Wouw Alexander .. wouw ... thats all what I can say :( ! WOUW .. so amazing .. well played.,.. wonderfull .. sure you are a proud musican if you see this video yourself again ... and your parents .. I am sure they are so proud on you Alexander .. you make them so proud for sure .. great great great
Very nice playing! Just one thing though: maybe you can listen more attentively to the tied notes between different bars: mostly they start consonant en become a dissonant on the next bar. It occurs that you release the key on the moment the note gets interesting...
But this is no criticism, just an afterthought... Good job!
this is already one of the "better" interpretaions. the problem most harpsichordist have with this piece, they play it too fast and all harmonies become an obsure sound broad. this is not the case here. however, almost nobody has the courage to play this piece really slowly. Than, this piece can open out more efficiently its suggestive character as a master work of ostinato music. interesting: Comparone, Piti, Serdoura ; boring: many others ;-))
@DuoContinuo Do you know that this piece is marked "Vivement", being "Lively"?
I therefore would not play it too slowly. The above video is at the limit of being too slow to me (however very nicely played).
This is an excellent example of the new 18th century French sound-style: no clear melody, but a cloud of magnificent harmony. Compare to the famous Bach Prelude in C-major: same writing. Or look at Rameau E-minor suite, Allemande: the two styles combined.
I agree with what you are saying. A lot too has to do with the acoustics and the instrument. I've heard this played so fast that there was no music at all! You found a tempo that has the music moving along as well as singing. Very nice performance. Keep up the good work.
Very Good! What year was this instrument built? Because it really doesn't look all that original, as most of Ruckers were changed in the 18th Century and especially in France. The legs for this instrument alone are not original to the instrument and look quite French. But an EXCELLENT instrument none the less and I'd certainly love to play one someday. Thanks again!

One of my very favourite pieces by Francois Couperin.
You play it beautifuly with those tiny tiny pauses that gives the rythm but also this "mysterious" feel. Bravo !

The Ruckers-Harpsichord was built in the 17th century (probably 1622). It was renovated 1725 by Blanchet in Paris.

Thanks! That's what I thought but just didn't remember the French maker who did this.
