'Danse Macabre' Saint-Saëns with Harmonic Pedal - P. Barton, FEURICH piano

- With Halloween in mind, here's a track from a CD & DVD recorded for FEURICH - Vienna & La Pédale Harmonique, Paris. Album title "Virtuoso Piano Music with the Harmonic Pedal". CD includes Liszt's "La Campanella", "Gnomenreigen" + works by Prokofiev etc. DVD video production in association with Thai Television featuring GoPro 3.
For those that kindly expressed interest in purchasing a FEURICH CD or DVD, I'll post details on my facebook music page when they are available: / paulbartonpiano Other harmonic pedal piano CDs in production include Vivaldi "The Four Seasons".
In this video I colour highlighted the score to show which of the harmonic pedal effects is used at any given time. It is general and doesn't show pedal release etc. The graphics in this video are available from the Danse Macabre album on my facebook piano page (link above)
The T. Riiter piano score featured in this video has numerous bars highlighted in red circles which indicate intentional omissions on my part.
Download Ritter's transcription in the Public Domain (free) imslp.org/wiki/...
See the "Arrangements and Transcriptions" tab. This is the first recording of Danse Macabre with the harmonic pedal.
For an easier but still awesome arrangement of Danse Macabre see "H. Cramer" PDF (free download) available from the same link above.
The 4th harmonic pedal only is used in this recording. This allows resonance around staccato notes, additional colours mixed with una corda, a fast action sostenuto and the sustain, when required. - เพลง
3:13 - 3:45 HOW SO BUBBLY? Seriously that's amazing. One of my favourite things I've heard ever.
4:33 goodness gracious, that's gotta be the *MOST BEAUTIFUL* run I've ever seen HOLYYY
Honestly, I wasn't amazed by the Harmonic Pedal through all your videos but that passage from 3:12 to 3:37... Being able to play triplets without the sustain pedal and not sounding dry is just amazing !
Awesome performance !
Paul this is one of the most incredible performances I have ever heard.
I don’t think ye played it
This was incredible. If I had only seen the score without hearing you play the piece, I would have thought it was impossible to play it with such precision, at such a speed and with so many subtle dynamics. I'm so glad you're on TH-cam!
dude...

Your playing is breathtaking, Paul, Thanks for posting it!!
You love this composition. We feel it! Thanks a lot.
An absolute masterpiece of Saint-Saëns in a great transcription for piano.
I like Ritter's version (this one) much more than Liszt's. In Liszt's, every climax is just buried under all the needless decorations. This one's just as complex, yet its point is much clearer.
The Computer Dude I totally agree, it is the one time that I feel Liszt transcription was inferior
The Computer Dude yes totally Liszt was great but i prefer the more "original" version as well (for me it sounds much more like the original piece for orchestra)
The Computer Dude I strongly agree
I still prefer the orchestra, this piece in the piano feels empty somehow.
Indeed, I mean, decoration is not bad, but it mustn't be used to such an extent that it takes from the pleasure of music.
I can just feel the madness of dancing skeletons in the moonlight, bravo!
The first omissions did add that extra sense of doom, with the space u gave it
You cannot play this without having dedicated your entire life to the piano.
devilsden as someone who’s been playing for almost 15 years now this song is extremely hard, let alone to play it at this level of interpretation
Interesting. After 10 years of no practice on the piano, this was the second piece I played followed by the piano arrangement of “Howl’s Moving Castle Theme.” I don’t think it’s entirely true that you need to dedicate your whole life to the piano.
The liszt version is most hard is very harder
5 years more than enough
@@haaggus fun fact: most of the HRs are easy in technical difficulty
also chopin etudes are mainly about technique...so even the etudes are not insane apart from few like op25 no6 or op10 no4
Truly amazing pedaling, dynamics, and staccatos, one of the best Performances I have ever heard.
So Crisp
and clear 5:55
This looks even more brutal than it sounds. You're underrated Paul!
bravissimo sehr schön.¨!!!!!!!!
Great! I was looking for a version like this on youtube, more true to Saint Saens composition than the Liszt arrangement, although Lizst's is very beautiful in its own way.
A pure delight to listen to your music and performance! You really brings her music to life.
wonderful musicality & musical storytelling!!!!!!
EXTRAORDINARIO TRABAJO,...EMOCIONANTE ESCUCHAR EL NIVEL DE EXCELENCIA QUE ALCANZAN CIERTAS PERSONAS, SIN DUDA DESPUÉS DE AÑOS DE ESFUERZO, SACRIFICIO, PASIÓN Y AMOR POR SU OFICIO.
Wow....this is a spectacular piece and you play it to absolute perfection, absolute mastery...bravo
Amazing - what a fireworks piece of marvel! It sound fun played with your fervent energy !!!
Merveilleux
Incredible performance.
COMPLETELY MAGNIFICENT - A true TOUR-DE-FORCE!!!!
Wonderful, following the score, I was lost, but very impressed with its complexity...lol
Fantastic! As a child I learned a simple version of this piece and it stayed with me. I'm now getting back to playing (in my 60's) and want to learn this version which would be a challenge. I found a simpler version that I am teaching myself. Love it!
Linda, What is the edition and where did you get your simpler version? I used to teach piano and want to start playing again.
