- Liszt's "Un Sospiro - Version 2" is played at slightly faster tempo than "Version I" and has full cadenza 2:
"Version 1" is played at a moderate-ish tempo and features my own "ossia cadenza 2": • Liszt “Un Sospiro” VER...
"Version 3" has full cadenza 2 and 4 extra bars after cadenza 2, which Liszt added in his own performances in his latter years: • Liszt “Un Sospiro” VER...

My dream is to have this level of playing one day...

I tried this one, about 18 years ago. Memorized about 2 bars and gave up. Ha! Recently, I buckled down and took 5 months to learn Liebestraum no. 3. Now, I'm wondering how Un Sospiro compares in difficulty. This is one of the best piano songs ever.
Liebestraum is also a very beautiful and hard piece
I've got a video posted of it, if you care to listen. I could definitely stand to practice it more and record another take.
i just watched it. not gonna lie i listened a lot to kissin's version and got used to it, so your interpretation sounded average at best. That said, you still made it through with very few mistakes, which is already an achievement by itself, so congrats.
I hope you realize that you have the ability to change lives with your music. Don't stop. Your performance of this piece is helping me through a really difficult time in my life.
same, i keep coming back to this when i need beauty/hope/strenght/happiness/dreams after losing a loved one at a young age last year. This is the only piece that really takes me to another mental world I didn't know existed. Thank you Paul, Thank you Franz.
Jesus loves you! "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, say on the Lord " Psalm 27:14

MR. Legend? He has 7 hands, only way to explain
Yes I agree
Rachmaninoff's first lullaby
@-insert forgettable name- what's your favorite rachmaninoff's piece ?
@@Soapmactavish869 Prelude in Bb major op23 and Etude in D minor op33
Excuse me, what ever you name is, this is Liszt, not Ramchinoff!!!!
@@IEEMAZ_Convoluted_14.2.8.5 Let's just say when Rachmaninoff' played this, he made zero hand crossings.
Okay
That is some of the best piano playing I have ever heard. Just blown away. Sheer virtusoic brilliance coupled with some of the most emotional chord sequences and harmony I've ever heard.. truly sublime and classy playing. Just breathtaking.
YOUR HANDS ARE HUGE AND I'M REALLY JEALOUS I WISH OCTAVES DIDN'T HURT TO PLAY
also this is very lovely; good job
those are not large hands whaat
i can reach a 10th(barely) which is normal handspan and im not having issues learning this
Pro QBr I can reach an octave...with struggle
@@kathleenleonemakesmusic wait...ur handspan is that short?! I kinda feel bad for you cuz how are you gonna play chords stretching beyond an octave
@@pleasecontactme4274 I roll them or try to play them with both hands...somehow I managed to get my college degree in piano performance without reaching above an octave lol
I noticed in bar 9 you are missing the second note of the phrase (A natural) in the left hand and electing to let the first hold over. Obviously it makes no difference to the sound of the performance but as somebody who is planning on studying this piece next at what point/speed did you decide to do that? Is it generally acceptable to employ that throughout the piece on occasion? Thank you for your brilliant performance.
This is phenomenal!! I first heard this composition in the 1960 movie "Song without End," starring Capucine and Dirk Bogarde, when I was 20 years old. 60 years later I find it on RUclips, and it is more beautiful than ever. Barton's touch is magnificent, almost mystical. I bought the soundtrack on audio tape (no idea where it is now). It was an emotionally moving film when Liszt leaves his bevy of lovers to use his music in service to God and his Church. "Un Sospiro" was the closing music to the film. I will never be able to play this myself. (Until I get to Heaven.) Thank you, Paul Barton.
Paul this is one the best versions ive heard to date.....love it
Everyone butchers this piece except for paul. I swear, this is the only good recording
I'm currently on grade two, playing like this is still beyond my wildest dreams!
Hi Aaron, you might like to try this simplified version: ruclips.net/video/fMD6OjeAQqg/видео.html
Thanks Paul! Hope the family are all well
how are your studies hoing? :D
@@andrewla188 limited due to covid sadly :(
@@aaronlee2240 How much do you practice per day? :)
I love how the hands seems to dance across the keyboard
Beautiful, just lulls me to sleep. I hope to reach this level of playing one day. Thank you Paul :)
I still don't understand, this version has the same cadenza as version 1 or have I missed something?
That’s what I’m wondering too, honestly
@Adel Eng Sheng Jun Student huh? No..?
Under the video we can read "Liszt's "Un Sospiro - Version 2" is played at slightly faster tempo than "Version I" and has full cadenza 2: "
"A sigh" is the perfect title for this beautiful peice.
Hey Paul, I'm a long time fan and I always wanted to ask you a few things
Q1: This is one of my favorites pieces and it is thanks to you that I found it. But is virtuosity that important for a pianist? I found myself thinking I'd be never good enough as i am not genius.
Q2: Is it too late for someone to master any instrument?
Q3: And as fan of classical music, what is the key of interpreting a piece? Is it only the indication left by the composer or maybe its context and background history ?
