

I agree that despite being not so famous, this is still a beautiful polonaise nonetheless! I want to practice this piece one day, and I think your performance here will help! Thank you for playing this polonaise!

[@rachfan2228]

Beautiful melody! Chopin really was a master of melody

Always wonderful to hear a piece I've never heard before (saying this as a big Chopin fan). Thanks Traum!

Great performance as always!

[@fredericchopin7538]

One of the first pieces of Chopin that I heard actually, loved it since first listen 20+ years ago. All beautiful.

[@jaimymetts]

I love Chopin 💕💕 and this is so amazing!!

[@sparx1599]

Speaking of polonaises, could you play the andante spianato et grande polonaise brilliante? Great performance btw.

[@stellacollector]

Now that's something I definitely wanna watch.

[@bachouvenn430]

Yes please

[@imdark7372]

Hello traum, first of all, AMAZING interpretation :) You probably aren't going to see this but.. at least I try. In my opinion, I think you shouldn't put any music when the outro shows up. It kind of cuts the atmosphere that this amazing chopin piece gives, because after it ends, I really like the silence, you know? It makes me feel the end of the piece. And it goes from a strong and emotional piece to something that sounds classical, which doesn't have anything to do with romantism :) It's just like ads. You are getting into the music, or even when it ends, and an ad just shows up and cuts the connection you had with the music.. Maybe it's just me.. But in conclusion, I think the silence after your interpretations is very important, to mark the end :) Nevertheless, amazing, fantastic and incredible perfomance traum. Keep it up! (Sorry if I couldn't explain this that well, english isn't my main language)

[@Traumfanblueheron]

Have you listened to Traum Radio Channel yet? No outro's and you can pause the piece. However, it's still quite a new channel so not all the 254 videos are uploaded yet. But, he did premier the Radio Channel with Beethoven Liszt's Transcription of Symphony #8. You can also watch Traum's playful artistry in his Traumian channel.

[@imdark7372]

@@Traumfanblueheron Thank you, but still, this is where most of his videos are

[@Traumfanblueheron]

@@imdark7372 That is correct because he only started the Radio Channel 6 weeks ago, I am sure he will upload more in the Radio Channel. You also have to keep in mind that his uploads are not CD's, he is sharing his beautiful artistry but it is also a form of livelihood. Traum only started this channel because of Covid lockdown. We can all keep hoping that perhaps we can watch him play live on a stage again.

[@imdark7372]

@@Traumfanblueheron Yeah, I agree. At least we have acess to his amazing interpretations!

An exercise in legato octaves in the left hand with quick changeovers. I recently took this one up again.

[@stathiszoulakis9599]

Can you do Chopin mazurka in c sharp minor op 6 n 2 I'm half way learning it. It's one of my favorite mazurkas (Rubenstein interpretation)

[@chezz__yeetz2361]

Awesome!

[@alanleoneldavid1787]

This is great! One of my favorite polonaises. But i think the most underrated is op 71 no 2 in b flat major

[@jorgegutierreztellez3663]

na.

[@PianOG]

Every piece from Chopin is underrated when you see how well some pop songs do lol

[@wexlermackey2395]

But they were super popular at the time, so what’s the difference

[@SirSauna]

Quite sad and melancholic piece. Beautifully played :)

[@johnsantrizos7638]

이번에 당타이손 내한 공연에서 연주할 곡인데 미리 들어봅니다!

[@안규진-q9b]

3분 14초 부분에서 음을 꾹 누르도록 화면에 막대가 길게 나오는데, Traum님은 살짝 눌렀다가 금방 떼버리시던데, 혹시 이유가 있으신가요? 그리고 막대가 길다는 것은 깊게 음을 누르고 있어야 한다는 뜻일 텐데, Traum님은 좀 과장된 쵸현으로 말하자면 마치 스타카토처럼 뚝 끊기는 느낌으로 건반을 떼시더라고요. 그래서 약간 아쉬움이 남는 연주였습니다. 그래도 너무나 좋은 쇼팽 폴로네이즈였습니다.

[@namaemikado5066]

[@lighting7508]

I need to noodle around in different keys because my favourite key is c minor I could see all the harmony play out visually but I can’t even come close to doing that in any other key

[@henrynguyen7500]

[@PedrowDias]

Would you consider playing Chopin Nocturne Op 37 n 1?

[@ethanbrowncomposer]

Yeah you really only hear the Military and Heroic one. I also like the one in G# minor.

[@ByNormal]

Didn't expect this...

[@AjEmJorMasta]

Beautiful, but my mind twists inside out when i try to imagine dancing polonaise to this piece

[@jameswhatsit]

You may need a little more base in your sound mixing if your audience primarily use the mobile app. On my cruddy little phone speakers I could barely hear the baseline melody and the RH came across very tinny. Mind you, this probably sounds perfect on proper speakers, so don’t worry about it if your stats say most of your audience listen on PC/Mac :)

[@marcinbaranowski2282]

Can You Play Liszt transcendental etude 8? (Btw Chopin c minor polonaisie is my 3rd favorite)

[@jaketang892]

hey traum , im a big fan, may i request a piece called Reminiscences de Don Juan, it’s an opera called Don Giovanni with music composed by mozart, but it was later transcripted by Listz. it’s known to be one of the hardest piece in the whole piano repertoire, and also so colourful and exciting.

[@samaritan29]

nice. reminds me of mahler piano quartet
