Love the large phrases of Liszt. While other composers wrote in a four square style, Liszt soared above them and paved way for the impressionists of the music (Debussy for ex.)!
I always connect this piece with the Japanese tsunami some years ago, and the Japanese pianist, tears dropping, as he performed this in remembrance of those lost.
I played Consolations nrs 1 and 3 when I was a teenager piano student. And I remember how proud I felt when these pieces were ready to play for an audience. I had a big time.
I wasn't a pro, I putted a big effort to play Listz's Consolations because these pieces are easy if compared to Transcendental Studies for example. There are many intermediate pieces that a piano studen can play by Liszt, Chopin, Alkan.
The editor's suggestions are terrible. It's supposed to feel as if it's lost without resolution to the Db major key. That way it can move onto the next piece in the Consolation set for some resolution.
What can I say... You play too beautifully 🧡 Thank you so much for playing this dreamy beautiful piece. And I want to tell you that I cried from the beginning till the end listening to you playing ☺️🧡
this was my peace at 15yo with my late piano teacher Ms. Fe' Nava at St. Scholastica's Academy in Pampanga, taught me this piece, i will remember her always..
Thank goodness they didn't have the internet back in the eighteen-hundreds. Franz may have become distracted from watching too much RUclips and missed out composing masterpieces like this one. Thank Paul.
Wonderful performance! Quick question: are you using the sostenuto pedal on all those low d-flats that are tied over from bar to bar in various places?
Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places He’s prob using the harmonic pedal his piano has, which if I understand correctly has both a sostenuto+harmonic function and a sustain+harmonic one.
you probably dont care at all but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Roberto Jaden I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Watch Paul Barton's video tutorial, pay attention to polyrhythm. The most important thing is to feel the music. Anyone who only cares about the rhythm will never learn to play with feeling.
Wish the main melody played over the B double flat chord at 4:00. That chord change sounds so optimistic, would have been an interesting development over the somberness the melody has during the rest of the piece
Sometimes I think the RUclips algorithm can read my mood. I was sad, then it came up with this piece named 'consolation' and guess what it actually worked.
Hi Paul! Your playing is great as always! I'm currently having trouble playing an armenian piece named "Vagarshapat dance" Arranged by A. Babadjanian. I don't have problem with technical difficulties, what bothers me is the dynamic and rubato on the piece which seems out of context sometimes. Can you suggest me how to play it as in your opinion? Thanks!
@YbanBenedict You are right it does sound like Chopin because it has a backstory to it. When Chopin died in 1849 Liszt was absolutely heartbroken, so in order to pay homage to Chopin's life he composed the Consolation no. 3 in which he had taken inspiration from Chopin's Nocturne in D-Flat Major Op. 27 no. 2 . Hope this helps
Horowitz played this at his Moscow recital and he played the lower d-flat at the end to complete the chord. At his level of playing, he could do anything he wanted.
4:06 I can see Liszt saying "Still on the boat? Okay, up the difficulty..." Something tells me he never wanted people to ace a piece buy him, so he added a jump scare.
Can someone explain what time signature this is in? I see common time, but there are 12 8th notes per measure only in the left hand. Edit: nvm they are unmarked triplets
Hahaha when I started playing this piece, I was confused! But since I heard recording, I knew how it should sound. And I interpreted it as kind of HALF triplets in the RIGHT hand! Like in a 6/8 time, when you play 4 quarter notes in one measure. Haha but now I see for the first time that the LEFT hand has triplets. And that makes more sense to me while playing: the left hand has a constant flow, and the right hand breaks in between. That's how it sounds too me.....
Any plans for making a video of Consolation No.2 ? Trying to learn it myself, but seems to not be as popular of a song and its nice to see people's fingering
Update? I would recommend trying your own fingering. I tried it myself for liebestraum no 3 and etude 10 no 3 and it worked perfectly fine. Just play without adding tension to your fingers, maintain a good position and you will feel like youre playing in the clouds. Trust me, I have felt it :D
what´s the deal with tying the bass note from 0:18 to 0:40 , while also writing pedal changes...? Liszt's piano didn´t have a middle pedal did it? Are the pedal markings from the editor or something? Personally I'd probably just hold the pedal down for the whole thing, I like how the harmony blends gradually together as it changes.

Liszt to Debussy to jazz, crazy how that works
Thanos of course
Chopin too
Thank you!
no wonder I love this so much, ever the fan of Impressionism
I remember my father .. He used to play this. I miss you painfully dad 😢
So sorry. But I think it's beautiful you have this piece to remember him by.
@@michaelpsellos2560 Thank you 😊
You're right, I'll always tenderly remember my dad with this beautiful piece ❤️
So sorry to hear about your loss, my condolences to you...
@@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabjithank you 🌻
I miss you too son.

