He says he's posting videos of *himself* playing the piece, which means he owns ...

Yes, exactly -- so the only copyright to speak of is the performance, which is owned by him.

Yes, so the "work" as far as copyright is concerned is the performance. The "work" is entirely his own.

And how does that make "this is my work" the least true option?

Since this was the reply, which explains how "this is my work" is the most true option, I'm not sure why you feel the need to post your question. Both sides have been explained and you can decide on your own.

Obviously this was a typo, probably meant to be "least untrue".

Yes, I meant to write “least untrue” just the same as the original poster.
