Everyones so upset about the staccato. Personally i think its a fresh and new way of hearing an amazing piece as well as a way to fully appreciate the harmonic pedal. If its not your favourite just move on to the next recording ahah
The effect he's achieving here with the staccato and continued resonance by using the harmonic pedal, at least to me, really gives it this more innocent, playful, and childlike feel. The interpretation is so unique and perhaps it's just me but I think it works wonderfully
Paul Barton is incredible..not only a fine pianist but also a superb portrait artist. His music videos are so, so entertaining. Especially when his beautiful family participates.
As I always wonder why people never play this piece with the staccato written in the score. Finally someone actually did it and answered my curiosity. Still very used to the legato version though.
I have the verlag Edition and followed the score. I had not paid much attention to the staccato notation, but you really bring out the dance in this piece as I've never heard it played before. The piece is difficult enough without all of the rich nuances annotated in the score. Thank you.
For those complaining about the staccato, check out Paul's upright piano version from 2009. Maybe he was feeling the music differently this time around, people change, interpretations change... And isn't that a wonderful thing!
Wow Paul, your interpretation is beautiful! The staccato is definitely uncommon, but I think it brings a breath of fresh air to the piece, makes it unique among many similar sounding interpretations. I also think it helps make it sound more like the dance it’s supposed to be.
Whilst i'm not a huge fan of the staccato it reminds me of playing around with the piece when i'm bored. I also like the contrast it creates when you stop it for specific sections. I feel like you could expand on this more just by non staccato for longer.
Very nice interpretation. The staccato has always been a subject of discussion as the orchestra versions which correspond to the original piece are most often played with a light staccato for the middle part . On the other hand , piano roll of ravel playing the pavane on the piano is more like a non legato rather a non staccato, so I guess it is up to the interpreter or maybe that’s in between non legato / staccato to try to mimic the orchestra attack .
I just saw your video of this piece for James. I did a few more clicks and I watched this . I was looking for tips how to learn this piece and voila! I heard it on your harmonic Feurich.
I loved your unique preformance & using the stacatto in this piece is not a favorite to me . My best reference for this piece is hearing Ravel's own recording for pavane 🌸💙
I have a copy of old sheet music of this piece with the staccato written on the inner voices. Tried playing it like Paul here, and with just a little bit of pedal I think it sounds beautiful. Compare with Fauré's Pavane. I don't know if Ravel himself played it like this, but then again don't really care either 😄 I like Paul's way of bringing out little details in the sheet music instead of sticking to the tradition.
Amazing one of a kind interpretation. You truly have a one of a kind touch, and your sight reading is astounding! I myself am jealous, I have a pretty good sight reading skill as well. But at the same time, I am not confident enough to it in front of people. I usually commit pieces of music to memory because of that. Fantastic video, have a wonderful day! 🤔😊
I like how you tried something new but I prefer the other way. I think the staccato works because strings have a more mellow sound so everything blends timbre-wise but it’s not exactly the same for piano. It still sounds nice I just think it possibly sounds better without staccato. But I will say the change up was refreshing.
Dear Mr. Barton. I have a student´s request that I think could be of really help coming from yourself: Villa Lobo´s Festa no Sertão (from the Ciclo Brasileiro), a score available in IMSLP, presents in the section B a very intricate polyrhythm writing, that is written above a very passionate brazilian melody. Would it be possible to make a tutorial related to this section? I think it would be of so much help! Usually teachers only say: Practice hands separate and try to make it fit together. But there is obviously a logic behind and I think you clarify concepts so well! Thanks a lot and best wishes from Brazil!
Interesting interpretation, but only if serves to demonstrate the piano innovations. I am pretty sure though there are pieces where the effect would be very desirable (the famous Aria from Bachianas Brasileiras No.5 by Villa-Lobos is the first coming to my mind).
give it another shot. It really accentuates the climaxes, and makes them feel oh so buttery. Very much like the momentary blissful pedaling on arabesque no. 2 in my opinion.

The staccato is actually marked in the sheet music, so I don't understand why it's so horrible to people
@@andrewfortmusic its suppossed to be sticky staccato
I think your use of staccato is brilliant Paul. Besides, great dynamics, phrasing and narrative. Thanks so much for posting.

