Handel - Suite No.7 - Ouverture, Sarabande & Passacaille

[Riuk881]

I'm sooo jealous of your access to and ability to play! Very well done!

[dorislesing]

2.40 sarabande

This is magnificent, half tone flat or not! You are a gifted musician and it is apparent that you have worked very hard to get here. Contrary to popular opinion art great art is as much a result of hard work as it is innate ability; I don't like the word talent.

Not having played this in about two years, I plan to record a new version of this *relatively* soon, hopefully within the next few weeks! Stay tuned! =)

[amberlucido]

@irishmaestro

fool, you tear it up-- YOU ROCK!

[legendavy]

wow, i didn't realise Handel is THAT good, good stuff.

nice rendition too.

[chewymatty1]

bravo! i said that when u finished so it seems mean not to type it too lol

[Riedel777]

its g-flat minor

[irishmaestro]

Actually, it is in G minor, but the harpsichord was tuned to A=415 Hz (commonly called 'baroque pitch'), which makes th notes sound a semitone flat by modern standards.

[Knurftlul]

@Riedel777 really? can you hear that? do you have absolute pitch?

[Riedel777]

its not g-minor but g-flat minor.

VERY GOOD JOB!! =D

I don't think that i will ever be able to play as well as you do. it is very inspiring!

Happy Times..... dæmons rock u!

(that's mah signature)

[Gealach74]

I agree !!! well done!

thanks

[adiopunkskater03]

brilliant playing. I think the Passacaille is a really difficult piece, and you did great managing to keep up all the way through xD  great performance!

[0TheBell0]

Nice playing!

Anyway, maby you should mention the fact that this is a combination of several takes. Otherwise, people who realize that could think you wanted to hide it ;-) ! No offence,

Johannes

[irishmaestro]

The reason for having several takes is that firstly, the camera gave out halfway through the overture, and secondly, I was interrupted just before playing the Passacaille. I also cut excessive pauses between the movements, to provide a smoother performance.

[0TheBell0]

I'm sure you're a good musician, I just was worried because some people might think that you wanted to cheat.. So I gave you the hint to mention the cause in the video description.

For my share, I see you're doing a great job at the Harpsichord.

You should have a look at my channel, you might like some of my Interpreatations. I'm going to record and upload the Passacaille of this suite on the guitar soon.

[mistymango]

Great!

[climacofobia]

Well done! Bravo!

[adnukum]

Trance Cool...  jeez! d a z z l i n g

[baroqueboy]

Your cadences and ornaments are absolutely perfect. Bravo!

[lattieAGM]

Wow.. this is amazing. It's hidden treasure of Youtube. Thank you for playing and posting this piece. After long hours of workday, I found a piece of joy.

[vinguiali]

Bravo!!!

[indigoblue555]

HI! Just stopping by to have a short break on a working Sunday evening...and what did I find? A 7 minutes long pure delight!

Hope for more baroque stuff.Thank you so much

for posting!

[irishmaestro]

Oh, thank you! There are a few little mistakes in the video, so I'll probably have to re-take the Overture and Passacaille, but I'm glad you like it. =)

[Clavichordist]

Where? :-)

I've played these before too - very difficult.

[irishmaestro]

Oh thank you! The mistakes aren't *terribly* obvious, I suppose - I'm just a perfectionist. Nothing less than Scott Ross will do for me. =P

[Clavichordist]

I'm just as guilty about picking on the mistakes I've made on different pieces. I cringe every time I listen to myself playing something. That's why I haven't gotten around to posting anying up here yet on You Tube. ;-0
