Lesson by Martin James Bartlett on Schumann's Kinderszenen 

Andras Schiff's Masterclass on Schubert with Bartlett is one of my favorite piano masters on YT. It's so nice to see Bartlett here, doing this class. There's growth both in character and skill and that's including all the amazing skill and character he already had during the masterclass. Plus Kinderszenen is one of my favorite collections of classical piano music ever done. Schumann is not flashy and dramatic like Beethoven or long and enduring like Bach. He expresses the captured essence of life, fleeting and beautiful.

Great lesson, and Martin seems so talented and humble!

This video gives such a good insight into the Kinderszenen. I have watched several times and I love it.

Great comments, to this wonderful pieces, very fine sounding piano by the way (warm and full sound).

Love these lessons, makes one think more like a composer when playing

Well done! I teach this myself as a performance exercise, and have done a lecture demonstration on it but had not picked up the BACH embroidery. Love your playing and hope you do more of these! x

This is a very valuable lesson! Thank you ...and very few instruments can beat a Bechstein of this quality.

I'd love to hear this guy live, very well articulated. As a Schumann lover, I absolutely love this!

Always happy to see videos of this man! I’d love to see more of him on this channel doing similar videos to this, of course. Thanks for the video!

Incredibly done. Very inspiring. Thank you.

Oh, perfect! I was just sightreading through Kinderszenen, what a happy coincidence.

Super lesson! Thank you!

Thanks for these insights

Wonderful pianist and brilliant iterpretation. But the camera view is disturbing and i hear the cameraman’s breathing during Träumerei, it’s a pity.

Een mooie lezing van dit mooi werk van Schumann

Wonderful pianist but, Schumann indeed left tempo markings. He was very specific.

While the lesson itself is wonderful, I found the constantly shaking and moving camera very disruptive.

Very interesting videos BUT in the next ones please keep the camera steady! It's unnerving!

Gorgeous fulgent varied tone esp. in no. 4 . Wow , the first thing he points out are the wonderful middle voices in no.1 .Catsaris is the most ravishing voicing and jewell tones in this .argerich's was the first I had ever heard but Horowitz , Arrau , Kempf , Cherkassky etc . Everyone plays these . Schumann sense for color , mood and most of all character one can always labor for clarity , directness

Fantastic video! Tell him (if you can) that I said that he is ‘our generations Horowitz in the making’. 👍🏻

I hear that Zoltan Kodaly used to spell his name in music just like bach did.

Oddly enough, I quite like the unsteadiness of the camera in this video

What happened at the Cliburn Competition? He didn't win I don't think.