Same
Paul Barton is incredible..not only a fine pianist but also
a superb portrait artist.
His music videos are
so, so entertaining.
Especially when his beautiful family
participates.
Don't really agree with the staccato, but i love this piece
Thank you Paul, for doing the piece I requested! Great performance once again. Keep doing what you're doing.
You're welcome. I'm very glad you requested it - thank you.
This was a beautiful piece. I'm always grateful for your uploads, because they introduce me to new compositions that I'd never know of otherwise.

Sharma Yelverton Ravel played this with legato
@@SharmaYelverton Usually one would play portato if there was a slur and staccato. But, of course it's up to interpretation
@@colorsofsound4782 how is this achieved effectively? A lot of pedaling or just holding the staccato longer basically?
@@Lythholding it longer. Somewhere between playing normally and staccato.
A unique interpretation! It really brings out Ravel's intention actually!

Esta obra es de las pocas que realmente me sacan unas lagrimas de la emoción... :’)

Linda interpretação ! A pontuação do staccatto , mais proeminente, é um diferencial !
Thank you for doing all the staccato!! I love this version
Hey Paul, I'd really love to hear you play "Une barque sur l'océan" someday. cheers
Glad to see you playing this piece again!
As if an imitation of strings pizzicato
Beautiful playing of a very lovely and emotionally moving piece! Thank you for uploading this.

my fav version of M.19 since then
Very nice interpretation.

so soft and powerful emotionally.
As always, wonderfull playing, and also, nice pice choice making, greetings dear Paul
Very original and well performed interpretation
Stark. Reminds me a bit of Alfred Brendell. Have to wonder if this is what Ravel wanted. Thank you for all your teaching and playing.
I just saw your video of this piece for James. I did a few more clicks and I watched this . I was looking for tips how to learn this piece and voila! I heard it on your harmonic Feurich.
Very beautiful music.passion and performance.
Bravo Dear Paul*********
Have a great week!
~Amelia~
I loved your unique preformance & using the stacatto in this piece is not a favorite to me .
My best reference for this piece is hearing Ravel's own recording for pavane
🌸💙
Your voicing is spectacular!
I was hoping you could show us birds eye view
Overall excellent
One of my favorites
Thank you
Been waiting for this one

Muy original tu interpretación. Nunca había escuchado una así, conseguiste sonidos nuevos!

I love Pavane!

Please play Ravel Jeux d'eau 🙏
Marvelous!
Superbe !

Like someone else said I would love you to play Jeax d'eau.
Paul i would love to see you play some of Alberto Ginastera.
This piece seems to have a bit of everything. I heard both jazz and eastern elements in it on certain parts.
Interesting interpretation, but only if serves to demonstrate the piano innovations. I am pretty sure though there are pieces where the effect would be very desirable (the famous Aria from Bachianas Brasileiras No.5 by Villa-Lobos is the first coming to my mind).
Do you ever play in front of a live audience?
Magnificent!!
Fantastic as always. Also, I’ll give you my house if you produce an overhead view of Rachmaninoff’s 3rd concerto (2nd movement)
I have heard the piece before but it’s for orchestra
But anyway it’s so beautiful
Please take me as your child
Hearing the staccato, I wonder how "Molly on the Shore" would sound with the harmonic pedal.
Tutorial!!!!! Plssss
I wish Ravel and Debussy could have heard the sounds of a harmonic piano.
Do u have a room just for your piano and how big is it?🤔
I like the arrangement but the sound of the piano itself seems "cold" to me.
Really good as usual, but I have a question : what is the function of the 4th pedal ? Is it really useful ?
th-cam.com/video/zHWex94-mHg/w-d-xo.html
Im sorry, but in my opinion this Interpretation is horrible. Im not agreed with the staccato
Agree with you!
Listen to it once again
Hopefully you’ll like it :)
But the piece was written this way.
give it another shot. It really accentuates the climaxes, and makes them feel oh so buttery. Very much like the momentary blissful pedaling on arabesque no. 2 in my opinion.
