I reduced the free Godowsky edition public domain score (linked below) from 7 pages to 5 which is seen in this video which avoids page turns. I've scanned my score and made you a PDF (free).

This is overwhelming. I can scarcely believe that you've managed to put together a 23-minute tutorial for the entire piece in response to my paltry comment. And you've done it in 48 hours. Ludicrous! Thank you so, so much for your guidance Paul. Having watched the tutorial, I can see so many areas that I will able to hone to a much greater standard with some hard work. I find Section 7 (or the "music box" variation as I call it) tricky too! Once again, thank you. This is one of the kindest things anyone has done for me. Let me know if I can do anything for you (above and beyond Patreon). My very best wishes to you and yours.

[@brunnocavalcanti911]

Me and my wife have been watching your videos since the beginning of the channel (or something like it). We are together for 10 years this year and we still love watching your videos about painting, playing the piano and having news about your wonderful family. We just want to wish you all the best, Paul. You are a great man and will always inspire us while touching our hearts and souls. Thank you.

[@lavigeriemathieu1294]

Paul you have no idea how helpful this is. I knew my way of playing section 7 was somewhat off but your tutorial has shown me why with perfect clarity. A massive thank you.

[@joe_fizz]

Thank you Paul, you are truly wonderful.

[@wendyrenwick4416]

Thank you that was so clear and helpful. I shall endeavour to do it justice. Such a beautiful piece to be able to play.

[@MarianoStatelloPiano]

Oooh great work Paul!!

[@hahahaXDDD]

This is one of my favorite pieces of piano music, thanks for the video!

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Lindsay Lohan -- you're welcome!

[@CliffMcLarnon]

Wonderful!👏

[@jgamez5023]

This is wonderful Mr. Barton, thank you !

J Gamez -- you're welcome!

[@memeguaia]

Amazing tutorial, thank you so so much

[@maddalenasodo9566]

Thank you so much! So helpful

[@michaelrobinson9023]

Paul, thank you for the tutorial. I'm listening to you play the final bars of the Berceuse as I view the new photos from NASA's Webb Space Telescope. Such a beautiful piece of music to listen to while looking at stars millions of miles away!

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Hi Michael -- yes musical pictures if ever there was, just been looking at them too on the NASA website. It's incredible NASA can correct damage to the mirror (5 times) from so far away. www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/main_image_deep_field_smacs0723-5mb.jpg

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have always wanted to play this but had no idea how to attack it. This was exactly what I needed.

[@anthonychang9759]

You are a godsend, Sir Paul.

[@dionariestanto9286]

Awesome tutorial. Seriously, love the vibes, presentation, and insight. Priceless information and great teacher :)

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Thanks so much!

[@sfradebirriel]

Me encantaría escucharla en español.😢

[@cliffworks748]

wonderful to see you again Paul! it's been a few years, cliff woolley in Tokyo. fantastic tutorial hard to believe I played this at my college recital in 73, where were u when i needed you LOL

[@mattporter1692]

Absolutely FANTASTIC tutorials! Was really struggling with the coda from Chopins Ballade 1. But have finally managed it after going through instructions on how to tackle it!

[@JG_1998]

Been thinking about learning this piece! This tutorial may be the reason I finally go for it. I have big hands so the left hand part will be easier perhaps.

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Yes, big hands will certainly help with the left hand as you rightly say.

[@JG_1998]

@@PaulBartonPiano The right hand figurations in this piece seem to be quite difficult and come from all the various etudes. I don't just see 25 no.6, but also 25 no.11 and 25 no.1. Would you say it's appropriate to play this piece if the only Chopin etude I've played is op 25 no.2 (and am currently learning op 10 no.12)? I adore the Berceuse but it really does seem quite intimidating.

[@ishan6241]

Perfect!

[@jaimymetts]

Very nice!

[@12345677396]

Un gran bella esecuzione, molto puntuale, precisa, intensa! Complimenti M° Barton!

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Thank you, Michele!

[@shootthechicken2583]

Paul!! I was deciding between Ballade 3 and this to learn this summer. I picked the ballade but might learn this now because of your awesome tutorials. They are both so good. Maybe I can learn both if I practice enough.

[@adrianocanavero6009]

@ Ballade 3 would be a beautiful piece to hear from you Paul! Thank you for this tutorial also!

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Hi Shootthechicken -- I like the idea that you challenge yourself to both pieces. After reading your comment I dug out my B3 and had a run through, just reminded myself what a wonderful piece it is.

[@shootthechicken2583]

@@PaulBartonPiano Hey Paul, thanks for the reply. I’ll try my best to learn both of these great pieces over the summer. I’m so glad I got you playing Ballade 3 again, it’s my favourite out of the 4. Each section is so unique but equally beautiful.

[@ludicroussealanimations3643]

Hi Paul! much like Eleutherarch, i aswell have the *barcarolle* in my fingers, but could use some help or advice on interpretation and voicing. Do you have any advice?

[@muhammeteminkocak1698]

hello poul! Rational principles of the cortot pianoforte technique. Could you share a video on how to play the exercises in this book? maybe you can lead us by stealing all the exercises there will be a new playlist for us I'm sorry if there is any mistake in what I wrote, I use a translation application. Thank you for your help I wish you a good day…

[@Souls_p_]

Section 7 is very difficult to learn at first!
