Finally the best pianist on RUclips getting recognition, it’s a crime how under rated he is. He’s has by far the biggest repertoire at the highest level and is a professional pianist (Sung Chang)
What i expected: a Normal piano reaktion What i recieved: Information about the size of bees and the ok to drink and drive😂 Jokes aside great video as aslways. keep it up
Finally, we recognise the best pianist on RUclips. One of the underrated pianist. I remember his la campanella 1838 original version, it was splendid to watch. He is a concert pianist and one of the best. A very good review to be honest
That is the greatest thing you could do !! I wish you could react and analyse Traum's performance of Liszt's Etude 1838 "arpeggio" and Paganini/Liszt Etude no 6. I struggle a lot to understand the rythm and to be accurate. (And maybe his amazing performance of the Mephisto Waltz too ;) All are beautiful captivating pieces you could react to :)
My piano teacher pointed out that many doctoral students at conservatories in Poland tend to play the melody slightly delayed compared to the bass notes. I've started applying it to the nocturnes I'm currently working on, and to be honest, it makes a great difference when done correctly. I'm assuming it's also a technique Traum mastered, and I really enjoy his performances. Again, thank you, Matthew, for such a great analysis!
I think perhaps he is slightly depressing some keys enough to trigger the midi tracking software but not fully enough to trigger the note to sound (or at least not sound very loudly). I think it's good for him to leave it in, it shows a level of authenticity in the performance and that even professionals hit wrong notes. As many commenters have said the level of musicality and shear volume of difficult pieces on his youtube channel is insane. His performances of Liszt and Chopin are some of my favourites.
Would love to see you make a sort of comparison between rousseau kassia and traum in a common piece they all played and give your opinion. Kassia is a very good youtuber pianist and has a lot of piano covers if you want to react to her playing aswell
Thank you for doing a video about Traum can you maybe do a video on his Scarbo by Ravel or Islamey by Balakirev that would be so fun to watch. And the video is great.
For me this is like a deja vu from like one year ago when i watched TwoSet and how they reacted to different performances of that piece on violing at TV shows 😅 Not the thing i knew i needed but couldnt cancel watching those videos.
It is! With the voicing of the chords in the prelude sometimes your right hand has a black note under the thumb with a white note in the left underneath the right hand and then they swap..which means many players will play it by swapping which hand is on top 😊
Once you pointed out those broken chords in the last piece, I couldn't unhear it, and it bothered me a bit too. Sometimes I understand, but it did feel a tad too frequent. I love these videos where you break down pieces and explain choices, dynamics, intent etc. Thanks for another good one, Matthew!
Hi guys, I'm really interested in starting to play the piano. I have one, but I don't know how to start, what songs are good to start with, or anything like that, I only know how to read sheet music because I learned it in school. Does anyone know of an app or something that would help me get started? I can't afford lessons. Thank you
I did not restore the OS only for edge and YT. something dirty is going on, while using big data arrays I found that simuktaneously running and filling a lot of memory programs crashed as if they were invading each others reserved memory space, something I do regularly and never crashed this way. Something odd is going odd in MS updates, really odd.
What different worlds we live in, You have obviously never been to the local boozer on a friday night and seen people drunk, lol most of them can't even say Rachmaninoff or get into a taxi.
probably a stylistic choice consider, he's a professional pianist but I am surprised you had much to critique, Also please review his Mehpisto waltz, it's beautiful how he plays it
8:58 you are wrong he does not play wrong keys, it's just a sensor sensitivity, so it's picking up all the ghost notes, that everybody has from time to time. So even if you see there are some extra notes or some missing, it's just because he is lazy to edit it out, like Kassia, or Roussau. But I can't hear any wrong notes, can you?
i just wanted to let you know, all the "wrong notes" on the midi aren't because he pressed the wrong notes, but because keyboards are sensitive and it shows that note being played, but because he didn't actually press the wrong note it doesn't sound wrong. he didnt edit it out.
I am, after 5h, still restoring my W10 to a previous point, after an auto update mafe RUclips videos get stuck on edge, not on chrome. Before that I recorded the Guiness record claiming Bumblebee and compared to Rousseau's, at normal and 2x speeds. It has actually been rcorded at high playing rate, Rousseau's youtube played at 1x and 2x and recorded with Audacity cannot be compared. I do not know how a digitally accelerated video looks like or if anyone can change a smartphone clock ticking speed.
Hey Matthew, I would love to see your reaction to another channel called Phyxinon and his piano covers for a rhythm game called Deemo :) Marigold, Entrance and ANiMA, would be what I consider the most difficult pieces he's played (and also his most viewed ones). Otherwise would love to hear your thoughts on his skills as a pianist :D
Sometimes, the extra notes only pop on the visualiser when he slighly touches them without properly playing them. You can see that a lot when do a lot of jumps with both hands like in TE Appassionata no 10 or Mephisto waltz. Sometimes the visualiser is more "aware" of micro movements of thrle keys next to the ones he plays. A great review overall, I absolutely love Traum's repertoire and musicality, he's in my opinion the best pianist on RUclips
What happened to the reactions to Black MIDIs? Those videos are great. I'd like you to react to The Nuker II, III and IV, they're really good songs and I know you'll like them 🥺.
Not available anymore but it used to be a program that utilizes ai and realistic bodies to create piano concerts that look surprisingly real@@matticawood
Traum is, for me, the best pianist I've found on RUclips. I do believe most of his chording is intentionally dynamic. It's a flavour to the piece as any cover should be. Also, the prescriptivists might disagree but, to any rendition of a classical piece beyond a study level these dynamics are what make a work yours as opposed to the original artists work. Essentially the why is because he can and wants to. All the greatest pianists of this generation have a signature style or dynamic when playing pieces imo.
I think you are probably right in saying he is just using some expressive freedom. I agree that every pianist should have that freedom to interpret the piece how they want to (although I know a lot of musicians that will disagree with that). However, I do think if you are going to make choices that change the music rather than interpret the music…then there needs to be some idea that will justify that decision 😊
Spreading chords is when you play a chord with the notes slightly separated one after another rather than playing all the notes at exactly the same time 😊
Now check Cyprien Katsaris playing Georgy Cziffra's 3-minute unpublished Bumblebee edition live in front of Georgy himself ruclips.net/video/d-v1PKd7QhM/видео.html
Could you please react to Lyonel yu pieces? Just in case, I would suggest you to listen to "Fires of a Revolution" and "Rolling Thunder". Thank you in advance, even if you decide not to do it ❤
Can we stop celebrating garbage renditions of music. Bumblebee is barely enjoyable at regular speed. These records are trash to listen to and prove nothing. Even kavakos is impressive but far from a pleasurable musical experience
Are you talkint about all of these. because if yes i cant agree everyone has a different way of interprating so nothing in music when learnt and inteprented (even if its not the usual way) its still nice to hear that. I dont like Lang Lang but its my opinion and you have your opinion so dont be that guy by telling something is garbage by not listening to atleast like 50 videos i am sure you will find something for you i found that i like one Lang Lang interpret and nothing else.

