Bach/Hess - Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring - PIANO LESSON

[@rozconniwestsand7841]

He is teaching this exactly the way I learned it in 1963, same arrangement by Dame Myra Hess. Her weekly radio broadcasts on Wednesdays at noon were not to be missed and a wonderful tool as well.

The more learn about Paul Barton, the more impressed with his professional stature as a CONCERT PIANIST! A TRUE PROFESSIONAL.!!!!

[@geraldscott6042]

And wonderful painter and sculptor and more, I'm sure. A truly remarkable man.

[@jaydrfish]

Like everyone else, I am extremely grateful for your patient, helpful, creative instruction, Paul. I play this on guitar, and with your help, it's coming along! Bless you!

[@romee-elise]

Thank you Paul for this wonderful video. It is amazing to listen to the explanations of this beautiful piece on Palm Sunday. Love it. Praise and glory to God.

[@tanja8907]

You are an incredible man Paul. Thank you for all that you do and your work for the elephants.

[@Оля-ч8с9р]

I would listen to this music forever! Thank you, Paul, so so much for this lesson.

[@Daniel32396]

I had no idea what "voicing" was until I watched this video. This has opened up a whole new world for me.

[@michaelsmith697]

This piece is actually harder to play well then it looks! A great tutorial Paul! Thank you. 😊

[@qantasCapt]

Now you've inspired me to get away from here and sit down at the piano. Really nice, clear shots of the keyboard and fingering, too. Thank you for taking the time in giving a great tutorial!

[@NinoNiemanThe1st]

Fabulous instructions to this beautiful arrangement. Thanks especially for the tip on splitting the octaves with the bracketed keys (at 7:48) as this was not obvious from the score. I also really liked the tip on bringing out the voice by playing the accompaniement light staccato, with the melody accentuated and legator. Very difficult, but a great technique to practice this critical aspect of making the piece come alive with a clearly articulated melody: just like Bach did with the voices. The whole video was like having an expert piano teacher session - thanks again Paul.

[@maggiezhao9056]

Nino Nieman I know ,right? Wonderful

[@carstencording9322]

wow, how full of insights, what a great demonstration of how to do the voicing, you have really given me a completely new turn on how to try to play this wonderful piece. I love your version.

[@digibrain110]

Thank you, Paul for this very detailed explanation and beautiful performance. I will use it to try to play this piece.

[@Juustja]

Once I learned Jesu Joy with quatre-mains. I recognize a lot of the tips given in this video, especially about the melody lines. I consider to learn the solo version of Myra Hess, but I think it's hard to switch to a new fingering. Thanks for this video anyway, it was a pleasure to watch it.

[@janiceking9518]

Thanks so much Paul, your video was helpful to me as i revisit the piano after many years absence. It pleased me greatly to hear you say you find it difficult! I have read elsewhere that it is not so hard. Your playing is beautiful! I am heartened by your comments and tips and will press on with it as it is my favourite Bach piece of all time.

[@furric]

Hello Mr. Barton, thanks for your invaluable work which is always a great source of inspiration. It has really helped me improve in a lot of ways. I hope you keep posting these lessons. Regards!

[@ivannvillanueva6294]

Thanks for sharing your talent. Quite a gift showing us the finner details of playing this beautiful and difficult piece.

[@robinnelsonwicks4062]

Terrific lesson. Thanks for sharing your skill of craft and knowledge. Stay healthy. Peace.

[@davidschestenger3366]

I’m studying this beautiful work of art, in guitar from a long time, I have the technique of it, not the musicality of it, and your explanation mr Barton is wonderful and wil try to apply it to my guitar, I’m totally addicted and seduce by my guitar, and LOVE Bach music, hope will be able to play what I have in mind Thank you MR Barton

[@bobflannagan7262]

My dear Paul, that was beautiful. Thank you. Your attempt succeeded.

[@marcohenriquedearaujocesar9394]

Thanks vary much Mr. Barton.

[@skyclimber3934]

Excellent tutorial video w/ history, clear and concise by a true pro Paul Barton. Great piano versions on U-Tube include Myrna Hess, Paul Barton and Alon Goldstein. Mucho gracias for sharing Paul Barton you do Myrna Hess proud!

