Yeah, instruments are awesome.

" No inconsistencies! Excellent playing Gerard, would you be interested in playing a harpsichord innovative partita i composed(short movements), it is for the harpsichord but i would be interested of you posting a video of them how it would sound on a real harpsichord. I would appreciated it very much."

[bosseed]

how much cost an harpsichord like dat?

[ChurpMusic]

Brilliantly played! Think I'll learn this for my Higher Music this year! ^^

[OJJVZ]

Could have used a 'little' tuning... But nice!

[Chakiejan]

I want you to play some Rachmaninoff on that thing. I some kindling.

[nosreflow]

but really nice :D

[GerardRatigan]

@nosreflow

Yes, this is my harpsichord, which I uploaded on Wikimedia Commons. Here it is located in another place. Best regards

[mamuchita18]

good, but i think u should play it a little bit faster... and u have to play with the trills... that is what gaves more barroque air... =)

[lightmyfire90]

a la primera persona que me ayude a caminar pienso entregarle mi tiempo pienso entregarle hasta el mal, yo no digo que sea facil pero niña ahora mismo ya no tengo ni siquera donde estar

[chechoguitar112]

is this instument tuned different?? because it sounds like c#m to me, but its called prelude in D minor?? can anyone explain?? thanks:)

[NagualElias]

@chechoguitar112 most harpsichords are tuned half a step lower than concert pitch. This was apparently the norm in the baroque era. You'll find most recordings of harpsichord concertos half a step lower as well.

[xiwi01]

it's good, but i think you missed a lot of mordente..

[lilygolightly]

Why did you eliminate the ornamentation? It sounds so... plain without it...

[pcma1970]

Amazing

[86aqu]

Very good! Observe that in the bars from 1 to 5 and from 21 to 28 you move the stress to the second time, so you play

ta TA ta instead of TA ta ta

For example in the first and second bar you put the stress on F, in the third on G, etc.

Anyway lovely!

[BillyBart96]

sounds better with trills

[lilygolightly]

Very lovely! This piece sounds much better on a harpsichord. I'm working on this piece, but you make it look MUCH easier than it is.

[GerardRatigan]

thank you!

[MrPianosmurf]

@lilygolightly this play isn't that hard. try to lern the right hand first and then it's easy.

[Brandotuomikoski]

Is this a zuckermann harpsichord?

[GerardRatigan]

Yes, purchased as a kit.

[skellez83]

Ottimo video! E stato difficile montarlo? E' molto costoso?

Grazie

[GerardRatigan]

Not very difficult but you need to be patient and follow the instructions with much care and precision. As for the cost, I don't remember exactly, but it was something like 6500/7000 €

[skellez83]

Thanks for the answer!

[aerugo49]

You play beautifully, thank you.

[GerardRatigan]

[NagualElias]
