Chopin Nocturne Op.9 No.2 - Paul Barton, FEURICH piano

[@pancreasdragonheart9765]

One evening, while assembled in a salon, Liszt played one of Chopin’s nocturnes, to which he took the liberty of adding some embellishments. Chopin’s delicate intellectual face, which still bore the traces of recent illness, looked disturbed; at last he could not control himself any longer, he said, “I beg you, my dear friend, when you do me the honor of playing my compositions, to play them as they are written or else not at all.” “Play it yourself then,” said Liszt, rising from the piano, rather piqued. “With pleasure,” answered Chopin. At that moment a moth fell into the lamp and extinguished it. They were going to light it again when Chopin cried, “No, put out all the lamps, the moonlight is quite enough.” Then he began to improvise and played for nearly an hour. And what an improvisation it was! Description would be impossible, for the feelings awakened by Chopin’s magic fingers are not transferable into words. When he left the piano his audience were in tears; Liszt was deeply affected, and said to Chopin, as he embraced him, “Yes, my friend, you were right; works like yours ought not to be meddled with; other people’s alterations only spoil them. You are a true poet.” “Oh, it is nothing,” returned Chopin, gaily, “We have each our own style.” (Nowakowski, in Karasowski, Semptember 1874)

[@MultiFeliph]

it's true. I was the moth

[@GeodesicBruh]

1874??

[@frostneolo903]

Chopin was not alive at that time..! He had been born in 1810 and died in 1849

[@NXTMusicianBassist]

@@frostneolo903 I figure Pancreas Dragonheart means that account was written in 1874, recalling a decades-earlier event.

[@NXTMusicianBassist]

@@jakeharvey5964 Many Europeans spoke (and still speak) several languages. In fact, Chopin and Liszt were friends.

oh my god i love this so much

[@alexisphilip]

Beautiful interpretation Paul. I love your style of playing. Unique and pleasant expression! Thank you for sharing it.

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Thanks, Alexis!

[@charlescrampton5119]

Paul Barton always makes the best performances! I love his playing so much

[@ktsince83]

Ah one of my all time favourites!! And is going into my favourites playlist! Thank you Paul. I hope everyone is well....well, better than the weather here ha!

[@swiftfox3461]

Kev Taylor Likewise, it's going into my Ambient playlist.

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Hi Kev, glad you like this piece and thanks for the fav. Actually, we've all had the flu at the same time which has lasted a month but are finally on the mend. The weather here in Thailand is monstrously hot (as it usually is) Because it's a tropical county due to the humidity we add on the "RealFeel" calculation to the temperature, for example, tomorrow's weather will be 33C but the RealFeel is 43C cloudy with thunderstorms.

[@ktsince83]

Paul Barton lucky people! The weather has taken a turn compared with last week's beautiful sunshine! Been rain all week, and a few people are feeling a bit under the weather as a result of the temp changes here too. I'm glad your are all feeling better =)

May be my favorite interpretation of my favorite piece. I love Chopin, your amazing Paul. Great work.

[@marialuciabugni7166]

Me too, very, very beautiful piece, divine❤️

[@vivat_in_aeternum7721]

One of the most divine succession of sounds that mankind ever produced, brilliantly performed. What else do we need brothers ?

[@shaukatbhatti2554]

Sir....... your hands are made to play the piano. God bless you. very well played.

[@girlwhocanbreathe]

Thank the LORD for this wonderful piece and the amazingly smart and talented Chopin. Love you!

[@janecollette9504]

I love to watch you play Paul. I've been trying to learn this particular piece and have found it very difficult.I love the great feeling and sensitivity which you put into it . Just beautiful.

[@Nocturne108]

This was a brilliant interpretation. I think you lifted the pedal up at the second phrase where you play E Flat repeatedly at the final note, that is was so very elegant, feels exactly correct. And I think you did it in some other parts too, the sound was clear and rung softly and I can feel the emotion without struggle. Great job!

[@timothysalfarlie1312]

Could watch and listen over and over again.

[@talulahs4036]

I just recently finished learning this beautiful piece and on my way to polishing it. Thanks to you Ive seen a style and skill that may be able to help me accomplish my dream of playing this as enchantingly as you did.

[@baskervillebee6097]

This is a magnificent instrument and exquisite artistry, Paul. But bet the elephants wouldn't love it any better than the old piano in the jungle. The experience was so totally unique and unexpected for them. If you showed up again with a piano, they would remember you.

[@benjiebarker]

finally...someone who can play the LH chords on beat and graceful....you got it man...im saving this to my playlist....rachmaninoff is good but the quality of the audio is not so for the time he recorded it. thank you

[@edisonjamespuato851]

[@UnshavenStatue]

You understand "pacing" a lot better than most people I think. Love your interpretations.

