[yenyenx3]

[lumeemi2001]

Dude this is just beautiful... If u could post a Download Link I´d be most grateful. There should be no copyright shit for something this universal.

To everyone looking for where to get this specific recording, I found it on Amazon. Search for "C. P. E. Bach: Symphonies & concerto pour violoncelle". It's track #9 on the first album that comes up (at least today). The track's title is "Concerto pour violoncelle, avec deux violons, alto et basse en La Majeur, Wq 172: III. Allegro Assai."

great piece !!

[rococoness]

EPIC

[sosome57]

My first exposure to CPE. I'm very impressed. Great piece of music. It's a little Mozart-ian. Yes, I know he came before Mozart. Thanks for sharing!

[MRawn]

@sosome57 Mozart said of CPE Bach: "He is the father, we are the children". So the similarity isn't baseless.

[lumeemi2001]

@MRawn I believe in Bach (the father), Beethoven (the Son) and in the Holy Ghost (Brahms) of music :P

[Samoriah]

@lumeemi2001

It should have been "Brahms (Holy Ghost)". You sir are inconsistent. 

[pop9900]

where can i get sheet music for the cello part?

[chuckiesimone]

Amazing performance!! I have to know who these musicians are. Please email me at: vlcfred@aol.com I would love to know who did this recording. Thank you!! Alfred Gratta

[thatonemusickid]

Ah, the tuning is messing with me sooooo bad haha. I know it's tuned correctly at 430 but it's still driving my ears mad. lol

[had9s8888]

wow ...

[evenlevy1]

I suggest everybody should begin their morning with this piece of music. It's just plain adrenaline injected straight into your heart and makes you happier...

[evolve749]

@evenlevy1 I agree. It's like a sonic endorphin.

[evenlevy1]

An eyes open fantasy.

[verces86]

This music is captivating. I listened to it first time a few minutes ago, There is more talent to Carl that one expected.

It has such poise and fascination of a fantasy world, something like voyaging into a new world with great spirits and hopes. A really hopeful song in short. Such zest, there is a lot of character to this piece.

Wonderful. The last 4:57 and the final 5:17 are incredible conclusions.

[Juancholgc]

I don´t know the sex but this one piece are great in my body and heart.

[gassyjeff]

Damn.

[luboros]

The same music exists in a version for keyboard and orchestra. I think is CPE Bach Wq23

[pacfrodo]

It's used as the theme music for the TV program "Groot Dictee der Nederlandse Taal" in the Netherlands, a high-profile national spelling contest.

[Erwipro]

Jammer dat die uitvoering niet op YouTube te beluisteren is. Die is namelijk veel mooier. :P

[JesseReith1]

@pacfrodo And I love it!!

[Benswerts]

@pacfrodo En België ! :)

[obizin]

Tatatitatatum, tatatatitatatatatum... This is magnificent... Bach, you were an excellent father!

[animeviolalord]

What's this album called?  Where can I get it?

[mingthecat]

Where can I find more versions of this? Thanks.

[mingthecat]

The song to which I listened last was Shine on You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd. CPE and Floyd are like sex for the ears.  Jeeze this is good.

[Juancholgc]

I don´t know the sex but this one piece are great in my body and heart.

[Evextonn]

awesome piece !!! but is it the recording or are the strings out of tune ???

[HARMONICO101]

Classical Tuning

A = 430 Hz

[hig212]

yea math?

[ChronicMetamorphosis]

@Evextonn

To expand upon HARMONICO101's thoughts, standard tuning by today's standards is A = 440 Hz, which is not exactly a half-step down (in comparison to baroque tuning). Half-step down by today's standards is Ab = 415.30

Baroque tuning as HARMONICO101 already stated, is A = 430 Hz. That is just how they tuned their instruments back then. I am unsure of the exact reason why. I will have to ask my teacher about it.

[bsartist]

I'm in a better mood all of a sudden.

[verces86]

nicely put

[BigOhStudios]

What recording is this taken from? I'd like to have this piece on CD, but I don't much care for the surprise of getting "interpretation surprise."

[chibizaki]

Oh wow! I have this concerto on CD but love this version MUCH better. Has more zest and drive.

[EsperanzaGalera]

Harmonico, can you tell me what's the cd of this song too?? Thanks again :)

[Superjan1992]

Wow normal i don't like this kind of music but this is great :D

[tartinitrumpet]

Exciting for a cello concerto... :)

[verces86]

normally cello concertos are rather grim...true...look at Bach's Preludes..

[AytidaRed]

i heard this on the radio just yesterday - it's a great piece!
