Frédéric Chopin wrote his Trois nouvelles études ("three new studies") for piano in 1839, as a contribution to "Méthode des méthodes de piano", a piano instruction book by Ignaz Moscheles and François-Joseph Fétis. They are often erroneously described as posthumous. These études are less technical than the composer's Op. 10 and 25 and retain Chopin's original formula for harmonic and structural balance. The Études: 1)The first of the Trois nouvelles études is an intimate piece in F minor. It develops students' facility with 3-on-4 polyrhythms. 2)The melody of the second étude in A-flat major sits atop a series of chords in the right hand with a simple bass in the left hand. It develops students' facility with 2-on-3 polyrhythms. 3)The third and last étude, in D-flat major, is probably the most technically challenging in this collection. It develops independence of voices and articulation in the right hand, with the upper melodic line quite legato over a staccato alto accompaniment. Some of the reaches required between the alto and soprano lines might be difficult for pianists with smaller hands.
@jl5555ls why so much hatred if you don't likeChopin ?. These 3 pieces are "just" études , not waltzes, nocturnes, balades. As for études, op 25 no 12 "Ocean" is a dream...
@jl5555ls maybe, I'm wrong. But I read the word "crap"which in not very positive ( even if english is not my mother tongue"). Not really friendly? The definition of hatred in Cambridge is"strong dislike". dictionary.cambridge.org/fr/dictionnaire/anglais/hatred Much ado about nothing..
0:10 - No. 1 2:20 - No. 2 4:11 - No. 3 Beautifully played, as always, Paul! Thank you so much for sharing this! These etudes actually don't seem like they'd be too terribly difficult for me to learn quickly. I'd just have to get over all those congested chords in No. 2 lol.
@-insert forgettable name- I'm an upper-intermediate pianist, but I haven't played too many pieces with polyrhythms. The one I can think of the most that I've played is Chopin's Nocturne in B-Flat minor, Op. 9, No. 1. These études definitely seem much easier than a LOT of Chopin's other works lol (*cough* Fantaisie-Impromptu). I've just started trying to learn that, and I can barely play the first supermeasure and a half...at a _slow_ pace. 😂😂
These etudes sound unlike much I've heard of Chopin. A very nice rendition of all these wonderful etudes Paul. I have recently started learning Chopin's Nocturne Op.15 No.2 in F sharp Major and I was wondering whether you would have any interest to it. I would expect that you have a very busy schedule with the uploads on your channel and of course your family life. I would very much appreciate your interpretation of the piece which I have come to love.
Um, wow! I'm so glad I missed these when I was studying piano. They're gorgeous to listen to, but they would've been a bear for me to play. Thanks so much for tackling them, Paul!
With this video you reminded me that I studied the first 2 etudes when I was a teenager in the late 90s or early 2000. I had forgotten about that! Thanks, Paul!
Hi Mr Barton, it would be great if you could share your story on how you got to learn piano and your history with it. Maybe even your favourite composers and such xxx We would love to know
Beautifully played as always Paul and much enjoyed. The audio in no.2 seemed to be fading in and out, coming closer than more distant. Perhaps it's just my ears ...or headphones! As ever, thanks so much, take care
Do you have to use the sostenuto pedal to get the bass notes legato? Edit: For the third etude I mean, to still get the staccato notes in the right hand
Yes the 3rd is horribly difficult. How is it possible to play it so clearly with a legato and a staccato at the same time. Imagine, there is no pedal possible.
Yes....etudes nouvelles....judging from no.1 it seems as if Chopin had invented a new motif on the composition of studies. No 2. kind of reminds me of a quicker played opus 10 no.4 with all of it's subtle chromaticism.

@jl5555ls An etude is not only about how it sounds,it improves our technique too.
Chopin was one of the most eminent composers of the romantic era

Much ado about nothing..
Wow! As a beginner this makes my eyes water. Yourf fingers are possessed. Thank you for your incredible generosity. You are an inspiration for me.
0:10 - No. 1

@@christianvennemann9008 Check out Chopin’s A flat major Nocturne op 32 no 2, it has a little polyrhythm but its not too bad. Such a great Nocturne!
@@nerrdinho I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@christianvennemann9008 I just realised that was 4 years ago, I’m sure you’re an advanced player by now…haha
@@nerrdinho Ehhh, just a little bit more advanced. I'll admit I haven't practiced too much, thanks to school
I love the clarity of no.3!

I had no idea these even existed?! Thank you for sharing
The 3rd one is really hard to read. I am playing it now and it's taking me forever to just read it. You did a great job dude
No. 2 finally made sense to me. No kidding! Bravo!
Um, wow! I'm so glad I missed these when I was studying piano. They're gorgeous to listen to, but they would've been a bear for me to play. Thanks so much for tackling them, Paul!
Yes I’m learning no 3 rn and it’s hell 😭
With this video you reminded me that I studied the first 2 etudes when I was a teenager in the late 90s or early 2000. I had forgotten about that! Thanks, Paul!
Thank you Paul Barton for sharing this beautiful music with us ! Injoy listening
to the Master pieces ! Wonderful job 🙏

Beautiful interpretation Paul. Thank you.

Started playing this today, wish me luck!
Love your work wish I could you could be my teacher in life and arts
Paul deserves more subs.
The third etude technics remind me of Chopin's waltz no 17 😍
Only that it's a menuet this time.
Awsome Paul!
Many thanks 👍🏻
Wow this was amazing
Awesome. Just awesome.
Beautifully played as always Paul and much enjoyed. The audio in no.2 seemed to be fading in and out, coming closer than more distant. Perhaps it's just my ears ...or headphones! As ever, thanks so much, take care
The three is something I've learned in the past, and I got to say 3rd one even though it's not polyritmic, it's the hardest imo
Polyrhythms aren’t terrible (most of the time) no 3 is just mean lol
Thank you for these 3 études, less known than the others (op10 znd 25)
Love this !
Brilliant👏👏
hello from Italy
Ciao haha
hello from Macao (China)
Thanks 😊 🎵

Perfectamente realizados los crescendo y decrescendo
Do you have to use the sostenuto pedal to get the bass notes legato?
Edit: For the third etude I mean, to still get the staccato notes in the right hand
Lovely
buff excellent!!!
Let’s fucking go
Paul can you up a video show how to play Chopin Etude Op 10 no 12? Revolutionary?
Yes the 3rd is horribly difficult. How is it possible to play it so clearly with a legato and a staccato at the same time. Imagine, there is no pedal possible.
Actually it’s easier to play legato and staccato then it is to play only legato
Rhapsodie en rouge
These peices seem more or less easy from technical standpoint. Deeply deceptive, as the fact of the matter they are quite hard.
Which digital piano is this?
Is not a digital piano :P
But you can get a VST to make your digital piano sound more like a real piano :p
💕👎❤
Yes....etudes nouvelles....judging from no.1 it seems as if Chopin had invented a new motif on the composition of studies. No 2. kind of reminds me of a quicker played opus 10 no.4 with all of it's subtle chromaticism.
