There's a blizzard outside right now, and watching the snow fall while listening to this is so pleasant ☺

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Thank you, Tanaboon. As a British expat in tropical Thailand I haven't seen snow for around 15 years. Expats abroad often say they miss the changing seasons. My 6-year-old daughter Emilie dreams about snow, as seen in movies and picture books, and often asks what snow feels like. Take care!

[@tonmandude]

@@PaulBartonPiano Thank you for all of your uploads! I'm originally from Chiang Mai, and seeing your videos with the animals gives me fond memories of home. I haven't been back in 12 years. I'm glad to still experience Thailand through your channel :)

I've always absolutely loved this piece. Chopin was so amazing at virtuosity but also capturing the mood. Very well done!

[@horatiohornblower868]

Breathtaking tempi brilliantly executed! You are a genuine virtuoso, Paul!

[@mudkip_btw]

It must be really satisfying rediscovering pieces on such a great new piano. Impressive playing as always!

[@mudkip_btw]

Always knew you were a great pianist but I haven't seen you play like this in a new upload in a while. I'd say you've still improved!

[@Hellofriend88]

One of the few times I’ve listen to the whole song and not grown bored of it in the first 30 sec. Bravo!

[@lull13]

Excited to hear Chopin on your channel. I'd *love* to hear your interpretation of Berceuse. I have a feeling it would be in good hands.

[@hengsheng7963]

One of my favorites. There are so many memories attached to this piece, both good and bad. When I first heard this I was just a small child. I think I heard it in TV. I've wanted to learn play musical instruments for years, but I have absolutely zero talent with music.

[@blaze8643]

Give it a try I started learning 6 months ago at 15 years old

[@joshtt3240]

Don’t say that,you can achieve this if you really want to just put in the hard work,believe in yourself and have a positive mindset.

[@lambertch]

I am 53 and I have been taking piano lessons and practicing for almost 7 years now. A piece that would take me 2 months to learn would have taken my daughter probably less than a week. But it doesn’t matter! Life is so much more enjoyable now with music, or more precisely, with the unrelenting effort of trying to make music! :)

Кто дизлайкает спрашиваешь? Ну я. Исполнение хорошее, но звук странно скачет, то еле слышно, то слишком громко. Дискомфортно слушать. У Rousseau, к примеру, таких скачков звука нет, за это ему тысячу лайков. Переводчику привет передавай.

[@pinkropers]

I'm going to start working on this because of you!

[@1947Rogerio]

Playing the piano and watching the score passing over is a very unconventional way of teaching a little piano, as I just saw in your breathtaking video. I started taking piano lessons when I was 16 years old. Only a madman! Of course, after a few dozen lessons I gave up (fortunately...). In fact, I couldn't stand the solfeggio and had to join the bass clef with my left hand with the treble clef with my right one. However, I still remember the meaning of all the notations in the pentagram. These put together make me cry (with tears and all) when I hear something like the beautiful sounds that your skilled fingers produce. With some humor after all, the loose of salt in my tears helps an old man to keep the blood pressure steady... Congratulations, Paul Barton! Bravo! Bravissimio! Arcibravo!

[@nikitaedell]

I am a pianist and i never had solfeggio 😂

Hi Mr Barton, would you mind sharing some practice tips on this piece? When my right hand starts playing, my left hand always loses its rhythm. I tried to practice separate hands first but keeps failing when playing both hands. Thank you for your reply!

[@oliviaedralin1436]

Wow!!!!!

[@cathy__wilson4930]

Amazing!!!! Bravo!!!!!!! Omg I can't play that fast😂 i am still practicing...

[@jameszhang9326]

The swing in the left hand gave that joyful Winter underlying tone. Right hand sounds quite mechanical in terms of the pace. Chopin's fantaisies are actually more ephemeral by their nature. Somewhat sweet yet fugacious. If you study Kissin's interpretation, the left hand is actually more in the background sound and is more fluctuating in its dynamics. The right hand is technically dancing and not too excessive on the accents. Another trick is to perform a forte-piano cross-over between the left and right hand at certain crescendo junctions, which will express more variations in the interpretation. A trick to this is to imagine the left hand playing the violin portion and the right hand as a configurative dancer.

[@kuuderepiano2988]

Good morning Paul Barton, would you like to play an arrangement I made? The piece is called "Recuerdos de la Alhambra", made by classical guitarrist Francisco Tárrega I arranged it for the piano; The right hand plays repeated notes all the way to near the ending, so I thought that would help you excercise those. The left hand is simple, I also experimented with the fingering to see what is comfortable

[@nezkeys79]

[@jpvamerican]

What are your feelings about using Hanon or Czerny to train for this level of runs? Are there other exercises that may be more effective? Asking for a friend 🙂😝

[@PaulBartonPiano]

I have never played Hanon or Czerny. Perhaps I would play better if I had. Please tell your friend, in my view, Chopin's 10/2 is the one ring to rule them all. kzbin.info/www/bejne/moPbe2inppqqiZo

[@jpvamerican]

@@PaulBartonPiano Thank you very much for your insights! I found your tutorial video already on 10/2. I believe with Hanon to warm up and 10/2 to add diversity to the repetitiveness of Hanon, I very well will be on my way to sorta play the runs more evenly and perhaps even faster! Truly appreciate all your videos and your talent.
