Edited and assembled from Paul's piano improvisation (aka Paul's Piano Piece) during Get Back sessions, Twickenham Studios, January 8th 1969. DDSI 8.07
With genuine respect to the other Beatles for their huge talents but honestly can anyone really seeing any of the others being able to do this. McCartney and his melodic genius is quite unique. John's lyrical genius was too something to behold in wonder. I am not saying that John couldn't write beautiful melodies, of course he could, and I am not saying that Paul could never write great lyrics, but as a overall assessment most agree that their main strengths were; McCartney with melody and John with lyrics.
I understand people who claims Paul was the best of them in terms of creating melodies, However the complexity, innovation and intuition Lennon had for melodies was unparalell. He created a song based in just one chord ¡the whole song! (tomorrow never knows), When he came up with I Am The Walrus he did just the opposite, He did a song where he played basically all notes C,D,E,F,G,A,B. and to top it up, he played in major chords haha. That was never seen before either, He was capable of creating the most beautiful and meaningful balads like Jelaus Guy, Across the Universe, Norwegian Woods, Dear Prudence, Julia, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, and at the same time, songs that were difficult to put a tag on, like Strawberry Fields Forever, Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds, I Want You, Don't Let me Down...I mean, to say Paul was better than him creating Melodies it's mad. What I see over the years it's more like there some people who identify more with Paul's melodies and others with John's. And it's also true, Paul was more talented playing instruments, better at piano, at bass, at drums. but that doesn't have anything to do to be better at melodies. I love them both, and credit both, they were the most talented guys ever to me.
How is it that this man is continuing to surprise me? That was so very beautiful and all the more impressive because it's so unexpected. His love for all genres of music results in this. He is astonishing.
This is a really lovely piece. I know that people say it's like Barber's - but it sounds nothing like it. Something dark by Bach or Beethoven, yes. Then he throws the irish reel in. Too bad people gave him so much crap for daring to go out of his lane with the Oratorio. We might have gotten more of this.
A little bit of this piece was used at the beginning of the original Let It Be film, IIRC. I did a lot of editing to make it flow like a coherent piece of music.
It reminds me slightly of the opening movement of Paul's superb classical composition 'A Leaf' from the mid-1990s. I'm referring to the 1995 version of 'A Leaf', which is piano only. The orchestrated version on Working Classical detracts from the beauty of the original composition. For anyone interested, here is a link to the superior piano version: czcams.com/video/TDNNrRAiops/video.html
Always thought his piano piece was Beethoven/ Bach, Etc... Always wanted to play piano like Paul. I'm just teaching myself (With youtube help) "Lady Madonna"

I love them both. They were/are both great .
I agree w/ Paul Simon in that McCartney is a tier above Lennon

And George with chord progressions.
What talent he is. Brilliant.
...And the music keeps flowing outta Paul's head into his fingers onto the piano; A freakin born musical genius; Period.
This coming from the guy who gave us Helter Skelter.

Now that is a piece of genius.
This is in the baroque style. Love it.
it's almost insane to think this guy didn't even know how to read music!

I love this but I also loved the Oratorio. I do think that Carl Davids though tends to be unfairly overlooked as he did write half of it.
That was great. I really loved that. Never heard any of it before.

absolutely love it,it's a thing of beauty.
Love it! 🙏So profound and soothing
Sublime.

Where can I get sheet music for that piece ?
If you listen closely you can hear part of "Fool on the Hill" in the piece
Always thought his piano piece was Beethoven/ Bach, Etc... Always wanted to play piano like Paul. I'm just teaching myself (With youtube help) "Lady Madonna"
I've been told its in the style of Bach.
Does anyone know of a sheet music transcription of this piece?
I guess AI can make you one 🙂
tabs anyone?
Paul, you buried your genius, You could've been better than Debussy
he is lol
@@polymathematics_What are you?
@@Bella-nt7ec not sure what you mean? I am a human and a fan of both Paul and Debussy!
@@polymathematics_bc you wrote "He is lol". He isn't that lol
oh you think Debussy is better than Paul? I see! I just disagree but it's subjective.@@Bella-nt7ec
I love Paul, but it seems fake
Not fake, just heavily edited.

It's not Paul playing. It's William Shepherd (Billy).
It's Paul, but he did not play it straight, I had to edit his performance to make it flow as a continuos piece.
