Dear Mr. Barton, I cannot put into words how helpful your tutorial was/is and will always be. I had just stumbled upon this piece in a collection of pieces and recognized the beautiful melody dispite my reckless interpretation. Your thoughtful guidance and suggestions have given hope to these 60 year old hands that began learning the piano 9 years ago, I am confident that this Liszt piece is within my grasp for which I am eternally grateful.
Thanks Mr. Barton, I learn so much from your lessons, and I've been playing for 35 years. There is no limit to learning. Everything is always so easy with you:)
You FINALLY helped me grasp the polyrhythms. I’ve played Scriabin and had no problem with the 2 over 3, but the melodic line of this piece to me is rhythmically deceptive! I’m now looking at the bass as more of triplet figures and it’s finally working. Thanks so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! I had no idea how to even begin - this is an amazing explanation!! I'm so in love with this music, I simply must learn it.. Can't wait to start practicing. You're an amazing teacher!
Very helpful. I'm playing this in an upcoming solo program (organ and piano), and this is just what I needed to take confidence to the next level. Much appreciated.
Hi Paul!!!! You ARE simply the most amazing and inspiring "youtuber" I have ever met!!!!!! Many thanks for your wonderful videos and keep on doing what you do !!!!! You are about to save the world!!!!!!!! Thanks man!!!!!!!!!! Lots of love from Jens from Denmark
Bonjour, je tiens à vous remercier pour votre cours et votre explication. J'ai réussi à jouer la polyrythmie et ce magnifique morceau de Liszt grâce à votre excellente leçon.
i wish i have a teacher like you. i don't have a teacher but adventure to learn by myself ,seeing your teaching technique , i learn so much. thank you very much. also inspiring for me to learn in the absence of a teacher.
6:36 i remember one time some pianist i met told me it was "wrong" to not play 1+5 indefinitely for every octave lol. I said exactly what you say here paul and he told me i was an asshole 😂 Btw this is the best tutorial ive seen for this piece
I am an amateur who loves classical music but doesn't read sheet music yet. I've started to learn a tiny bit of this piece but i feel it's rhythmically far too complex for a beginner like me... But since i really love this piece i'm willing to put alot of effort into it. What should i do, learn something more easy? My level is not very good...
+Powerslider I think you should first learn to read sheet music. It's very easy, much easier than reading text. The more you try, the easier it'll become. When time progresses, you'll recognize the notes faster. Trust me, it's not that hard. Also, I think you picked a way too difficult for a beginner. How about some of Chopin's preludes? op28 no 15 is fairly simple, it would be a better start.
@@PianoScenesMoviesandSeries I would also suggest Chopin Prelude in E-Minor. I believe it to be a wonderful piece. I recently learned it. I am not a great piano player but I did post the video on my TH-cam channel. Reading music is very essential. But playing a classical piece is much more than hitting the notes in time. It is about feeling and expression. Good luck with your musical adventure.
@@PianoScenesMoviesandSeries I've learned to read sheet music now, and also learned Chopin's 15th prelude. I'm finishing 2 other preludes of Chopin and after that i'm considering to learn the Consolation n3. Oh yes i'm also finishing Chopin's nocturne in C-sharp minor Post H. I really needed ALOT of work to get sheet music down. But i'm glad i did cos the world of classical feels at my feet now! Cheers!
