Chopin Etude Op.10 No.1 - Advanced Tutorial (45 mins) P. Barton FEURICH piano

- This tutorial is for most part 'advanced' but also contains practice tips for intermediary pianists studying online. To skip my spoken introduction, the practical starts 14:20
It's assumed the short exercise examples in this video are to be repeated as micro-studies. See my Chopin Etude Op.10/4 tutorial for an example of micro-study practice: • Chopin Etude Op.10 No....
Op.10/1 performance clip only: • Chopin Etude Op.10 No....
*Apologies for the sweaty look towards the end of the video - it's one of those pieces and I live in Thailand, which is extremely hot and humid.

Long story short:
-Studied the piano seriously since I was 12
-Reached my highest level at 18 (gave a performance of Rach 39-5, Chopin etudes 10-4+12 and some Bach P&Fs which I am still proud of)
-Moved out, lost the opportunity to practice regularily
-Almost not touched a key in 3 yrs
"I will never be that good again", I thought...
Paul, thanks to this sublime tutorial of yours, not only did I finally put this gem to the task; I'm now breezing through it at half speed after only THREE days.
That's a very inspiring comment.
I'm your 100th like.
this is great! I started at 11 1/2 and now i’m 15. Maybe I’ll be good at 18 as well :D
I wanna play this etude one day. I’ve got a long way to go
Muscle memory is a beast my friend , all you need is just to keep going and never give up
How are you now mate?
Well, I learned the left hand.
LOL :)
haha
Very funny :D
You're halfway there, how much harder can the right hand be...right?
And I have learned the pedal part. Actually I am extremely good at it.
Sir Barton is an inspiring person.
I'm a self taught pianist that has never attempted anything even close to the difficulty of this piece, but I'm learning it thanks to this tutorial. I have posted my recent practice performance of this and decided to start my own channel documenting my progress as a self taught pianist. Thank you so much for taking the time to create these amazing tutorials Paul!
Stick to it
how old were you when you started? I am 20 years old now, and am afraid of spending money in a digital piano and not being able to learn.
@@Gabriel-_-245 I started when I was 20 - actually ended up studying music in college. Never too late. I'm 36 now, and a very advanced player. Its never too late if your willing to put in the work!
@@davidlenox8200 Wow. I thought i were doomed starting as an adult. I'll sure start as soon as I can now
@@Gabriel-_-245 life is a LONG journey! Enjoy the ride! Plenty of time!
Did you know that Vladimir Horowitz refused to perform this piece in public?
He said: "For me, the most difficult one of all (the études) is the C Major, the first one, Op. 10, No. 1"
Where is that information?
You’ll see it in a lot of places. Just look up the piece and you’ll find so many sites mentioning it
@@josesanchezocampo4789 IT IS TRUE! But it is NOT that he COULD NOT play it. It's just that TO HIM it didn't come out the way HE wanted it to be. HE saw SERIOUS DEFICIENCIES in what TO US would have turned out a masterful performance. Compare it to MESSI or NEYMAR scoring a significant goal after a BAD BALL ACCEPTANCE! While EVERYBODY is celebrating THEIR MIND GOES LIKE: "Shit....I should have made the move first; that would have allowed me to receive the ball on my right hand side; THAT would allow me to score the ball WITH MY STRONGER LEFT FEET; which would allow me to nail it down IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE GOAL.I got to work this out at the very first training next week".
@@gunorijssel7987 i love this comment for the reference
Rubinstein said so too
I finally know all the notes!!! now to perfect for the next 20 years :-(
David Shales 17 more to go
Jacob Hopkins 16.5 you are almost at it
Keep it up! Im 4 years behind
You can count 2020 for two or three years.

7:17 "We are not just talking about months here" - one of the most important lessons I learnt by watching this nicely done video. I'm not a pianist, it took me bit more than 3 weeks to play it at 78 bpm, so nearly half the intended speed... after 5 weeks I got frustrated because I couldn't speed it up anymore, I still need to catch a break between some chains of passages and I cannot practice this piece for more than 30 minutes a day because of pure frustration. Initially I had a plan to practice daily for 2 hours, including three small 3-minute breaks - worked for first two days. After a while I couldn't hit proper "key combinations" - I often missed the key, hit other key by mistake/lack of confidence... so I took a one week break, checking what's the situation in the meantime. Week of break gave me some faith in my skills, and so did your video. Thank you Paul!!!
You just absolutely mastered every piece you've touched.
Highly Engaging Content #2 he takes his precious time, like one should. I've seen people butcher the etudes because they attempt to learn them in a much shorter period of time than what is required. This is often the case when a piano student is studying in a music school that requires a said piece by said date..
No, he slows down the piece in the difficult parts, it is not correct. Metronome sir, metronome.
I really searched for original classical pieces in C major to train my side-reading and this is what i got huh.
Ofc. Easy. Exactly for a beginner like me

