What a beautiful, this is a Real Art!

[rootingfortaiwan]

It's weird that they played in A major, not Bb major......

[ThePoliticalMusician]

@rootingfortaiwan Back then, an A was tuned to 425, now it's 440.

[Thunderbird1371]

@ThePoliticalMusician You're right, sometimes the A was 425, sometimes 392, or 410. In this particular case it was tuned to around a 415. To @rootingfortaiwan, this was the precise reason it sounds like it's in A, but it really is Bb. :)

@rootingfortaiwan It's weird that people automatically assume everyone, everywhere, since the beginning of time tuned to A440, as though A440 tuning were a law of nature & everyone was born with his ears tuned to A440. A440 didn't become an international "standard" until the 1950s. This is a historically informed performance played in Bb@A415, which is the Late Baroque German chamber pitch. Baroque organs were tuned to A465. The reasons have to do with changes in the tuning of wind instruments.

[seamusnot]

to say baroque organs were tuned to A465 is a little misleading. very few towns. let alone countries tuned to the same pitch. even in the baroque era organs in different towns in the same country were tuned quite differently

[1banders]

@seamusnot Historically, the tuning of winds has dictated pitch. Most German Baroque organs are found tuned a 1/2 step to a m3 above A440. Analysis of organ pipes indicates that Schuetz performed his church music at A462. Around A465 was prevalent. These organ tunings derived from Renaissance wind pitch. The various "chamber" pitches since the late 17th c. were based on the new French winds. A440, an ISO std. adopted in the 1950s, was the result of decades of lobbying by American wind makers.

[zamliyniyesuh]

thank you for this video and others.

[funky639]

The perfect circle

[bersa888]

Thank for uploading all of these! Sort of straightforward-no-much-fussin­g performances, but without being too inflexible... Lovely rhythmic vitality. And the players seem to really savor the music. Ah, Bach, without you (and ice cream) life would certainly be a lesser state of affairs!

[HahnPotterishFowlnut]

I couldn't agree more!

[buxheimerorgelbuch]
