The order of “12 Short Preludes” differs between editions. In this video series, the 12 Preludes are ordered in the way they are traditionally performed and recorded.
*Please note: The edition I used in this recording is the “Universal Edition” edited by Julius Rontgen. In the preface it states: “The short preludes and fugues are here given exactly according to the edition of the Bach society of 1886. Bach’s text contains no marks for tempo, expression or fingering. The few exceptions are noted where they occur”.
The American edition of Theodore Presser Co. featured above the keyboard in this video, was edited by Preston Ware Orem and is public domain, a necessary requirement for an online video such as this. Occasionally notes vary in this edition from my own edition, especially ornamentation.

You deserve a thank you !
Garrett, thank you so much, it's pinned to the top.
Thank you so much🎶

Thank you so much
I am addicted to Johann Sebastian Bach.
I think his compositions are the beginning and the end of music.
I want to master some of these "12 kleine Präludien".
I never get tired even if I repeat some two bars of J.S. Bach for several minutes.
I know exactly what you mean. It's almost as if, after Bach (okay maybe after Beethoven) there is nothing more to say.
@@davidroux7987 I adore Bach too, but always found this a strange thing to say. Chopin, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, etc certainly had more to say. They were the natural evolution of piano.
@@zak2659 Its just the period and the writing rules that changed, baroque were using melodic and counterpoint rules, classic and romantic harmonic rules
but Bach sound so heavenly
also the period made it, composing for church
Wow. A trip back in time. What memories. Thanks.
The third prelude is my favourite
Of course
I like number 8
@@arthursparks-topic860 it's amazing
@@ahmedsalim3453 yeah. I really like them and aim to learnthem
Yeah that bass line…
Bach and Barton - perfection!
Paul Barton is so perfect!
So precise, so accurate and so virtuostic!
Keep it up, Paul
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Regards from India
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Same, Indian here too
Agreed
Thank you Paul, it's a really beautiful collection of masterpieces in miniature brought to life. I find that you have a real knack for separating the voices in the same way as gifted singers do. You make it look so effortless and the music seems to float.
I love to listen to Bach in Paul's performance. This is something absolutely unrepeatable. :)
Perfect timing Paul, I just purchased the book for the 12 Short Preludes.
Superb performance!
Thank you!
Thank you! They're really lovely preludes to play - hope you enjoy them too.
@@PaulBartonPiano Paul who is your favorite composer for the piano?
Thanks Paul.
It was a pleasure to watch this video.
I admired your hand positions among others. ❤🎹🎶🎼🎵
Paul, the consistent beauty and diversity of your phrasing is simply out of this world. Thank you for the music!
Thank you so much David, you are very kind.
Why you chnge the rhythm at the first prelude? You start slow and then at the end you almost double the speed.
Thank you for this recording, Paul! I visit this once every couple of days :)
Catchy Bach! Some of these Short Preludes would be a perfect Intro to some Epic Chanson or Ballad ..
this is a fantastic recording. I direct all my students to listen to this when they start learning. THANK YOU!!
I think that is wise of you
Paul , your piano teacher must have given you lots of Bach to work on in your early years of piano tuition.
Another wonderful performance Paul. Who are these people pressing the thumbs down?.. They should be highlighted in green to indicate envy. Your hands move effortlessly over the keys. I love your style of playing. How can one person be so talented as a pianist and artist?
There are people on youtube who dislike every single video they see just for the sake of it
Paul, I have been following you for some time on other wordly aspects of your life but it was only when my son needed to practice these preludes that I found your informative videos. So, thank you for spending your valuable time creating them.
After finishing this project, you must have something next on your list to do. What's next in terms of recording? What composers? I would love to see you record some more Rachmaninoff or Mozart or more Scriabin.
I thought my subscribers might like a piece of Chopin with a tutorial, so have started practicing the Scherzo 2, as it's been occasionally requested in the past. Haven't played it for a very long time. After that, Beethoven's Pathetique and Moonlight sonatas. If I can, also with tutorials. Also, finish the Debussy Preludes book 2 and an extra-slow tempo recording of Schumann's Papillons for a blind pianist in USA that learns classical pieces by ear this way. We are in the mountains with the elephants this week, it's our daughter Emilie's 5th birthday, so big party tonight :) Take care and greetings to you from all of us over here in Thailand.
some of the best music I've listened to
Awesome...genius...I can't believe how many pieces you have on RUclips...Astounding !!!
Grazie x l'esecuzione di questi pezzi magnifici, seppur brevi.
