Telemann Largo for Baroque Violin: Carla Moore

[Walvis2007]

@DComleyW If you have an early 18th century source for that, we would love to read it!

[Walvis2007]

@DComleyW Because most baroque treatises on performance refer to the different types of vibrato.

Is good to see that is bow hold is more upwards, and then his square in elbow is now to the point, she don´t need to open the arm in almost any moment, all is a work o forearm, very interesting, without chin and shoulderest, and more to the right to the tailpiece. Beatiful.

[JaredChacon]

How difficult is vibrato on the Baroque violin compared to a violin with a chin and shoulder rest? Does the support make a difference?

My teacher gave me this and the Presto in E flat major to perform in he recital. She wanted me to play in full, authentic baroque with as little vibrato, while still sounding graceful and expressive. This video helped me understand what my teacher wanted, because after a while of learning modern or 19th century works, it's hard to adapt and sound good. Thanks so much!

i'm confused

her violin is tuned..

but not in the standard way..

why?

[Walvis2007]

It is tuned like a modern violin but the overall pitch is one half step lower.

[mojjao2]

yeah..i know..

but

why? xD

[Walvis2007]

Mainly because of the string material, but also because people who play Early Music usually play at this pitch. Pitch in general drifted up in order to make the instruments sound louder over a period of many years.

Hey Broccoli, Telemann lived in the Baroque period and all violins were baroque violins... What the hell is your comment supposed to mean?

[Walvis2007]

Well, I don't want to speak for Broccoli, but I assume he is referring to the fact that few baroque composers wrote full suites for solo, unaccompanied violin.

[wcbroccoli]

How nice of Telemann to write music for the Baroque violin.

[Walvis2007]

Yes, it is sort of like finding an unopened bag of potato chips behind the beer.

[thelightisahead]

Haha, that's such a good analogy! I remember I chanced upon the very existence of these fantasias on sheetmusicplus, and previewed the first page of the music, with my violin at the ready - it was that first B flat Largo that got me hooked,and I immediately ordered both the sheet music and a CD of them! I hadn't heard much Telemann but had heard of his rising renown after a long absence, and these fantasias are a good example of the great importance, relevance and beauty of his output!

[rugierovitalis]

Thank you for this beautiful way of playing 'authentic'. very good sound!

5stars!

[bubblykings]

very well played! Congrats

[isabellanakahara]

Wow! The beauty of your playing is stunning, and nearly brings tears to my eyes. How very lovely and inspiring.

[NateRushing]

Lovely. A great telent.

[kels327]

I want to know how she can pull such a beautiful noise out of that instrument! It is so punctual- yet still so graceful. I have never heard more beautiful telemann. <3

[irenavle]

do you know the effects of largo baroque style on your memory? it's amazing!!!

[jerald1610]

Surperb! --I (and hopefully others) can learn much from your excellent technique, particularly your bowing, and how it differs from the modern violin.

[Linuxica]

Beautiful melody, thanks for sharing.
