2:08 I LOVE this mood change. How he suddenly goes from the blissful, dreamy feel to an absolutely funeral-like, dark, almost necromantic vibe. I've never heard a piano piece with such a sudden, but masterfully done mood swing like this (although I am still a beginner in the classical music realm lol).
Try Chopin's Funeral March. It, as many of Chopin's pieces, changes mood drastically . I use the term " mood" also because that's how I think of it. There is no doubt a technical term that I can't recall at the moment! What is so wonderful is that each change sounds completely natural and correct if you know what I mean. Even Beethoven Für Elise uses a similar change from light to dark and back again. So many wonderful pieces out there for you to explore. Super cool! 😁
@@R.Williams yes a hell of a lot, it's been 3 years and I haven't even finished listening to ever Chopin piece, I still have to listen to his 2 concerto and a few other pieces FULLY, Liszt on the other hand.... He's got too many, there are too many composers to listen too, but by far, Chopin is the one I listen to the most
@@R.Williams I think the technical term you're looking for is modulation. What makes this mood change so smooth and natural is that the repeating note A flat/G sharp stay, but the key changes, from D flat major to C sharp minor. This note being shared by these two keys, the modulation is easy for the ear. It's one of the most amazing feat accomplished by great composers like Chopin, Beethoven, etc, in my opinion!
@@DameMitHermelin The story is that Chopin went to Mallorca trying to recover from his illness, hoping that the sunny weather of the island could improve his health. Unfortunately that was a very rainy and cold winter, and that affected Chopin health (physical and mentally) in a very bad way (and pardon for my grammatics, I'm still learning).
Marc Amengual Yo escuche que la historia era que Chopin fue junto a su pareja allá porque se escondían de el antiguo amante de ella, pero al no estar casados, nadie les dio asilo y se tuvieron que quedar en una casa la cual, tenía muchos hoyos y ventanas por las cuales entraba el viento y el agua, así fue como la salud de Chopin empeoro y también cuando compuso esta pieza.
@@goatkoala573 el motivo por el que fueron a Mallorca fué para ver si el clima normalmente mas soleado de la isla mejoraría la enfermedad de Chopin. Todo lo demás que dices es cierto, la sociedad mallorquina de ese tiempo era muy cerrada y con mucha influencia católica, y un hombre extranjero con una mujer que vestía con pantalones y fumaba puros (totalmente disonante con la cultura de la isla) y que ademas "vivían en pecado", hizo sus relaciones con la gente de la isla muy difíciles. Tuvieron que vivir en la cartuja de Valldemossa, búscala si quieres es muy bonita, en aquel tiempo llena de agujeros, goteras... Principalmente las corrientes de aire y la humedad terminaron por debilitar aun mas a Chopin y tuvieron que largarse otra vez a París.
There is so much language in this! I love it. It is innocent, it is strong, it in angry, it is just full of emotion. Tragedy, I told you so's. Very powerful.
I love how you interpret the grace notes similarly to how Lang Lang does in his piano book. I would kill for your technique. I’ve been working on the piece for a month and a half and only the second page has really come together. Even on the second page I don’t think I’m playing it loud enough yet, but any louder and I could miss the keys. It’s been a tough recovery for me, since I suffered tendon damage in my left arm and I have horrible tremors, but I love the piano so much that I’m going to keep working through it. Keep up the great work! Listening to great pianists like Daniel Barenboim, Lang Lang, etc. make me want to pour out my soul into the piano, and having people like you, Rosseau, and others who show their hands help steer me in the right direction in regards to fingerings.
i know Im randomly asking but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Jedidiah Wesley i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
It is always a treat WATCHING you play. Thank you for the score you put on the top; it would help me to learn this piece. ps. love the way you cast the light on the piano; I can see exactly which keys you are playing. I can appreciate this seemingly small, but very significant detail from your photography/art background.
I was listening to the Classical Music channel 148 on my satellite radio yesterday, March 30th, 2019 and there was a piano player talking about music with the host of the interview. The interviewer was talking to the piano master about how music affects a person, how it communicates various things, etc. etc. I was waiting for either one of them to mention the word FEELING - Music is the auditory LANGUAGE of FEELINGS - The AUDITORY SOUND of FEELINGS ! The aliens that designed us, PROGRAMMED us via our senses and I am quite certain that MUSIC is KEY and FOUNDATIONAL to THAT programming process. We are also programmed ( affected ) by LIGHT, Hypnotism for example, and ALL of our other senses. In fact are INPUT as well as OUTPUT / FEEDBACK points, sources and structures.
Ever since I heard this at a piano performance, I have been in love with the sound and atmosphere it gives off. That repeating A-Flat is really soothing
Following a few piano lessons in childhood, and some choral singing, now at retirement I have decided to devote my time to learning as much as I am able at the piano. My current challenge is a bog-standard Easy Piano Classics book. The contents have been rendered in their simplest form. Often nothing more than the melody and the essentials of the harmony. At first, I thought, well this is one step along the way to the real stuff. In fact like many other things, when reduced to the bare bones, simplicity has its own rewards. The versions of some of Bachs pieces have come to convey the beauty of the original piece in a very satisfying manner losing nothing of their musicality. I actually believe JS would nod approvingly.
As always Paul your work is clean and precise! Your video's are a great help to many pianist's and enthusiasts alike. I'm also learning this piece now and watching this is so helpful. Thank you.
Bonsoir Monsieur Barton, magnifiquement bien interprété, et j'avoue que j'aime beaucoup voir la partition défiler car ainsi je peux lire en même temps que vous, et ensuite me corriger, ; mon piano est à côté de moi ce qui me permet de mettre sur pose et ainsi "prendre un magistral cours", quel bonheur de vous avoir découvert ! Je suis une arrière grand-mère qui pratique toujours mon merveilleux ami ... le piano ! la musique et la nature sont si belles, l'une ne va pas sans l'autre. Un grand merci.
I just started working on this piece and decided to listen to some interpretations on YT. First one, they seemed too strict with the tempo and it came off as too rigid for my tatse. Found yours and it just felt perfect. Even where I felt to speed up a bit and slow back down, you did in the same spots. I've only played through to after the first section of the key change. Your playing is beautiful and your musical interpretation just feels spot on for this piece to me. Thank you for sharing. Very inspiring.
Very nice playing as always Paul. For those looking for this particular score on the IMSLP page, I think it is the Mikuli edition (1895). It is public domain and available on the link provided by Paul Barton, but there are quite a few scores on that page and different editions, so use Control + F 'Mikuli' to find this particular one.
Notice how Paul plays with the rhythm of the piece in the parts of the hairpins, where one would expect a crescendo. Fascinating how the hairpin in the romantic era got a different meaning
Rather than relaxing, i always found this piece dark and sinister because i first heard it in the trailer for battle royale. Great interpretation as always paul!
Questa creazione, secondo.me, descrive perfettamente lo stato d' animo di una persona che torna a visitare la casa - una casa con grande giardino annesso - in cui era bambino...dapprima una melodia dolce e leggera..ma poi la parte centrale che irrompe, pesante e lacerante...come la malinconia ed anche il rimorso e la percezione di un lungo periodo di tempo trascorso....solo per riprendersi alla fine del pezzo.
Such a fabulous piece which illustrates a great imagination of a cloudy sky . Little raindrops at first and strong thunderstorms in the middle reveals the truth about rain , anger and piece at the same time . It was like a poem
Part of me felt like you were speeding up and slowing down at times and there were no notations in the score to do so (that I saw). Another part of me is reminded of how much I hate the master pianists when they play Chopin way too fast and vigorous when there is so much poetry and beauty in it. So, I love the delicacy and touch you give chopins music. It gives it the expressiveness it deserves.
What you are describing is called rubato. Amateurs do it because they don't have perfect rhythm yet, and then professionals do it because they know when it is appropriate xD This man knows when it is appropriate :)
2:48 during the crescendo I kind of lost my crap. I think that might be one of my favorite parts, but this entire song is a masterpiece so it is difficult picking which part I like best. That part was the thunderstorm of the RAINDROP prelude.
I looove your interpretation! I used to play this piece, but i think now I was playing it the wrong way, when I hear you, the piece take all its meaning
Me too, I play it too straight and not enough rubato. There is so much passion when Paul plays it. And the the fortissimo section always sounds tacky when I play it, but here it is enthralling and moving. I'm going to have the go back and try to capture the passion that Paul expresses
@-insert forgettable name- Even I think the interpretation of the video contains some "mistakes". For example, in the section 2:10 - 2:56, the right hand could have some more rubato. The same case at 3:15 - 4:04. However, it's clear that Paul worked too hard to play the piece like this. Because of that, I don't think it's bad played or something; it's only a recommendation. Ultimately, good job Paul.
Hello I am learning this now but why no one plays bar 15 as is written.. including here at minute 1.31… can please someone explain? Just a common mistake or is there a reason??
Preludio que me recuerda el fallecimiento de mi esposa a la edad de 40 años. Vivir con carencias luego intensamente y llegar al final de la vida con mucho sufrimiento. Adiós Lolita.
Which edition of the sheet music is this please? I find it clearer and more readable in the sections (like at 4:44) where the repeated G# is in the bass clef as in the edition in the video, rather than in ledgers under the treble clef mixed in with the RH chords (as in all the editions I'm finding).