I am not a pianist, and have no intention of attemping to play this study, but I found your video very interesting. I appreciate the very great deal of time all this must have taken. Thanks for this very professional production.
YOU HAVE SOME OF THE BEST PIANO TUTORIALS ON UA-cam! thanks!
Thank you very much for sharing your expertise with the world. As a jazz pianist I am extremely interested in getting such deep insides in how to study a classical Etude. I find your advice on studying wonderful. People like you make this world (and UA-cam) a better place! Thanks a million!
Holy ... Your recored stereo sound is amazing ... Headphone is a must for this clip.
He leads everyone to be a virtuoso pianist
Dear Paul, I am a jazz pianist so you may assume I'm really bad at classical music, but it was my long-term goal to try and learn this study for my own technical development, and thanks to your video, I really advanced in that. I really appreciated your video and practice approach. Thanks a million for the video!
great tutorial! I have taken it into account when learning it
Etude Op. 10 No. 1 (Joaquín Chaupi)

most positive approach to teaching, how refreshing!
Damn, you really nail "section 4"...the ascending C Eb A Eb is so hard.
Paul, not only are you an incredible teacher, but you can also read minds at 43:08
You're videos are some of the nicest (yet informative) I've ever seen on youtube!
I'd love to have you as my teacher :) Thank you so much, Paul!
Your not you'are.
I love how fluid and energetic your playing sounds, like the soothing power of a waterfall! I noticed the softer parts and the accented notes as they really surprised me and added emotion. Thanks for the tutorial! I am currently learning this piece. I have been on it for a while but it is one of my favorite pieces to practice, so crystalline and joyous. It's a great study piece, challenging yet pure and pulsing that it is noticeable if it is sloppy and rewarding when it is clean!
you're channel is the most inspiring to me as my devtion to piano is similar to yours.
althought I'm not a professional musician, i'm broadcasting podcast specialized on piano music only in south korea.(I'm actually a TV Producer)
i was about to prctice this etude and i guess that this video will help me a lot.
(I learned piano by myself and never had a chance to have someone who teach me piano)
I really love the way you treat music， and I can not describe how good this tutorial is, it is almost impossible to find any free tutorial as good as this one
I shouldn't even be watching this, I'm a drummer haha. But I absolutely love this piece and wanted to know how it functioned harmonically, and I'm so glad I found this tutorial! Although you don't go into much detail about the harmony I still loved seeing and hearing the explanation. I love the way you teach, and speak! Those small pauses you do between words make it so much more charismatic. Thank you for this work Mr Paul Barton
I’ve just been watching a tutorial about this étude that nearly sent me to sleep within the first five minutes - Paul, you are the best!
You sir are a modern master of the piano. Not only great at playing but also at teaching.
Thank you for this! I've learned two pages in two days so far, and it's not as bad as I anticipated. :)
Dear Mr Barton, many thanks!!! I'm nor pianist nor musicians but i love Chopin's etudes. This op 10,1 is absolutely fantastic and i'm crazy for 36'00" to 36'54.. One of the best piece of piano music !!! I lovve it so much!!I like your performance ! Wishes from Como Lake, Italy - Bellagio (near to Liszt house , 1938)
Having played it for years, but looking for something to pass on to someone curious to learn the piece (I'm on the road too much to work on it with him) had no time or inclination to watch whole video, but as a student of Perlemuter, I had been put through these endlessly, I'm delighted to see you passing them on in such a clear fashion.
I've been subscribed for a while, but I've just began sitting down and watching your video seriously for the first time. From your intro it already sounds very promising. Keep it up and thanks.
I really like your Videos, you're really encouraging People to try Things out. After watching some of your vids I was really eager to try a Chopin Etude, you really break it down perfectly. It's still too tough for me though, but you give People the Feeling that with enough practicing they can reach it. I really like that, I really like your playing, you're a fabulous piano-Player and teacher. Thanks.
Played better than anyone. Then explains! He is a gift to us all.
I sometimes wonder how long time Chopin took to compose and practice his own etudes. I love this music and I have played op.10.1 in 45 years now, though never in fast enough tempo.
When at 25: you talk about "faster than the eye can see" there is a book about how it works when playing fast - or kicking a football! That is where special need for playing fast exercises come in. You mentioned it in another video (Bumblebee) - group things, then the brain controls *can* adjust automatically if a goal is set. Otherwise conscious perception is 1/10 sec. behind, which seems very weird, but makes sense, when you for the first time make your fingers play a figure without thinking on each note but just on the figure (and possibly feeling in then hand muscles in the lower forearm).

