Bach Menuet from French Suite #3 on Harpsichord

[Joshuajlawn]

This young lady is wonderful! I hope she keeps it up.

I love the harpsachord, I like How it sounds like there se water droplets hitting a pond, Or maybe bubbles popping.

[alexgo30]

BRAVO

[D2Ci]

the pitch is definetly 392 Hz. That is wonderful.

[Hattakiri]

Why isn't this in Smash Bros Brawl?? Every sh***** piece'o cr** is there, but not this!! What a shame -_-

[smith55s]

Such a bizarre instrument, it sounds great.

[ScottishCaledonian]

She can come and work in my brothel

[JeriDro]

amazing !!!

[caparezzalive]

beautiful crap ... by no, the joke is played very well, who knows how much study is behind this short piece, but complicated. good ... really, surely you duccesso, if you agree ... I'm always speechless ...

[flipy911]

I'll always love the harpsichord :)



[gothicgrowler]

I always wanted to play harpsichord, but there are no harpsichords in my area :/

[Russischespionin]

I've wanted a harpsichord ever since I was 6. I have dreams that I'm playing harpsichords all the time.

[joohomom]

Tetris C theme FTW

[laurenoliver23]

This kid has some amazing parents to buy her a Harpsichord. That's love!

[InkStudiosVideo]

Tetris lol!

good job

[karahan246]

BRAVO !!!!!

[ScottishCaledonian]

Only fucking wierdos who rape animals and dress in their dead mother clothes play harpsichords.

[TheCheezWizz]

@ScottishCaledonian who killed the clothes?

[helpdonate1]

@ScottishCaledonian whats up dinkus?

[rflood89]

@ScottishCaledonian and only people who get no sex write such bullshit!

[ralfjacobs]

@ScottishCaledonian i bet you that this scottish idiot rapes sheep and dresses in his mothers clothes (thats the same woman that he killed, because she didnt love him when he was a child)

[D2Ci]

Well, she doesn't need our congrats. She must have known she is wonderful.

wish had the opportunity to touch a harpsichord but i don't even have a proper electronic piano. I don't want to listen anymore. I want to play...

I'm turkish. That's the cause I can't...

[Leviticus192728]

It would be wonderful to have such a talent.

[elotrain]

16 people think she's slightly messing up Tetris theme C

[sebastianbecquer]

clavicin

[diegornelas7]

15 people think she´s playing a piano

[Nesplayer]

Very great stuff, kudos to Anna! FIVE STARS

[Bachsious]

where can i get this score with fingering recommendations?

[Necrosturbator]

Ugh, what's with those gay floral patterns all over the instrument?

[ifitsfunnytome]

Haunting as Bach intended..Bravo!

[GuitarExplicit]

LET'S PLAY TETRIS!

[hwoods01]

The music was written for this instrument.. Bach wrote music around the capabilities of the musical instrument.. She played it perfectly on a device in which is was intended for.. Awesome.

[XHissyXKinzX]

When I'm older, I can see myself buying a harpsichord rather than a car. <3

[hbmp88]

@XHissyXKinzX I would totally mortgage a house for one! LOL

[XHissyXKinzX]

@hbmp88 Good idea! XD I suppose I could do without food for a while, too.

[morsmordre777]

I have a question, Is this piece played in 3 or in 6? Sometimes it sounds like it is a strong 3 and sometimes it feels like a sudden 6. Can anyone clear it up?

[matsuuradesune]

I hope she grows up to at the very least, continue playing. That or I just have an affinity for music.... I'd invest in a Muselar Virginal or Clavicytherium for her.. :-)

Thank you for uploading this video!

[pstank9262]

Why is there two sets of keyboards?

[EmilyRules971]

hey, whats the difference between the top set of key and the bottom set of keys ???

someone reply pllllzzzzz :) :)

[Shogunmiyuchan]

shut your eyes you'd swear someone was playing Tetris ^_^

[Butterbrot207]

@Shogunmiyuchan

suck a dick weaboo

[brewennumoore]

Ah, Thank you!! I listened to this in my music theory class and have been searching for it ever since! It's also cool to hear and see an actual harpsichord, not just a setting on a keyboard.

[juanxD31]

Que hermosa.

[JuanPaccl]

de lujo

[barillaro]

I love you anna! hahaha

[Jimlead]

Awsome! I wish my future daughter could play like you!

[SVAFnemesis]

she was possessed by JSB

[Iilita3223]

She looks very young, and to be able to play so well at that age....I'm breath taken by her talent. Well done.

