in Turkish, there is a saying:"ellerinize sağlık", means:"health to your hands". i know in English it seems a little bit unusual, but i think it is the most suitable phrase for your work. thank you sir, for making me happy.
is there a piano in this? because if there is, my music teacher is assigning me the piano part and she said it was pretty difficult. if there is a piano, could you please give me some tips on how to play it? oh and please respond ASAP
@PianoDude1011 There is a piano transcription of the orchestral parts. I don't have any tips that would be useful in the short term. The way to prepare for it would be to practice the fugues in Bach's Well Tempered Clavier, and to play through the orchestral transcriptions of lots of Baroque music.
@smalin well i found a MIDI file of this and played it on synthesia and found out there are only harpsichords and violins (tell me if there are any others please), so do you have any tips for the harpsichord?
@PianoDude1011 It is for string orchestra (violin 1, violin 2, viola, violoncello, contrabass) with continuo (some kind of keyboard instrument, improvising off a part which is similar to or identical with the violoncello/contrabass parts). I don't have any general tips. It would like if you'd never acted before, and were about to perform a role in a play by Shakespeare. What you would need to learn could not be summarized by tips.
@smalin indeed! What you it takes to play pieces well is patience, hard work, practice, practice and more practice. This is coming from a piano student at university :)
@PianoDude1011 If you listen carefully you can hear the harpsichord playing chords on the beats. It might be what our piano teacher is treating as the "piano" part. However playing this is not really that difficult, so it probably isn't what you are going to play.
this is abit off topic but out of curiosity today society correlates attractive men and music are talents as stereotypically gay i wonder if such stereotypes existed during the 1700's
@smalin can the Music Animation Machine MIDI work the other way around, that is converting animations into music? do you know of any programs that can do such a thing?
@zanemelsom You can drop midi files into Finale and it will convert it to notes - you lose bowings/articulation/etc, but the raw notes are there. It's not that great, but it's the best you'll get.
@smalin Well he spent a lot of time performing in that coffee house in Leipzig. Every Friday evening I think. And he even wrote a small (almost) comic opera about the subject of coffee drinking: the Coffee Cantata
@LyanStalker09 Funny how it affects people differently. For me it's incredibly stimulating mentally and I listen to it in quite an animated way with lots of body movement...
@banginghats2 ... firstly may i lower the tone by stating giggidy, and i agree with you but that is the benefit to classical (non-lyrical) music in how it stimulates different listeners
@LyanStalker09 Yes, I think it's great that people can get different things from it. Everyone has their own individual response. Not only that, their response can change with time and experience too. There are many pieces of music I will never stop finding something new in, even after decades of listening.
does anyone have any ideas, tips, or ways to study the second violin part of this?? I have to have it memorized and played perfectly in a month. I have the notes right, just can't get the rhythms. IDEAS???
@grifentei652 Listen to a recording while following the score; conduct the beats, and sing along. If possible, do it standing up, and move your feet (walking in place) to the beats. Circle the places where you have trouble, and work on these. After a few days of this, it will all seem more obvious, and you can return to the violin.
@smalin I also need a good way to count the half notes tied to a sixteenth. Any suggestions? (ex. for a dotted quarter note, I say "quarter dot" because there are 3 syllables for 3 beats.)
@grifentei652 I don't think "counting" (in the sense of talking to yourself) is a good approach, because it's superfluous to the music. Instead, become more aware of the music's own internal pulse. If you're doing the "walking in place" thing I suggested, then each foot-fall is a quarter note; the beginning of the half-note is a left foot, and the tied sixteenth is the next left foot. If this seems unnatural/awkward, do the "walking" with two hands, in the score, first.
@grifentei652 What kind of trouble? Intonation? Fingering? Shifting? Bowing? One technique I use is to change the music (temporarily) to focus on different aspects of the problem separately. For example, in measure 61, play eighth notes (instead of 16ths) E-flat, C, D, B, C, E-flat, B, G --- outlining the 6ths (similar to measure 59). This eliminates the speed issue, but other things stay the same. Or, play those notes in pairs, as double stops, as quarter notes.
@grifentei652 Well, what you could try to do is to choose one note, like the F# on the D-string, and silently play the excerpts,but play that note aloud. This allows you to hear whether the note is played in tune with itself the entire time, and you can do this with all the notes. This REALLY helps with intonation.
this piece kind of means a lot to me, because the first time i played just happened to be with someone who i had the hugest crush on in music school... it brings back a lot of memories!
Simply wonderous. We need modern composers able to produce things like this.
It's a shame that my generation and on is pretty much abandoning great things such as this for things like rap, which has little "musical" components in it at all.
Nicely said, I completely agree with you, because like you said, my generation is stuck with musical disasters such as Eminem and crap like that, why can't we bring back music like this?
@7thTimeSlaughter Also we should go to riding horses instead of cars, and using candles instead of electricity, and maybe just maybe go back to writing letters instead of using the internet.
To strip human nature until its divine attributes are made clear, to inform ordinary activities with spiritual fervor, to give wings of eternity to that which is most ephemeral; to make divine things human and human things divine; such is Bach, the greatest and purest moment in music of all time.
