+MINECRAFT PRO I was actually wondering this just before reading your commentary! Probably among the +75K visits that this video has received so far there were 20 frustrated pianists that what actually disliked was their impossibility to teach this piece better.
I struggle most with matching left hand and right hand at exact same speed, so the hardest part for me is the part where the left hand trills between E and F whilst the right hand is descending from D in semi tones... The problem comes if you don't exactly match them up as the left hand has to end on the F to successfully trigger the next part, at high speeds this is very tricky to get right and can ruin the whole performance if you land on the wrong final note in that section.
This is truly exceptional playing. Makes it look, and sound easy. I have played it myself, and my bees are definitely more angry than Paul's, but that's just a personal preference. One thing this lesson doesn't cover is the reaction of the teacher to the student who is very diligent, and does exactly what this video suggests, yet doesn't achieve the same result. It's a bit like watching Rachmaninoff himself play, but without seeing exactly how he practised, and, more importantly, knowing what he was hearing and experiencing while he practised. Paul's playing is out of this world. Fluent, clear and colourful.
Sometimes superlatives don't encapsulate what the viewer actually gets from a video like this. It's not meant to lower the tone in any way - but the above is nothing short of 'bloody brilliant Paul'. Thank you so very very much. You've abridged my natural verbosity with awe. Mike
guys i can assure you that if Bach, Beethoven, Mozart or any other classical composer would have lived till now, they may get surprise to see the perfection of Paul Barton.. hats off to you Sir
Wonderful! Thank you so much for teaching this. I'm amazed at what we very clever monkey's are able to do. Ok, so I'm in. 9 months of daily practice to achieve 2 minutes of pure delight.
Excellent! I like your tutorial and hopefully, this will help me to play the "Bee" with more ease. I like the 2 beats to the bar at 80 and increasing slowly. Thanks.
I think Mr. Barton adds notes in two spots. In both the 11th and 13th measures of the last page, in the left hand, Paul begins that minor 2nd-alternating-16th note figure on the 'and' of beat 1 instead of directly on beat 2. This is not a criticism. I prefer it, and I would bet that this modification has to be an intentional, artistic one coming from such a brilliant pianist. Mr. Barton, if you ever read this, can you confirm? Thank you for this, and all of your excellent tutorials!
Great tutorial, but... "fingering is intuitive".. I'm not so sure. Many pianists use different fingering for this piece; some start with 5 and others start with 4 and rarely use the fifth finger (Right Hand)
@@simonepozzari6967 it can definitely work, but I think that it's a bad choice in case of the bumblebee because of the speed. Using all five fingers is an advantage when developing speed and precision. When you only use three fingers, then each of those fingers will have to move a lot faster and do a lot more work, while your 4th and 5th do nothing. To me at least, I find it easier to develop the speed and precision required for this composition, when taking advantage of the fact that i have 5 fingers on each hand 🖐
For a second, I thought you had six fingers...But your playing was so perfect I can't help but smirk and blush, your rythm was soooo perfect I can't stop watching your fingers lolololol
than you Mr.Paul for the tips.I'm not able to play the part where the left hand crosses over the right hand I started playing it at a lower tempo and kept increasing it but I'm not able to correctly play it at around 90-95bpm.
I am so confused.. because these finger numbers are definitely different, 6:20 and 9:00. < Right finger C C# D D# E D# D C# > (6:20) Right finger number 1,3,1,3 4.3.2.1 (9:00) Right finger number 1,2,3,4 5,4,3,2 of course they both are right way. but I want to know better way.. help me haha..
Hi Paul, first off, thanks for the tutorial as it wa very useful. Also for the link to the score which is the one I used. However I noticed a difference in what you play and the score I downloaded from the link you provided. It is very small but at the last few lines, when the left hand does two trilles before the final ascending chromatic scales, you start the trilles one quaver earlier than on the score I found on the website. typically starting the trilles on the 2nd beat, rather than the third (supposing we assume 4 beats per bar). It is very charming the way you do it, but I wondered if it is a deliberate choice or just another version, or possibly an error in the website scores. Thanks!
If the Russian Empire still existed how many works of art should have been created during this time. World War I was a real catastrophe for man in every sense.
GoldFalcon24 You can hardly compare Für Elise to this piece. Für Elise is an easy beginner piece that most people can learn right off the bat. This one requires quite a bit more :).
Paul please slow a representative part of the song like on an e e eflat d dflat c b and up to d something like that .. I would like to see just right hand version and extremely slow...you could say the finger at the same time... if I could get a little part down in a smooth logical flow the rest will come easy..I'm older now but I recently started doing table tapping again.
amorfati88 unfortunately Android at least mine does not show settings. however I have put two products together from play store. I would assume iOS has a similar product. download tube mate or similar app. and video frame player .. I now download almost any youtube video and have it on my phone.. then it it is in my videos .. I store them on my SD card.. then when I want to play it I use the video frame player.. if something has a charge for downloads I do not download it because that is part of their income but there is plenty that is free . I Controll the speed faster or slower good for piano or guitar ECT.
PIANOSTYLE100 If you're looking for that type of tutourial, I remember another youtube channel that does those type of videos. Paul Barton's videos, which are more masterclass like in nature, might not be the right one for you in this case.
Its really is. The bees uses your main fingers whereas op10 no2 uses your 3rd 4th and 5th for a chromatic scale which is considerably more difficult to master
You must be joking I have tennis elbow, writers block, drivers arm, athletes foot, and other excuses I have a Daneman - the keys wont return/ respond at that speed. Better excuse anyone?
“Don’t ever let the beep or click of the metronome bother you when you practice as the benefits outweigh the irritation” - Very, very good advice.
5:39
I never played with the metronome before, but I can see how it is indispensable for getting this right.
Why are people disliking this beautiful piece of teaching?

