I'm using this for my AS recital in about a week. I'm playing the left hand part on guitar. I need one of my four pieces to reflect Baroque so this is the one.
I've been using this to practice with because I can't find another copy of it anywhere, so thanks :)
Of the Two-Part Inventions, this one in A major is my favorite, your tempo is absolutely perfect!! To many times I hear performers use a rather fast tempo, that ruins the whole piece. Thank you so much!!
Yes and No. The coupling system, in a mechanic organ, is made ... mechanically so that pressing a key make the relative one pressed too. But the way this is accomplished is different.
A fine interpretation! Folks, you should also check out his performance of the WTC Bk 1 D major prelude and fugue: like this it's very well thought out and quite individual. Musiclover63, who built your instrument?
Yes, the keyboards are coupled. It is a mechanical coupling system, it is the same on all harpsichord. To couple/decouple the keyboards you have to push/pull the lower keyboard back and forth
its a faithful copy of the 18th century original, all electronic/electromagnetic coupling ;-)
More seriously there are coupler dogs on the hidden part f the lower keyboard, when pushing the upper it engages on the dogs and gets coupled; when pulled it is independent. This is but one of the three common coupling systems (aka French coupler), usually the German used a dogleg system on the jacks and the English a balance coupler (pedal-controlled) + dogleg combination.
Amazing performance.

Is this a Coupled Harsichord?
How does the upper manual sync with the one he's playing?

Unfortunately the harpsichord does not make loud or soft. There's no DYNAMICS