[MegaZsolti]

nintendo was smart to put this in tetris :D

[kandutery]

tetris song!!

[Chichiri520]

I love this kind of music! It's so graceful, elegant, and soothing too.

[MysteriousMe44]

I know why this is my favourite musical instrument. It's so wonderful. And she really played that Menuet very well! I wish I could see one harpsichord in reality one day...

[xlarve2010]

слишком медленно - если играть Баха, то виртуозно, а не полуразучиваемо

[crediama]

Brava, complimenti

[MaliPezo]

wonderful

[TheSkyHMaestro]

GOD, I love the aristocratic sounds of the harpsichord!

I really, really, really, really needed a break from having pop forced on my eardrums all day... It's maddening.

Speaking of aristocrats- this is and some other pieces are perfect since I'm writing a story about an transhumanistic/masochistic socialist princess/empress.

[PETERFISC]

i listen to this on loop while playing tetris

[spiritfingers1]

Well done! Great to see a young piano player playing one so well after only a short run through. Have always loved piano and the harpsichord even more.

[chopinvalseop42]

So does she have the privelage of playing this harpsichord each and every day at her convenience because it's her parents'?

[rob07960]

You are correct! In fact, Anna studies piano only. She recorded the Bach after only a few minutes to familiarize herself with the harpsichord keyboard

[DUI5MSN]

@rob07960 I love it!!!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[morsmordre777]

Correct me if im wrong, but im guessing that she started on piano first before she switched to harpsichord.

[georgesorosisgay]

wow!

[chrisGTO66]

in my opinion, the most beautiful instrument ever created

[DefyingGravity671]

I'v always loved the harpsichord. Great Job! I wish i could play my tuba that well

[kulairock]

would her marry me when we get older?

[gavinfarkas]

What's the disposition?

[mattpianist]

Fantastic! What a beautiful rendition! This is superb.

[novusstrigiform]

I love the sound of a harpsichord so for the first time I look for it on you tube. So heres this kid on a harpsichord, well Im here why not listen? I was not dissappointed. Magnificent, bravo! Glad I checked it out.

[thegothicdolly333]

Oh my god!!!!! She plays sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oo well and sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo beautifully!!!!! And she's so young!!! I wish I could play the harpsichord but I can't find anyone to teach me..... :((( :((( :(((

[georgesorosisgay]

beautifuly played! bravo

[EdmundStAustell]

Now this is a truly beautiful sight: a talented child playing a wonderful reproduction of an ancient instrument Of course, they are expensive—they have to be hand made. But it's a matter of priorities. A car also costs a lot. I built my own about 8 years ago. It would have cost 15,000 new, and I built it for about 6,000. However, it takes a long time. It took me a year: six months to build it, and six more to voice it....that's the hard part. But I just love it. It was worth it!!

[rob07960]

@EdmundStAustell

Thank you so much for your kind words! Friends and fans of Anna invited her to record the Menuet on their harpsichord. Anna had never played one before and did a run through before recording it to get used to the action.

[LutzDerLurch]

@EdmundStAustell I am inclined to buy a Kit for the english Bentside Spinett form Hubbard (hubharp.com) .. I still wonder how much perfect knowledge is necessary to make a good instrument from the kit...I am rather talented at crafts, but...

[daasvand]

Excellent playing and articulation, it is a skill to play this sort of instrument as it has no sustain pedal.

[peteacher52]

Well done Anna; you're a credit to your teacher as well as to your own dedication to hours, days, weeks and months of practice and study to achieve the stage you are now at. Add three years since the recording was made ... wow!! Greetings from NZ.

[y34r]

so Castlevania-ness

Barouqe music FTW

[TheFardle]

Tetris.

[AramisHornungMoraes]

awesome

[palomasex]

wow!!

[mybuddyjesus]

this is badass

[Tenifus]

Very nice video! I want a harpsichord so badly!

[GitarenEnBananen]

wow this is so good

[vacuumlover1]

Play Peter Griffin.

[plugee]

@vacuumlover1 What do you mean? Why does everyone keep saying this? And why does it get thumbs ups?

[freeeekyyy]

Very impressive.

[heartsoul788]

shes so adorable, and talented

[hybridmcgee]

An excellent addition to any room I might say. Plus you rule at that thing! Heck, if you can do it...

