I'd love to hear Chiara Massini have a crack at this in this setting.

i think the 1 person just disliked it cuz the dislike section was empty and lonely

@wcbroccoli I was unable to find Trevor Pinnock doing this piece, but I hoped you could here the difference in the lyricism in his playing. As far as the logical phrasing of this piece in particular there are other examples, most notable is Glenn Gould, even if this is played on the piano. And...yes pianissimo means "very soft"... writing to fast... .

[jisiri]

@wcbroccoli (love the name) I say "pardon me" i. e. ,my humble opinion. It's called Music Theory, not a science. Yes anyone can play or sing notes, it's how you play or sing the notes that counts. For instance, pianissimo is not always the same volume, it simply means soft. I think, and it is no reflection on the ability of harpsichordist, that his logic in the phrases was lacking. All of his playing seems to be at the same volume for instance, also the attacks. Listen to Trevor Pinnock.

@jisiri This is a joke right? You are trying to troll us? A harpsichord has only one volume

[flutemusing]

@onemiketwelve Hi - It has more than one volume, for one keyboard plays just one set of strings, and the other one, two. .

[alice1485]

cant imagine ever playing like that, even 4 a viola-ist :P and im only grade 2 :P this is awzum yet classical and bouncy music

[jisiri]

Pardon me, but what was the harpsichordist  doing? The phrasing was...I don't know, incoherent doing his solo. It didn't seem to tie together, it's like he was just playing the notes.

[wcbroccoli]

@jisiri Why do you preface your comments with "pardon me"?

If "he was just playing the notes", then how could his phrasing be "incoherent"?

You can't have it both ways.