A1: Piano technique is necessary to interpret piano music. You can be good enough at the piano - or anything else - if you work hard enough. As Horowitz said "You've just got to want to".
A2: No, it's never too late to do anything you set your mind to.
A3: In my view a pianist should aim to recreate music in the way she or he thinks the composer intends the music to be played. It's not so very different to reading a story to a listener. It's not so important how fast you read the words when telling a story, the important thing is the colour and expression in your voice. And, if that is true, that means every single piece of piano music, no matter how simple or how complex, is a story just waiting an invitation to be told.
sTaxX to answer question 3, the music can be played not only by what the composer marked on the music, add a bit of your touch if that makes sense. Perhaps take beethovens moonlight sonata the first movement. It has such a great interpretation of sadness. If you put it this way when you begin to play the part after the arpeggios the sfortzando part, you can thiink of it as if ghe first time someone didnt understand you and the second time you repeat it louder as in "hear me out!" And the third time think of it as if you just give up abecause they wouldn't understand you. At the end of the first movement the right hand melody becomes the left hand melody so think of that as an after thought that just keels reminding you that nobody understands. Hope this helps :)
Its never to late to master an instrument as long as you have another ten years to work at it!
To the third question, I think that it's good to play a piece as you feel the composer intended the piece to be played, but I think that you should also try to put your own feelings and emotions into a piece as well. When I play a piece I start out by playing it entirely as it is written and then once the piece becomes second nature to me I'll start to make small changes regarding tempo, emotion, dynamics, etc to fit the way I feel as I'm playing it. I could play a piece one day a certain way then a different way the next, it entirely depends on the mood I'm feeling at the time of playing. It's like making a cover of a famous song; yes, you should try to keep similar to the original, but also try to personalize and make it your own. Nobody wants to hear the same thing regurgitated over and over, it's best to have your own individual interpretation of music. A lot of classical musicians will disagree, but in my opinion that's what makes music so emotional and personal to each individual person.
@@PaulBartonPiano That's awesome...
this piece literally touches my soul as if acetaminophen relieves the pain
Very impressive and inspiring.
Is playing the piano a passionate hobby for you or your job?
konspiratzailea its his hobby.
Yes, hobby.
Unbelievable.
So what's your profession, Paul?
You do so much on RUclips, it's really impressive.
I am an artist, that's my profession and always has been. I really like music too, but that's been something I do just for pleasure.
Have you played this for the elephants? I can see them gently swaying as they listen....
I am attempting to learn this piece after a long (6 year) break from playing piano at all really. I'm at a level where I could play it (when I quit I was, not now but I'm working back there), my question is, how long did it take you to perfect this piece (in your eyes)?
The sound of your piano and this piece is so beautiful
have you ever tried hungarian rhaspody no 2?
Fantastic work! Thanks for all your tutorials. I've learned quite a lot from you!
This piece will be my next project.
I decided to start learning this, and this is a great reference interpretation! You played it perfectly with clarity and I'm just really impressed with it! Keep up the amazing playing!
3:10 the high C is supposed to be natural not sharp. Same bar and the natural was not cancelled.
Possibly... ruclips.net/video/uUbA6JmrF38/видео.html
What is the different between version 1 and 2 ?
Tempo, emotion. Personally I adore the second one
A magical piece. Great performance!
amazing, fluid, well done
0:40 you play a C instead of a A in both versions, is this normal ?
such a wonderful piece, one of my favorites. You can tell he was buddies with Chopin, a lot of connections in this piece.
:D
Definitely finger gymnastics. Great job. Thanks for your wonderful music.
Aside from the phenomenal performance, this piano sounds so rich and resonant especially in the mid tones.
anyone else noticed that at sec. 0:40 he plays a C instead of an A?
That's supposed to be a C. It's in bass clef.
@Daniel Lukjanov He's talking about the first note in the left hand at 0:40.
Yeah i noticed the as well, but fun fact. I also play the c instead of a xD
Noah its written as c a es f, and he plays c c es f
@@Noah-wv4td Im talking about the left hand
This is God speaking through such a talented soul. Amazing!
Great song, would love to chat about licensing this song. I reached out via your website form. Thanks! :)
You're unique Paul!!!! Thank you...you made my day!!!! So I'll listen to it again tomorrow ;) Hugs!
Thank you for all your help....Anxiously awaiting for the tutorial to this piece.
I honestly love all of your performances. It's very obvious that you put a lot of effort into every song such that every note is played with the proper style, tempo, and dynamics that was intended. Keep up the great work. And please make more videos with you wife singing, she has a heavenly voice
Liszt was one cool cat. Paul plays beautifully.
Amazing, best version of this. Although at 0.43 is he playing a C instead of an A natural on the way up and down with the LH? Am I hearing/seeing/reading that wrong?
Bonjour Meister !!! Ne voudrais tu pas nous jouer PAVANE POUR UNE INFANTE DÉFUNTE ? That will be a pleasure for us ☺️
Phenomenal rendition of this wonderful étude by Liszt. I studied it a long time ago, but never made it towards the end. I know pianist comedian Victor Borge played I very well too!🎹👍
god damn...! your hand movements are so graceful
What is the best way to learn a piece like this? Playing each line over and over ? Paying a page over and over ? Asking for myself in 5 years..
