Personally, unlike another work of Bach, (Bach - Violin Concerto in A Minor BWV1041 - Mov. 1/3) this piece of music's color is green, and it could be spring or summer. I could image a picture of the music. I am not sure it is a dream or the reality world. It was a summer, I stayed at my home, which was located in a forest.

im 2 and i dont care if your 14 and that you prefer this to justin beiber..... im 2! so that makes me younger than you... listening to classical music.. which makes me more intelligent and more cooler because i am 2 and i listen to classical music..
I'm 6 and I absolutely adore this music. Each note is like a coffee bean that is percolating over my soul which is the cup from which I will quench my classical thirst. (I'm not really 6, I jus noticed a load of people wrote a loada bollocks about their age). Anyway can't chat (even though I just did... why do cunts say that?!) I'm off to drink my cup of classical coffee. Don't even like coffee, but there's nothing else in the cupboard - can't wait for pay day.
I'm 13 and love classic music so much, I play violin too and that was my choice and now I'm going to conservatory I finished my 4th year !!! But really can't understand people :S
I dunno, people just enjoy very different things about music. Classical is very complex, and for people who either know a lot about it or who have a love for the little that make it come alive, it is amazing. For other people they just like something more primal, or with a different "energy", for lack of a better word. I can understand; I like every kind of music, but sometimes I just like a raw electric guitar or heavy beat more than a violin. Some people *always* do.
2Pac? Since when is THAT music? I just listened again before making judgements to make sure I remembered it correctly. I didn't last longer than 9 seconds. Sorry, that's not music to me. There is no need to be vulgar to say anything meaningful. Can he even sing? Who knows?
@as110 Can the violin soloist sing? Being able to sing doesn't make you a good musician. You're comparing apples and oranges. There are different kinds of music and each should be valued in it's own terms. Yes, 2pac might not be able to play the violin or sing well, but that doesn't mean he has no musical worth. Rap cannot be compared to Bach because they are totally different kinds of music.
Why do people even bother comparing apples with oranges. Whether Bach or Haydn or Brahms can be comparede to any contemporary artist is trivial. It's just shameful that today's youth, for the most part, can't enjoy classical music.
@CanadianBeaverJerky Come'on man, dude, trashing non-classical music lovers ain't gonna make them like classical music more; Share music with them, you have to ease it in man. Start with more entertaining ones like Handel or Mozart. Its like feeding a baby. You start with the easier stuff. Bach's like too intellectual sometimes.
I like how fans of classical music bash on other modern music genres, such as Hip Hop, while Hip Hop fans don't bash on classical. I happen to enjoy both very much, but if you compare Bach to Lil' Wayne, of course Bach is going to win because Lil' Wayne is awful. But if you compare Bach to say, 2Pac, its a different story. I know many of you will rail on this comment because I'm comparing Pac to Bach, but one really should listen to the music before making judgements.
haha im trying to play this right now but it's my first time playing anything with as many sharps as E Major. extremely annoying lol. but i love this song
@patrickyc2009 What Eb major is now was E major in the baroque days. This is because nowadays we tune to A440, but in baroque times they tuned to A415, which is a half step down from modern tuning. Baroque orchestras tune to A415 to stay consistent with baroque times.

Dang, I gotta practice more. When I play this piece, my 36th notes aren't nearly as fast as they are in this recording.
Is it just me, or does this sound like it's in a different key? Maybe it's because notes in Baroque music are tuned differently?
@PaulThePuppetier You're not alone. I'm 15 and I would rather listen to Bach than the trash on the radio these days. But, I'd have to say that I like composers like Vivaldi and Bach better than Beethoven and Mozart.
@foojuice101 I preferred Bach to Beethoven when I was 15, too, it takes time to appreciate Beethoven. Please listen closely to Beethoven's Great Fugue (for example watch?v=n68WBx91nQE)! For me, it's the most exciting composition ever written. Still, Bach rules, of course :-)
I'm working on a poetry analysis paper at 4 in the morning, due in 4 hours and there's nothing that motivates me and gets me through my college courses like wonderfully inspiring music.
@dragonmaster11000, It is. Baroque tuning in those days was a half-step lower, plus it wasn't standardized - there were no metronomes to give an "A 440" or what not. Because of this, I think they might be using baroque instruments.
Well with accordance to the current revision of the social contract a violin is an instrument used in the classical period and therefore any music that involves a violin is classical.
@Nukefuzion who do you think you are? the violin was invented BEFORE the classical period, and used throughout the baroque period. What social contract revision are you talking about?
Well I thumbed this up because I thought this was quite humorous. It was actually my attempt at humor but the literal interpretation is not as quite enjoyable as the sarcastic one.