[MoonliteKnight]

That's a rockin' cover of Tetris Type C she's playing there

[anb740]

@MoonliteKnight I was trying my best to remember what video game this was used on. Thanks for the reminder!

[earthkrew]

good

[adipranav]

Awesome!

[RedWasabii]

And people say youngsters shouldn't play Bach because of their immaturity! Really the key to playing Bach is to rid oneself of all influences and biases.

[theresidentone]

Wow she is god.

[jaikem6]

exelente!!

[Bobtailthecat]

12 people so far, got owned by a tetris block!

[Bobtailthecat]

You have been warned: watch out for falling blocks when you play this song!

[azadmaksoudian]

Bravo, j'aime beaucoup ton interprétation. Continue à diffuser d'autres morceaux.

[Tenifus]

I love the sound of low notes on the harpsichord

[Ravel87]

Awesome.

[Ianthe22]

A bit slow in the beginning. But the little girl in this video plays it very well and what an beautiful instrument.

[guitartappingpro]

omg where can i get an Harpsichord ?????

[rob07960]

@guitartappingpro

Harpsichords are usually made on order from a maker. You can Google harpsichord makers. or you can assemble one from a kit if you're handy with woodworking.

[xxxXGuNzXxxx]

@rob07960 Yours has a beautiful design.

[SuperSkeletonGirl]

@guitartappingpro You can also find them at antique shops, but there very old and often bought as a decoration piece. 

[daytonmlivingston]

Of course, they are probably rich snobbs.

[thehollows]

@daytonmlivingston so?

[threepipeblog]

Bravo Anna!

[witchcraftlord]

some one thought that this person was playing just the way it is written, without adding any notes, well that person must not have a good ear because i can hear part she has added , extra notes in the bass line in section b, and theres another which is more noticeable

[kr192101]

I believe that this is the original harpsichord that Bach did in his early days. great song.

[Orchidbeautyful]

is it french, german, italian, or flemish harpsichprd?

[rob07960]

@Orchidbeautyful It is an American maker, Robert Wilson

[witchcraftlord]

@rob07960 Orchidbeautyful was refering to the style of the harpsichord, it doesnt matter where the maker is from, i played a french double similar to the one in the video , it was built buy Americans living in Canada.  go figure

[Totennebel]

@rob07960

Yes, the maker is American. But there are 3 general types of harpsichords. It doesn't have much to do with the country where the instrument is made. ;-)

[Totennebel]

@Orchidbeautyful

Sounds like a French harpsichord to me.

[InbictaProductionzZ]

@Orchidbeautyful the building style is flemmish, i suppose

[superluisluis94]

It's Tetris Theme C!! :O

[iorixs]

nice! im trying to learn this on recorder

[Stehnz]

Do you prefer playing on piano or harpsichord ?

[onerizle]

Rox hard

[moonshine31]

Wow thanks for sharing this nice Bach piece, very well done. I got to learn to play this on the piano like Gould does now... Hope you never stop playing the instrument, you are very good.

[locomotifx]

I liked this. Didn't notice that it was such a young woman, since i'd only spotted her arms when i'd looked at the clip, 'til near the end. I thought it was a very musical performance, meant in a nice way. Thankyou for sharing it with us.

[amyleeluvr]

What an amazing player. I would like to know something, How old was Anna when she first started playing the piano? And when did she first play the harpsichord? I am just in awe of her AMAZING playing.

[witchcraftlord]

i know people that build harpsichords, and something i learned that some might not know, a different between modern pianos and good harpsichords, with a piano it is assembled like a machine in a factory, screwed and glued, and very hard to maintain over the years because most parts in a piano are not interchangeable like a harpsichord, and the glue used in pianos, doesnt last forever and cannot be glued over again, plus pianos are so heavy and take longer to tune

[pon58sonby]

who built this wonderful sounding harpsichord?

[rob07960]

@pon58sonby It was built by Robert Wilson of New Jersey, USA

[WooyCaWoowian]

Would you be able to buy a Harpsichord without it being 50x the amount of a Grand Piano?

[rob07960]

@WooyCaWoowian Harpsichords are not that expensive. One like the instrument in the video can be purchased for about $20k.

[WooyCaWoowian]

@rob07960 Okay, that should be better than what I thought. Thanks.

[ClueLou]

@rob07960 thanks much as a new car these days.

[jack6565]

@rob07960 How i wish i lived in your world where i could say.. Yea man. Only 20k!

Come to my hometown in Australia and live for a few weeks. Youl love your 20k A lot more.

