Mr. Barton, I am thoroughly enjoying your way of teaching different techniques of how to play piano pieces. Oh by the way I am 85yrs old and have been playing the piano most of those years. My first classical lessons were in London England. My teacher was Sir S Smith although he wastn't a Sir. My audition he aske me to play the scale of F major. A lare echoing room and i played the scale and at the end I realized I had forgotton the B flat. But, in my innocence I shoulded in my Glasgow accent I had forgootn the Black note. He shouted from the far end of the room I will take you as a pupil The fee was one guinee My mother cleaned the offices in the early mornings to pay for those lessons. just a lttle story from a long time ago.. The discovery of the new technology, and my neighbor hooking up a computer for me has been a wonderful experience for me now that I have time to concentrate with little or no interruptions. Thank you I will keep waching and studying .At my age it keeps the brain active and the hands happy. M.Williams Kelowna British Columbia Canada

I hope you are still enjoying his music. 😍😁

[@1955robyn]

Just gobsmacked! What incredible dexterity, accuracy, clarity! Thank you for sharing your incredible gifts and talents - and might I surmise - sheer hard work.

[@scarlatti222]

Not only your a great pianist .. your a great explainer too , thats a rare thin nowdays Respect 🎩🌹

[@raphaellwsh]

Paul, would you ever play Rachmaninoff's 2nd concerto first movement? It would be helpful to have an overhead piano view to study the fingering. I know it's a huge lot to ask, but it would mean the world to a lot of us!

[@cheek1610]

You are amazing Paul.... Super mega impressive... A very very fine performer indeed.

[@ktsince83]

You should be a presenter mate! I can totally see you on the BBC 😀. Great video =). I hope you and the family are doing ok. Looking forward to Volume 3 from yourself and Mayumi.

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Thanks Kev. CD3 coming soon. yes, all is fine over here and hope the same for you. Take care mate!

[@marianpalko2531]

Kev Taylor He is a world-class painter and a world class pianist, and you want to lower him to the level of a mere BBC presenter?

[@Velsanz]

I know and love for a long time this work but even your progression of videos was pretty awesome and stimulant. Thank you.

[@ieuandavies9380]

great video! a tally cleared some things up for me, since I'm also doing the Goldberg variations and was struggling to practice this effectively on piano. I will have the opportunity to play this on a two manual harpsichord later, however. thanks again!

[@juanconnor8224]

Really inspiring pianist. Thank you for this.

[@mbabb]

Just magnificent, Paul!!! Thank you!

[@iwonaskowronska2375]

Mr. Barton, thank you for your beautiful soul you shareing with me...

[@Bogdan_Olszewski]

That variation number 5 seems like a true show of hand dexterity.

[@szetov]

I am really looking forward to this!

[@hrobert745]

Really interested in the sheet music you said is in the works for the variations! Looking forward to your notifying us about when and how we can get a copy.

[@constipatedlecher]

Wonderful -- gives me hope that I might actually be able to play the hand-crossers. As obvious as it now seems, it never occurred to me to trade some of the parts between hands to avoid the crossing! Thanks very much for this. Look forward to the tweaked sheet music.

[@edharrison5271]

Loved this, thanks. I’d really like to hear your renditions of some of Grieg’s lyric pieces please?

[@MatthiasNauwelaerts]

Impeccable technique!

[@andrenotter]

Genius

[@re_mi]

Thank you so much for your excellent performance, I am delighted!

[@huqiao]

Amazing !

[@alfa6018]

Beautiful variations

[@thomasdastillung4097]

Speed and précision is hardly believable...Amazing. definitely "not a work for everyone" as you mentionned...

[@Leon-oq3ye]

Wonderful

[@farahhelbawi75]

Maybe I am asking too much... But I would love to have a live show , it would be truly amazing with you playing on the piano ❤

[@jayw8726]

Where do you perform? Which university do you teach? Which panel are you an examiner of? When is your concert? When is your world tour? You need to be doing all these. 😍❤️

[@gabrielarnold]

wonderful...

[@bosshossredsox]

Paul, could you do Ravel's Ondine? I'm having trouble finding videos that show the pianist's hands at certain parts.

[@Dubickimus]

>"with exception of a few that were not of this world" he's talking about Glenn Gould

[@summushieremiasclarkson4700]

Rubinstein, Horowitz, Schiff and Arrau as well.

[@Titurel]

definitely going to purchase this!

[@brucequinn]

Really interesting!

[@MaximeRaynal]

Wonderful work !!!!

[@RhondaRizzo]

Stunning!

[@trangtraiq-farm6657]

Amazing ❤❤❤

[@OnlyEdandTheAlmost]

Most excellent.

[@grubby5388]

Hey Paul, could you consider playing some more Debussy? Maybe Reflets dans l'eau from images book 1? Or possibly the toccata from Pour le Piano? Thanks!

[@Chulamani]

WOW!!!

[@rosicarlamonteiro5503]

Uma pena que Nso tenho grana , money para aprender piano !!!😢 I live ver o senhor tocar !! Parabéns

[@cjproffitt6462]

Most excellent

[@weggy3]

increadable

[@samborland1783]

wow you are an exclusive talent...please give tutorial on how to cross-over the wrist, fingers,hands.

[@ruperttmls7985]

Hola Paul; podrías incluir las Seis Fugas de Handel? Tocas muy bien el barroco y me encantaría escucharte tocar mas Handel. O quizás escuchar "The Bells" de William Byrd con el uso del 4to pedal armónico de tu piano FEURICH.

[@veronicaalessandrello1022]

Wow 🤩

[@Chengdu9273]

Did the Doug Gordon edition come out yet? Looking forward to it.

[@mikewhelan9561]

this is 2 years ago was it published yet ?

[@LaserGryph]

Did Paul ever get his version of the Goldberg variations published? I had always wondered what became of this project.

[@Martin_Aleman]

Rach 2 please!!!!

[@tanja8907]

Dr. Lecter would approve of this.

[@farahhelbawi75]

👌👌 👏👏👏❤❤

[@rudolfgolezpianist4322]

Is this now available? Would like a copy how to get?

[@everyday734]

С такой техникой как у него 😂, можно сыграть все что захочешь

[@maximilianocienfuegos237]

👏👏👏👏

[@cjproffitt6462]

Which musicians are you referring to that are "not of this world"?

[@PaulBartonPiano]

Glenn Gould.

[@cjproffitt6462]

I see what you mean. But I cant tell much difference between his and your abilities. Thanks for replying

[@marianpalko2531]

CJ Proffitt I think Paul plays some of the variations much better than Glenn Gould. For example the 20.

[@IEEMAZ_Convoluted_14.2.8.5]

560th like

[@lohphat]

If William Shatner played piano.

[@TheMadisonHang]

you look like eric clapton are you sure you don't belong to a lineage of musicians...