@PaulThePuppetier I'm 16, I only got interested in classical because I play violin, and my favourite genre is baroque, I just love hearing those epic harpsichords behind the violins and strings :D
@PaulThePuppetier The thing that bugs me is a bunch of people I know think it's wierd to like classical music, and I'm like hey, where do you think half those rubbish artists attempt to base their music tunes etc on? :L
@PaulThePuppetier I'm normal and I don't care for cult (never heard that you would have to be in a cult to enjoy classical) and I like classical music, always did. My 6 year old twin boys also love it. They are learning to play piano and guitar (their choices) and enjoy all kinds of music, but classical is their #1. It depends on what one is introduced to. There are lots of young people who like it. Maybe they just don't advertise it because it isn't 'hip'? Enjoy it no matter what friends say!
@as110 well,I meant cult like having a fine taste for old music and other sorts of arts xD anyway,It is absolutely amazing that your kids are learning to play those instruments! keep it up,and keep showing them good stuff =)
Actually, now that I look more carefully, I believe it is a partridge --which I doubt makes the situation any better for you.
Well, if it is any consolation, many American Indian nations maintained a belief in good medicine associated with the hunt. By consuming the animal, its spirit would remain with the individual(s), and they would give thanks to the animal for allowing them to "borrow" its nutrients, if you will...
But I'm certain the Lenape, for example, would have had similar beliefs.
I can recall hearing about a practice in which they would place cornmeal in the mouth of the game as an offering. Interestingly, there was a similar tradition amongst Celtic and Teutonic tribes, except an evergreen sprig takes the place of corn...
@NeoW63 You probably have modern version of perfect pitch. In baroque tuning, they tune A at 415Hz, which is about half a step lower than modern tuning system. That's why it sounds like E flat major, but they are indeed playing in E major.
@god4938 Wow I never knew that, thanks. And now that I listened to it again, it's like between E and Eb. So does that mean when we play Baroque music we should tune to 415?
Well, I generalized too much by saying 415Hz. Baroque tuning actually ranges. French baroque tuning could go even to 392 Hz, and it sounds like a whole step below.
It's definitely ok if you play A440Hz to play Baroque music if you have non-historical replica of instruments, though.