Im playing this at school arranged for the clarinet, oboe and piano (I'm the clarinetist - Part 2 [pink]). Ive just finished AMEB gr 6, and my best friend (oboist - Part 1 [red]) has just finished gr 7. My favourite part is 2:42 and the hardest part for me is 3:18 .
Its really fun to see the shape of all the parts visually represented on top of each other after just seeing the score.
I sincerely hope that no one actually starts using Bach in elevators. It'd really get crowded, what with all those people staying in the elevator after their floor so they can keep listening.
@PersonMan1234 Heh-heh, that reminds me of the time I played Bach in an elevator, in the 1970s. It was after a concert at the art museum in Santa Barbara, and I was taking the harpsichord back to my car on the second floor of the parking garage. I was in the elevator with the other musicians, and somebody suggested we play there, so we set up our stands and started playing. After a few trips (during which only a couple of passengers could join us at a time), the garage attendant kicked us out.
So many people saying it takes age to appreciate Bach as more than just elevator music... My older brother has always been the one to force different music styles upon me (First rock, then metal, now classical). I'm fifteen and loving Bach.
wonderful! simply beautiful, elegant, flowing. Just picture someone dancing to this. Close your eyes and simply immerse yourself in it for four minutes. I guarentee a feeling of pride for the human race afterwards.
@SnickerDoodlesRock Mozart's music is charming, delightful, beautiful, epic but NEVER profound. On the other hand, Bach have written alot of profound music for the soul. ;-)
@smalin I would agree. The real challenge is making sure that one soloist does not over take the other, other than that it is a fairly easy piece of music and the parts are mostly equally hard. On a random side not, the second violin parts for Mozart are often a bit harder than first violin. It always feels like the parts are made for people gigantor hands like my teacher.
@smalin The first violin part is actually harder. I have mastered both, and the first part really stands out because of the amount of accidentals and weird notes. It's no wonder why the second part is in Suzuki book 5 while the first part is in Suzuki book 6.
I used to play the second violin part in high school. I thought it was a tad easier because it didn't go as high as 1st violin, as often... and i naturally hated shifting.lol
@darkspy123 I played this wih a friend and an orchestra years ago. I played the first violin and she played the second, but during rehearsals we would frequently play the other one, too. So in the end we knew both by heart :-). I´d say they´re about the same, both have their trickier bits and some easier bits.
@darkspy123 i play the second violin part in my orchstra and it seems hard... although i am in high school so im not sure how much harder it is to play like the orignal or different version. from my point of view, the second is harder.
i'm second violin in orchestra and during private lessons i've played the first violin part and i think it is much easier. but i guess it just depends on how you see it.
@grifentei652 I think the difficulty with second violins and otrher instruments is often that it is harder to follow them as they hardly ever take the lead. It´s always earier to sing or play the lead track.
@buddhagirl0819 Third position should not be considered difficult by a violinist. It should actually be one of if not the first alternative position learned as it is required to begin work on many of the two octave scales.There is also nothing weird happening in third position like some of the others it fits well in the hand and both parts go into third at one point or another or you can play some of it in the more difficult second position and just reach here and there.
I remember playing this piece with my teacher for a recital. We played it a ton faster because my teacher was the one playing the 2nd violin part (which starts first) and she set the speed at freaking presto or something that felt like it was off the damn metronome. It turned out swell though. If you play violin, you HAVE to play this piece.
Bach is my favourite composer btw, right up next to Vivaldi. :)
i used to hate bach, but somehow his music seems to make more sense the older i get. I'm 27 now, i remember listening to the brandenburg concertos in my teens and thinking it was like cheesy elevator music.
@chopper84a My piano teacher says that Bach has a maturity in his writing and that often it takes time before musicians understand or appreciate him. I currently do not like him either, but i like music that is immature and filled with humor so it would make sense.
@PianoKittyTree Different people takes different times to understand music. Usually it's old people who listens to classical but I'm glad I'm already appreciating classical music at middle age (since my teen years).
@chopper84a Different people takes different times to understand music. Usually it's old people who listens to classical but I'm glad I'm already appreciating classical music at middle age (since teen).
@chopper84a Lol when I was 8 I feel in love with Classical music because of Bach, 19 now. I hate most other music, just because of the lyrics. Classical is and always will be my #1 choice, Just born loving it. Or not
Your videos are so fucking informative I feel more intellegent everytime i read the description and listen to all these masterpieces. Out of curiousity, are you a programmer, proffesor, composer, or instructor? I can't imagine things like this coming from someone who's bored and has no real interest in the subject matter.
@Normin5 I'm nominally retired now, but in the past I've worked as a programmer, composer, conductor, and teacher. I'm passionately interested in this.
@hjfddfjdchkdchbxc Why on this good Earth would that be wrong? Life is far too short to worry about trying to compromise what you enjoy because you think others might not approve. Besides, baroque, and in particular the music of Bach is in my opinion some of the greatest music ever written.

