I’ve always thought Ballade No.1 was the best ballade until I heard Ballade No.4. And now I’m hearing Ballade No.3 and I’m convinced Chopin was a genius!
Keep at it. I started a 17 and I'm still trying rolling on 70. The wonderful thing about these pieces is that I nearly get the same "tingle" as they gave me then.
This is the only one of the ballades that doesn’t end in a depressive fit of rage. What a nice beautiful ending. Edit: Im not talking about the very ending but just the coda in general.
With all of the tragedy happening in the world, Chopin's music will always prevail. Thank you for playing this piece Traum, it has to be my favourite Ballade :)
@@bludika Yemeni people are getting bombed for example. The Palestinians and Kurds are still fighting for their freedom. There's also a war going on in Ukraine and more stuff...
This man is a legend beyond belief, he has done complete Waltz's, Etudes, and now the Ballades. And on top of that this coda is so intense and amazing @5:43 with amazing phrasing and a great interpretation of the piece in general. Traum you are truly my favorite RUclips pianist!
You forgot all the paganini-Liszt etudes, 10 out of 12 transcendental etudes, the spanish rhapsody, the sonata in b minor, the first Mephisto waltz... Traum is a fkg legend
Theory: The reason Traum wears a mask is because he doesn’t want anyone to know he’s Liszt. the reason why his repertoire is so large is because he has insane sight reading skills.
@@bibobabu8756 Haha, I failed to notice my poor phrasing. What I meant to say is that it is the most touching Balladé out of the four (for me), but I mistakenly added "One of..." at the start. P.S. Though admittedly, I sometimes like the other Balladés on different times.
The Title speaks the truth, I have been keeping my eye on this Ballade for a while, your interpretation is great, im convinced- I’ll learn it. Keep up the good work ~🥖
I ran out of superlatives some 18 months ago . If l didn't know better l'd claim you were a reincarnation of Chopin ! You playing leaves me breathless ! I 've listened to this piece many times but missed so many notes and emotions .....just so beautifully played Traum. You really are on another planet ! This is a keeper ! Thankyou .

@@SeptièmeParadis haha. What makes you thing that i am only listening to him? Just because i like his Interpretations the most, does not mean that i dont listen to others as well. It also is a question of tast, so your opinion doesnt have to be the same as mine.
Traum gets possessed by dead composers from now and then and uploads to us these gorgeous performances and interpretations of these beautiful pieces . Keep going Traum , what you do is amazing , can't wait to see more!
Thanks for giving space to all the magical moments and not rushing through it as so many others players do! And for respecting the the score. What a refreshing and sensitive performance!
I am working a night shift and have just watched this on my break. Absolutely fabulous, wonderful, timeless, superhuman music and what a brilliant performance.
He’s the man… He has played all of Chopin Sherzos, Waltzes, etudes and ballades, playing at the same time all Liszt trascendental etudes. Please give a warm welcome to Trauiman wich is about to present ballade no 3 with a night quality of sound!
This is just lovely! I am so excited for hearing the complete ballades! Few composers offered such splendid emotion in their music as Chopin. Thank you, Tarum!
just came home from a pretty hard day at work tonight, you will not believe the smile that came on my face opening youtube and seeing this. thank you :)
You finally did it, you completed the ballades. I was pretty happy since i remembered when you posted your first one and didn't know you were gonna complete all of them. Good job Traum
OMG MY FAVORITE PIANO PIECE. For sure this is the most beautiful music. I've been waiting for this. Soon I'll have a race of a championship (virtual driving). Wish me luck please. Anyway thank you for uploading Traum! :)
Chopin Ballade no. 3!! Quite a mesmerizing piece. Thanks for playing my piece I am currently practicing. Quite a big help for my rhythm. Anyway, I suggest you can complete the preludes or impromptu next. Thanks for playing Traum!
The best one to listen to while reading or chilling. Traum's performance is beautiful and intricately detailed. The dynamics and emotion can be felt through the screen and straight to your heart❤️
Hey traum ! I can’t remember exactly the amount of time I’ve asked you to play this one. It’s finally up and I’m so glad that you did it. You’re right. It’s one of the most beautiful piano pieces. Once again, you did great. And thank you
Finally, Ballade No. 3!! I'm looking forward to uploading the complete Ballades soon ❤️
Thank you!
amazing performance as always :)
I hope you upload the 4 ballads soon
❤️

No hate but no 1 still way better
@@bait5257 ever heard of the word "subjective"?
@@Guest-lm5qp ironic since it's my "subjective opinion" and you called me out for it
@@bait5257 You said "still way better", never mentioned it was your opinion or its "better for me". And I just read your channel name so goodbye.
@@Guest-lm5qp i don't need to point out "for me" it's obvious imo. It's never a fact in these matters
5:56 The section in C# minor is 🔥
Yeah 😎
And very hard to play!
Gave me the chills :)
So fkin good, just omg
5:43 to 6:12 is 🔥🔥🔥
5:55 this is such a powerful moment in the piece, love it
also 7:09
I just cannot choose a favorite ballade they’re all so amazing
For me i think the 1st they r all great, chopin was a god
me too
5:55 is the best moment on piano
Keep at it. I started a 17 and I'm still trying rolling on 70.
The wonderful thing about these pieces is that I nearly get the same "tingle" as they gave me then.
My favorite is whichever one I happen to be listening in the moment.
4
3:57 - 4:02 and 5:15 - 5:20 i am OBSSESSED with how Traum voices the left hand melody in this tiny passage, so beautiful !!!
Agreed quite beautiful
that's how it's supposed to be played
The most underrated Chopin Ballade, in my opinion. So glad you recorded it!
All 4 chopin ballades are so amazing. I always wanna pick favorites, but when i listen to a different one its so good and i just cant
imo 2nd one
@@lavatrex love that one
3 and 1 have got to be my favorite.
@@awe331 3 and 4 are my favorites
The building of the hype after 1:57 is priceless imo. And the hype definitely delivers
What about 5:44
@@bencallender5061 It feels like a continuing war, having second and even a bigger peak.
This is the only one of the ballades that doesn’t end in a depressive fit of rage. What a nice beautiful ending.
Edit: Im not talking about the very ending but just the coda in general.
the only one where the hero wins his battle
I disagree
Ballade n2 ends slowly with some melancolys cords...

Complete Scherzos too
That was similar to Liszt's La Campanella

The ending is one of Chopin’s most joyous passages - so exquisitely conceived.
that inner voice around 5:20 is such a nice surprise!
The unique "good ending" of the Ballades, and the Polonaise made a Ballade, such a beatiful ballade, CONGRATULATIONS ON FINISHING THE 4 BALLADES! 😍😍😍😍
this has the same cadence as op10 no8 etude
Ey Luis qué weno verte aquí
@@BrinaSun I just realised that, too. Makes me chuckle!
One of F. Chopin’s best pieces of music in my opinion.
Thanks for your opinion clash royale laughing emote man
I thought this beautiful piece was making me cry, but turns out, I was chopin onions.
One of the most touching Balladé out of the four in my opinion, high emphasis on the coda. I am glad we heard your stunning rendition of this piece!
Yes it is certainly in the top 4 of the ballades

7:39
Ive been waiting for this Traum! I can't wait, i'm sure it's beautiful as ever
7:09 is my favorite part. I’m learning this song and it’s my favorite one of the ballade’s. As always, Traum has the best interpretation. 😊
Your beautiful interpretation made me realized that I shouldn't have ignored that piece for 20 years...
Truly beautiful piece