I am looking for A Bach piece called "Bar Magnifico", I am not entirely sure on the spelling. I thinks it's quite a long piece and it has a choir accompaniment....do you know of the piece to which I a referring?
@sweetappletits I always listen to music when I'm writing and revising, it really helps me focus. What I actually listen to depends on my mood, though. Sometimes I go for ambient with Delerium or Carbon Based Lifeforms, other times classical with Bach or Shostakovich, and still other times I reach for the Buddha Machine instead. It's my first novel so it's not anything good. Not yet at least. Maybe one day it will be ^^
@Drud14 Haha yeah, i was looking at this girl's facebook profile and it said "Music is a big part of my life." I scroll down to see what music she likes, and its like T.I., Usher, etc
@Haaggus She likes sexy black men who sing soulful songs, that sounds more like 'living life' to me than listening to centuries-old music by repressed European homosexuals
@illegalsmirf Lol repressed? Bach had like 20 kids by two wives. Yeah he was really sexually repressed. Dont try to compare modern hip hop to J.S. Bach, you're just going to sound stupid
Oh you should be a preacher, try and sell us something more than 20 people can believe in and not take pride in it if they do, we can play what we want, 11am alright for you? Real Music is Revolution, not cold druid dogma, like your trying to tell us something, shut it in ignorance and dont be so rude. Welcome to Democracy, mate turn it up, and stop wingeing over beggars rights.
@EduardoElSexypants When you wear headphones, a) you do not hear music coming from other, neighbouring properties, and b) your music is not heard by other people in neighbouring properties. Did they invent earphones in America yet?
@illegalsmirf I do not live in America. And they apparently have headphones in America because fucking Ipods come from America. And your headphone answer has nothing to do with the fact that real music is no longer appreciated these days ( which was the point of drud14 ) because it turns out, any kind of music can be listened in headphones.
@EduardoElSexypants Actually, the neurotic and highly-strung person who got his panties in a twist because his neighbours dared to play music from their speakers at the same time as he was playing his Sacred Classical Music could have sat down and appreciated his music with earphones and didn't have to listen to the heathens next-door listening to their Blasphemous Dance Music ... so yes, actually, Mr Smart-Ass-Know-Nothing, earphones ARE the answer.
@illegalsmirf his point was not that HE could not appreciate the music it was that THESE DAYS REAL MUSIC ISNT APPRECIATED BY PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY LISTEN TO SHIT
@Drud14 now if you said rock id blow up...but yeah I hate pop,rap,hiphop and dance..im listening to this music cause people say it helps you memorize things easyr... lol im trying to mem the fretboard now.. will see if it helps
@m4e9 If my memory serves me right, concert pitch has moved higher over the years, so E Major in Bachs day may well be Eb Maj now. If so, they may well be tuned to the original pitch of the day it was written
@m4e9 gut string for period instruments cannot hold the tension for our modern 440Hz E major. I am not exactly sure about harpsichords, but solo harpsichord recordings I heard also tuned a semitone or sometimes a tone lower.
Kindly forgive me for sticking my big nose into the discussion...
I did just want to clear up one thing: Believe it or not, gut strings work just fine at 440. Very many people use them for so-called "modern" performance. Myself (i'm in the USA), cellist Steven Isserlis, and the principal violist of the London Symphony, to name just a few.
And just to add a little "shock" to the charming, if slightly sophomoric discussion on pitch: 18th century Venetian pitch has been tracked at upwards of the 450s and 460s...
...and gut strings worked very well at those tensions, as well!
I did a lot of graduate work with tuning theory and temperament, so, to some extent, my own knowledge on the subject derives from a variety of primary and secondary sources... (Although, for the most part, I was less concerned with issues of pitch, and more concerned with things like the ancient Greek Harmoniai, etc...)
As a matter of general recommendation, over the course of the past decade I have found Mary Cyr's "Performing Baroque Music" to be a very convenient source. It is laid-out in chapters by subject, and each chapter is divided into very concise and digestible sub-sections, such that it functions almost as an encyclopedia of sorts...
...very handy volume, never takes me more than 5 minutes to find what I need.
Now, admittedly, I have not read the entire book myself (only parts of it), but I can tell you it has been showing-up on more and more university bibliographies of late!
@isitvalottioryoung1 thank you very much, i will have to check with my local bookstores whether they can order it from overseas. Books regarding to musicology or theory are difficult to find here and very limited. I also find early music interesting, but again, limited reading materials available here :-)
And about tuning or early music, it would be good to have some first hand experience too, but unfortunately I never seen a gut string nor touch one before.
Not exactly. A440 as the standard tuning has only been around for less than a century. Baroque tuning is generally lower, almost a full semitone lower. That's why you hear it as E-flat.

@PaulThePuppetier I'm normal and I don't care for cult (never heard that you would have to be in a cult to enjoy classical) and I like classical music, always did. My 6 year old twin boys also love it. They are learning to play piano and guitar (their choices) and enjoy all kinds of music, but classical is their #1. It depends on what one is introduced to. There are lots of young people who like it. Maybe they just don't advertise it because it isn't 'hip'? Enjoy it no matter what friends say!

@PaulThePuppetier That's the music, even David Guetta uses songs, but every single song comes from an instrument ! Violin, Piano, etc ... !!
It's good to see that young people do not forget, makes me believe in humanity :)

I love how this is played in true Baroque style. I will tune my violin to A415 instead of A440 when I play this from now on.
The picture makes me cringe a little though. It doesn't suit this happy piece at all.

Actually, now that I look more carefully, I believe it is a partridge --which I doubt makes the situation any better for you.
Well, if it is any consolation, many American Indian nations maintained a belief in good medicine associated with the hunt. By consuming the animal, its spirit would remain with the individual(s), and they would give thanks to the animal for allowing them to "borrow" its nutrients, if you will...
...I'm not helping, am I...

