@MannicMailman Words can't be intelligent. They can be technical, but only living beings can be intelligent. Intelligence is the brain's natural ability to process information.
Also, in a discussion about music, you have to use technical vocabulary related to music.
Using a morphology, syntax and sophisticated language that's incomprehensible to you isn't a sign of being a "dickhead", but writing idiotic comments is.
@hoopsmaster13 You could analise the movements of his arms and find out that he's not conducting anything from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, I'm not a conductor, so I'm not very sure!
However, it is actually interesting how he conducts with his arms instead of using a baton. Please understand that he is a harpsichordist and not a conductor!
Anyway, the result came out fine, and that's what matters.
@SoFriendy Ha, ha, ha! You are deliberately trolling! You actually think we are going to believe that we will die in two days or that the name of a girl I love will appear on the screen, or that posting a comment can save us from death!

Thank you for entertaining us!
@sam0xin Actually, in classical music, there are art songs, or lieden.
However, it's true that a piece of music requires a singer to be called a "song".
If it doesn't use a singer, it's called a piece, composition or work, or, if you want to specify a type of piece, than it can be a symphony, a concerto, a sonata, a string quartet, a concerto grosso, an overture, a partita, a fugue, a prelude, a nocturne, a string trio, a piano quartet, a piano trio, a wind quintet, et cetera.
The answer to your question is that Bach composed this because he knew music theory, and, just like you have said, he was a talented genius.
And yes, composing this is an example of genius, although there are other examples of genius too, not necessarily musical genius. (Take Albert Einstein, for example..)
@DannyOcean39 I agree. It's played normally. Playing near the bridge would be sul ponticello, which was an extended technique literally unknown until the XX century.
@violinistx100 Rap is also music because it's sound organised into a composition. What people like is a matter of taste.
It's true though that classical music stands the test of time, but rap doesn't. This is because rap songs are temporary fashions, in a large part among stupid teenagers, but classical music is fine art. I respect popular music, but the popular music songs that came out about 60 years ago are forgotten, but Bach's music has been remembered for nearly 300 years.
@anonymous67899 Yet another comment about the dislikes! This is already the second page in the comment box and this is already the second time I've seen a comment like that on this video! And here's the score I give you for your originality: 0/10!
I take some issue with the accenting on pairs of sixteenth notes, loud-soft, loud-soft, loud-soft...as in first violin at the end of bar 3. Also makes it be long-short, long-short. Other than that I like the interpretation.
I don't care what kind of music you listen to you should always have it in your heart to respect this and other classical music. I'm 32 years old and listen to almost everything. I can listen to the craziest hip hop song but listen to this and enjoy and respect the heck out of it. Cheers.
@rogerleos By the modern tuning, A4 is 440Hz, but in the past, there didn't use to be a universal tuning. It's a historically informed performance, played on period instruments, so it sounds lower.
this never fails to leave me feeling devastated and awed all at once. the opening melodies almost sound like they convey the entire history of human emotion. this song would sum up humanity to an alien species more succinctly than anything else ever could...
@TheShadowreaper72 Man i also like metal, but this is beyond anything, this is just perfection. Dragonforce live errate many notes, look at this guys, they are playing live without a drum that marks the tempo, playing instruments a million times more difficult to execute than guitar. Hope you stop making such stupid comments arround youtube.
@TheShadowreaper72 Ok, dude think what you want. I just admire this for 2 reasons: 1; When bach did this he made it with perfection, every note is in the place for a reason. 2; This music has many more soul than any actual band.
"good music which this is not". Yeesh! this is one of the most beautiful pieces in the history of music. By the way, it's not that hard to play technically, just hard for a group to phrase so beautifully and sensitively together.
@ScientificExploits I'm not telling how to feel music, the important thing is feeling it. There aren't wrong ways to feel the music, but some music just don't make you feel anything.
@ShawnX3 I don't listen to Lady Gaga, but, although classical music is usually more serious than popular music, and Bach's music is also surely of greater cultural significance than Lady Gaga's, I think Lady Gaga also diserves respect.
Popular music is often critisised on classical music video comment boards, but I think it also diserves respect because there are people out there who like it. In fact, Lady Gaga's songs apply to a significantly larger audience than the works of Bach.
@solowingzero There is a reason behind that. And the reason is because, regardless of whether you like a piece or not, many classical pieces have intrinsic musical value, sounds that in virtue of their sole nature please the ear, and that is why all future societies, regardless of their values, will enjoy and appreciate this music, while pop and rock, even that which some would consider good, will vanish.
@solowingzero Exactly. That's what distinguishes a classic from just a popular fad. This is the music that shall continue to withstand the test of time, and remain etched in the adamant of history as it rightly should.
Today's music lacks the beauty and depth of classic music. Most of our music today has no meaning. It's nice to see that people still appreciate well made music. Saying that Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber are better is very insulting. I am a kid and i even know this!!!
