J. C. Bach - Duet for Two Pianos in G Major - Mov. 1/2

[nuggie9511]

Its actually really funny how much sense this music makes on these forte pianos and harpsicords. It actually does sound more modern and driving then when played on today's pianos. Very driving.

[C0L050]

incredible the talent of bach and the style of mozart this is great

[Warlias97]

@C0L050 He taught Mozart, so really Mozart used his style :D

[Pierinopasquotti]

Caro Christian Bach che a Londra suonava assieme a Mozart bambino tenendolo sulle sue ginocchia.Tutta la sua dolcezza si trova nella musica del Divino, affettuosa e dolce e grata al suo maestro.

What is the name of the painting? I love it.

[superumbridgesud]

en general toda la música de Bach me encanta, más que ninguna!

[melancholyhumour]

How many Bachs out there could compose stunning and elegant music...

This is pure genius at its purest form...

[costylez]

Dis jam is live styll!! Big ups to the mans who uploaded!! This guy and his pops are to legit!!!

[nuggie9511]

@costylez LOL big ups to JC Bach

[monteverdi1567]

I've performed this on harpsichord, and have only heard it previously on harpsichords, but really enjoyed this performance on fortepianos.

[lovesGenet]

J.c.Bach very charming .I hear a lotta Mozart's style in this. Mozart adored him as a child & this is really got a charm of its own. Stay away from the expressionist cravings of that other son of Bach .Webern & Berg much more interesting if u want raving rambling recitative sounding stuff. But this is glorious !

[Tuxster3]

...for two pianos?!

I don't think so!

[sk8nruff]

@Tuxster3 why not? it's idomatic, fits the compass, and the two parts can't be played on the same keyboard.

[Pierinopasquotti]

Viva Cristian Bach e tutti quelli che fanno conoscere la sua bellissima musica! Grazie tantissime!

[MrSigy]

very nice !

[Orchidbeautyful]

Yes it's from the 18th Century but it is a square Piano not an grand piano

[khronos365]

I love the sound of the piano. Is it from 18th century?

[MrJorlop]

Great sonata! Is there a CD of this composition? I have never seen one. This sonata would make Mozart green of envy.

[monteverdi1567]

@MrJorlop several recordings are available, many on harpsichord. Look for JC Bach Op.5 no.5 (Sonata in G Major for two keyboards)

[Lindsey0097]

Great piece and a delightful preformance. In one word: Wonderful.

[DavidEberhardt]

This is a wonderful beautiful performance. I listen to it often. It is one of my very favorites. Some of it sounds like it could have influenced Mendelsohn's Wedding March. I wonder if this could be played on a harpsichord....

[Orchidbeautyful]

I hate the Modern Piano but this type of Piano is marvelous

[henhen7890]

@Orchidbeautyful idk but i think its called the harpsicord :P Not completely sure tho, but it is waht they used before todays pianos

[henhen7890]

@henhen7890 harpsichord



[petitequinte]

@henhen7890 There's something in between, called a fortepiano. That's what this is. :)

[ttomace]

@Orchidbeautyful ya.......contemporary music is rubbbish :(

[jwul28]

@Orchidbeautyful what is modern piano? I'm new to this instrument and I have difficulty to identify what's modern, what's classic, and etc... Could you give me an example of a modern song, since i know this one is not modern, it will give me an idea! Like... is Gonzales playing a kind of modern piano music? thx in advance!

[MsMatty709]

@Orchidbeautyful I agree, the modern piano is a bastardization of the true piano. It should be reserved for only those sappy romantic period pieces. These fortepianos fit this type of music very well, if only more people understood this! Oh well, we understand this that's what is important.

[baudecordier]

JC Bach was briefly a teacher of Mozart. Do you have any of JC Bach's solo works?

Thanks for posting this concerto!

[Teganor]

Wow. To the piece and the comments. I haven't seen such nice, well typed comments anywhere else for youtube music videos.

[mrmolinodelahoz]

I had only heard this piece played successfully on two harpsichords, but the pianos are very charming and correctly of the period.

[zdrastvutye]

tout a fait formidable. aussi convenable pour un film avec manteaux et sabres

[alexioco]

Is this piece in the Rococo?

[jnamadeus]

Yes, you can say so. Galante music is a term used more commonly.

[94David]

Excuse me, but I must point out that it happens to be his son JC Bach not the great composer JS Bach, of course his son is a great composer aswell.

[DavidEberhardt]

Thank you! I long ago lost an album of J C Bach with this on it that I bought in 1972. I have thought of it often.

[BenGabbay]

Such a pretty, uplifting piece! Bravo!

[AniaJedrzejow]

Bach potrafił być wesoły... podobno

[firebreathone2]

Often underestimated, but J.C. Bach is worth his weight in gold!

[dolofonos]

One might say the same of Handel but that would leave Bach at disadvantage!

[violatione]

@firebreathone2 C.P.E. and W.F. were better musicians and composers.

[what13521]

@violatione no

[ttomace]

@firebreathone2 b ut y IS he underestimated? i hav never heard of him....hes too gud!

[whomakemefeel]

It's kinda Challenge between them both

[MMesh89]

This is a piece I'm studying right now... Beautiful and funny! Very underrated

[Timinho6]

[currandera]

Love it - didn't hear that before - such a delicate, sophisticated, full of joy sound.