Yeah!! Kissins and other interpritation nothing with Paul rendition!
That's the point of the Advanced Tutorial, it assumes the basics have been covered.
It’s humble, it’s a genios, so generous, it’s a blessing for the world to have a teacher like Paul! Thankyou so much!
Why am I watching this I'm not even near this level of skill in piano
I'm guessing because both Paul and the music are amazing!

Wow. I've just found Paul Barton and I had no idea about his technical skill and overall touch of the piano. This guy is no joke.
guys i can assure you that if Bach, Beethoven, Mozart or any other classical composer would have lived till now, they may get surprise to see the perfection of Paul Barton.. hats off to you Sir
Absolutely outstanding, Paul! I really love the Rachmaninoff arrangement and I am just in awe how easily you play it! A great lesson. BRAVO! ~Jackie
Classical Jams - Passionate Piano Thanks Dear Jackie for this great shared, Beautiful Piano music
The clearest tutorial
Thanks for sharing
Paul you are so GOOD! Thank you for posting this.
you're the best teacher I have ... thank you Paul for your kindness to life
Thank you so much for this video! My playing improved so much after this!
Man you are awesome. So much expression in each hand. Bravo!
I successfully learn the intro...first step to the end🥰
God bless you for your patience and amazing teaching gift!!
Apart from your playing I love your teaching and your talking. :)
Incredibly helpful. A big thank You, Paul.
This guy is a master!! Beautiful dynamics and touch.
Can u pls tell me what is dynamics?
@@RohithDidIt the range of volume from soft to loud.
@@praxisdev1884 ohh, thanks for replying dude 😉
@@RohithDidIt anytime buddy.
12:07 for the slow part with easy fingering :)
Try to insist every 4 notes and do 1-2 fast every notes, then 2-1 fast every notes (2 links)
That's superb playing, Paul! Thank you!
Why are Rachmaninoffs arr always the best ?
xShadz he was a very clever man and an exceptional pianist. So it is very well written!
Wonderful! Thank you so much for teaching this. I'm amazed at what we very clever monkey's are able to do. Ok, so I'm in. 9 months of daily practice to achieve 2 minutes of pure delight.

