Bach/Siloti Prelude in B minor TUTORIAL + NEW TRANSCRIPTION 

Thank you so much, Paul. I just heard Grigory Sokolov play this as his 6th and final encore at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. It was magical. His version seems close to Gilels. Can't wait to return to the US and work on this masterpiece using one of the Gould arrangements. arrangement.

This is absolutely excellent. Thanks Paul.

Absolutely VERY useful, and also a most wonderful sensitive rendering, better than many recordings

I can hear this Prelude till the end of times and never get tired of listening to it!

So I think I can safely say I am learning the Bach-Siloti-Gilels-Gould Prelude in B minor.

Thank You, this was a really nice, explanatory video. You Rock!

Thank You very much, Paul ! Wonderful..

Very interesting ! Thank you so much !

you play so beautifully

This was a great video. 4 years later I was able to purchase the various transcriptions from Doug Gould! I look forward to learning this beautiful piece. Thank you!

Left hand - broke chords - somewhat disguised....... easier for men, than for women with smaller hands. I found the notes on the net and have access to a Feurich grand in my "Chamber Club". Love it: Silk, velvet - and power!

Barton sei un grande ! Grazie .

This song is simply wonderful!

Wonderful video tutorial dear Paul! Hugs!

Great, thanks a lot

Thank you for yours and Mr Goulds effort in giving us the transciption for this masterpiece!! And the background info was really interesting, too. Time for some research on great pianists on my side :D

Thanks Paul! I've just purchased two of them from Doug. Love your videos. Keep them coming! 😀😘

Love it!! :)

Thank you so much for doing this video! I've been struggling with these chords for so long, not knowing how to overcome them. I will email Doug and request the 'smaller chord' versions. thank you!!!

The Bach-Siloti B minor is available in the Carl Fischer anthology of Siloti's transcriptions, or at the Siloti Archive held by Stanford.

I was born with piano hands/fingers...can easily stretch 9 notes but problem is, I'm still trying to learn the F clef notes....4 yrs later...still trying! LoL I'm 71, so should I give up? BTW, I've followed you for YEARS...not sure when I 1st sub'd...but your video of you holding little Ellie moved me to tears and then thru the years of you PURE love, patience and giving her the best life any child could want. YOU hold the KEYS to what the world needs... a loving daddy like you are....the world needs your example....OK, i'll try play this, but reading the notes isn't easy for me....I love my vintage pump organ and play by ear....little bit of sight reading "The Lords Prayer" on Pump organ...but not many views because its just a little on the geeky side.... but is an amazing OLD instrument that I love playing every day...HEY btw, we live 2 miles above BARTON PARK...I help with kids group and activities so I had a park ranger come give a talk about Beavers AT Barton Park...the tree where beavers chewed around it months ago is still there. Come to Oregon, stay in our big Motorhome...play some music at The End of Oregon Trail...lovely place here, but is cold....so brrrrr.

Because of the Doug Gould's website isn't working i made the transcription for myself and i gladly share with the ones that are interested. Here's the GoogleDrive link: drive.google.com/open?id=1pClnBDlGgoQLE7P8l44RIMOX1uvkJQKY Cheers

I'm quite obsessed with this piece these days. I have really small hands and the arpeggios in the repeat are driving me nuts. I had to simplify them in order to do it, but obviously it doesn't sound the same.

I heard gillel's version and I moved on. Then I heard Vadym Kholodenko play this and I immediately went after the score.

Hi Paul, great video - really nice to see the comparison between the different arrangements. Bit surprised though to see your comment below that you think WTC 10 Prelude is unrelated to Prelude No. 5. They seem *really* similar to me, so much so that I can hum one while playing the other (mostly)!

Thanks for this, it's really interesting. Unfortunately Doug Gould's websites seem to be down at the moment.

Спасибо))

Paul, if I may kindly mentioned, the live video recording by Emil Gilels dates back to 1977, not 1962. However, the audio is indeed from 1962.

It took practice but I did learn the original chords.

Lets make a tutorial on moonlight sonata 3rd movement, please.

Excellent video thank you. In my opinion the last 3 bars of the piece have a clear "coda" character, it is better to hear them just once, at the very end, and the repetition sounds quite unnatural and forced after those last 3 bars. If you make the repetition after the fourth last bar of the piece and you play the last 3 bars at the very end of the piece, this means only once, it sounds much better and natural.

Great educational experience, thanks. I wish these scores would have some suggested fingering , which is my downfall.

Nice you got dressed up for it…I’ll stick with Gilels, thanks!

Thanks for this video Paul. I'm not a fan of splitting the LH chords which I assume is Gilel's idea? I much prefer the rolled version in the last recording.

Paul, really enjoyed your series on Bach Preludes & Fugues finely getting round to hearing them at the age of 73. I play myself, but have noticed that your hands are virtually carbon copies of mine the only difference mine look a little older. I can span 8 you are probable 9?

7:50 Гилельс (транскр. Doug Gould)

Could I purchase a midi file with you (Paul) playing the simpler version?

Hello, I am interested in the transcriptions mentioned by Doug Gould. His websites are not live. Is there another way to get the transcriptions please? Thank you.

hello,is it possible to get this score,please?Thank you

Hello, I mailed the email to purchase the score but never got a response! Is there any other way to purchase the score?

Holaaa buenos días Sr .Barton no entiendo nada .soy Catalana España .y no entiendo nada .🎄😃🎄

Dear Paul, it is beautiful, can you show me a link without errors for this nice rearrangement. Thanks to you

What about the (Well Tempered Clavier) Prelude No. 10 in E minor?

Hi, has anyone tried to access the Doug transcription, the e- mail address doesn’t seem to work. Thanks.

I live in the USA. I tried to contact Doug Gould for a PDF of his transcription of the Bach Prelude/Emil Gilels but I can't find his link. The one you show on RU-vid takes me to DougGouldPiano.com but from there nothing. Can you help please?

how come you did n't mention Sokolov's recording :)

no response from Doug Gould unfortunately, any other way to obtain the transcription?

Sokolov plays this as well and, I think, is the better version.

listen to Ezio Bosso's version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pYm6sDKILwo.html
