Miss Alexandra Hjortswang, you create the most full and beautiful sound, regardless of the tapping in the background. And your Adagio from the same sonata is also most beautifully rendered. It shows a great ability to explore the possibilities to obtein the best performance of your instrument.
She plays beautifully but the room acoustics are bad. If she ever performs again, it would sound much better in a place where the echos aren't so noticeable. The echo ruins the pure sounds Bach intended :)
agreed. echo is not a problem, but the recording is lacking in high frequency content. the "tapping" sound is jitter, literally gaps in the audio stream that span the entire frequency range.
Good job! I just played this sonata and it is really amazing, and you played well. The only thing I would say about it is this, you should try to lift the violin up a little bit. Doing this, when you play the chords, the gravity will help the sound and in fact you have the feeling that ou can play it in a much easier way! Other than that, brava!!! it is a hard piece! congrets

For some reason this tapping sound appears when I transfer the videos from the camera to the computer. Don't know why or how to get rid of it, sorry.

I'm sorry but the tapping noise is so irritating.

Is there someone tapping their foot in beat to the music?

Nonsense. This is music for resonant princely chambers, not for anechoic recording studios or dead concert halls.

it makes you in a "sad " mood kinda, because it is in the key of G minor, minor keys are more "sad" and major are not.