Traum is a professional

From what I saw in this video, I had no doubt that he has a pretty impressive repertoire! Il definitely have to check out more! 😊
8:46 Drunk driving is officialy legal, thanks Mat!
What i expected:
a Normal piano reaktion
What i recieved:
Information about the size of bees and the ok to drink and drive😂
Jokes aside great video as aslways. keep it up
What I intended to make:
A normal piano reaction
What I made:
A video filled with important facts and driving advice 😉
Yes! More Traum 🎩
Finally, we recognise the best pianist on RUclips. One of the underrated pianist. I remember his la campanella 1838 original version, it was splendid to watch. He is a concert pianist and one of the best. A very good review to be honest
How he is able to do all of this is because he is a famous concert pianist, Sung Chang.
…and a lot of practice! 🎹
So is Traum really Sung Chang💀?
@@YihaoChen-db4yy Yes, he did a face reveal?
@@matticawood Of course💯
Look who I found...
traum is an insane player
this one video of someone reacting to traum is reason enough for me to subscribe
That is the greatest thing you could do !! I wish you could react and analyse Traum's performance of Liszt's Etude 1838 "arpeggio" and Paganini/Liszt Etude no 6. I struggle a lot to understand the rythm and to be accurate. (And maybe his amazing performance of the Mephisto Waltz too ;)

Please react to more Traum! He’s such an epic pianist :)

new upload less goo
Thank you for doing a video about Traum can you maybe do a video on his Scarbo by Ravel or Islamey by Balakirev that would be so fun to watch. And the video is great.
Sure, il check them out! 😊
The Timer on his phone proves that it's not sped up or edited
i dont think traum faked it, but i will admit it is REALLY easy to fake that
@@jordans415 But you would increase the pitch, so it would no longermatch the keys
I like your videos very much, thanks
Thanks Matthew

