🎈트라움의 라이브 공연 인 서울!! 우리 토요일에 만나요 ❤ 🎈Traum's live performance in Seoul!! See you on Saturday :)) Thrilled to play for you all! So much looking forward to it. ❤

[@arkmusic8948]

If I could, I would fly from America just to see you play. ❤

The good new of this day :

[@lisata5464]

“The tearful conclusion”. Bro, I literally cried because of how beautiful this coda is. oh my god, I don’t regret holding my tears for years just to let them out on this gorgeous and soulful piece.

[@purplmastr37]

OGs know that Traum posted this before, but this time it is played completely different. The entire piece flows much more smoothly.

[@Traumfanblueheron]

An amazing artist expressing his soul from the deepest and most exquisite level.

[@classicalmusiccanchangethe2757]

I imagine this Chopin work as a conflict between good and evil, enthousiasm and sadness. I'm happy to hear again such a magnificent story told by the piano. Thanks, Traum!

[@yorusaka3554]

He dedicated this piece to Schumann, who es bipolar, so it might also be that. I like you interpretation as well though

[@jonstewart464]

@@yorusaka3554 Fascinating. Always sounded exactly like bipolar disorder to me, the way the descent into chaos and despair feels so fast and inexorable, and eventually the storm recedes by its own accord. Incredible composition, reaching the very edges of the soul. Wonderful playing!

[@essentialist12]

This sounds so much like Schubert.. So calming and bittersweet the lyrical melodies. I heard that Chopin dedicated this Ballade to Schumann, and this was reciprocated by Chopin because Schumann had dedicated his Kreisleriana, Op. 16 to him earlier in time.

[@eenayeah]

Glad to see Traum remake this ballade with his higher quality video!

[@nikolasbradley3608]

I could listen to Traums Chopin all day

[@Traumfanblueheron]

I actually do. 😁

[@constantin250]

Mom wake up, Traum just posted

[@juhwan51]

Along with numbers 1, 3, and 4, this is my favorite Chopin ballad!😁

[@simosapos4177]

XD

[@TheFlamingPiano]

I just heard my friend play this not long ago. Such an intense, emotional piece with another crazy coda! Love your interpretation!

[@PeakOfHumor]

Chopin's every piece is amazing! I cant decide which one is my favourite. Its so sad he only lived 39 years. I wish he could live more and left us more amazing pieces.

[@chatnuss]

true!

[@FredericChopinReal]

Yes

[@marciogholmie9803]

YESS Imagine... Ballade n 5 and 6 Scherzo n 5 and 6 12 more études ...

[@mcbuuiop]

This is Traum's second time uploading piece(like scherzo no 2), but this time it feels more natural and gives honestly it's so heartbreaking at the very end as the happy F major turns into that a minor chord since all the past storm. Very good interpretation as usual, good luck in Seoul Traum!

[@kaihagemann9928]

probably the cleanest interpretation ive heard of this ballade, much better than the first upload you did on it. the dynamics are just out of this world

[@AlehanInbau]

6:14 | ¡¡Just... a mind-blowing dramatic moment!!

[@DirkdeZwijger]

Beautifully played. Thanks for giving us the opportunity of (re)visiting this piece played with such quality!

[@nocturnalvisionmusic]

Lovely Tearful Conclusion. Felt this one 💗

I am re- living the privileged experience, so much emotions expressed and resonated. Thank YOU, Maestro.❤❤❤ Best wishes for your live performance, it's going to be a most memorable and meaningful experience for both the subscribers and you. Be very very proud and hold your head high.

[@paul_cochrane]

It always makes my day when Traum uploads! ❤

[@Velnox]

Even if it's a piece you uploaded before, that still makes my day better when I recieve a Traum's notification!

[@dwacheopus]

How beautiful and soulful. Maestro

[@Mazurking]

You consistently drop interpretations that are just up there with the best pianists in my opinion. The coda you play here is the most intense one I've heard so far. ncredible player you are!

[@shimmime]

This piece has always been a favourite of mine, I love the harmonies of the slow, pastoral sections. Thank you for playing it so well Traum, and bringing out all the emotion.

[@luisgraca]

Even better than the 1st time you uploaded it. You're out of this world, Sir

[@Traumfanblueheron]

Maestro has great techniques but for me, his ability of soulful expression is second to none. He is truly an amazing artist.

[@luisgraca]

@@Traumfanblueheron agreed!

[@duartevader2709]

Just finished my music theory exam and this is a great to relax after doing it :) It did go really well tho

[@lavatrex]

nice!!

[@resorcinolamide]

I love how you played the coda :D I'm obsessed with this piece now hehehe

[@shaon8896]

My favorite Chopin ballade… I loved your old interpretation so I’m excited to listen to this one!

[@kas-xe5ku]

There's something about this performance that really sets it apart from the previous one. It's refined, more fluid, pays closer attention to smaller details, and stays faithful to the score's indications (the crescendo on the trills near the coda stood out to me). The older performance is passionate and has a sense of suspense and tension that really gives excitement to the whole piece. Although I think I prefer the previous recording slightly more (the coda is just too powerful!), this performance is nothing short of phenomenal nonethless.

[@personthatexists92]

I discovered this piece on your channel a pretty long time ago. Hearing it inspired me to learn it myself, so I started learning it. Just a few weeks ago, after taking a bit of a break from it, I finished learning it. I would (and still do) come back to your video for ideas since I wasn't learning it with a teacher, but most of the time I come back to it just to listen to it. Your rendition of this piece is one of my favorites, and now it's my favorite piece by Chopin. Seeing this video pop up in my notifications made me happy.

[@pastzk9253]

did you learn how to play piano on your own or with a teacher?

[@personthatexists92]

@@pastzk9253 I have had a teacher the entire time I've been playing piano, but I worked on pieces that were way out of the level I was supposed to be at (I progressed very quickly at the time), and eventually my teacher couldn't help me very much anymore, so I got a new teacher. From then on, I've almost always had a teacher, excluding the times between switching teachers.

[@csabaivancsik9350]

Awesome! I love the depth you gave to this piece! :)

[@Cloudiac]

Yooo this is my favorite ballade. Glad to see you play it again

[@BrinaSun]

It's not just underrated. It was hated when it got published

[@dunkleosteus430]

​@@dwacheopus Why? People in the early 1800s were odd.

[@dwacheopus]

@@dunkleosteus430 sorry, i can't recall why. Consider it as a fact :) I guess it sounded weird for these times

[@tibisuperlegoarms]

​@@dunkleosteus430 It probably woke somebody up at 2:19 and he got mad

[@dd8436]

​​@@dunkleosteus430The tastes in the 1800s were very different from nowdays (maybe related to aristocratic culture?), and No.3, the most underrated ballade of our time, was quite popular back then.

[@VerumHeros]

OG's know that traum has played this piece before. But there's something more interesting about this one. He plays the climax at a steady metzoforte, not the loud torrent that most others play it at. Same can be observed for all of the "anger" moments. It feels like, to me, compressed anger, the one you can't let out.
