@@derby2510 Hi. C est vraiment tres gentil à vous de me demander ceci. J ai bien l'enregistrement du concert public donne au Conservatoire de Lyon. Il est trop volumineux pour passer par ici !

@@derby2510 You are very kind to ask me this. I have the recording of the public concert at the Conservatoire de Lyon. It is too large to pass through here! I can send it to you by wetransfert if you are so kind as to entrust your email to me. With my best regards, Marc. marcblandel4@gmail.com
listening to you speak reminds me of being in school again but with the teachers and professors who I knew had something truly important to say, thanks again, Paul.
Not so hard to work out how to practice tremolos, but i'm trying to find out how to practice the right hand at the first part of the left hand tremolos, up to speed without misfiring!
Paul, this is an epic gift of love to all piano students who have struggled to “get inside” this piece. If Beethoven is watching, I’m sure he is smiling. Thank you so so much! ❤
What a tutorial! I especially like the video quality here. I actually call Paul Barton my teacher because he explains each and every piece very methodically and practically. The first movement of this sonata is filled with fast left hand tremolos and extensions which may act as an obstruction. But this tutorial just changes it and makes it a lot easier to understand as well as play it. Thank you so much for this tutorial, Paul 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am sure Beethoven would be happy while listening to your performance and your tutorial in heaven! 🎂Happy Birthday🎂 to one of the greatest composers of western classical music! Regards from India
Thank you so much! I *love* the sonority of your piano, it is so warm and rich. The slow and long-held chords at the opening and throughout this movement are pure ecstasy to listen to -- they start out a bit percussive but then we can hear how they smooth out to a perfectly tuned trio of notes. Wonderful! The piano seems Just tuned in this key. I hear no beats as the chord settles down. The high A mid bar 4 is just so nice! This piano is gorgeous, and your tuner has created perfection with it! Just wonderful!
I need this in my life. Thank you for this tutorial; I am most used to hearing works and transcribing them from memory in my head, so I love this video. Thank you! :)
I just have to say this video is so well made! You go into a lot of detail, give great tips, and I love the bit of historical contextualization at the beginning. Brilliant! 👍 😆
Thank you Paul for this wonderful tutorial. I am working on the third movement at the moment. Looking forward to your tutorial on this!! I’m having trouble with pedalling as my teacher went on summer holidays
This was an exceptional tutorial for the 1st Movement of the Pathetique. I have been studying this sonata and found this to be very instructional. Thanks for taking the time to do this Paul.
I am learning this piece, Wish me luck to play like Mr Barton! I really was interested with a rather light play of the overall music. Maybe because I heard too much from certain pianists. But I really like the style. I envy you Mr. Barton.
I very much appreciate and enjoy your videos. They are very inspirational to me personally. I am an adult with just three years into learning the piano. I do not have the chops to play something like this, but it has become a personal goal of mine to learn and grow at the piano. Your recent videos of the Bach little preludes prompted me to start working on some of those pieces. Hopefully some day I will have learned enough to take a crack at something as grand (and challenging) as this. If and when that day comes, I will use this video as a reference! Another thing this video underscores for me... I need a teacher!!!
The best piano lesson I’ve ever seen online. Perfect now that we are in quarentine and I can’t take my regular piano lessons with my teacher. Only one question. What app do you use as the sheet music that changes and updates as long as you are playing. That’s amazing, modern, and super useful. Please let me know if you read this Paul. Thank you, and congratulations!
The nickname "pathetic" was actually given by Beethoven (see "Ludwig van Beethoven" by Jean and Brigitte Massin). The editor added "grande sonate". It was the only one given by the composer, in addition to op81 "lebewhol" where he named the different parts (and if you do not consider Hammerklavier as a nickname)
Mr. Paul Barton, it would be possible for you to do a tutorial on how to correctly play Etude number 3 of Op.756 by Carl Czerny, especially the second and third page and also the etude number 10, please
Hi Paul - do you mind sharing details of the tablet/screen device you're using? I've been trying to find a true A4 or larger screen for my piano for some time.
Thank you, Paul. Your edition is different from urtext. I am finding the pedal markings helpful, but will use the dynamics from Henle (which includes no pedal suggestions).
There's a comment on here saying about reminding them of teachers at school with the way he speaks.... I agree, the pauses make us pay attention to what he's saying, can't fault it at all. Wouldn't describe as robotic tho
I've a question- in the allegro section the crescendo after the Cm chord why do you play G-D-F-G when it's G-B-F-G? Am I making a mistake while playing? I revisited the score and it's the latter one, I need to know!
Me watching this at 2 am in bed and hoping my fingers will magically learn the piece itself
you actually improve your skills by only playing it in your head or even watch a video of it
Moi aussi !
@@MrSaccharose I believe this too. It’s neat
Só dreaming lol 😂😂😂
Ya we can play it one day 😜
the best CZcams pianist
May be in the world
HOW ABOUT THE FLAMING PIANO?????!!!!! 😳
SOsunshine
Nope, not even close
Aue zabivan
But yeah I disagree with that
That is a fact

Can we hear your piece
11:32 is the part we were all waiting for
This is why I came here!
Indeed!
listening to you speak reminds me of being in school again but with the teachers and professors who I knew had something truly important to say, thanks again, Paul.
This man has taught me so much lmaoooo I should probably be paying for lessons at this point 😭
For anyone curious, the tutorial starts at 6:45, but I highly recommend watching the bits before. It's actually really interesting.
yoza
That far into the video

I appreciate how much time and effort you put into these!
I love your attention to detail in the score, and watching you play with such economy of motion is always a pleasure!
like this edition, crystal clear every part
Your technique is phenomenal. Thank you for posting this.
I couldn’t stop watching... brought tears to my eyes... Bravo! Bravo!
I really hope you end up making tutorials for others like this. This was very enjoyable to listen to, how all the parts break down.