Beautiful play and helpful content. Thank you for this!
Absolutely fantastic playing!!!!!!
Wow...Flawless and smooth. Bravo. I wish to be as good as you someday. I'm sure there is nothing he can't play
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly! Twoset violin memes here LingLing present!
We’ll achieve this if we practice 40 hours a day 😂
He is very good at keeping the tempo it's actually outstanding
Metronome, metronome, metronome!!! 😜
Thankyou it really helps people who r learning to play it.
Excellent! I like your tutorial and hopefully, this will help me to play the "Bee" with more ease. I like the 2 beats to the bar at 80 and increasing slowly. Thanks.
I'm near this level in piano, i have been playing for 8 months but i still learned a lot and I can play really fast!
Ok? Is there a point?
excellent tutorial.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Love all your videos, Paul!
SO ACCUATE MAN! GREAT WORK!
12:34 this is actually a great routine for developing speed ♥

I use 4-3-2-4-3-2-1-4-3-2-1 in the intro
I start with 3
In the chromatic scale I never use 4 and 5, it's just my choice

I wish I had a grand piano to practise this on it gets very hard and tiring playing the notes on an upright.
At least you don't have to practice on a keyboard
Furaha Aswan yea you should be grateful to own an upright.
You are lucky to have one upright. I don't have an upright either.

Do you have any sheet music with this specifical fingering? The best one for sure!
Fantastico.Bravissimo
Thank You, keep up thee good work! !
I LOVE IT!!! Thank you
this is Fantastic!
than you Mr.Paul for the tips.I'm not able to play the part where the left hand crosses over the right hand I started playing it at a lower tempo and kept increasing it but I'm not able to correctly play it at around 90-95bpm.
You should make tutorial of the cziffra arrangement
This is a great video!!!
I am so confused.. because these finger numbers are definitely different, 6:20 and 9:00.
< Right finger C C# D D# E D# D C# >
(6:20) Right finger number 1,3,1,3 4.3.2.1
(9:00) Right finger number 1,2,3,4 5,4,3,2
of course they both are right way. but I want to know better way.. help me haha..
and this part is also different ~! 9:15~9:16
Ah....and... he is playing in 2:49 by another number ToT.....
so sorry but 9:15~9:17 also different.. haha I am so sensitive.. but number is so important for bigginer like me.. please understand me.

its so good

Thats not tha share button
Can you make more videos on this song?
at 9:16 that pedal, wow!
Paul, this same kind of tutorial for your kv 545 Mozart sonata interpretation, please!
The running sixteenth notes must be practiced legato at first at a slow tempo.
I feel like running everytime I hear this.
For comparison you should do a tutorial on Cziffra's arrangement of Flight of the Bumblebee.
Marvelous!!!
Will this piece be considered Advanced Hard? like Moonlight Sonata 3rd Mov, I am at Intermediate I guess I shouldn't come here this early
Wow, awesome
This is even harder to learn for me since I'm left-handed :/
Not really. Learned it in 2 weeks with basically no piano experience.
Proof?
CountZer0 You want a video?
Sure.
So, where is that video?
I actually checked if I changed the speed of the video
Turns out he’s just really playing very fast
Original score sheet needed
I hate using metronome for rehearsals. but this is grate.
Please, make Cziffra-Rimsky-Korsakov Flight of the Bumblebee tutorial, Maestro !
Maybe and just maybe if I'm lucky and practice 2 hours at day I will master it in 20 years
Can somebody tell me at what speed he plays. He said horovitz plays at 93. What does that mean?
Paul is one year older than me. I've got some catching up to do.
If the Russian Empire still existed how many works of art should have been created during this time. World War I was a real catastrophe for man in every sense.
is this hard to learn for a talented beginner ? :< i really love this one!
I've had 1 lesson I'm a beginner saw the sheet music for fur Elise and did it straight away so go for it !
GoldFalcon24 You can hardly compare Für Elise to this piece. Für Elise is an easy beginner piece that most people can learn right off the bat. This one requires quite a bit more :).