footballcoreano its a heartbeat. Its about longing for someone to come home (George Sand and her children). Thats why this pieces theme revoles around the 1, vii°, 5, 1.
Matters, some play it in 5 mins, really the amount of emotion you want in your interpretation, so long as it isn't too fast that it sounds rushed, it's fine
The melody starting around 4:25 sounds straight out of the first movement of Beethoven's 14th "Moonlight" Sonata (That section is also in the same key). If Fantaisie-Impromptu is based on/inspired by the third movement, is something similar going on here?
Beethoven inspired Chopin. It was also why Chopin hated the Fantasie-Impromptu since the piece was heavily based on the third movement of Moonlight Sonata Op.14.
Hi Paul, thank you so very much for this video. Is this story about Chopin's friends going into the forest and getting lost for so many days that Chopin believed his friends had died. It was raining when Chopin sat at His piano, thinking about his friends in what he thought was their demise and also listening to the raindrops, Chopin composed this piece. While completing this piece Chopin's friends made it back though sick and soaking wet they were alive!
I like the fact you used the slower tempo, Paul, but I feel the major theme lacked a little grace and on the minor part the harmonic pedal kind of “overcharged” given that the melody line is soo low-pitched. It was awesome you posted this all the same, I still love you as a pianist 😄😊
algunos grandes pianistas de todos los tiempos la tocan más rápido y con más ritmo, pero a mí me gusta esta interpretación , como que interpreta mejor la parte central oscura de esta composición.

