Who's the harpsichordist?

@SuperZeroo As it says in the information section with this video: "The recorded excerpts are from Peter Watchorn's 2-CD set, released 2006, used by kind permission of Dr Watchorn and Musica Omnia." He has also recorded book 2, more recently.

WOW i shoudl've put more attention to my guitar professor, i want to play that D minor scale on the guitar it sounds so neoclassical it would be awesome for an intro

[guemboy]

wtf 15 notes but isnt it like most of them repeated, i mean like Dx is the same as E or is it refear as different pitch

[thebpl]

That's the point. Yes, notes like B# and C have to share the same key lever on the keyboard...but they are absolutely different notes, belonging to different scales. When they both get used in the same piece, the compromised intonation has to serve both those functions, on all the places where it overlaps and uses more than 12 differently-named notes.

I can really tell a difference; the sound is so pleasant; harpsichord sounds so dull in equal temperament, especially when it was written for older temperaments.

i have a question for u sir, how many tunnings are there? and which one is the best in your opinion

[symphoma]

one can make any kind of tuning one wants. the Octave is the same no matter what tuning you have.

the best tuning depends on the style of music and the preference of the player

Great video, am amazed you took the time to do this, score analysis tends to give me a headache.