L'arminia prende sempre , scatenando emozioni varie.
Ho 70 anni. Ho ripreso a suonare dopo 52 anni di interruzione . Ho riiniziato proprio da questi pezzi , x me non facili. Mi hanno riavviato. Grazie ancora. Mi sembra di capire che anche a Lei piacciono molto. 👏
É impressionante como parece tão fácil tocar ao ver alguém que domina o instrumento! Parabéns!
Thank you Paul Barton.
Thank you J.S. Bach.
Excellent! My warmest thanks to the person who has posted it here.
Bravo! You are the best piano teacher of the RUclips.
I agree, Stephanie
The way you play is great! I love the number 8 and 9. Thanks for sharing
I've listened to a few different performances of this set of preludes. Until hearing this one I'd always been inclined to pass most of them over, as being a bit disappointing, lesser pieces (BWV999 excepted). But your renditions really bring them alive. You've inspired me to want to learn them all myself. Thank you!
This brings me great memories from when I was learning piano around '93 , I didn't play them all (or that well) but I liked them so much I learned a few just for myself. Good times good times.
A great addition to your performance of Bach's Inventions and Sinfonias
Thank you, Perry.
Thanks i like thé fact that you play rather slowly enabling us to well hear the subtilities and the dialogue.
Excellemment interprété : une vraie finesse, un pur bonheur, un toucher ferme et délicat, Bach doit sourire de bonheur.
Thank you for sharing, Mr. Barton! Excellent work!

Paul you're brilliant and a loss to the East Riding of Yorkshire
You are really talented.Man you have an extreme musical and visual intelligence.I love your drawings.Pls play Saint-Sаens next time🎹🦁
Paul has an impressive range of repertoire!
There's six more that was not included in that collection. But they are part of that collection "Sechs kleinen praludien" - "Six small preludes"
This isn't real piano.. wheres all the flashy lights and glow sticks
Burch Haha ikr... in a decade or two from now I swear non-piano players will think those toys are the real pianos with how much they’re all over the internet 😂
😆
Lol
@@kgsin3592 WHO TF LAUGHS LIKE THAT THATS LIKE GOING “hahahahahahahahahahaha” BORING ASL💀🥷🏿🔥
@@Sillycat120cry about it
Really enjoyed these, especially your approach to BWV 941 in E minor. No doubt it won't please Bach purists, but it is a beautiful interpretation and how I've always enjoyed playing the piece. The same goes for the G Minor 929. Thanks.
A Bach purist would demand a clavi- or harpsichord performance
thanks Paul, this pieces give an energy and a vision, playing them, incomparable. sometimes almost futuristic :-) I dont know but they transport me foating in the space
Simplesmente perfeito! Quanta inspiração!
Excellent performances and interpretations! These are some of my favorite pieces. They have some unusual, spicy, harmonies and really clever thematic development. I have the publication of these in this order. I've played them all my life. But, since my copy is so worn out and missing pages, I attempted to buy an updated printing. I couldn't find the exact one, but I found one that I thought was the same. This new one has 11 of your preludes but has the addition of a few pieces (931, 943, 902a and 902,) and is missing BWV 929, 947, and some that I can't find BWV numbers for.
Love your playing
I was interested in finding out who taught Paul, and he is an artist. He studied at the Royal Academy of Arts and is an award winning painter. He was a gifted piano player, but didn't want to go down the concert pianist route, and became a teacher and a You Tube interpreter. And we are all the better for it.
Paul, thanks for doing this. I was inspired to learn two of these songs because of your video. I have a question about one anomaly. In #9 (at 9:15), the 8th note on the bass clef (of the measure that’s in the center of the screen) is written as a B and your left hand is also playing that B, but we hear a D in the audio. Are we hearing a harmonic, did that area get incorrectly overdubbed, or something else happened?
Wow!! Once again you've amazed me, Paul. Did you start playing as a child? Thank you
great achievement thank you for sharing such a valuable work and videos. how do you achieve that reverb sound? do you use software sound assistance to your videos production?
I love Bach!
Maravilhoso, como sempre ! Parabéns !
Great playing, Great video thanks 😊👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶
Somehow, it doesn't seem to sound as in the key that it is written in. Is that my failing me?
Hey Paul, it any posibility you record Sweelinck fantasias or variations?
I need to learn some of these! So pretty!
Fantastic! Thanks Paul!
After my 60 years of playing -and then seeing how good this guy is ( plus I’ve always sucked at reading ) -I’m giving up.