That voicing. Consistently tremendous and conscientious voicing in literally every piece you post sir. Beautiful.
Full body chills. You brought to life some melodies in this I’ve never considered. Thank you for posting
Brawo! I am infatuated with this version. You keep the tempo moving and the sound is so crisp and rewarding.
Ever since I heard this at a piano performance, I have been in love with the sound and atmosphere it gives off. That repeating A-Flat is really soothing
In fact, it is D-flat Majour
The repeated A flat is actually a G sharp(notated in the score) but either way it sounds exactly the same😉
Oh wait, I think the notation changes to G# when the key changes to C# minor
This might be one of the best interpretation of a song by pianist i have seen. I mean it look so perfect in my eyes. Well done !
It is not a song, it’s a prelude... you can call songs to what Justin Bieber or any other popular artist sing
@@Danihogwda Wrong. Songs are simply pieces with or originally had words. There are also examples of songs without words.

This piece is not about a raindrop at all... something more darker and sinister than modern audiences would percieve...
Jo Stephenz I think you are right. People are too transfixed by the repeating A-flat / G-sharp, while the whole piece is happening around that
Jo Stephenz Oh wise one. Bless me with your vast knowledge, so that I may be less ignorant of the great secrets this piece hides.

footballcoreano nope...
Ousarlxs Fjsbvbg what would you like to know? I have a library filled with knowledge :)
footballcoreano its a heartbeat. Its about longing for someone to come home (George Sand and her children). Thats why this pieces theme revoles around the 1, vii°, 5, 1.
Can you play a Chopin prelude and show the pedal use?
I've been playing this too fast. This is much better!
I can't figure out to get the sheet music from your link. Please help.
Coisa maís linda meu Deus ...
Amoooooo esta canción Dios miooo
Is the one in the video found on imslp or is that an arrangement with fingerings
Believe.
I haven’t played piano in years but I so badly want to learn this piece so I might but I keyboard and just do it
Go for it!
Powerfull!!
At the end of the middle section g#-c#-e-a# is too far for my right hand. On the left hand it would be no problem.
Woahhh 7 mins. Guess I've been playing it a little too fast.
Matters, some play it in 5 mins, really the amount of emotion you want in your interpretation, so long as it isn't too fast that it sounds rushed, it's fine
Actually, I think this version is somewhat slow. Could use more momentum in tempo/rubato.
For instance, more like this performance: ruclips.net/video/TuiFvKtNMmo/видео.html
@@frednow You are right. I do prefer this interpretation
🎶🎶🎶👌
Please make a tutorial on debussy's La plus que Lente, i'm having some trouble with it
The melody starting around 4:25 sounds straight out of the first movement of Beethoven's 14th "Moonlight" Sonata (That section is also in the same key). If Fantaisie-Impromptu is based on/inspired by the third movement, is something similar going on here?
Alex Brockwell that's my favorite classical song
I can't say weather it's true, but it's a good theory.
😉
Beethoven inspired Chopin. It was also why Chopin hated the Fantasie-Impromptu since the piece was heavily based on the third movement of Moonlight Sonata Op.14.
I plan to buy a piano or even grand piano in the coming years and I think because they sponsor you, it might very well be a Feurich.

I like the fact you used the slower tempo, Paul, but I feel the major theme lacked a little grace and on the minor part the harmonic pedal kind of “overcharged” given that the melody line is soo low-pitched.
It was awesome you posted this all the same, I still love you as a pianist 😄😊
Not sure about the crescendo 0:18 each time & several ‘rall’ too but otherwise nicely played.
algunos grandes pianistas de todos los tiempos la tocan más rápido y con más ritmo, pero a mí me gusta esta interpretación , como que interpreta mejor la parte central oscura de esta composición.
Will you please do same for requests? I need fingering TERRIBLY for pieces from the score to The Piano: Big My Secret and Main Theme
*"Remember Our Promise, Elster..."*
Это гениально!
Hi Paul, can you play m. moszkowski etude op 72 no. 14? Or any other of this op.