@Trenedy33 Although I listen to classical music and not Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga, I have to say that their music, just like all art that is enjoyed by man, should be respected.
Bach was much more talented than nearly all of the popular musicians today, but popular music also diserves to exist and be enjoyed by the people who like it.
@Aurenier I actually agree with you that classical music is usually better at standing the test of time than popular music. And it is true that classical music is art music, but popular music isn't.
However, why does everybody comment about popular music on a video of a serious music performance?
Someone said that Bach's music is god talking to man and Mozart's a man talking to God. Does any modern mass music, Lady Gaga or any other group or singer, inspire such feeling ? I don't believe it...and every great rock stars, as Led Zep, Deep Purple, Queen have always been listening to classical music. I am french and I remember having seenonce on TV Serge Gainsbourg considering his art as something amazing, minor to what the music has to be.
Right here, in the comments of this beautiful song, I don't even wanna SEE people argueing about Gaga or Bieber. Please, don't even give a response to the trolls.
And I can't believe people are still voting comments up which are about the few people who dislike the video. Please, these are old and not funny anymore. Come up with something constructive or shut up.
@tedissmall321 How funny that you actually thought this was a piece about "air". Do you still think "the slight stringed crecendos really accentuate why the song was named air"? LOL
@tedissmall321 Geezus. This is not an impressionistic piece about air! Suites of the time often included an "air" or "aria". "Air" is simply the French version of the Italian word "aria", which is an accompanied song. Instrumental arias were common in the Baroque. Early 18th century composers even thought of a choral movement in a cantata or oratorio as a choral aria. Bach's famous "Goldberg Variations" for harpsichord open and close with an aria!
m a heavy metal freak but i really like this. I love Yngwie Malmsteen´s music and he loves bach and i can hear how he comes up whit his music now. This is not that far away from rock musik.. I am sure that Bach had been a rocker if he was alive.
@temperheaded1 The original suite was in D major. August Wilhelmj, a late 19th century violinist, lowered the key of the second movement (the Air) down a major 9th to C major so he could play the entire movement on the G string of his violin.
@tbcass This is a historically informed performance. Do not assume everyone everywhere tuned to to A440 since the beginning of time. People are not born with their ears tuned to A440. A440 tuning was not adopted as an ISO standard until the 1950s, and then only after decades of lobbying by the damn American instrument manufacturing industry. Yet some big philharmonics tune higher. Period ensembles, like this one, tune lower or higher, depending on the music. There are no A440 pitch police.
@wcbroccoli While all that may be true it is important to have a standard by which all musicians adhere or communication becomes impossible. Imagine if every instrument was tuned to a different standard how difficult things would be. This is especially true with instruments that are non tunable or difficult to tune. For those reasons I applaud the American musical instrument industry for their efforts.
@tbcass In the early decades of the 18th c. the custom in church music was to tune strings up to Organ Pitch (A465) and winds coming out of France that could only tune to Chamber Pitch (A415) or Low Chamber Pitch (A392) had their parts transposed up. Later, the custom was to tune everything down to Chamber Pitch and transpose the organ part down. Several pitch "standards" would be used simultaneously in the same ensemble & same performance: Organ(A465), Chamber(A415) and Low Chamber(A392).
@tbcass Baroque organ tuning (A465) was based on Renaissance wind tuning. Chamber & French Chamber tunings of the late 17th to early 18th c were the result the design of winds coming out of France during that period. In the 1st half of the 20th c. the American wind instrument mfg. industry lobbied for A440. Throughout history the wind mfg. industry has influenced ptich standards.
The musicians in the ensemble need to tune to each other, but they don't need to tune to the audience.
@tbcass It's important that musicians in an ensemble tune to each other, but they don't need to tune to the listener.
You, the listener, think you are hearing this ensemble playing in Db only because you naively assume everyone is required to tune to A440. In fact, this ensemble is playing in D (not Db) at Baroque chamber pitch.
You kids today with your Bach and your enlightment and your orchestras and your classical music and your baroque and your wigs and your D majors... GET OFF MY LAWN!
This piece is so beautiful that it was sang in a Nobel piece prize concert in 2003 by the late Jan Werner. Yes people, they had put a lyrics on it. Look it up. Stunning performance.
@nequillim. Dude, are you serious? Look, I really think that you can't say that Gaga is better than Bach. Bach is Bach. Is like saying 'Oh, Madonna is better than Beethoven'. Do you really think Gaga will be remember in a hundred years? why Bach is famous even today? Also, it's not just a song. It doesn't have lyrics, ok, but even without lyrics, it say something. It makes you feel something. I am really sorry for you... You will never know what is FEEL the music.
@IzzieCobain I disagree, well not about how Bach is far superior. You can't tell someone how to fell music, or that they are feeling it wrong. Bach is greater than Gaga will ever be i agree.
wow, the orchestrator gets so lost in it. He must really love what he does. I also noticed that some of the musicians play with their bow so that the hair isnt flat against the string. they play with just the edge of the hair, kind of interesting. Anyone know the reason for that?