Self-taught pianist here. I'm currently polishing up the first movement. This tutorial has been very helpful. Thanks a bunch.
How is it going?
I'm self-taught too, and learning this first movement right now :)
Omgoodness thank you for this tutorial! I have set myself the challenge of learning this sonata during Britain’s lock down.
What a wonderful teacher !!
indeed!
I need this in my life. Thank you for this tutorial; I am most used to hearing works and transcribing them from memory in my head, so I love this video. Thank you! :)
All the aspiring pianist loves you. Thanks Paul Barton! Greetings from New South Wales

Thank you Paul for this wonderful tutorial. I am working on the third movement at the moment. Looking forward to your tutorial on this!! I’m having trouble with pedalling as my teacher went on summer holidays
Thank you very much for this video, I am 60 and I restarted playing piano. This is one of my challenges!
Cheers from Germany
I love pathetique. Some day i wish i play this perfectly. Thank you Paul♥♥♥
Thank you for the tutorial, I'm sure it'll be of great help for me.
I just finished leading the 3 movement. I love this one! It's so beautiful. This piece is one of the most unique pieces in classical music
This was an exceptional tutorial for the 1st Movement of the Pathetique. I have been studying this sonata and found this to be very instructional. Thanks for taking the time to do this Paul.
Gracias! Para mi fue bastante ayuda! Continúa ahí para nosotros aprendices! Gracias otra vez, y Bravo profesor!
I am learning this piece, Wish me luck to play like Mr Barton!
I really was interested with a rather light play of the overall music. Maybe because I heard too much from certain pianists. But I really like the style. I envy you Mr. Barton.
Sensational. I’ll watch it hundred times during my practice :-)
This is the best and most complete tutorial you can watch and learn from all youtube
Excellent instruction, Thanks Paul.
So clear and helpful. I am learning a simpler version but very helpful in showing how it should sound. Thank you.
Thank you for this great tutorial, I was learning this piece a few years ago but never really mastered it. I'll try once more using this method.
Wow...amazing, I never thought of practising in this way. It helped me to overcome those difficulties a lot. Thanks
thank you very much! it's very interesting and helpful!
thanx Mr. Barton....an excellent tutorial as you are in the habit of producing!!!
Fascinating to watch and see the music! Thank you, sir!
You play beautifully.
Thank you for our privilege of listen to you explanation and brilliant playing

Loved it, keep up the great teaching work!
Really perfect lesson thank you for your everything🙏🙏
You’re very brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻

I am going to play this piece sometime in the future and will come back to this video- Thank you, Paul
What a wealth of information this video is
A remarkable interpretation.
Great tutorial sir!
Excelente Maestro...!!!
Muchas gracias por el video...!!!
Excelente...!!!
Fantastic. I can't help hearing this without picturing Rowan Atkinson playing it though :)
Mike Rolls: I favor Paul!
It was really helpful
Thank you so much ❤️
all of that helped me ALOT! thanks!
Toda mi admiración para Ud. Sr.
Just so helpful and exact- more than Thankyou
Thank you very much!
Mr. Paul, I send you my best wishes and respect.💯👋👋👋

Yes I noticed that too! Need to find one of those.
It’s almost certainly editing… not an app
It’s probably a pedal connected to the tablet! At least that’s my guess.
Sublime Piano é celestial.
Uma honra ter noção pianística , uma noção gigante de técnicas, tanto física e intelectual é maravilhoso, um amor eterno.
So inspiring! It makes me want to dust off my copy and try to perfect it. Thank you Paul!
Thank you!
Awesome! Sad to just found this channel now. Thanks.
This tutorial is fire too🔥
Amazing, appreciate it!
One day I"ll play it !!!!!! Thanks a lot Paul
Start today!
@@hannesc.9823 Sorry Thanks to you Hannes C.
Wooow great tutorial
Very useful!
Thank you for helping me.
Me encanta!!! 😃 Buen maestro 👍
Thank you very much.
Bravo!
Excellent!
I wonder what the elephants would think of this one. This and Waldstien sonata are my favourite pieces. Good work, Paul!
Fantástico!
🎶🎹 EXCELLENT
Justo estoy viendo este video para ver tips antes de mi recital con esta obra
thamk you so much!!
Thank you very much for your lesson. I think it very helpful. Can you please do a lesson on Tempest too?

Very nice. Thanks. Is there any tutorial on how to play Hallelujah chorus ✝🙏
Hi Paul - do you mind sharing details of the tablet/screen device you're using? I've been trying to find a true A4 or larger screen for my piano for some time.
Thank you very much, Paul! I already know the second movement, but I really do need help with the first movement. Once again, thank you very much!
Christian Vennemann me too, the chords in the first movement are so hard! (First page)
Спасибо вам большое. Вы нам очень помогаете. Ученики муз школы
OM SHANTI. SPASIBO
Sinseramente eres mi maestro 😅😅 Feurich pianist
Very clear.!!
A really piano gentleman!!!
Maestro.
You are probably a genius at piano (*teaching piano*) 😱
Thank you, Paul. Your edition is different from urtext. I am finding the pedal markings helpful, but will use the dynamics from Henle (which includes no pedal suggestions).
Amo teu CANAL. Parabéns’ 🙏🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷

Perhaps he has a speech impediment
We are many with limited English language ... Could you put the subtitle option, please?
I've a question- in the allegro section the crescendo after the Cm chord why do you play G-D-F-G when it's G-B-F-G? Am I making a mistake while playing? I revisited the score and it's the latter one, I need to know!
