@@ckchang-wg2lw well you’re right most pieces only go as large as a tenth and it’s extremely rare to see bigger because it’s just not realistic for most people. The largest interval I have ever seen asked to be played straight on is an 11th (Eb to Ab).
@@ckchang-wg2lw it was a joke but rachmaninoff's pieces make you stretch extraordinary lengths. What you may find difficult, he may find easy because his hand can do a 13th.

I feel like Traum is much more free in his playing compared to other synthesia pianists. His dynamics are very well expressed, I can actually hear a difference between Forte and Fortissimo. His rubato is really great as well. There isn't a sense of compactness in his playing. It doesn't feel like his playing is being held back. He might actually be a professional concert pianist.

Not gonna lie, I've been waiting for this, and it was definitely worth the wait. I legitimately got proper goosebumps around 1:30. You're just on another level in terms of musicality.
Beautiful rendition, I am also a classically trained pianist and I know how hard it is to play this masterpiece. You nailed it and your interpretation was heartfelt and full of technique at the same time! ❤
Your interpretation is really, really good. It builds up a lot better than most recordings(the lack of pedal in the start an the addition of pedalling builds it up a lot more than just simply pedalling) and your ability to express the inner voices is amazing. All I can say is that you are most definately better than Rousseau or kassia, so keep up the good work!
If you want me to be completely honest, this is probably on of the best performances of this piece in RUclips up these with the likes of Moiseiwitch, Horowitz, and Gilles.
Yeah I'd say the prelude in C# minor is the most popular Rachmaninoff piece, but this piece in its entirety is really the quintessential Rachmaninoff piece.
Kassia: Upload this for a 600K subs special video. Traum: Upload this in a random day. Your performance is really good, and this piece is difficult. You did great job :)
Rachmaninoff be like: **Imma make all the Russians proud and make a hard core Russian piece. I don’t care if they can play it. I’m an absolute genius!**
Outstanding playing......so many textures, colours, wonderful articulation. The voicing, reverie AND passion in the middle section. Magnificent! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great job traum, that way you play at the begging making it sound like a march truly shows the power of Rachmaninoff piano pieces. You did a great job especially on section b in d major you made it sound so magical FANTASTIC JOB.
It's really cool to see 2 interpretations of this song in 1 week by two great pianists (Kassia and Traum). Both are great and i appreciate how each performer makes his/hers own style to it!
You have quickly become my favorite pianist on youtube by FAR. All of your performances are completely stunning and perfect in every way possible. I'm a sap, so I cry to beautiful music sometimes, and I find myself crying to a lot of your performances. If I can request a piece, could you do Liebesfrued or "Love's Joy" by Kreisler//Rachmaninoff? Or maye Rachmaninoff's Little red riding hood (op 39 no 6). Wish you the best, you truly deserve it. Can't wait to see you at a million subscribers.
I wonder if you will play Rach’s Moment musicaux no.4, i’d love to see how you would interpret it My favs are Lugansky and Kassia’s Interpretation Stay safe and amazing playing as always
I learned this piece as a self taught pianist, of course it is not perfect and it doesn’t sound really good but I’m getting a teacher so I perfection it because I love it a lot and I want to be able to play beautifully soon ❤️
@@ClassikalBoi I’m quite sure I remember something significant about this piece... a connection? I don’t know how that’s possible though... I just can’t put my finger on what it is, and why is my name used in the title?
I think I know who you are, your playing was in a commercial a few years back. You were the few pianists that inspired me. I might be wrong, but if I am right, I won't reveal your identity 😉
The main thing Rousseau have that makes him nice is clean effects and tone. Of course he may be not the most skillfull, or emotional, but his tone makes up for that alot and thats why i usually listen more to his than others, but his repertoire is quite small so obviously i have to find new pieces from others.
@@RodgerFan-k2b Rousseau was obviously the first person to do this with classical music and the quality of his videos in terms of visuals has been way ahead of everyone else for a long time (though kassia started catching up). In terms of tone, well...go listen to SameLicc's nocturne in e minor if you think Rousseau's or Kassia's piano sounds better.

