Fredkoning; There is a continuo part to this piece which is missing. It's missing because the runner, Hanz Grunner, with his portable keyboard in the case, is running to catch his train to the concert hall in order to join the performance. Unfortunately, he missed the train, and thus we miss a very nice continuo part!
There's something sort of pleasingly rockstar-ish about these guys. Look out, it's a bunch of Dutch recorder players with more sex appeal than they know what to do with! (I'm ordering their CD off of amazon, mark my words.)
very good performance, but I don't understand the connection in the movie between the running man en the music, should he join the group? Was he late? Or what?
I have the picture of the "Mad Hatter" when listening to this. I don't type this with malice for the piece cos it's actually very good...

No, this piece is composed by my father, Dick Koomans.
It's okay if you don't believe me. I would find it hard to believe, too, if a random internet stranger told me their father was the composer. :)

Um, right.
If you don't believe me, just check my school project videos. It shows my full name at the end.
And if I wanted to feel "cool", I would've picked someone from a rock band or something.

Does the big bass recorder has a double reed just like the bassoon. or.. something else xD
shinka1911 2 years ago
no, just a tube (called a bocal) leading to the same kind of head joint as the other sizes. Helps with wrist comfort, holding it while you play.

Haha, if the bass recorder had a double reed it wouldn't be a recorder, mate. ;)

Rofl Yeah
I saw that it had a bocal so I tought that it also had a reed. But I found out later that I was wrong xD
