In this video I mixed the traditional sustain with the 4th harmonic pedal.
*The monitor on the music stand is something I put together myself and is experimental. I turn score pages with my left foot. The monitor is ideal for teaching as it can show close-ups of notes etc. Photos of this monitor can be seen on my Facebook page: / paulbartonpiano

I am a retired concert piano tuner/technician. I have heard this sonata played many times and even battled through it myself as a student some 45 years ago. Never have I heard a more precise and beautiful rendering. That piano is also magnificent. Thank you so much!

pathetic...... I hear the rants, the rage. I hear my life on the keys of your piano. In 35 years married, it was over with 8 words. I can relate my life to this, Paul. Nothing you've ever heard from me before, i change my user name frequently, trying to find myself. This one names it. The others were donavan, navillus, well indica-ted. I adore your life portrayed with Emilie, it's intrigued me since she slept on the piano top. I amazed at how frenzied my life became, and how the music is spot on yo that frenzy. Pathetique for sure..... and now the bitter end, alone in the dark. TY soo much Paul. Beautiful piece, most of what you play I hear for the first time. I'm learning to love the classics through you! And Em!

@@socraticgadfly I don't understand comments like this. There is no problem in disliking a performance, but why do some people always feel the urge to convince others to feel the same way? If i don't like something, i usually just stop watching and call it a day, because randomly criticizing, or pressing the dislike button, doesn't do anything for me, nor for anyone else, and if i see, that some people, in this case the vast majority, enjoy what they see/hear, then why would i question that. And by the way, his choice of tempo, matches that of many established concert pianists (e.g. zimerman & barenboim), so your "point" is in general, more than questionable.

La pagina iniziale è un gran Recitativo... respirato... quindi drammatico e quasi libero. Lo stacco del tempo allegro è bucolico e pastorale, che occhieggia al Sinfonismo .... romantico. Lo stile GALANTE cede il Passo al nuovo stile tanto amato da IGNAZIO MOSCHELES. Lo stacco del tempo è dunque verosimile, cambia l adrenalina di un Horowitz o di Zimmerman. Loro hanno un energia che che dà direzione al teatro e al dramma. Ma Barton è un esecutore egregio e soprattutto divulgatore e ottimo didatta. Complimenti al musicista. Un dono di paziente ARTISTA

This was one of my performance pieces. Playing a piece that is at your best skill level isn't always as easy as it seems. There's more than just the technical part. Having someone playing a piece that is far below their skill level is a pleasure. They can concentrate more in the performance aspect. All the dynamics, phrasing, hand weight, etc, without worrying about playing a wrong note.

Paul, this performance tops Daniel Barenboim's interpretation. I have never heard anyone play this sonata, especially the first movement, as good as you.

@highgroundproductions8590 2 жыл бұрын

Ehhh. Mr. Barton is very good, but nobody will top Barenboim's performance for a while. He makes the sound so smooth where it needs to be, almost like an orchestra. But I think Barton was inspired by Barenboim for this performance.

@cadedundon8616 2 жыл бұрын

@@highgroundproductions8590 although that is true, I believe the reason why I keep coming back to Mr. Barton's interpretation is the usage of his strict time in the first movement within those allegro sections. Although Barenboim gives it a very a nice orchestral sound and feel, he was in a concert setting. I feel like the chamber sound this video provides just gives the piece more energy, especially within the tremolo bass. Both still have very subtle differences that make each interpretation unique.

@Paroles_et_Musique Жыл бұрын

@@cadedundon8616 Seriously, comparing Barton to Barenboim, whats wrong with you guys. I appreciate Paul Barton's dedication and I carefully listened to a lot of things he has done, particularly the WTC of Bach, but he is nowhere near professionals as Barenboim. He lacks flexibility, sound quality, he has difficulties making a cantabile sing naturally, he probably has difficulties memorizing works, which shows fragility of understanding the mechanics and structure, there is lacking of tension, dramatic power, passion, all those immaterial things which keep public captivated. Different galaxies, and if you can't observe it, you should stop comparing professional pianists, at this level piano is like quantum physics, one has to be specialized and understand what he is listening to, in order to have a valid opinion.

My piano instructor made me learn the first movement for a recital. I had never heard it before I was forced to play it. Never really did like it. Still don’t. After my recital I never played it again, but I learned the complete Moonlight Sonata which I greatly prefer to the pathetique, but stopped piano all together before perfecting it due to my obsession with growing cannabis plants. I really liked your timing here Paul, and that second movement digs deep into my soul every time I hear it. It’s one of my favorite melodies in classical music. Thank you for all you do.