Drinking abilities is wild🤪
Everyone has a skill! 😉
@@matticawood 🤣🤣🤣🤣
MY FAVORITE CLASSICAL PIANIST
React to New York State of mind live. Billy Joel goes crazy on the piano
"If you can play it slowly you can play it quickly"
absolutely love truam, i have been watching for years
About the speed, would it not be fairly easy to check the increased frequency of a known key ?
Haven't seen anyone play with thumbs crossed over each other (example 9:31). Is that a legitimate fingering style?
It is! With the voicing of the chords in the prelude sometimes your right hand has a black note under the thumb with a white note in the left underneath the right hand and then they swap..which means many players will play it by swapping which hand is on top 😊
1:19 the same thing applies for gaming
The term for that in computer mice ia debounce time
You can't click super fast on all mice
Once you pointed out those broken chords in the last piece, I couldn't unhear it, and it bothered me a bit too. Sometimes I understand, but it did feel a tad too frequent. I love these videos where you break down pieces and explain choices, dynamics, intent etc.
Thanks for another good one, Matthew!
I couldn’t unhear it myself once I’d noticed it 😂
Thank you, I’m glad you like these types of videos 😊
You advocating for drunk driving 8:57 😭
My bad…😏
(Obviously don’t go and do that though 😂)
nice!!

Love the T-shirt
I would love to see you review Gould... 😀
I love your reactions. Please give more opinions on RUclips pianists
Thanks! I will do my best! 😊

It shouldn’t be sped up because in the normal one he didn’t use α phones
If yuju wang can play bumblee in octaves than I think it's prefectly reasonable to assume he can play it that fast
After his face reveal, it ended up being saying that he's Sung Chang, an incredibly talented pianist...
You should react to" your lie in April", piano animations are the best there
What different worlds we live in, You have obviously never been to the local boozer on a friday night and seen people drunk, lol most of them can't even say Rachmaninoff or get into a taxi.
I didn’t know you’d seen me down the local 😂

I didn’t 😊 it sounded very good and very musical!
They can be silenced though
@@publiovirgilio2238I believe traum records live audio, so individual notes cannot be silenced
@@publiovirgilio2238I think if he bothered to edit out the extra notes in the recording, he would have edited the visualization as well.
For the next pianist to review, I recommend Hayato Sumino, aka "Cateen"
i just wanted to let you know, all the "wrong notes" on the midi aren't because he pressed the wrong notes, but because keyboards are sensitive and it shows that note being played, but because he didn't actually press the wrong note it doesn't sound wrong. he didnt edit it out.

Can you react to Traum Mephisto Waltz?
Man, this guys tempo is out of control 😅
Cop: take this breathalyzer
Trauma: no, let me just grab my piano
Sometimes, the extra notes only pop on the visualiser when he slighly touches them without properly playing them. You can see that a lot when do a lot of jumps with both hands like in TE Appassionata no 10 or Mephisto waltz. Sometimes the visualiser is more "aware" of micro movements of thrle keys next to the ones he plays.
A great review overall, I absolutely love Traum's repertoire and musicality, he's in my opinion the best pianist on RUclips
If you look at it carefully it’s basically scales and chords, so just play slow for accuracy and then go faster
What about playing like Yuga Wang plays it. In octaves. That's an impressive listen to. Speed is one thing, but play it like she does in Octaves.
They're not only octaves, they're chords. That version is a transcription by Cziffra.
What happened to the reactions to Black MIDIs? Those videos are great. I'd like you to react to The Nuker II, III and IV, they're really good songs and I know you'll like them 🥺.
I have questioned this before...concert creator?
@@pianopressofficial Google Sung Chang he is Traum and no it isnt concert creator it sounds awful with concert creator
What is concert creator? 😊
@@matticawoodconcert creator ai. its not available anymore. sung changs hands look nothing like ai 🤦♀️
Not available anymore but it used to be a program that utilizes ai and realistic bodies to create piano concerts that look surprisingly real@@matticawood

Lol no it's a meme. Can't believe people still haven't heard that.
first
I guess the true limiting factor is not the human, but the song quality. Yes it’s super fast, but it sounds horrible at this speed.
Can we stop celebrating garbage renditions of music. Bumblebee is barely enjoyable at regular speed. These records are trash to listen to and prove nothing. Even kavakos is impressive but far from a pleasurable musical experience
