I did it Paul. I was a physiotherapist for over 30 years. I had to stop after surgery on my arms and I chose two years ago to live out my dream as a musician. I had never written a single musical note and yet I joined the Lyon Conservatory in Composition (!) And the National School of Music. I managed to write a piece for orchestra performed in public and since then I have learned to compose every day. I took over the piano of my childhood, writing and analysis. No pretension on my part. The Universe responds generously when our requests are sincere and in line with our values. Thank you so much for your generosity. I'm glad to see that your life looks good too. Friendly and maybe one day around a keyboard? As I know now; "Chance does not exist AND it always does things right for us" Mark

[@espressonoob]

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.

[@JaySuryavanshiMusic]

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

[@presidentlouis-napoleonbon8889]

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.

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!

[@alehuakailani1825]

Yes I noticed that too! Need to find one of those.

[@pookz3067]

It’s almost certainly editing… not an app

[@guest8571]

It’s probably a pedal connected to the tablet! At least that’s my guess.

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.

[@stevenswift310]

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!

[@charleslaine]

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 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)

This tutorial is fire too🔥

[@rothschildianum]

Watching people cooking does not make you will be able to cook. You need to do it, and every person has his or her problems in executing the playing. We need a teacher who can point out the problem. It is hard to learn ourselves. Basically, most people will have enough speed to do like what Paul did, if one cannot do it, it is because of musical problems (miscounting, incorrect phrasing, wrong rhythm, etc, etc) and also some technical problems (wrong approach of the notes, wrong fingering, tense on your body, etc). It took me a long time to be able to play this 1st movement well. It is not an easy piece to play, easy to read but not easy to play. Not to mention, it is a long piece.

Play them perfectly with a metronome 5 times consecutively at a slow tempo. If you do it, increase tempo by 2 bpm. If not, reduce tempo by 1 bpm, and try again. Eventually you will have it fast and perfect
