Good morning Mr. Paul Barton, would you like to play my piano arrangement of "Memorias de la Alhambra" by Francisco Tárrega? I can send you an audio link so you can take a listen to it
@@PaulBartonPiano Oh yeah! I've seen that one before, only that this time I tried making the arrangement accurate to the original I tried my best with finding a comfortable fingering for repeated notes (3 notes)
The piano teachers group I belong to holds a concert every year with each Teacher playing 1 selection from a group of works. Last year we did Schumann's Kinderszenen, each teacher performing 1 piece right after another. This year we're doing the Chopin Waltzes. This is the Waltz I was assigned, and of course its one I don't know and have to learn, which is the entire point of the concert. This has already helped my fingering immensely. Thank you, Paul. Excellent performance as always.
And the left hand in this vals is barking like a little dog. Such a beautiful and joyful piece to play, the first one I ever learned by Chopin and it still amazes me ♡
Conclusion: Chopin's perception of one minute is our perception of two minutes twenty two seconds LOL. I love it! Congratulations! (Sorry if I had any mistake, I'm a Spanish speaker learning English)
@@pleasecontactme4274 depends on the composers. Liszt did, for example. Glinka or Tchaikovsky too I believe. But in this case you're right, Chopin didn't name his compositions
@@jesusestellesmico2457 In Chopin's case all the names of his pieces were invented at different times by different people: publishers, journalists, some forgotten composers... I don't believe we know in detail. Or at least I don't
I remember subscribing to your channel a few years ago,there was about 30k of us, and I am so happy to see that the number has grown so much, and that half a million people are supporting art! Wonderful! I'm glad this channel exists❤️
Hi Paul, another great performance, I just love the way you play chopin waltzes. The new piano sounds great too, the tone is quite nice. Recently I found myself asking if you had played any scriabin in the channel before and I realized that you haven't. I think maybe some early scriabin like his mazurkas or his etudes would be an interesting addition to your channel or even a sonata like his 4th sonata (a personal favorite)
Absolutely fantastic! I've been following your channel for a very long time now (even under a different channel back then) and you have always been one of my greatest inspirations, be it on the piano, with your painting or even what a wonderful dad you seem to be to your daughter. I'm afraid it is to late for me to become a pianist as good as you are, but I still work on my craft every day, trying to become as good as I can possibly be. I very much do believe in myself as a composer though. I am my music and my music is me. It always seemed so unachievable to me, but it has for a long time been a dream of mine to hear and see you play one of my compositions. I just couldn't imagine, how a pianist like you would interpret my work, hopefully in a unique way, completely different from the way I play my pieces. But I digress, thank you Paul Barton for yet another gift of a great interpretation of a wonderful piece :)
I believe the Feurich 133 also has Paolello strings. How have you found this piano to behave in a tropical climate? Would you advise those living in a similar climate to buy this piano? Enjoyed your Minute Waltz!
The FEURICH 133 is the best upright piano I have ever played. Yes, I would recommend it for any climate. The 133 gives me a strange feeling as if the new rapid-cam action is actively helping and encouraging me to play. It has a fabulous dynamic range, almost sounds like a grand piano. You can get a huge dynamic range really easily between the soft pedal, releasing it and as it's a concert upright rather than a regular, it can offer a huge sound with not so much effort. It's a piano for contrast.
@@PaulBartonPiano Chopins 2nd scherzo has always had the most contrast of any piece by him in my opinion. Would enjoy another upload of that piece. Very well controlled playing and thoughtful here
Absolutely love this rendition! It's supposed to be a waltz and nobody makes it sound clearly...I don't like the incredibly rapid tempo in Chopin. This does the deed perfectly to my ears ♥️
I find that some people online start the piece itself with a trill, but the long continuous trill basically is only to be played at the repeat of the first theme before the recapitulation. This is probably the best tutorial I have seen, great indeed! I also love the voicing in the bass section. I have a request, could you please do a tutorial on Beethoven's À Therese sonata Op.78 in F sharp major?
Nothing is clear, all the sounds are mixed at such speed, it’s a waltz, it's a smooth. I don’t think that Chopin meant to play this waltz in a minute, it’s just a name, why play it so quickly?
I took piano lessons for two years and stopped about a third of the way through John Thompson, book 2. Fast forward many years, with only occasional practice in the interim, my new piano teacher wants me to learn this.
Bravo, Paul. I love your channel and have turned others on to it. Despite your explication of how the piece came to be known as "The Minute Waltz" I wouldn't doubt that there is some enterprising piano recitalist who is fully aware that he or she is in Show Business and who is practicing like heck to destroy this lovely little piece by actually playing it in a minute. Have you seen Lang Lang play this piece, apparently unplanned, while having a casual conversation with a few people in the concert hall during the afternoon practice session for one of his recitals? It's a hoot. LL could probably play at least half of his repertoire in his sleep.(It's on YT.)
Have you listened to Toots Thielemans? A true music manship. All these Chopinstuff you can use a computer software to play really good. But play like Carlie parker. WOW!
Я мечтала играть на фоно, пианино.. Но, пальцы короткие, корявые, да и слух не очень. Но очень люблю смотреть и слушать, как кто-то играет.это волшебно!
I understand that tempo molto vivace is up to 176 bpm. I guess you played it at almost 300 bpm!!! A Waltz is a dance!!! I don´t know any single person who could dance a waltz at 300bpm LOL. Or even a dog that could chase his tail so fast .-)
I especially like Your Chopin😍 Can I make a request？ I want to listen Chopin etude op25-12 slow down tempo a little. My etude hasn't been improved much😭 I'm Looking forward to next post！ from your biggest fan in Japan
A beautiful piece but I always think of Chico Marx of the Marx Bros. playing it and saying at the end: "Ha, beat you that time." It's not a race Chico.
@@ablond1701 You'll get no argument from me there, blondie - unless, of course, you are shopping for a complete portfolio of Chopin"s piano composition and a new Steinway & Sons Grand Piano on which to play them.(if you need any private lessons just let me know.)