[@ukaszk.8305]

Clear, to the point, very practical/practicable education, offered for free to the world. Thank you.

[@bernardinolo1110]

Thank you so much for the insight Paul. I'd never imagined this piece is so difficult technically especially the voicing. I'm determined to work on it and I'm sure if I manage to do it right it will be a big step forward for me in becoming a better pianist. Cheers!

[@priscillamohl1338]

Thanks for the instructions for my favourite music by my favourite composer! I’ll remember your advice as I play this piece.

[@adrianehm]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for your lesson. I really enjoyed learning this song. It is now my favourite piece for piano.

[@OPianoeoMundo]

Paul, lindo arranjo de Myra Hess. Parabéns pela interpretação.

[@alexarcadia7289]

Well done and beautifully played. Now I've certainly got this one cued up to learn and play.

Sempre gostei de vc Paul, incrivel a sua tecnica impecavel e seu trabalho com os animais. seu super fã do Brasil

[@kimonosoft]

Many thanks. Very nice,light, luminous playing. Very instructives advices and demonstrations. I've no fingered edition but due to you, it's possible to find the best way to play this wonderfull piece of Bach/ Hess music !

[@maggiezhao9056]

[@zee7333]

Great tutorial!! Thank you for bringing awareness of the technical aspect of this arrangement. I certainly learned something new. Thank you great job!!😃

[@goji5887]

This fabulously in-depth video made me realize I am not yet ready for this kind of intricate technical piece, haha. You're right, it _seems_ a lot easier at first than it actually is.

[@LT-ck2rm]

Dear Paul, I wanted infinitely grateful for this tutorial and great skill in teaching and expolicar I to been of enormous utility and sincerely appreciates your time spent here in teaching.How I wish I could see this same way to explain and teach the melody of BWV 578 !!! It would be the miracle of 2015.¡Muchas thanks for your time and I join your channel !!! Greetings from Argentina.

[@ibunkatraining]

Thank you very much. Very insightful. I just started with the piano and this is inspiring. Also like the little groovy accent at 18:31. Thanks to you and Feurich for putting these together. Also the exercise at the beginning is helpful to work on weaving the melody through the fingers when playing multiple keys.

[@АркадийУстинов-ц6и]

Огромное спасибо за урок!!! Мне все понятно. Все просто и гениально.❤.

[@steefdroid]

Awesome video, great context and explanations. Thanks

[@mentuemhet]

You doing this one too, huh? Me too. I replied to your text because it's the youngest here :) I already finished it, but I haven't played it yet without making a single mistake. It sucks.

[@MarziaGaggioliOfficial]

Thanks for this video dear Paul! Amazing work!

[@9freesolo]

Excellent teaching!

[@gloriajungsunhwang9935]

This is amazing lesson for this piece. Helped a lot!

[@tanja8907]

You should check Paul out playing to the elephants. Its purely beautiful.

[@Braxium1]

I used to join some of the higher notes played by his left hand with my right hand instead and it kind of worked for me in most of these situations will that hinder my flow if I play in the exact original speed (I usually play somewhat slower than it is in the video but not that much)

[@DaraM73]

Great video, thank you

[@andrenotter]

Danke Paul ich hab das Lied gelernt es ist wunderschön

[@Genevieve8002]

I recently passed my grade 1 piano exam, and I’m learning a more simplified arrangement of this piece. It’s not easy, though there is a simplicity to how it sounds. It’s beautiful though. 😊

[@mattbod]

I have the Hess version and there are a lot of optional grace notes in it which tend to confuse a hack like me but it is lovely.

[@Braxium1]

+mattbod yeah they were really confusing at the first look

[@fdsdh1]

+mattbod yeah I don't get how some of them are meant to work anyway, unless you have basketball player sized hands the smaller notes which the score says are not meant to be played really confuse me

[@Braxium1]

fdsdh1 afaik there is an option to play the grace notes with arpeggiatos (Hess probably did so herself ) but I prefer playing the ones I can play simultaneously and skip the ones I can't play simultaneously myself

[@arthursolesse9746]

Could you possibly take a scan of each pages scores for me please? It is truly a beautiful piece I would love To have and play.