I like the "Russian" vibes here. Epic, and colorful too!
Are u gonna do this?
@@xiguan5156 When I feel like it, but not anytime soon
I mean.. the composer is Russian 😂
Rachmaninoff didn't realize that not everyone could do a thirteenth on the piano.
When does it reach a thirteenth?
@Tzu-Chi Huang actually, I think Rachmaninov COULD do a thirteen but Idk if this piece has a tirtheen
I thought piano pieces have a 10th at most.. I guess I’m wrong

OW-
Change to "WERE" stronger. He died in 1943.
Respectfully
Some things in this interpretation surprised me a bit compared to how most play, but I enjoyed it a lot! Nice work.
In all his performances, Traum has this ability to bring out hidden musical lines that I’ve never heard before...
Beautiful rendition, I am also a classically trained pianist and I know how hard it is to play this masterpiece. You nailed it and your interpretation was heartfelt and full of technique at the same time! ❤

He does play me quite well... that sounds strange
If you want me to be completely honest, this is probably on of the best performances of this piece in RUclips up these with the likes of Moiseiwitch, Horowitz, and Gilles.
The counterpoint in the middle section is maybe my favorite single thing in all of classical music, so beautiful.
its gorgeous isn't it?
Yes it's truly amazing. In classical music do you know if that section of the piece is called something particular?
The most "Rachmaninoff" sounding piece🤣
Yeah I'd say the prelude in C# minor is the most popular Rachmaninoff piece, but this piece in its entirety is really the quintessential Rachmaninoff piece.
A.k.a. russian
Lol
Not at all. Indeed," Rachmaninoff music " can be called Piano Sonata No. 2 or Trio élégiaque n°2 Op. 9, for example.
I think that his piano concertos are most Rachmaninoff sounding pieces. ☺
surprised he didn’t drink vodka while playing
🤣
his LFTs are still deranged from the last russian piece
Kassia: Upload this for a 600K subs special video.
Traum: Upload this in a random day.
Your performance is really good, and this piece is difficult. You did great job :)
So what’s your point? They both did good it doesn’t matter for what reason they posted the video.
@@RinaHoti I know, but Traum published like a normal piece, without difficulty

Bruh

this piece is such an earworm, rachmaninoff just had so much drama in his compositions, literally amazing!
I love this piece and in one week, we got it from Kassia and then you. Thanks Traum! Continue playing like Sung Chang ;)
Awww ... that extra left hand voice in the middle part, amazing!
And I love the short pause before the last note.
Brilliant as always, Traum!
I'm learning this piece right now! :)
the transition to the second theme is bloody amazing. Rachmaninov was a genius for sure
I like those jumps, sounds so good! Amazing playing Traum!
Your rubato is perfect, especially at 3:21 that's so satisfying to listen to. Probably my favourite performance of this piece!
Thanks Traum.
I've been looking forward to this piece.
Wonderful!!!
You bring new voices to this piece, notes that i haven't heard when i have listened someone else play it. Great work, beautiful and sharp sounds.
This is what I'm waiting for Traum. LOVE IT! Thank You, One of my favorite Rachmaninoff's compositions
Rachmaninoff be like: **Imma make all the Russians proud and make a hard core Russian piece. I don’t care if they can play it. I’m an absolute genius!**
ok
You have my thought process spot on
Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff Hahahaha thanks Rachmaninoff. I like your Piano Concertos.
Finally on the 6th try I'm hearing someone play this piece with the requisite power, aggressiveness, and brilliance. Superb performance.
Thank you for playing this one! It's one of my favorites! And you played it wonderfully!
Thats beautiful traum, thx for this awesome moment
Outstanding playing......so many textures, colours, wonderful articulation. The voicing, reverie AND passion in the middle section. Magnificent! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you! Amazing performance as always
This is the best voicing I’ve ever heard on this prelude.

本当に何でも今に繋がっている。私がピアノを辞めないのは、やはりピアノ気狂いからです。ピアノを弾くことだけが私の生き甲斐です。ハノンは近所の人が嫌がるのでこの頃は弾けませんが、この頃、うちね近辺では本当にピアノを弾く人がいなくなって、寂しいです。
Thank you Traum!

Rousseau and Kassia stick to the classics and have generally higher quality sounding keyboards, but these pianists may be better players
