Very beautiful, but what book/version did you use to learn the song? Because the one I learned had all the original dynamics/ornamentation Bach wrote, and many of the dynamics in this one are different. Very beautifully done though!
i dont get it. people have quite the nerve to point and nitpick flaws; are you really that insulted by it? how about just enjoying it? i mean i hear the mistakes but i'm not going to be stingy about it.
Too many mistakes and very uneven playing. Would not play this in public as it is. Still, there is some musicianship in it so it's better than a "perfect" midi file.
BRAVO! Wonderfully clear execution. Sounds as though more than one instrument is being played. Your ornamentation is sensitive. Thank you for sharing.
i played this for my grade 8 and i can honestly say i did a better job than this guy. there was no definition between the tutti sections and concertino. Thats what i think at least
Bach is mimicking the "Concerto Grosso" form with the keyboard alone. The first section, until the perfect cadence is the entire orchestra, and then turns into accompaniment with soloist. In the case of the Italian Concerto, the keyboardist is the tutti orchestra, the orchestral accompaniment and the soloist!
This piece was written for the harpsichord, on which mistakes are more noticeable. On the piano, slight sloppiness would usually go unnoticed. The piano's main advantage is expression, which the harpsichord lacks, but could be somewhat faked. The clavichord shares the piano's touch sensitivity, but is too quiet for anything larger than a modest living room. In Bach's day, if the instrument is not specified, it could be played on any keyboard instrument available.
i know it can be pretty exhilarating after successfully performing 2:09-2:17, but after it happens, keep those eights short, and keep the dynamics low. was that sustain I heard at 2:47? Damn Bach would hate you for that... if he knew sustain had been invented he'd turn in his grave. this is structural baroque, not romanticism. again, overall, not bad. tough piece.
By the way Mr. perfect. First of all Bach would not have turned in his grave because he was very open-minded to all new inventions of the piano and the performance is very clear, so there is no need to critizise. Second you may be wrong about what you have said with the "structural baroque". I think you have never heard Bach played by Jazzmusicians so please do not write things in the comment, which may be wrong.
You can tell his nervous. I would be nervous too if I'm playing for my graduation recital. The left hand sounds stiff and looses the rhythm sometimes. The backbone of the piece is the left hand, so it looses some structure when mistakes happens.
the music is hardly "like in our CDs" and it doesnt have either. u can hear 10.000 versions of the same piece. On top of that this interpretation is pretty ordinary and has noth below or above average. So i dont understand what ur surprise is based on
Wooow...thats really not good performance :( I mean, I´ve heard worse, but the people I know who played it badly didn´t publish it proudly on the internet ;)
very good i always loved this piece by Bach. the people who comment about the "interpretation" are idoits because all "baroque" music not classical. Is completely open to whatever interpretation the player decides to play as long as he plays the notes that are written. if anyone does like it then you play it the way you want to. end of story
bach is incredibly difficult to perform.... any slight rhythmical mistake on any note can throw off the whole piece!! well done on a fantastic performance (great job covering up any slight mistakes) and you had great musical interpretation, which is often difficult in Bach to read thru the thick lines!!
but i cant show you any of mine, cause, i can barely play, although i strive to.
can you play the ave maria of bach?the piano solo version? the ones i see on youtube are idfferent then the ones in my 'bach complete piano solos" book and i dont understand why.
I liked this! You play it with much dynamic and some rubato very nice, but mabye a little to much! What you do great is covering your mistakes and that is professional :) on a piece like this the mistakes is very easly heard, but to someone who dont know this piece this sounds great! Well done. Mabye it would be nice a bit slower? and one more thing the part at 2:10 was very nice, that is hard to play, but at 2:15 is the place for rubato and piano and cres :)
bravo! extraordinaire interprétation! etes vous concertiste? jaimerais avoir des conseils sur mes enregistrements bien quils ne soient pas tres aboutis encore. Merci

Good, it could have more passion it is a concerto grosso after all. Make sure you define the tutti sections more! It still doesn't make the piece any easier, you have not idea how many times i've screwed it up in performance.
Gee, uh, "nervous"? Why would anyone be nervous when their college degree is on the line? ... Seriously, this is a commendable performance when you realize the pressure that is on this performer.
dude, no you don't, I understand maybe your parents and family say you do, they're not going to give you an objective opinion of your playing. Post a video of you playing, and we'll put it to rest.
being "nervous" is not a critical comment. im afraid u need to be more clear about what u dont like. Italian players were "nervous" when they won the soccer world cup, but they did it, and were -obviously-technically good
very nice :}

when the melody is in the left hand, make sure bring the right hand's volume down so the melody isn't drowned out.