At liszt a piece I could play.
😂😂
That was really forced I’ll give it a 2 out of 4 stars
Andreas RSD LMAO NICE
Hahahh
and then the polyrhythm
I am listening to this consolation in my house with the smell of flowers and coffee.I can feel the peace.
I played Consolations nrs 1 and 3 when I was a teenager piano student. And I remember how proud I felt when these pieces were ready to play for an audience. I had a big time.
You must be a pro, now if when you was teenager was able to play so difficult pieces!
I wasn't a pro, I putted a big effort to play Listz's Consolations because these pieces are easy if compared to Transcendental Studies for example. There are many intermediate pieces that a piano studen can play by Liszt, Chopin, Alkan.
@@millennial8441 is not easy and not intermediate with this difficoult polyrhythmics, congratulation for a teenager that play this!!
@@dummag4126 At those times, my piano teacher said I could play it after some work. She said it was intermediate for me.
A Liszt piece I can play!?!?
Update: I tried...
I would transpose it from Db to D. Much easier to play, and no need to remember to remote key.
@@democraticpatriot2657 Noted! Thanks😊😚
Don't try it, learn it! It can take some time :)
@@TKZprod I am thanks for the encouragement 😘😘 muwahh
this piece really hugs me and console me
Haha yeah, we don't play that bass from the Editor !
How does the editor dare alter the piece?!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that was emil sauer
The editor's suggestions are terrible. It's supposed to feel as if it's lost without resolution to the Db major key. That way it can move onto the next piece in the Consolation set for some resolution.
But it's really wrong !
Foued Chaouche ok I wondered why he didn't play it! Thx for the enlightenment. I've never seen the original music.
What can I say... You play too beautifully 🧡 Thank you so much for playing this dreamy beautiful piece. And I want to tell you that I cried from the beginning till the end listening to you playing ☺️🧡
personally, this piece feels like waking up in the morning the next day after a tragedy and trying to continue living anyway
Oh my word. 💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏
Couldn’t have said it better.
It's exactly that
The Japan Tsunami of 2011
Божественно и нежно... Спасибо
this was my peace at 15yo with my late piano teacher Ms. Fe' Nava at St. Scholastica's Academy in Pampanga, taught me this piece, i will remember her always..
I see this, Chopin's Op.27/2, and Lyapunov's Nocturne as musical cousins. Great vid (as always), Paul!
had never heard of the last one yet it's beautiful...
It also reminded me to that pice. Both beautiful.
I heard that this piece, written a year after Chopin death, was a tribute to him
Hi Paul, can’t wait to see u play La campanella. You have the best interpretation of Un sospiro for me.. thanks for gifting us your talent 🥰😘
2:25 So beautiful
I never heard listz before today, love it.
My son used this music to read and study. I missing him!He goes on death.
Taciana Assuncao :(
I'm sorry for your loss🥺
Peace and comfort to you.
힘내세요
eu sinto muito pela perda
Beautiful! That makes me feel have a flower perfume. Smooth and elegant.
The most piano Liszt piece I've heard.
Wow! I was expecting the Liszt bravado to happen any moment. And it.... just didn't! And yet so beautiful!
Wonderful performance of such a beautiful piece.
This piece sounds somehow sad....but beautiful
Yes it was composed after his friend chopin died
@@p-y8210 Yeah, and it's even based on his Nocturne Op 27 No 2. At least the begininng of it!
Delicata lieve come una piuma dolce e lievemente malinconica interpretata in un modo impeccabile 💋❤️
Unusual for a piece by Liszt to be this easy.
Beautifully played. It inspires me to get it back out & make it better!
The harmonic pedal sounds amazing on D flat Major.
Thank goodness they didn't have the internet back in the eighteen-hundreds. Franz may have become distracted from watching too much RUclips and missed out composing masterpieces like this one.
Thank Paul.
this is an amazing song and i aspire to play it! Thanks for the motivation! Your interpretation is just amazing!!

que bonito esta no la conocia del todo - me gusta
Liszt is hard and only virtuosos can play his music
Also Liszt:
It's not that easy cause of the polyrhythm in my opinion
@@Prkwydrv compared to Liszt's other compositions though... but yeah, certain polyrhythms can be a nightmare...
@@Prkwydrv Also the musicality.
@@atmadeepmukherjee5550 yeah the main thing in this piece
CUANTA BELLEZA LA MUSICA EL TALENTO ES ALGO DIVINO Y MAJESTUOSO
I could liszten to you play that all day Paul. Such a sublimely beautiful piece.
It's like Chopin's D flat nocturne. But less complete.
Just because it starts it Db major doesn’t make it the same you prick
@@MehdiD.Ardebili lmao what
Daniel Ard It’s very similar: key, similar left hand pattern, similar mood
Did you really just say Db what is wrong with you
@@scubacertified this is most definitely in Db major, look at the staff

Liszt: I see, none of you can play my pieces, huh?
*writes a piece called consolation to console me*
Me: Tries to play this piece, and gives up
one of my most fav pieces.
Brings back some memories ... thanks Maestro
Where's the elephant?

