I've often heard that 18th century musicians used an A 435 or some such number. But I'm wondering how we know that. First of all, at that time, they didn't have the technological means to measure a sound vibration to that accuracy. Second, how do we know that musicians in different countries used the same A?

If anybody can direct me to a source for finding out more about this I'd like to know. Thanks... Antonio

@EditionsRameau The Grove dictionary of music has a nice article about it. I think it has something to do with the original wind instruments that survived until our times. Like, oboes found (and made) in France at the time were tuned at 392hz and oboes found in Italy were at 440hz. And organs tuning too.

[Denyernator]

@EditionsRameau I'm not sure when tuning forks were invented, but that could be one way of telling.

[INSTAGIBmaniac]

Can you post links for all the movements? IV starts at 5:15 for example

[grandadpoppyable]

Playing around with the pitch produces a quite unique sort of "Bent" sound and its rather nice. My expert ear can pick this up easily but one has to keep a lazy ear on the continuo line as the Basso brings one back to reality.

[cdjk123]

Pitch has been steadily rising since this period.

This is probably tuned to around A 400.

Modern day is A 440

And recently I read that the NY Phil. is tuning to A 442 for a brighter sound. Boston Phil. tunes to A 441.5, etc.

Love it.

[MoriMaris]

@cdjk123 wow i didn't know that! Fascinating!!

[SweetwaterStrings]

I am playing this piece for a wedding and tried playing along- it seems they tuned their instruments down about a step and half, so in case it doesn't sound quite like D major, that's why! Beautiful piece :)

[mathiascg]

@SweetwaterStrings The instruments are tuned in baroque pitch, which is almost a half step down. You will find that many recordings of baroque pieces are tuned like this.

[magicbanana]

Many many thanks for posting this. I heard this piece in a class on Renaissance and Baroque Music last Spring and was absolutely enchanted by its lightness and grace. It's a lot harder to track down a good recording of it than I would have thought, so again, thank you much for putting up here.

[pudercukurs]

thank you for sharing!

[homousios]

very stately

[paynemi]

5:14 is the start of movement iv for anyone studying it as an A2 music set work

[McSplat]

@paynemi shut the fuck up

[tazzzara]

@paynemi thank you haha!

[frankfrankerson89]

@paynemi hey thanks for the info. i was using this vid for studying for my music final! thanks a lot!.

[123coolpig]

This is Sonata II op. 3 Nr. 2 by Corelli...and it is indeed in D Major

[missanonymousgrl]

is this in D Major? i'm looking for Arcangelo Corelli's Trio Sonata in D Major, Op.3, No. 2

[agir3]

Yes, in D Major.

[iLikeBaroqueMusic]

Definitely D major. Can't you see the key signature?

By the way is this the original manuscript? If so, can you try putting the rest of it?

[potterg10]

@missanonymousgrl *checks key signature* yep, that's the one, haha :D

[Charlote61]

Gorgeous piece. Thanks for posting. Needed to listen to it for a style and criticism final.