Bach and C minor always hit me hard
Belíssimo! Bravo! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
3학년 1학기 동기들이 연주하는 바흐 프랑스조곡이 상쾌하게 울려퍼지던 오전 연습실 풍경이 떠올라서 울컥ㅠㅠ 여전히 너무 좋은데 내 손은 많이 굳었네
I was expecting to see Invention #13 here but will look for it on another playlist.
interesting. i enjoy short works like that. wanna get to perform it.
Sounds great! Nice format.
I was extremely impressed by the 11th one
Thank you !
Браво!!!
Bravo! Awesome!
this is so awesome
Hi Paul, can I ask where you got the sheet music you displayed in this video? It’s different from the one you linked in the description. It’s easier for me to study because it shows the notes of the trills and mordents. Thanks
The execution of the trills and mordents in the shown score of the video are just one possible way of interpreting them. Also, if you look carefully, you'll notice that Paul Barton does not play all of these ornaments very truly as they are notated. (Some "Doppelt-Cadence und Mordant" that are indicated for attack from above, for example, he plays with attack from below. Or he even fits four triplets into 4/16 notes etc.) And to make it even more confusing: Even the symbols of the ornaments in the score do not always correspond to the notated suggestion for execution in the score! (There are some "Doppelt-Cadence und Mordant"s notated with attack from below while the execution is notated with attack from above, for example.)
So, to sum it up, we need to play these ornamentations with some grain of liberty. It is good to take reference from the examples given by father Johann himself to son Wilhelm - but even them are not completely consistent in logic!
It is very frustrating, I know, but in the end we need to find a good, artistic way on our own with these ornaments.
6:30 why the added f#?
Dios, cuantas voces! Tengo que tocar una de estas obras y ya me esta dando miedito
Will you be doing the fugues next? I really enjoyed the preludes. We have started working on them during my lessons.
Yes, and the 6 prelude set too. Good luck with them, they are really enjoyable to play.
Beautiful!
That is beautiful ❤️
No 6 (bwv 940) is nice 👏👏
I started to learn a few of these but never got very far - I can't work out how to bring the left and right hands together and I'm just too slow, it's like my brain and fingers can't work together except at a very slow tempo.
im playing the 3rd one currently.. its really nice
Same
I am delighted to be reminded that fugue writing is alive and well in the 21st centuary
I played the fast one in F when I was younger
How do you keep your right hand touch so light in the 999? I've played it before and I would tire my hands out before finishing the piece once.
I don't really care what Glenn Gould says ,I think that a modicum of sustain pedal helps some of these pieces no end. They become a bit dry without it.
1:12 super
I love that one too
Wow that was quick
Eu toquei algumas música desse livro mas o nome do meu livro era: 23 peças fáceis de Bach 😊
Good job!
In the allemande of 1st french suite you finish with Dminor when the score explicit says Dmajor. Now, in the 6st prelude you finhish with a Dmajor when the score says Dminor. It's crazy, but I like! In the second example, for me sounds a lot better!
4:42
1:54 ❤
Why do you ignore those slurs in the beginning of 2nd prelude?
6:31 F# on the right hand ? Score show natural F, right ?
Very nice😍❤️
Interpretación magistral 👏👏👏👏👏
01:54 like this one sounds different
Gems that are hardly played
GREAT! THANKS!
I played this in b minor for my piano recital
1:00
9:50
No 9 is super fun.
How hard are those preludes to learn?
I'm pretty new to the piano (2 years) and can't really judge difficulty well, yet.
Am taking a break because of tendovaginitis and would really like to use (some of) these as technical exercises once I'm better, as I deem my technique as one of the main reasons for the inflammations and this seems like a good idea.
Am I wrong?
Have fun with them. Some are simple others are difficult. But the best approach is to pick out the ones you like a lot first. Some are short but most are just 2 pages only. These are creatively brilliant but not unfriendly for beginners to learn.
Can you do the fuguetthas?
My teacher gave me this for the next week, i had to play the no 1, it's so hard for me because i never played this tipe of piece, when i saw you playing this i was like: did you practice 40 hours a day?
Ling Ling would be proud. #40HourDaysForLife
@@ethanromain1928 yes, but i don't have perfect pitch
This advice not only go with no. 1 but also the rest of Bach's keyboard pieces (ex. Invention, Well tempered Clavier)
Be familiar the ornaments first. I suggest you start with trills and mordent. Then, analyze the chord progressions of the piece. Bach is known as using "simple" chords to construct and deliver the piece. Last but not least, Be familiar with the modulation of the piece. This tremendously help with how each pieces were constructed. Good luck!!
