Do you have an email I can send it to in pdf format? Also the Almand is part of a complete suite which is available in a full book I published about a year back...
Extremely nice to hear and see a great composer and performer in the traditional style. I hope some day there will be a recording of the sheet music. (btw Ernst why don't you use the tag 'clavecin' because you use the new spelling of the Dutch word 'klavecimbel', the English hpschd, the Italian 'cembalo' but with this piece I instantly think in the French 'pièce de clavecin' which is absolutely wrong of course but it sounds very controlled and noble somehow). Thank you so much again.
If your hope was actually for there to be "sheet music of the recording" rather than the other way around, there is a score which I could send you in pdf. Just let me know,
Grant Colburn is an unsung genius who is finally getting his due thanks to such fine performances. He has proved that the baroque style is a living tradition that remains relevant to modern ears, and that modernity itself can only be understood by graciously acknowledging the enduring presence of the past.
Thank you, Ernst, for the musical intelligence and artistry that it takes to make this so abundantly evident. I hope to hear much more new baroque music!
What kind of harpsichord is that? It looks Flemish because of the range and single manual, but it has a reverse keyboard and no papers, and that is French.
i love how well you play in Baroque style.i like baroke style and i got aquestion for you: how or what are the keys to make any piece sound in baroquean style
I guess to answer your question, I'd have to say its the wrong question ;-) "Any" piece CAN'T sound like a baroque piece, any more than one could change a polka to sound like an Indian raga. Its a different style and would need to be approached as one. The only way to write accurate baroque is to play and listen to a lot of baroque and also learn the music theory behind it. And even THEN probably not everyone could do it. But its always worth a try!
I'm VERY glad to see AND hear that I'm not the only one who composes and plays in the Baroque style. I just have trouble writing it all down but I improvise at the drop of a hat. Your music is masterful and the playing by Mr. Stoltz as well. It proves that the style is hardly what anyone would call "dead". Thanks much for the beautiful Allemande.!!!
very interesting - both the music explanations. one comment tough - we must remember that since the composers of the old time didnt put into script what was obvious then (its an asumption - of course) - when we write in the old style we reflect our perception of the old music. in this sence I think we sould consider our efforts as ultra modern attempts to reconstruct old music.
and again thank alot for introducing so many interesting people and music to me.
Marvellous sound

I don't think you'll find the sheet music for it unless you ask me for it :-)

Do you make these in your apartment? I wish I were your neighbour. Fabulous music. Could this be transcribed for gamba?