I used to play the second violin part in high school. I thought it was a tad easier because it didn't go as high as 1st violin, as often... and i naturally hated shifting.lol

@darkspy123 I played this wih a friend and an orchestra years ago. I played the first violin and she played the second, but during rehearsals we would frequently play the other one, too. So in the end we knew both by heart :-). I´d say they´re about the same, both have their trickier bits and some easier bits.

@darkspy123 i play the second violin part in my orchstra and it seems hard... although i am in high school so im not sure how much harder it is to play like the orignal or different version. from my point of view, the second is harder.

@darkspy123 Same difficulty in my opinion

@darkspy123 i agree
i'm second violin in orchestra and during private lessons i've played the first violin part and i think it is much easier. but i guess it just depends on how you see it.

@grifentei652 I think the difficulty with second violins and otrher instruments is often that it is harder to follow them as they hardly ever take the lead. It´s always earier to sing or play the lead track.

@darkspy123 i would have to say the first is harder. more 3rd pos.

@buddhagirl0819 true, but that doesnt mean that the first is harder. like smalin said, they are about the same.

@buddhagirl0819 Third position should not be considered difficult by a violinist. It should actually be one of if not the first alternative position learned as it is required to begin work on many of the two octave scales.There is also nothing weird happening in third position like some of the others it fits well in the hand and both parts go into third at one point or another or you can play some of it in the more difficult second position and just reach here and there.

I remember playing this piece with my teacher for a recital. We played it a ton faster because my teacher was the one playing the 2nd violin part (which starts first) and she set the speed at freaking presto or something that felt like it was off the damn metronome. It turned out swell though. If you play violin, you HAVE to play this piece.
Bach is my favourite composer btw, right up next to Vivaldi. :)

i used to hate bach, but somehow his music seems to make more sense the older i get. I'm 27 now, i remember listening to the brandenburg concertos in my teens and thinking it was like cheesy elevator music.

@chopper84a And now, you realize it's really excellent elevator music! That's progress!

@chopper84a My piano teacher says that Bach has a maturity in his writing and that often it takes time before musicians understand or appreciate him. I currently do not like him either, but i like music that is immature and filled with humor so it would make sense.

@PianoKittyTree Different people takes different times to understand music. Usually it's old people who listens to classical but I'm glad I'm already appreciating classical music at middle age (since my teen years).

@chopper84a Lol when I was 8 I feel in love with Classical music because of Bach, 19 now. I hate most other music, just because of the lyrics. Classical is and always will be my #1 choice, Just born loving it. Or not

Your videos are so fucking informative I feel more intellegent everytime i read the description and listen to all these masterpieces. Out of curiousity, are you a programmer, proffesor, composer, or instructor? I can't imagine things like this coming from someone who's bored and has no real interest in the subject matter.

@hjfddfjdchkdchbxc Why on this good Earth would that be wrong? Life is far too short to worry about trying to compromise what you enjoy because you think others might not approve. Besides, baroque, and in particular the music of Bach is in my opinion some of the greatest music ever written.
