Eu tocava esta música, há dez anos parei de tocar Piano e estou retornando aos poucos, quero voltar a tocá-la. Não sei como pude ficar tanto tempo longe do meu instrumento. Hoje parece que estou ainda mais apaixonada por ele do que quando eu era menina. Ficando velha, saudosista e nostálgica. Hahaha... Que execução perfeita! Me motiva mais ainda a estudar.

Mr. Barton! What a great musician you are! I have the greatest admiration for you! And what piano technique you possess!!! You are able to play almost anything.... the Chopin etudes, the “48”, and so on. WHAT A GIFT!!! You are BLESSED. I am a physician and l started learning to play the piano at age 17 yeas; that was the time l arrived to England to attend boarding school and thereafter medical school. I have been in the USA in 1970. I have developed arthritis, murderous insomnia and 24/7 FATIGUE which prevents me from playing the piano. Please, keep up the magnificent work.

[@klavier1us]

Great version of Tico-Tico ! Whenever I hear this tune it reminds me of the way I first heard it - at the hands of the original Queen of the Hammond - Ethel Smith who played it in a Movie & recorded it. Well worth a listen for those who like the tune.

[@leoinsf]

Don't laugh, I saw that movie (can't think of the name)and while I felt the musical number was very well-done and made an impression on the audience, the Hammond Organ just sounded feeble. Piano would have been a better choice.

[@klavier1us]

It's true that you may need to like the Hammond sound to fully appreciate the Ethel Smith version. It's also clear that in a film about bathing beauties in that day, Ethel Smith would end up in the film. What counts today is probably that most listeners know the tune because of her. Her instrumental album including this tune sold well in the day.😎

[@leoinsf]

@@klavier1us I totally agree and please don't think I am undermining Ethel Smith's virtuosity on the organ. She played jazz at a time when the usual organ fare was Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor". ( not sure about key of Bach). Her performance in the movie was a show-stopper and "she swung it out of the park."

I remember picking this piece up and it being much more difficult than it sounded, and I was playing Maple Leaf Rag, Rachmaninoff preludes etc. I have to say though it is a great pity Paul chose not to become a concert pianist because his interpretations are some of my most favourite of all. This piece is a delight with the light tough for the melody quite unlike all the other pieces on KZbin. Paul you should release a CD because you are certainly wasted just teaching and producing you tube content.