Al llegar al vacío ; si esta composición de siempre, la disfrutamos, entonces;podremos dudar del vacío
As delicate as a flower. Wonderful.
Thank you Paul Borton for sharing this video with us Beautiful & Wonderful Inspiring muisc memories of my childhood
🎹 Update 10/30/2018 🎹
Paul, bless you and thanks a lot♥️✨
Very technically challenging piece.Played beautifully
technically challenging?
@@cobblie8789 rythm is hard
also dominating dynamics
really intriguing how the left hand and right hand play the eight notes on vastly different tempos yet always resolve beautifully
Paul, please make a tutorial of Debussy's Valse La Plus que Lente!
I played this at my school, good piece
Stunning. Thank you
Wish the main melody played over the B double flat chord at 4:00. That chord change sounds so optimistic, would have been an interesting development over the somberness the melody has during the rest of the piece
Tem que ser muito genial para compor uma maravilha assim. SUPERLATIVA
thank you very much Paul! I am studying this piece, and your video is of great help to achieve a good interpretation.
Amazing! Wonderful performance, Paul!
Beautiful. Thank you for that experience
Wow ! Paul, deep sensitivity
Sometimes I think the RUclips algorithm can read my mood. I was sad, then it came up with this piece named 'consolation' and guess what it actually worked.
Would you ever consider doing the other five? The whole set isn't played enough, I have no doubt you'd do them all justice!
I would love to hear the first.
Funny you mention that - I learned this piece and just ordered the Henle edition of all the consolations.
Hi Paul! Your playing is great as always!
I'm currently having trouble playing an armenian piece named "Vagarshapat dance" Arranged by A. Babadjanian.
I don't have problem with technical difficulties, what bothers me is the dynamic and rubato on the piece which seems out of context sometimes. Can you suggest me how to play it as in your opinion? Thanks!
why does it sound like chopin?????? not liszt.....
Hilarious right? That's Liszt Consolation's for you.

Horowitz played this at his Moscow recital and he played the lower d-flat at the end to complete the chord. At his level of playing, he could do anything he wanted.

4:06 I can see Liszt saying "Still on the boat? Okay, up the difficulty..."
Something tells me he never wanted people to ace a piece buy him, so he added a jump scare.
Congratulations on making the news.
thanks very much Paul ! ❤
Très très bien joué 👍
Gorgeous!
Does sobbing and goosebumps go together? i can attest to it right now.
Can someone explain what time signature this is in? I see common time, but there are 12 8th notes per measure only in the left hand.

Yea those unmarked triplets(sometimes something else)in Lizst pieces are sooo confusing... Also its usually clustered so you gotta do the match

Exquisite, Paul
The bass note at the begining is made with the medium pedal ?
Liebestraum no.3 + Un sospiro = Consolation no.3
Amazing.
GRACIAS. 🇲🇽🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎹
Using the right hand for the bass note when the hand is free. How did I not ever think of that?
Verrukkelijke muziek en ook zo gespeeld
Beautiful💐💐💐
Beautiful~😢😭
Beautiful, Paul, just beautiful
Lovely!
I tried to learn it but the rhythm between the right and left hand is so damn confusing 😭

I see your playing for elephants has made the Drudge Report!
Consola a alma
HOW CAN I REACH ONE OCTAVE WITH FIRST AND THIRD FINGER......I CAN'T..
Hah I can reach one octave with first and third finger with no problem.
I can barely reach octave with my first and fifth Fingers... And I'm a full grown adult... Struggle is real..
Václav Salač I can reach 10th with thumb and second finger, not very comfortably at all but it counts lmao
Liszt would play this with one hand.
Rod Salvador cough*finger*cough
I studied liszt some in college (consolation no. 5), I had to be very selective of his compositions due to my hand size
what´s the deal with tying the bass note from 0:18 to 0:40 , while also writing pedal changes...? Liszt's piano didn´t have a middle pedal did it? Are the pedal markings from the editor or something?
