Thanks soooo much for showing the fingering! I was looking at the sheets wondering how the heck someone can play this with only two hands. Your substitution technique takes me back to my organ days. Never played a piano piece that uses it so extensively. Great video!
Excellent video Paul! I also do advanced piano tutorials on my channel, and you've given me some great ideas for detail and offering extra material to your viewers. Keep up the amazing work!
We've really liked *****'s channel. For example, Abbey has watched his Reverie fingering video several times as she's been learning that piece. Even though you already play it, you should check out his Ocean Etude tutorial. It's very informative.
You are a live saver. I cannot say more than thank you. It was so entertaining and brilliant to watch. It helped me a lot learning this beautiful peace. Thank you especially for the pdf version and have a great day ♥
Outstanding video. Mr. Barton brings excellent technical solutions. Apart from the great suggestions, the composition chosen and the paintings, it all makes this video a piece of jewel. Thank you Mr. Barton.
Thank you so much for the effort you put into this video! I appreciate the length you made it. It’s difficult to know what to do when you don’t have a teacher, so this really helped with ideas!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I've been working on this piece for just over a month now, and have it nearly competed. I find it very challenging. Sometimes it feels as if I need four hands!!! Hahaha I couldn't have done it without your tutorial! ! Thank you!! :-)
If you keep refining and improving the look and efficacy of your tutorials, I fear I may be out of a job as piano teacher. I always notice your improvements e.g. the gorgeous dark look and lighting of the side views of these playing examples. Your tutorials improve my teaching and enhance my understanding and sharpen my focus... thank you Paul.
Great video! I personally "cheat" somewhat in that I switch the melody between the right and left hand during the final measures (the section discussed from around 35:35). This eliminates the need for the spread chords and as a lazy pianist, I'm all for that! Thanks for the video once again.
@@PaulBartonPiano Just FYI, at 33:58 there's a G natural in the right hand after the A flat. Two A flats were played instead. It sounds like the passage played there doesn't match up with the sheet music.
This is wonderful. If you take students, then they are very fortunate to have a teacher who can explain things so clearly and yet so approachably. I particularly appreciate how your consideration of musical elements blends so seamlessly with your explanation of technical elements. Thank you!
Living in Alaska, we don't have access to many musicians of your level. Thank you so much for all of the tutorials! Please know that they make a difference to many of us.
Op39 No9 is my favourite to play. Calling this a march is a disservice with the counterpoint, range of colours and harmonies. It has many parallels with Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Would be lovely to have a tutorial on both pieces actually. Fun & joy to the family.
Thank you so much for this video. I am learning this piece right now, and there were a few details I missed - as you say this piece is packed with them - which I will now be working on. I would also suggest adding some commentary in terms of the mechanics of voicing. I know the effect that is required, but I find it hard sometimes to generate that effect without straining my hands, so I'd love to hear more thoughts on that if you do videos like this in future.
Hello Paul Barton, thank you for the great tutorial. Correct me if I'm wrong but please note that there seems to be a wrong note at 32:20, the E is still Eb from the Cm chord on the left hand, the natural sign comes only when you play E major chord.
I love how you explain etude-tableaux with actual pictures. It really helps me understand the music better as I love art and paintings. thank you so much! Can you please tell me where i can find all the pictures used in rachmaninov's etude-tableaux if you don't mind? i have been desperately looking for the paintings or pictures related to the whole etudes of his. I am sure each etude has a specific image.. I will really appreciate if you can tell me :D
32:29 I'm here just for the fingering at this point. I guess there is no good solution, you end up with the left thumb occasionally on the black keys and awkward cross-overs no matter what. Far and away the hardest part of the piece in my opinion.
35:25-35:32 this is the best part of the whole etude, its so... nice :D great tutorial man ! how hard is this etude in your opinion? i'm a intermediate player
I would say I'm a "semi-pro" pianist. I've been playing for 13 years now. My teacher said that if somebody can play a Rachmaninov etude like this, it means that the pianist has some really high skill level in playing the piano. So it's quite difficult and not in the Chopin etude way. This exact etude doesn't take too much speed like virtousity like Chopin's OP 10. C major for example. The hardness of this piece is in the simularity of the way of playing Bach fugues. Definitely very hard to follow the several melody lines and to solve the connections between them. Also in learning state it may be strange for your ears, because of the millennial melodies from the late-romanticism I think. I'm still learning this and I'm struggling sometimes with putting together the 2 hands - this is why I clicked on the video. Good luck for it! It's a beautiful piece.
I am having a ton of trouble spreading the chords you talk about at 14:00. I can't get anywhere close to tempo because of the last two beats of measure 11. Do you have any tips for doing two consecutive jumps for a spread chord?
Hello Paul! Great video and I've got a question. You play every single of wide chords in an arppegiated manner. But what if I can play some of smallest (with an 11th only, for instance) in a common way? What should I do?
Dear Paul Barton, There's one question, I don't understand. In the 13th minute. The pedals(with spread chords and leaps,the bottom note is to be played before the beat,thetop note,often the melody note, on the beat) I don't understand this meaning.
Why do you take a master piece etude are start off with a lecture on the idea of a pick up note or a staccato execution? Do you think anyone tackling this etude needs such grade school instruction?
Thanks soooo much for showing the fingering! I was looking at the sheets wondering how the heck someone can play this with only two hands. Your substitution technique takes me back to my organ days. Never played a piano piece that uses it so extensively. Great video!