[@nickhunter1245]

Is there ONE human being living on earth today capable to write such beauty? It is so sad to admit that the answer is no... Thanks God we still have their scores to touch only a little fraction of the grace those composers were imagining in their great minds... Great interpretation by the way...

[@janecollette9504]

I love this piece, and you do it so well thank you.

[@mranderson0214]

This was the very first Chopin piece that I learned, and is still one of my favorites to play and listen to

[@luigipati3815]

A piece of incredible elegance. As elegant as his favourite gloves were. Chopin was quite vain. But, what the heck...That takes nothing away from his magnificent artistry.

[@beatrice4073]

I've lost count of how many times I've come back to listen to this piece. Specifically this cover. You played it like liquid gold. I love it so much💕💕

Thank you Paul for your videos and kindness. Maria Joao Pires' Chopin nocturnes is one of my favourite albums

[@Silvertongue8]

I used to be able to play this, I must learn it again after I've finished beethoven pathatique Op. 13, I'm aspergic and don't read music, a d learn through watching and listening with my piano teacher, who understands how I learn, she's gr8, , I'm so pleased I've found this guy, cos I can just watch and try and learn,

[@benjaminfowler3532]

You're so skilled, that you make this look like a piece of cake. its a masterpiece just watching you play it, regardless of the notes heard.

[@ritao.poesia]

Oh Paul, luego de escuchar a varios muchos intérpretes, encontré el que más me ha llenado de inspiración y al que más se asemeja a como yo lo tocaría, si supiera tocar el piano claro 😉 Muchas Gracias por tan magnífica interpretación 🙏😘

[@Drachenkuss0]

I'm currently practising this piece, so this video comes super handy :) I may also recommend another beautiful piece by Tchaikovsky: Valse sentimentale / Sentimental Waltz. Although it can be played with a Cello and a piano, the solo version for piano sounds just as beautiful!

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Thanks for the recommendation. I have found the sheet music and will give it a go. ks.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/4/4d/IMSLP309806-PMLP19422-6_Pieces_Op.51_VI._Valse_sentimentale_(Tempo_di_Valse).pdf

Thank you so much! That's exactly the version I'm playing as well, so I'm super excited to see and hear you play it.

Thank you Mr. Barton, because of your wonderful interpretations I put a lot of effort and learned to play the piece Clair de Lune, of course, I still need to improve a lot. And this wonderful classical piece will be my next study goal.

I was waiting for a long time for you to release this song with the camera above the key board. For I am studying this song and always use your videos to answer my questions regarding the music sheet. before studying this song I studied waltz in A minor as an exercise for the left hand to prepare to this song. I worked! now I can do the jumps needed. your video of that song really helped me too. specially in the little arpeggio in E major. Thanks for your videos. They are great tutorials!

What a wonderful Interpretation :D Thank you for posting these videos, they have helped me so much already I know you are getting a ton of requests, but I would love to see you playing Rachmaninovs prelude op. 23 no.4. I cannot read sheet music and play everything by ear or by watching these top down perspective videos and I cannot find anything coming close to this for that peace. It is one of my all time favourite pieces and it would be a pleasure to hear your interpretation of it :)

[@OlderG0ds]

Very nice. At 4:00 I think there’s 2 notes that should be added, making it slightly different than the previous passage of the same one.

[@valentinasolarrojas8213]

[@russelfernandes8483]

Absolutely beautiful. Having just 'learnt' the piece, ok the notes mainly, I'm going to reference your recording to polish my playing over the next six months. Thanks!

[@michaelmurray1432]

Interesting how you like to use your 3rd finger to play the bass notes with the left hand.

[@hosannacrocket7355]

It helps timing as well. It takes a tad less time to get your pinky on the bass than it does your 3rd finger :D

about 6 bars into learning it by eye on youtube. why didnt i learn to read music this is gonna take about a year to learn but my life will be complete 😏

[@jakobstubholmgaardjunker1534]

@@scotchbeef6078 Watch videos about music theory. There's things you need to know in order to play the piano. With that said there still have existed very talentet piano players who couldn't read sheets - let me mention Erroll Garner. Though, it won't take long time to learn reading sheets, if you're dedicated - especially if you already can play the piano.

This piece always makes me so happy to hear!!! I also have a question, if you have a video about this I would love a link, but if not a video of it would be cool! Anyway, I’m a busy college student who is also working and trying to have a social life too, so I really don’t have the time that piano merits to excel at a quick pace, but I was wondering if you have any advice on like a maybe 15-30 min practice routine so I can have something that is feasible for me to do every day? I know that isn’t a lot of time but I’m sure there’s a way to do it efficiently!!! Thanks so much!