Heavily depends on your skill. Typically you go measure by measure and chain a couple measures together whilst slowly upping the speed. Sometimes certain passages just click naturally.
Quelle virtuosité......On dirait Claudio Arrau...Superbe !!!
Wow !! Magnifique Paul ! Me voilà encore impressionné par ton grand talent !
Liszt would appeeciate this performance!! Perfect Paul!!
version 2 is better
I love how proud and strong this composition sounds
so damn beautiful and passionate. what a wonderful solo in the middle too...i forgot the technical term. when yiu see all the miniature notes... i guess he did it twice.
i love this performance, amazing job, i hope to play the piano so good as you one day 🎹❤️
This is an inspiration to me. I don't play at that level yet, but I don't see why without lots of work, I couldn't do this. Love it. Want to make these sounds. I got my grade 8 when I was 14, starting all over again from grade 3 after decades of not playing. Now at grade 5. I can get there.
Beautiful x1000000000000000000000
At 2:08 paul you play the second section for both repetitions! Why not play it as written
Hopefully my son Adyson can playing this song ..
Herry Budi But don't force him to
first time i ever heard... really love it. Great fantasia.
whats the difference between this version and the first one? I couldnt see any
Ricardo O. He included the full second cadenza in this take.
I think there must be a mistake -- both of these are identical versions. I have played this piece for 20 years and know every alternate version and optional cadenza. I actually played the two videos side by side and compared the performances and scores. They are the same.
L B exactly! I play it too, he uploaded the same video. There is another version of this song, but both videos are the same.
Yeah, from memory there are around 4 additional passages that can be played after the second cadenza, and indeed, they can be strung together and work well as an alternate opening for the piece. And of course, there is the majestic alternative ending that brings to light the whole tone scale, which underpins many sections of this work. And I think some new material was discovered recently. I know there is a new edition of this work being prepared by the Liszt Society for publication, which plans to include all alternative music and possible versions. Most of Liszt's music has many versions as he always evolved the score and continuously revised the works before publishing them, and sometime revised them many times after publishing them.
I never said he uploaded the same video. I said he played the same versions from the score, and they sound the same when you play them side by side. Slight difference in tempo, but am very unsure what is supposed to be different.If you could write out what is different, that would be good.
So beautiful! Made me cry!
Wow
Did you study piano in college?
This was beautiful. Well done.
You have nice hands.
Can you make a tutorial how to practice the scale on 16th or 17th measure?
Liszt!
Hermoso =D
WoW! Paul... This is awesome! Love this piece
This piece are making me tears
2:09 is the best part
I think it is also the hardest
I like those fluid arpeggios. Good work!
Nice interpretation. Quick question, why did you change the A to a C on the left hand in the 9 meassure? From which copyist house is it?. Thanks
Beautiful playing! Thank you!
beautiful
feels rushed, had to lower the playback spped to .75 to make it more gentle... amazing playing though
M’y cat and me we lové this
You played it beautifully, Paul. Now I understand why it's titled "un Suspiro".
🎹👍🏻
The sheet music is NOT in the US public domain. I plan to learn this magnificent work~~ it will push my piano playing to the limits for sure.....
Beautiful …. Sitting by the ocean listening to this …..
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Wonderful,,,,
Beautiful - intense and yet relaxing. I actually prefer the first version with the slightly slower tempo, as it breathes better and feels more like "un sospiro".
amazing, beautifully done. wish i could do that...unbelievable
I can do this in one day
If there is word I can say I think it's your one among amazing pianist ....if it's possible my wish it's for you to do a video tutorial for that song explaining each details and rules ...again thanks in advance for the cover and please don't feel pressured just consider it if you got the time to do so!! Stay blessed buddy!!
Lol wtf is happening - seeing his fingers move so effortlesly on the piano.. you inspired me to start playing piano!
1:54 jesus christ liszt at least keep the best part of the song alone
what do you mean?
Still, what the hell do you mean?
Chuck Norris, you are annoying
at 2:12, why did you repeat those little notes, im not specific, and its my own habit, but why leav it in?
Ich finde deine Performances immer so schön! Ich würde so spielen. Zwar habe ich mich an der Uni 3 Jahre dem Klavier gewidmet, aber seit 2015 spiele nicht. Ich habe mein Klavier verkaufen müssen! 😥
so beautiful
Amazing Mr Barton! Speechless...
Sublime! Thank you for sharing this, Sir. ❤
I see a difference in tempo. I don't see any difference in cadenza 2 from version 1.
Wunderbar, fantastisch, genial, danke Paul
Grüße aus Germany
I don't see the difference between this and version 1 albeit maybe a bit faster.
Even the thought of playing this hurt my brain. Beautiful to listen to though.
Liszt is small hand-ist. What am I supposed to do with these reaches
WOW......... WOW...
So clear
Best part 3:45
Cual es la diferencia con la versión 1
👏👏 Браво!!!
How do you put a RUclips video on repeat?
