Bourrée in A minor by J.S.Bach

[R21062]

La música barroca no es métrica, nunca lo fue y hay muchísimos documentos y fuentes originales de la época que lo afirman. Excelente!

Very nice instrument! I generally prefer the sound of the clavichord to that of the pianoforte, but this one fits my taste especially well, thank you!

[tunglour]

I wonder how the Bourree in E minor would sound on a clavichord

[skeptikulo]

I though it was written in E Minor.

" this Bourrée is from a suite for lute or harpsichord, which has been preserved in three manuscripts; two in E minor and one in A minor. The A minor version seems to fit the harpsichord well, whereas in E minor it is throughout very low." ....from Pekka Vapaavuori - Hannele Hynninen.

[skeptikulo]

I didn't know that, thanks.

debes de tener mas seguridad al tocar, mas cadencia.

[IldivoRenatello]

with old fingering? I'm impressed...

[yermyahu]

I know they make clavichords with aluminum frames/unfretted nowadays but I do admit I like the 'folksy' sound of the 15th~17th century fretted clavs. Very nice 16th century craftsmenship, and happens to be my favorite because of the portruded keyboard.

falta metrica

[tciaghi]

"non è questo modo di suonar star soggetto a battuta" del resto solo il computer suona la precisa metrica.

[IldivoRenatello]

la soluzione si chiama "tempo rubato"...

[greatcthulu]

This just needs some metronome work. It's better to play slowly and evenly than at a more accepted tempo but with bits where you stumble.

[tciaghi]

The metronome was invented in the nineteenth century.

[IbanezRG7321]

Don't keep rushing the tempo up and down. Other than that, you nailed all the notes.

Hello,

Is not this Bourree in e minor?

[tciaghi]

" this Bourrée is from a suite for lute or harpsichord, which has been preserved in three manuscripts; two in E minor and one in A minor. The A minor version seems to fit the harpsichord well, whereas in E minor it is throughout very low." ....from Pekka Vapaavuori - Hannele Hynninen.

In A minor version is to fit for the small keyboard clavichord.

tciaghi, I'm making a recital program for a school project. Can you tell me any special characteristics about this music? Specific contexts, historical saying about this bouree? What should we listen for in this music? Nice playing by the way.

[tciaghi]

I am mainly a maker of harpsichords and clavichords but what I can say about that bourrée is usually to the beat of dance track but personally I prefer the slower pace.

Thanks four your interest.

faltan los ritornellos...jajaja

[tciaghi]

il ritornello è stato eseguito sull'intero bourrée piuttosto che sulle due sezioni del pezzo stesso, peraltro i ritornelli non sono obbligatori.

[scionpol]

Sinceramente mi risulta che la prassi barocca volesse i ritornelli "obbligatori" perchè nella ripetizione venivano aggiunte le fioriture. No?!?!

[tciaghi]

Neppure le prescrizioni del medico sono obbligatorie, in ogni caso non esiste la prassi barocca ma esistono le prassi barocche, o no?

[scionpol]

La prassi credimi che come concetto in sè e per sè è una sola,soprattutto se riferita ad un periodo storico limitato nello spazio e nel tempo.

Altrimenti esisterebbero altrettanti barocchi per ogni prassi.

[allcontakt]

ma attento, ce ne sono i barrochi francesi, italiani, tedeschi...

ogniuno con la sua stettica caratteristica, della quale proviene una prassi. o no?

[scionpol]

si tratta di scuole nazionali che è un'altra cosa a mio avviso.

Perchè presto detto: la prassi barocca tedesca prevede, come le altre per altro, che i ritornelli blablabla!

[allcontakt]

si si,

ma figurati...

non sapevo che in Italia si dice "blablabla" come qua in Brasile...

[kkallebb]

There's something about the recording, or the positioning of the mike (or your performance?) that really doesn't do the clavichord justice. If someone wanted me to recommend the instrument to him, I wouldn't direct him to this video.

[tciaghi]

De gustibus non est disputandum.

[michaeljking]

Tanks for posting!! More please!!

Is that a triple fretted clavichord? Is there more volume with this type of clavichord or is it just the recording?

thanks!

[tciaghi]

Dear Michael, thanks for your interest.

This fretted clavichord is linked to the meantone temperament groups 2-3-4 double wire for key.

For this registration has been placed a microphone about half a meter away from the soundboard.

I believe that the broken bridges of Italian schools allow greater sonority compared to monolithic bridge of the other schools, moreover, the final sounds also depends on other thousand factors.