Your videos are a must for the serious player! Bravo (and thanks for the incredible playing)
Many thanks Paul, I am fighting with this piece since a long time.
Just stunning... and incredibly generous. There is grace left in the world.
Amazing insight and tutorial! This helps a lot thanks.
At most quite invigorating. Paul would no doubt get results out of me as obstinate as i have been. Would love visit him for a few hours for an honest re assessment of what remains of me. Spot on Paul!
This guy is fantastic! I consider him kind of my teacher now.
What's amazing is that we see these as performance pieces, and Chopin wrote them to simply teach students how to play the piano, and to give them a method of practice.
Dear Mr. Barton, I am sitting here in tears of joy having been wonderfully given one of the best music lessons of my life. Your musical presentations are life lessons--simply amazing. I know that the internet is strange and crazy at times, but I speak with honesty and humility that you truly give me the courage and strength to keep on keeping on especially in this difficult world. I am astounded by your incredible musical talent, your beautiful art, your genius intellect and your HUMANITY. I wish you and your family all the best that the Universe has to offer!! May your wishes and dreams be real. THANK YOU SIR!!!
willie2639 what an incredible comment. You took the words straight out my mouth, beautiful
You have emotional issues...
Lovely interpretation, very articulate and professional. I really appreciate that you included information about recording technique. Thank you so much! Would love to be your student!
Just started learning this piece. Even though I'm only 5 days in and have gone through only 2 pages at half speed I feel like My finger stretching is more comfortable and my arpeggio playing in general already feels better.
You´re a true angel of compassion and musical beuty. Thanks for makin less hard the way to heaven.
I got quite nervous when you swung that baseball bat next to that piano.
i really love your videos. they help and inspire me so much!
Thank you Paul for a very interesting, inspiring and entertaining tutorial. I am a middle-age Swedish amateur pianist and Chopin-fan, and i have just started to work on this study, 10:1. At first i began to doubt if i could really learn to play it, but after watching your excellent tutorial a couple of times i realized that this is something i can do and have to do!
Per Amundsson Have you mastered this piece yet?
No, not really. I have put it aside for a while, but i plan to work on it during my summer holiday.
I whish you great success
Amazing, of course! I have memorize 1/5of this piece now! And I think it will be a great piece to study! This tutorial will be motivating, and inspirational for me to have! Thank you!
This tutorial is simply outstanding.
Thank you sir for your tutorial!!! I can now play this study!!! Now I am slowly perfecting it and slowly speeding it up!!!!
P.S. those dozing dogs around the your upright piano are just adorable. You have a wonderful life!
피아노홀릭 want to eat them?
lol why
Alon Ostrun AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Who let the dogs out....am now looking for the dogs!!!!
Alon and Guy Ostrun get yo fucking racist ass outta here boi
This was invaluable to me. Thank you so much.
awesome! every second keeps me interested to finish it.
Thank you for another wonderful tutorial!