such a wonderful and useful tutorial video for both students and teacher!!! A good teaching that must contain certain quantities of technical explanation such as controlling of muscle movements, relaxation of wrist and arm, cooperation of both hands and so on. feel so lucky to look into your channel! Thank you very much! subscribed!
Cool, I'm currently playing this piece for my piano exam and competition in Asia. Just a perfect time to have some final suggestions to play better.. Thx Paul! Again!
Thank you Mr.Paul Barton ...mais je suis français et comprends mal l'anglais. Pouvez vous traduire en français votre tutorial ?. Je suis pianiste amateur depuis 5 ans et je travaille sans relâche. Je voudrais bien apprendre le Consolation 3. Merci de votre aide. J'ai 73 ans et veux devenir un vieillard prodige.
I was stumped by the cadenza because it looked like two bars condensed into one. And then because the following bars slow down to ritardando it kind of flows together eventually. But counting those notes does show eight beats in that bar.
this is brilliant! next time a student asks me to teach them this piece! (which is all the bloody time!) ill direct them to your video!! i get easily annoyed when people dont play cross rhythms correctly, such as 8ths over triplets etc and i think you really hit the nail on the head with your explaination!, also while im here i think ill be selfish and request you do a tutorial on etude 25 5 (wrong note) as i love ur etude tutorials :P
A lot of really good tips, esp for an amateur with er, experience of life! I can't help feeling that Liszt meant the fours to be played at a different speed to the left hand triplets, in any interpretation. IMO the notation difference indicates sparkling flourishes, surely not moments for tailored sentiment?
Wow, finally could play the 22nd bar after 2 hours of repetition...It’s weird, I dont feel like I’m making any progress but suddenly I can hear the triplets in the left hands at the same time as the quavers in the right hand, and i got it..
Yes they are played together 😊👍 once you've cracked the rhythm it follows a pattern throughout most of the piece, there are a couple of bars which do seem to stray so be wary. This is definitely a left handed players dream... Requires a lot of patient right hand work x
Surely, counting it as 12/8 time is an easier way in. For example, in bar four, think of the semi-quavers in the treble clef as coinciding with 7, 8 and half, 10 and 11 and half in the left hand 12/8 flow.
Paul, thanks a lot for this tutorial. It's really helpful. I'm a beginner and I have a (stupid) question: Is it really necessary to use an octave legato fingering from bar 19 to 26, considering that the pedal is already bonding the notes?
I finished this piece earlier this week and I can tell you that these methods work. Especially counting the core notes in the triplets that are on the beat. It also helped me to learn the polyrythms by only playing the notes of the triples that are on the beat. It will clear up a lot of confusing for your brain
Cilento Even though it’s not notated the left hand is playing triplets so the polyrhythm of playing eighth notes in the right hand over triplets in the left hand can be a bit tricky
I have a question (sorry if you actually mentioned this, i need to practice so I don't have time to watch the whole video) so should i take the bass notes as a separate voice or as a part of other left hand? (Can't really explain if in English since I'm Estonian)

