a lot of figurations in french music are not played how you write,but as pointed , but true difficult of that prelude is tempo cause is so speed,than there are a lot of things about ornaments, its change in every composer and contest.
Thanks a lot for interested...you can learn more on "the secrets of baroque music" of Jeoffroy-Duchame
lukaspin, yes, I did. Well done! I think that Couperin allows a lot of freedom in interpreting the preludes; I will check the book. Your inegal is very marked, and very elegant. Thank you.
dear greg,I have autocorrections about last prelude's informations for you,it's not a gigue but a "courant" ... and then, in the second bar I've played an Eb but was a natural E wrote...it's not a top! sorry a lot!bye..
No worries, lukaspin. Fine job. I have had a major system crash, so I can't fully enjoy your recordings yet; I have this laptop that I can use until I get back up and running.
Thanks, lukaspin. I have read that material, but it is not something that can be learned from reading. I know what you mean about inegal, but I have not had any harpsichord training, and I don't believe I have ever heard a recording. Perhaps you could play it and upload it?
Thank you, couperinette. Your English is fine! I like your idea about 'notes inegales'. After all, the preludes are opportunities to play more freely. If I record it again, I will move more freely from "Mesure". I'm sorry, I don't know how to get the accent above the second 'e'!
Bravo, excellent choice - a beautiful piece and you play it interessant and fine . hopefully can you play soon on a good harpsichord. (excuse me, my english is not better!)
PS : the "croches" would perhaps be played a bit more inequal in the french baroque spirit?
Thanks! I have been waiting for someone to post a piece from L'art de toucher le clavecin. That was a fine job in deed. I would like to hear you on a real harpsichord when ever you get access to one.
Thanks, mercoid. Most of the highly ornamented pieces by Couperin are way beyond me. My nephew currently has my Zuckerman 1-manual. But frankly, my Technics has a better sound; the harpsichord is 40 years old and home-built. If I ever get access to a good instrument, I will re-record.
Hai tecnica, peccato che non conosci il fraseggio barocco. Misurato non significa solfeggiato.