@tedissmall321 How funny that you actually thought this was a piece about "air". Do you still think "the slight stringed crecendos really accentuate why the song was named air"? LOL
wcbroccoli 6 months ago
@tedissmall321 Geezus. This is not an impressionistic piece about air! Suites of the time often included an "air" or "aria". "Air" is simply the French version of the Italian word "aria", which is an accompanied song. Instrumental arias were common in the Baroque. Early 18th century composers even thought of a choral movement in a cantata or oratorio as a choral aria. Bach's famous "Goldberg Variations" for harpsichord open and close with an aria!

m a heavy metal freak but i really like this. I love Yngwie Malmsteen´s music and he loves bach and i can hear how he comes up whit his music now. This is not that far away from rock musik.. I am sure that Bach had been a rocker if he was alive.
I will listen more to Bach i think.
Awesome!

This Whole Suite Was on the g String

@temperheaded1 The original suite was in D major. August Wilhelmj, a late 19th century violinist, lowered the key of the second movement (the Air) down a major 9th to C major so he could play the entire movement on the G string of his violin.

@tbcass This is a historically informed performance. Do not assume everyone everywhere tuned to to A440 since the beginning of time. People are not born with their ears tuned to A440. A440 tuning was not adopted as an ISO standard until the 1950s, and then only after decades of lobbying by the damn American instrument manufacturing industry. Yet some big philharmonics tune higher. Period ensembles, like this one, tune lower or higher, depending on the music. There are no A440 pitch police.

@wcbroccoli While all that may be true it is important to have a standard by which all musicians adhere or communication becomes impossible. Imagine if every instrument was tuned to a different standard how difficult things would be. This is especially true with instruments that are non tunable or difficult to tune. For those reasons I applaud the American musical instrument industry for their efforts.

@tbcass In the early decades of the 18th c. the custom in church music was to tune strings up to Organ Pitch (A465) and winds coming out of France that could only tune to Chamber Pitch (A415) or Low Chamber Pitch (A392) had their parts transposed up. Later, the custom was to tune everything down to Chamber Pitch and transpose the organ part down. Several pitch "standards" would be used simultaneously in the same ensemble & same performance: Organ(A465), Chamber(A415) and Low Chamber(A392).
wcbroccoli 6 months ago
@tbcass Baroque organ tuning (A465) was based on Renaissance wind tuning. Chamber & French Chamber tunings of the late 17th to early 18th c were the result the design of winds coming out of France during that period. In the 1st half of the 20th c. the American wind instrument mfg. industry lobbied for A440. Throughout history the wind mfg. industry has influenced ptich standards.
The musicians in the ensemble need to tune to each other, but they don't need to tune to the audience.

@tbcass It's important that musicians in an ensemble tune to each other, but they don't need to tune to the listener.
You, the listener, think you are hearing this ensemble playing in Db only because you naively assume everyone is required to tune to A440. In fact, this ensemble is playing in D (not Db) at Baroque chamber pitch.
wcbroccoli 6 months ago
@tbcass Like me and many people have already said, these are period instruments, so they are not tuned to A4=440Hz.

@nequillim. Dude, are you serious? Look, I really think that you can't say that Gaga is better than Bach. Bach is Bach. Is like saying 'Oh, Madonna is better than Beethoven'. Do you really think Gaga will be remember in a hundred years? why Bach is famous even today? Also, it's not just a song. It doesn't have lyrics, ok, but even without lyrics, it say something. It makes you feel something. I am really sorry for you... You will never know what is FEEL the music.
