Paul, that was astoundingly beautiful. It took me back to when my parents told me they selected this piece to be played at their wedding in 1946. It has always been a favorite. They have both been with their Lord and Savior now for almost 10 years and at times like this I miss them so. Paul thank you so much for achieving the emotional level that you do when you play. You deserve all the best, and much success.

[@williamfulgham2010]

Even though Bach's main body of work was written primarily for the pipe organ masters, this one piece from his contata 208, has been performed on just about every type of instrument ever built, but down through the ages it has been a perfect fit for piano. Nice performance, Paul.

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

I absolutely love this piece, and I don't think this rendition can be surpassed. I have listened to it about 10n times in the last few weeks. Mr Barton, you have given this old man a great deal of pleasure.

[@cs3742]

And this old lady too. I keep coming back to this.

[@EpigeneticAlteration]

This is absolutely incredible! It sounds like a modern piece, yet was written hundreds of years ago.

[@dmswan3172]

EpigeneticAlteration indeed, it is timeless - true genius transcends time!🎼

[@debbielimbl]

Thanks a lot, Paul. I can almost imagine the sheep on the fields grazing with the countryside at the background. Reminds me of what is truly good on earth and the good old simple life.

[@rothschildianum]

This has a symbolic meaning, not a real sheep grazing...It is US grazing.

[@Oiseaux_rebelle]

Beautiful comment Debbie, I always picture the same thing as well...except I live near them sheep :)

[@mathemusicianify]

This is definitely the best recording of this piece I have ever heard. The beautiful sounds of the piano give a calming feel. Beautiful as always, and I very much like the recording angle where one can see your hands.

[@romanblanks1473]

Your articulation of the different voices is so masterful; it really brings out the nuances of the piece and is such a treat for the ears. You share so many wonderful performances, it's really appreciated.

[@lianecornils905]

Thank you Lord, for keeping my son safe.

[@jyannahong8627]

To keep a particular finger pushing stronger than others while playing chords is really challenging and yet fun. Thank you so much for sharing this precious one!!!

[@Maxence1402a]

My technique is to imagine the main voice and the accompaniement apart even though you use your right hand to play both. This way, it feels to me as hard as playing two voices. Hope this helps :-)

[@andredelacerdasantos4439]

I just focus my attention on what I want to sound stronger.

[@ScottShih1996]

It seems that each of your fingers has its own soul A truly touching play :)

[@collectorofcats294]

I have a hard time listening to this piece, my mother used to play it and it’s one of the last pieces that I heard her play before she passed. After 20 years, I’m finally beginning to play piano again, thinking about adding this to my repertoire...

[@sanros6811]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Play this in her honor.

[@madeleineeno7376]

I'm so sorry for your loss, too. My mom just died and I found a note she'd written about songs she wanted played at her funeral, and this was one. :-( I hope you do add this to your repertoire. It's so beautiful.

[@madeleineeno7376]

[@davelee8961]

I can never forget my Mom and I driving across the USA when I was young. This came on our Bach cassette and Mom began going "BAHHHH, BAHHHH." Beautiful piece. Your Mom must have been an extraordinary lady.

[@ashtonolsen6486]

2:35 leaves me in tears every time. Best part of the piece.

[@davelee8961]

I always think of that part as "real life" briefly intruding on the piece. But then we go back to the beauty contained in this life.

[@autry33]

Bach is so remarkable. It's almost as if he could convey the whole range of human emotion perfectly and at the same time technically. Almost like saying a word so perfectly that it's almost divine or not of this earth. To me, his music echo's in my soul. Gently whispering emotions I can't convey better than I could ever explain. I can't imagine life w/ out his music. Bach was a gift to all of us from God. Thank you Mr. Barton.

[@davelee8961]

Very well said! When you listen to the different parts interacting in his music, it can only come from God. And the emotional resonance at the same time can just floor you.

[@autry33]

@@davelee8961 Yes! Exactly! That's in essence what I mean. A man of such dedication and sternness to his craft. Sometimes Stubborn and willful with an insane work output of material and yet there is this emotional heft that is almost impossible to explain. The vastness of human emotion he was able to place inside his compositions. The only word for it I can think of without being overstated is supernatural.

[@keikot4998]

Indeed, our God keeps us safe. This plays well.

[@katherinegan9196]

It’s mesmerizing just to watch your fingers caress the notes. So beautifully played. Thank you Mr. Barton

“If there is anyone who owes everything to Bach, it is God.”― Emil Cioran Congratulations. This heavenly performance lives up to this quotation.

Schlomoh Brodowicz Are you serious?

[@emmadas]

The other round Bach praises Lord

[@kerawelt2008]

Yes I am...

[@jmiquelmb]

He means that Bach has made such incredible religious music that God owes him, not the other way around. Yeah you can discuss that God gave Bach his talent but I don't care I'm not even religious tbh. It's just an ingenous way to praise Bach as a musician

It is an aria from cantata 208, and it is not Lipatti transcription, neither Ignaz Friedman transcription, so I guess it is a Barton transcription, and it is very nice. The chords in left hand gives a nice quiet mood, "grazing" I think, and the chords emphasize the quality of a superb instrument :)

Concerning bar 4: the fourth chord struck by the left hand I change to F major (FAC). I like the interrupted cadence feel and to me it makes more logical sense given the notes played in the right hand. I hope I'm not a bad person for doing this.