[Bluehawk2008]

Oh yeah, $20k is practically just the spare change between the cushions.

[moonshine31]

@Bluehawk2008 Well I just happened to check upon in between the cushions and am now short of 19,998.71 $ to get the harpsichord.. Got to go check the sofa in the basement now... wish me luck buddy...

[satchisthebest]

@rob07960 and of course, there's always the option of a spinet

[GruntofAction]

@rob07960

Wow. Only $20,000. Such a freakin bargain.

[rob07960]

@WooyCaWoowian Harpsichords are not more expensve than pianos. Usually less.

[witchcraftlord]

@WooyCaWoowian  ya.... um grand pianos can be $9000-$170,000 thats baby grands to concert steinways, harspichords are $14000- $20,000 depending on the size, and weather it was 1 or 2 keyboards

[DarkShiva69]

beatiful =D

[CestusInfernalis]

I´m perpexed O.o

Most impressive playing. I wish I could play these instrument, too.... perhaps I´m so stupid...

Please make more of those vids....

[mdroach9]

such a beautiful looking instrument

[xxxguitargodxxx1989]

splended

[TKTrav]

god

perfect rendetion

[grbtruck]

Very well played I wish to thank you for performing such a beautiful piece and sharing it with all of us.

[Greenman422]

Flawless interpretation

[snofthndr]

how old are you? (or the person playing if she does not own the account)

[rob07960]

@snofthndr Anna was 11 when this was recorded.

[knihomol2]

very nice!

[jacobbengali1]

Maestro,Maestro, you will be recieving an invite to play at my court of Hablock.

In ye olde times did play,

at royale banquets where ostrich plumes on displaye

A troubador strummeth on his lute

embroidered ermine were his boote

[witchcraftlord]

haha

[edthemetalhead]

does anyone know where I CAN GET THE SHEET MUSIC FOR THIS COMPOSITION??????

[rob07960]

@edthemetalhead It is available everywhere classical music is sold.

[witchcraftlord]

go to a sheet music store, or long and mcquade , purchase " French Suite #3 by J.S.Bach, you can find that in a book with 6 suites, if you cant find the single suite in its own edition

[witchcraftlord]

@edthemetalhead try ebay, or long & mquade

[tahu545]

@edthemetalhead IDK if you still care now a month later, but search on google Tetris theme sheet music. Look for a URL that has something to do with gameboy-sheet-music or something. Select Tetris Type C.

[FallingLikeAlice]

Bravo, and well played. It was delightful to listen to you play.

[Solaris1992]

This is particularly true talent!!!!!!!!!!!

[isomolle]

Both the performance and the instrument are really impressive

[Impalamark64]

Wow! That was very, very, VERY nice! I could only hope to play that well. Beautiful instrument, too. I'm glad that the great pieces of music aren't lost on the next generation.

Harpsichords are my favorite! Compared to the piano, they're very bright, very cheerful sounding. Modern pianos sound way to muffled.

[dfw3355]

I enjoyed this. Keep up the good work.

[bitesh]

yes, this little girl kicks the harpsichord equivalent of ass.

[bubbelah]

French suite on a french harpsichord

[Julien777WH]

I'm listening to this song 25x a day, she's the only one who play the harpsichord so nicely !

[homerilias]

She's a natural.

She plays it it like a clockwork, and I love it that way.

Only a child can do this, still there's interpretation, but unconcious, and that is the only real and natural way.

I don't hear other recordings of this any more.

[PatTheStalker]

dang kid. just, dang

[homerilias]

Still I like this performance better than any other I've heard so far. It sounds so exactly right the way she planys it. I liked performances of this from others before I heard this recording here.

[Castor68]

Amazing!! .. I love the harpsichord.

[sealnit]

very nice Anna!

[flyingcatlara]

OH not only it's perfectly played, it also brings back the memories of how i spent and still spend playing video games and wasn't so social... This song makes me cry of thinking back. Bach did such a wonderful job, and so did you.

[flyingcatlara]

By video games I mean that Tetris was always my favourite.

[Stehnz]

you still have the time to change things

[darkinglory]

Tetris FTW!!!!

[glowygirl]

this is great!

[witchcraftlord]

i love this piece,  good job

[NadrianATRS]

other than minuet being spelled wrong I thought this was beautiful ! thanks !

It's not spelled wrong. "Menuet" is the German spelling Bach used. "Minuet" is the Englishized or Americanized spelling.