[@blessinginfinity]

i would love that you create a video containing all the stages to becoming a professional pianist like you ars sir.

[@andrewwatson3732]

Thank you for the lesson - very inspirational. Great idea to practice the inner voices staccato. I recognised you in the video from one I saw a long time ago in which you were explaining the Feurich Harmonic Pedal - I was recording some music in Vienna on a Wendl-Leung or Feurich piano which had such a pedal and I couldn't figure out exactly what it was doing, so thanks for explaining it!

[@ElenaYusupova8]

Glory to You, Lord Jesus Christ!

[@charlottemarceau8062]

Lovely (and helpful!) X

[@michaeltraub3614]

The difficulty throughout is that the triplets are not pianistic and require awkward fingering. Hence pedal throughout to cover gaps in the finger legato. I am surprised he does not mention this. There is also a 2 piano arrangement published by Oxford but my copy does not identify the arranger - possibly Hess herself.

[@Gorboror]

I have a question @ 7:41, Mr. Barton. What is your reasoning behind playing the optional notes? I'm very confused, because as the song is written, shouldn't all three notes be played simultaneously? Does the chord

[@alejandro.alvarez.musico]

Myra Hess plays it in that way :)

[@billligon4005]

Please give us a lesson on playing O Fortuna from Carl Orff’s Camina Burana? Thanks.

[@MrCarpelan]

5:35 How can the notes sound different when you're pressing the same keys?

[@jose4877]

Each time he is choosing a single key out of the group and pressing that chosen key MUCH harder than the other ones in the group. He is changing the chosen key each time.

[@nopriors]

So the pedal is used throughout not as it is written in the Myra Hess version which I have obtained. Thank you Paul.

[@metteholm4833]

A good Feurich grand gives you silk, velvet - and power to work with.

[@nopriors]

What is meant by " with resonance position of the 4th harmonic pedal"? This lesson is so inspiring Paul. Peace

[@prinsallan]

17.06 Amazing. I will never be able to do this. ^^

[@LawrenceSolon]

Inspiring and informative as usual.

[@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy]

Great lesson and thank you for providing it. However, I wish you had more clearly explained that you're playing different fingers of the same hand at different velocities/intensities to accentuate the main melody line. You simply showed the exercise without explaining it.

Hello, Mr. Barton. I just came across this after watching Angela Hewitt playing it. I love your humble and clear explanation/demonstration thoroughly enjoyed listening to you in the end. May I kindly ask you what grade level shall I be to be able to learn this piece? Thank you again for this

[@gomagoma313]

I play this piece but in Kempff's version. What's the difference?

[@maggiezhao9056]

You obviously aren’t a mucisan

[@chrrev1]

Excellent video, thank you for that Paul. I was wondering if there is any difference in the original 9/8 and 3/4 time signatures with the arrangement’s only 3/4... I guess it;’s just a writing device more than anything, but at the same time Bach was always very specific in his writing so... Maybe he is indicating more of a feel by saying 9/8... Anyone?

[@CamperoxD.]

[@isasock2346]

I have a few questions in the fingering Where can I look for this information

[@wotan10950]

Isamar Almeyda Me too. The trick for this piece, as with many others, is to get the best fingering for the smoothest legato. I was trying to notate the fingering from the video, but it’s too fast.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci

[@kikomundo2011]

Brasil, saudações, coisa linda!

[@richardvincent4697]

Does anyone have a fingering notation which I could use as I struggle with some parts especially the middle section.Thanks.

I cannot find a SINGLE voicing exercise video on YT that does what you're doing. Could you possibly elaborate on this technique?

[@stevothefellow]

Please, please do away with the ‘historians’ pause’ form of voice delivery. After a few minutes it’s like being randomly stabbed in the ear with a chopstick. It’s even worse than ‘clergyman’s sing-song’. Which is quite an achievement.