this is helping thank you. it's re-assuring that you think some hand fatigue is normal during practice. of course it's important not to overdo it, but for an exercise designed to stretch the hand something akin to the stress in yoga should surely be expected.
one thing i would say, maybe it's trite, but rocking the body with the left hand anchoring, is something i have to force myself to remember. I find it makes a huge difference for precision in the topmost and bottommost arpeggios.
すごいなあ！
わたしも弾けるように練習します！
ありがとうございます😊🌸
Hi Paul, thanks for the generous sharing of your insights and for dis tilling Cortot's practice ideas into the most useful pattern . The 1/2+3/5/1 or 1/2+4/5/1 practice pattern - with almost 'instantaneous' wrist tilting to achieve legato in the transition from thumb to 2nd finger, is brilliant. Before, legato would make the hand so tired. Now, with this approach, the hand relaxes when the 2nd finger Is played. Finally the mysteries of this etude begin to unfold with possibilities of faster tempo and a nice sound.... Greetings from The UAE.
I've been practicing some of the introductory studies from your previous tutorial, which are incredibly helpful.
I thought I was doing pretty well until the 5ths between 2 and 4 in measure 11. Even at my slow tempo that measure is tough!
And yes I am aware that there will be much more challenging measures coming up.
This piece is humbling!
This is just great. Superb comprehensive adjunctive guildance. Thanks so much, for the interest and dedication, sire. Learned a lot. #appreciate
Thank you so much. It is inspiring. Helps a lot to work by sections.
Very useful, and coming for me at the right moment. Thx for sharing it. You play it wonderfully and very accurately.
Very nice...
Thanks! you are so professional!! And patent ..you present your ideas clearly!!
Dear Paul, Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is very helpful for us. Great ideas which even brought us some insights for the fingering and practice of Brahms Hungarian Dances....
you earn much more credit! you should be more famous! thanks for this
it is so great ! the video is so easy to learn, thanks so much!
Okay, thanks! After taking lessons for three years, my teacher moved to California and I've been forced to self-teach (horrible, I know) for the past seven years. So professional opinions like yours really help me out :)
love your videos thanks Paul!
Paul, thank you. You're an excellent pianist and an excellent teacher. I think it's time for me to pick this up again and do some more work. When I started it a few years ago, I thought some of the fingering must have come from an insane editor, like measure 22 as one example. Descending a to b with fingering 2-1. The temptation to change this to 3-1 is overpowering (with a fingering for the 16th group of 5-4-3-1, which is so comfortable for me and relatively easy to play). I'm not sure how faithful my edition is to the original editions, but your tutorial is, I think, leading me to that uncomfortable 2-1 place. After all, he didn't call it a study for nothing.
I noticed a wonderful circle of 5ths that extends for 15 measures from measure 34 to 48. I can mentally anchor onto the circle to help orient my hands to the chords in the passage.
What a wonderful video, Thank you so much! :D
Well articulated. I myself will be presenting a series of Advanced Piano Strategy In Focus videos. Watch this space.
bars 25-28 are just brilliant
Sir Barton's performance at the beginning was very good.
Fantastic performance!
I studied with a cortot pupil.Cortot lived a long time so he left a long legacy he did not record any Messiaen but my teacher gave me a Vingt regards score made of huge pages.It seems a while ago music sheets were larger.I have an old godowsky etude on huge sheets.Anyway he made me aware of Cortot's practice suggestions and also those in the Brahms -paganini varaiations.I wasnt aware Friedman contributed too.I enjoyed watching your video.Thanks again from a student.
great video paul
Nice! Your performance of this at the beginning was fantastic. Really enjoyable listen. You should record all of Op.10!
Ive been playing the piano for a year , i tried this etude 6 months ago , and i thought it would be impossible to play it accurately (i was playing op 25 no 2 and op 10 no 9 at the time)
Now here i am , wanted to try this etude merely for fun , and i found myself playing it at 70% speed without mistakes in 10 minutes after learning all the harmonies . I practice every day as much as possible , work on my technique every day and also musical technique such as voicing and phrasing . I will come back to this comment in 6 months
Awesome tutorial, I would have tried to mash both hands together on the arpeggios instead of following the proper fingering. You really did teach me to trust my fingering abilities more!
so many thanks Paul
Thank you, Sir. You made me very happy.
Great add to my literature review for my school report. Plenty of useful tips and very succinct. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for the help.
thank you!!!! i love paul barton video♡
Just... wow. Wow! Marvellous.
can anyone else believe how well he played this?
Nice and very helpful video. Thanks!
Thank you Paul, this is awesome :)
fantastic video many thanks
never heard the Feurich piano, it sounds brilliant
Great lesson!
Your Channel is amazing!!!! Greetings from Italy!!!
Thank you very much Paul!
Proper Teacher 👨🏽🏫🔥✨😄💫
Best tutorial, this vid deserves more likes. ❤
Been practicing this piece for months now but at best I can do maybe 130-140 bpm, and I still can’t imagine how to play any faster.. Extremely difficult piece imho
P.S. I live in Thailand also.
Practice routine for this goes like this, "Forget about it!" Haha! Thanks so much for uploading this, thanks to this I may have a fighting chance!
Amazing. Thank you very much!
the song is so beautiful even the dog is feeling so relax 7:36
Thanks a lot, Paul :)
thanks for the tutorial!
Excelent video! Some tips helped me a lot!
I'm subscribing to your channel :)