Your teaching method is unique! Thanks for all your efforts that you pour in every video.
This is absolutely brilliant. You are a treasure trove of world-class artistry. Nothing but admiration.
Paul great, without any doubts he on same level with Kissin

not cheating! that's a very good way as the notes get played by the thumb too so that stand out - which is all that matters :)
olipal fffff

Thank you Paul. This is a special day for me, to find your online piano lessons.
Well, thus is very convenient as I was planning to learn this etude starting next week. Thank you
Your dog is so adorable
thank you so much. I've been playing this song for poorly for years and finally have a way forward!!!!!
Congratulations! Without this video i never can play this sheet!!

You're the best! Thank you so much!!
This is a beautiful video, i will grind till i can play until before the "weather change"
Thank you so much this is gold for a beginner 🎉

you draw this!? wow!
You are awesome!!
Lets see how I will practize it tomorrow after seeing your video.....
参考になりました！
감사합니다.

Your playing is fantastic and I love Feurerich pianos.
So why the swimming pool acoustic?
11:50
Do you get enough socializing in thailand
nice dog :)
it took me a while to just hear the music not anticipate where it's going if that makes any sence xd
It's a nice tutorial, but I find myself at problems on how to use pad. Can you mark some sample pad using on script?
Please play that etude!
14:06
I am having a ton of trouble spreading the chords you talk about at 14:00. I can't get anywhere close to tempo because of the last two beats of measure 11. Do you have any tips for doing two consecutive jumps for a spread chord?
imagine making an extreamly sophisticated video tutorial with increadible depth and intelectual artwork and then uploading it in 720p
ciao, saresti così gentile da dirmi che videocamera utilizzi e come l'hai posizionata così in alto? Grazie mille!

12:15 the distribution of IQ is so unfair :)
Please play this etude now!!! 👑🎩😍😍😍
waht piece 12:25?
practicing at 14:03.
please tell me where you found this sheet music. I NEED TO KNOW
imslp.org
I imagined more of a mysterious Siberian forest personally when I learned it.
Myself, a still deep pale-winter blue lake.
Great work Paul, do you know that Rahmaninov is Bulgarian
Rachmaninov not russian?
how is this guy able to move his hands so quickly i hate genetics
Hard peice to tackle
holy macaroni
Why do you take a master piece etude are start off with a lecture on the idea of a pick up note or a staccato execution? Do you think anyone tackling this etude needs such grade school instruction?
I think it's useful for people new to classical music that want just to understand these pieces

No fingerings? Wtf!