@@PaulBartonPiano hi Mr Paul Barton how is ur day :)
When someone asked Victor Borge how long it takes to play the Minute Waltz, he said, “15 years, if you want to get it just right!”
The bass line is voiced, wonderful
In the true nature of a waltz indeed!
hi fellow Lisztomaniac

I always take pleasure in listening to beautiful piano pieces that I am unable to play
The start of a new Chopin period on this channel? I'm all for it.

It could mean minute as in "tiny" ? (MI-nute where the mi rhymes with sky).

Amazing rendition! Very smooth, and generally very calm.
Fantastico Paul. È che dolcezza la seconda parte del valzer.... Fa davvero sognare...

Wundervoll, es gibt einem wieder Kraft, vielen herzlichen Dank, lieber Paul .👍🎹🍀⚘🥰🤗🙋♀️
Thanks for all your Pieces. Your musicality and interpretation is very inspiring and educational. Greetings from Belgium :)
It finally sounds like a waltz! Good job
Phenomenal hand movement. So relaxed without straining. Looks effortless, but I'm sure you worked VERY hard to get it to look that way. I applaud you.
Hats off to just fantastic. I am learning this piece. This video seems to be an ideal for me

Reminds me of a bee flying around me when a sit front a table drinking a cup o' coffee. I love to listen piano e violin together or separated.

Ese final!!! qué hermoso!!! Chopin, por siempre Chopin...🥰
Qué bonito! Levemente más lento que otras versiones, lo que lo hace mucho más dulce! Gracias ❤
There’s a lot of feeling and expression … doesn’t sound mechanical ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just wonderful
Awesome performance! The notes make its so nice and easy to understand what you are doing. Any chance you'd tackle La Campagnella one day?

Amazing song. Thank u!!

Yay, you played it slower this time! :)

Heyy, Im currently learning this piece and I love it, but its hard for me to play these notes consistent. Can you help me with this problem?
My puppys started to play with this
si es el vals del minuto por que dura 2 minutos?
Amazing
Do you think I can use your version of this music to do a dance performance?
Yes, you're welcome!
Great! you know how to play funny:)
Can i please have the sheet music??
Could you do an lesson on this piece?
sos un genio

I have to admit that Chopin is not my favourite music. You just changed that. Thanks. BTW: Paul! Are you descendent of Clara Barton?
