Burgmuller Etude Op.105 No.6 (+ semi-tutorial message) Paul Barton, piano

[Cowzilla15]

I'm not trying to be a critic, this is simply a question. I see you have fabulous technique, but I noticed at the very end you kept down the peddle but took your hands off the keys, and all the teachers I've had always told me to hold my hands on the last notes until the song is done. I also live in America, not sure if there's much of a difference, but I was wondering if you normally do that or not? Or you just did it for the sake that it wasn't like you were playing for a recital.

Tocas muy bien, pero sería genial si primero te aprendieras la pieza de memoria para que no haya interrupciones en tu ejecución.

Por lo demás muy buen trabajo

I've only played Burgmuller once before so I haven't had much experience with his pieces. But this piece is simply beautiful, and the way you play it is amazing! It makes me want to try another Burgmuller piece too, but maybe not one as difficult as this. ^^;

Wonderful composition and playing!

Best wishes,

Paul these tutorials are brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I love the background to the pieces, the 'lateral' thinking behind them. They are great. I will try to promote your channel to others. What a gem of both tutorial and interpretation - fantastic and original in approach.

Paul!! Bravo!! mind doing Scarbo? I am having a hard time practising and learning it.

[Aul1kki]

That would be nice to see! It would be awesome!

[TzviErez]

Well done Paul!

Thanks Paul, I feel honoured! :) Burgmuller is indeed an underestimated composer. What an exquisite piece, with Slavonic elements and a mandoline-like sound. My dormant Russian blood responded to it right away!!

[pligana]

this is absolutely wonderful!!!!

Thank you very much for this video, Paul! This composition is beautiful indeed. I'm glad I've chosen it for study. I'm even more glad that you care about requests of your subscribers! Thank you so much!

Emotional part is greatly expressed in the video and now I can better feel the composition. But what about technical part? How do I play repetitions so fast yet keep my hand unstrained and melody clean? Could you give some hints and advices about it,please? How to develop this type of technique?

[PaulBartonPiano]

I should thank YOU as your drew my attention to this composer and piece. I will get back to you on those last questions.

This particular piece reminds me of a lady at Roseville railway station years ago who, each Friday morning had a coin collection box in front of her and played the xylophone. All jokes aside, Paul, this is a nice piece.