Paul, you are an extraordinary pedagogue, teacher, instructor, etc. Very very good.
You are a great teacher, a real master. Thanks for all your videos, greetings from Lima, Perú.
Stunning! Accenting strong beats helps a lot to obtain muscle memory . Absolutely amazing professor Paul!
I love this piece and dream to be able to play it... Thank you 😉
Thanks Mr. Barton, I learn so much from your lessons, and I've been playing for 35 years.

Excellent! I love all your videos... including these tutorials. THANKS PAUL!!!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It has allowed me to learn this piece in less than half the time! Such great advice!
You have given me revelation on how to practice! Thank You 💗

I am in love with it too. I could practice it for hours!
@@0532phillipjoy took me a loooong while to learn😂😂😂 but got there in the end! 👍
Very helpful. I'm playing this in an upcoming solo program (organ and piano), and this is just what I needed to take confidence to the next level. Much appreciated.
I found that this approach works just as well for Chopin's Nocturne op 27 no. 2.
Thank you very much, Paul.
Thats great to know! I'll first learn this Consolation, and later move to 27-2. Thanks!

Dear Mr Barton, this was a brillant tutorial!! Thank you so much.
Thank you Paul
Beautifully interpreted
Absolutamente FANTÁSTICO. Algún día la tocaré completa y preciosa! Mil gracias por el Tutorial!
It was so helpful to mark the notes to be played at the same time with color ! Thanks
Class as usual and what insight you provide! Thank you for all your work!
Thank you very much! You're such a gifted teacher... It just inspires me.
This is a brilliant piece to play and I love your tutorial of it!
Thank you so much for your videos! Youve gotten me back into piano after 8 yrs sans keys 🎹
Bonjour, je tiens à vous remercier pour votre cours et votre explication. J'ai réussi à jouer la polyrythmie et ce magnifique morceau de Liszt grâce à votre excellente leçon.
Thank you for a very interesting and helpful lesson! Just started to try the Consolation, I will continue to do it together with you!!
i wish i have a teacher like you. i don't have a teacher but adventure to learn by myself ,seeing your teaching technique , i learn so much. thank you very much. also inspiring for me to learn in the absence of a teacher.
to see the sheet music while you play is terrific. thanks!
Very uselful tips - I just started to learn this piece
Wow. I have had this piece "taught" to me a couple of times before, but never like this. You have a real talent!
U are a verry talented man paul...keep it up...its always a day brightner watching your videos...thanx

Thanks so very much for posting this wonderful lesson!
This is definitely on my list of considerations for future learning. Thanks for the tutorial. :)

Thanks again, Paul, for another great tutorial!
Barton you r so good. Tutorial is very useful.
This is just what I have been looking for! Great channel!
this would be so much easier to sight read if the left hand was notated with triplets..
Yeah but Liszt wanted to indicate continuity visually.
This would also be easier to sight read if I had a bigger brain. Hehe
it gonna help me a lot in mixing the two rithyms (left and right)
Excellent! Thank you.
This is pure gold.
All your tutorials are great!!!
great well thought our tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks for this atomised analysis. Very useful indeed.

Another excellent video. Thanks.
Been struggling with this one. You've been a big help
Question! On bar 15 it seems as if there are no poly rhythms , all the notes are lined up together. Or am I wrong?
btw that is probably the most fantastic sounding yamaha upright i've ever heard. most of the ones I play don't sound as warm as yours.
Agreed. Wondering if it is a U3.
Yes they are played together 😊👍 once you've cracked the rhythm it follows a pattern throughout most of the piece, there are a couple of bars which do seem to stray so be wary. This is definitely a left handed players dream... Requires a lot of patient right hand work x
Great tutorial, had not heard of this piece before.
can you do a tutorial for liszt's liebestraum no 3.pls.
This is a GREAT tutorial....Wow

Amazing tips thank you!
So helpful. Thank you very much!
Most interesting and useful, Paul!
Thank you so much Paul ❤️
Thank you so much ❤
Wonderful!
excellent
@PaulBartonPiano hello paul, do you maybe have also access to the violin arrangement of liszt consolation no 3 in d-flat?
Why in measure 56-57 is the rhythm slowed to what is not written in the score? Can anyone comment?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL
I couldn't keep up with the speed of the lesson. It was hard for me. Paul is a genius.
Paul, thanks a lot for this tutorial. It's really helpful. I'm a beginner and I have a (stupid) question: Is it really necessary to use an octave legato fingering from bar 19 to 26, considering that the pedal is already bonding the notes?
the first hurdle in my case would be reading the notes... but thank you, you played it so well it was a soul massage.
This is so helpful! Thank you so much!
Could you help us with provinding us with subtitles please?
Amazing Channel !!!
THANK YOU MASTER, yOU ARE REALY GREAT TEACHER.
GRACIAS, ADVICE ME THE HOW AND THE BETER WAY FOR FIND

your really great! your alertness makes this interesting! You should have a show or something lol

What to do with the tied notes in the base?
Thank you for your help here.....
What's your name piano ?☺
Thank you very much for the great lesson. Would you please give any suggestion on Listz's La capanella ? >_
Thank you for the breaking up play so I can learn to play by ear
I like it! Good idea.
Thanks so much
Thank you, very helpful
paul you are second best piano player in the world next to this i guy i know named paul barton
Que buena explicación!!!
I don't get it why there's desynchronization if both hands are playing eight notes
Cilento Even though it’s not notated the left hand is playing triplets so the polyrhythm of playing eighth notes in the right hand over triplets in the left hand can be a bit tricky
I have a question (sorry if you actually mentioned this, i need to practice so I don't have time to watch the whole video) so should i take the bass notes as a separate voice or as a part of other left hand? (Can't really explain if in English since I'm Estonian)