A real professional
This is overwhelming, Paul, brilliantly played!!
This is one of the most intense pieces of music I have ever heard. I was on the edge of my seat for the whole thing.
que recuerdo de mi padre tocando esta obra!!
Amazing job Paul Barton 👆😀🎧
I was working while listening to a YT classical piano mix in the background. I had never heard this piece before, but after a couple minutes of listening I thought "This must be Paul Barton" and switched windows to check.
Yup. He is just as distinctive as the greats a yore.
OMG WONDERFUL!
Incredible! No idea ho you managed to play some of that.
Lindíssima e difícil bravo.👏👏👏👏
Wow. Such clean playing yet not sounding at all dry. :) Bravo!
Incredible !!!!!! It's phenomenal !!!!!
Dude!! This song is my jam
Bridget its not a song, its a piece
Bridget hells yeah is mine too!!
Joehoep Pjeters oh give it a rest haha I've heard major composers refer to their music as songs :) ur not special ❤️
wow, Paul, you recorded so many things. You're a genius!
Wow that's great. I love the playing, the interpretation, the annotated score, everything.
Oh, Paul! Thanks so much for sharing your music with us! This is exquisite.
Wspaniałe wykonanie! Najlepsze jakie słyszałam! Brawo👏
OMG just found this! Unbelievable good!
Incredible performance of this master piece !
Que interpretação maravilhosa!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Songs to me are easy. I have seen many pieces, this one amazed me. I think this would be a challenge. You played beautifully. This piece represents me. Wow
Peça de grande dificuldade. Execução magnífica. Parabéns.
Super! thx again
Loved the performance and the scrolling music! Makes me want to give it a try!
Still listening
Best arrangement on TH-cam
Thank you for sharing your playing and score! It is a great performance!
this truly was gorgeous, you can see the hard work it took to play so beautifully in every single note. Bravo!
So amazing I cant believe. Wow
This seems an insane pedal work...
Amazzzzzzing!!!!!!
와 너무 좋아..
Breathtaking!
Such an amazing piece
I wish we could see the DVD version with the video !
5:49 this part always gives me chills
Thanks for this - took the Cramer score along to my piano lesson the other week! My teacher hadn't seen it in years, and I'm having lots of fun bashing through it!
Grandioso compositore
This is an incredible preformance, liked it a lot!
Un capolavoro
Lovely arrangement, I'd love to see a video of your hands with the chromatic scales and the octave scales!
Fabulous!
So awesome!
Lol RIP for those who can't play 9ths
Mind boggling. I will never learn to play like this. I'd better ask Elisa on which street she lives!
Amazing
Lovely!
stunning!
This is a fantastic performance!
Looks pretty straight forward. Must be a beginner piece.
Hey Paul, any chance we might get to see a video of this performance? (please)
Yesssssss
Jeez. I have no words.
Brilliant!
This truly is a great piece of music, played amazingly! Again, ThU
Thomas
Fantastic! Thanks.
Fun fact: 99.9% of comments was about the song and some parts
I thought there would be a JSAB comment
amazing!
Heeeey. This arrangement is pretty guuud ;)
Amazing😍
Love itt
Genius
A performance so great my headphones can't even keep up! (Terrible distortion at a volume of anything more than 40%)
Edit: Seeing this a year later and I realize some people might think I am taking a dig at the video... I'm not. I'm just sad I can't bump the volume ;-;
wow. this harmonic pedal is definitely a part of the future of piano playing in my op.
too bad feurich is not that well known. perhaps steinway will see the potential of this pedal and buy the patent?? who knows...
I Loved to play this on my viola!! Much more elaborate than I am used too lol but same feel lol. Reminds me of "Rake It In" by Imogen Heap. Just love it :D Great job playing as well!
wow, looking forward to the CD :)
love it ! thank you Paul :-)
very well played Paul, been subscribed for quite some time now and I think you have just got better and better - this was excellent but I would love to hear you tackle the Horowitz arrangement of this piece. It's a devilishly difficult piece but when played well, it's absolutely spell-binding!
Dramatic!
Wow
Paul fantastic, very macabre! :-)
How is the tremolo at around 7:03 still being played when the Gs comes in for both hands? That doesn't seem physically possible.
I don't think it is possible. Maybe he got a friend to play the final notes!
Listening back, I'm actually pretty skeptical this is a human performance. 2:45-3:45 or so sounds very much like how a digital piano would produce some of those passages. Would explain the bug at the end of the piece.
Nothing suspicious ay that place at all. And no Ges in both hands too.
@Charlemagne bottom staff plays D-flat tremolo. This instantly makes statement “Gs in BOTH hands” untrue. And top staff is octave lover. Nothing impossible.
Very suspicious of this tremolo as well. Something is going on here that would require a 3rd hand. Concert pianist here.
No se de ninguna danza macabra ,muy interesante y muy bien interprtada
I've never heard this song before, but the piece is amazingly easy to follow despite its complexity. Great arrangement.
Very nice performance :)
Oboukhov would sound amazing with the harmonic pedal, especially when well-balanced sonorities are so important to his music.
omg, i enjoyed this more than i would like to admit.. thank you so much for this. i just adore this piece.. if i may ask, as a liszt admirer, will you do his transcription as well :D pretty please :)