@isitvalottioryoung1 Actually I find that very interesting. Do you know which tribe did this?
hippiechickie18 1 year ago
@hippiechickie18
Oh, I suppose the classic examples would be the Northern Plains Indians:
Lakota, Crow, Hidatsa, Blackfeet, Cheyenne, Pawnee, Cree, Ojibwa, Mandan, etc...
But I'm certain the Lenape, for example, would have had similar beliefs.
I can recall hearing about a practice in which they would place cornmeal in the mouth of the game as an offering. Interestingly, there was a similar tradition amongst Celtic and Teutonic tribes, except an evergreen sprig takes the place of corn...

o.O why is this transposed down half a step? It's supposed to be in E major, not Eb major....
NeoW63 1 year ago
@NeoW63 You probably have modern version of perfect pitch. In baroque tuning, they tune A at 415Hz, which is about half a step lower than modern tuning system. That's why it sounds like E flat major, but they are indeed playing in E major.
god4938 1 year ago
@god4938 Wow I never knew that, thanks. And now that I listened to it again, it's like between E and Eb. So does that mean when we play Baroque music we should tune to 415?
NeoW63 1 year ago
@NeoW63 @NeoW63 @NeoW63 @NeoW63 @NeoW63 @NeoW63
Well, I generalized too much by saying 415Hz. Baroque tuning actually ranges. French baroque tuning could go even to 392 Hz, and it sounds like a whole step below.
It's definitely ok if you play A440Hz to play Baroque music if you have non-historical replica of instruments, though.

@sweetappletits I always listen to music when I'm writing and revising, it really helps me focus. What I actually listen to depends on my mood, though. Sometimes I go for ambient with Delerium or Carbon Based Lifeforms, other times classical with Bach or Shostakovich, and still other times I reach for the Buddha Machine instead. It's my first novel so it's not anything good. Not yet at least. Maybe one day it will be ^^

@EduardoElSexypants When you wear headphones, a) you do not hear music coming from other, neighbouring properties, and b) your music is not heard by other people in neighbouring properties. Did they invent earphones in America yet?
illegalsmirf 1 year ago
@illegalsmirf I do not live in America. And they apparently have headphones in America because fucking Ipods come from America. And your headphone answer has nothing to do with the fact that real music is no longer appreciated these days ( which was the point of drud14 ) because it turns out, any kind of music can be listened in headphones.
EduardoElSexypants 1 year ago
@EduardoElSexypants Actually, the neurotic and highly-strung person who got his panties in a twist because his neighbours dared to play music from their speakers at the same time as he was playing his Sacred Classical Music could have sat down and appreciated his music with earphones and didn't have to listen to the heathens next-door listening to their Blasphemous Dance Music ... so yes, actually, Mr Smart-Ass-Know-Nothing, earphones ARE the answer.

well, its usually played in E major. i was surprised that whoever arranged the piece had it in Eb major. bach certainly didn't write it in Eb major.
m4e9 1 year ago
@m4e9 If my memory serves me right, concert pitch has moved higher over the years, so E Major in Bachs day may well be Eb Maj now. If so, they may well be tuned to the original pitch of the day it was written
Reeltimescot 1 year ago
@m4e9 gut string for period instruments cannot hold the tension for our modern 440Hz E major. I am not exactly sure about harpsichords, but solo harpsichord recordings I heard also tuned a semitone or sometimes a tone lower.
Hasoginy 1 year ago
@Hasoginy
Kindly forgive me for sticking my big nose into the discussion...
I did just want to clear up one thing: Believe it or not, gut strings work just fine at 440. Very many people use them for so-called "modern" performance. Myself (i'm in the USA), cellist Steven Isserlis, and the principal violist of the London Symphony, to name just a few.
isitvalottioryoung1 1 year ago
@Hasoginy
And just to add a little "shock" to the charming, if slightly sophomoric discussion on pitch: 18th century Venetian pitch has been tracked at upwards of the 450s and 460s...
...and gut strings worked very well at those tensions, as well!
Just in case anyone wanted to know.
isitvalottioryoung1 1 year ago
@isitvalottioryoung1 do you have any articles or books to recommend about this subject?
Hasoginy 1 year ago
@Hasoginy
Certainly, my friend!
I did a lot of graduate work with tuning theory and temperament, so, to some extent, my own knowledge on the subject derives from a variety of primary and secondary sources... (Although, for the most part, I was less concerned with issues of pitch, and more concerned with things like the ancient Greek Harmoniai, etc...)
isitvalottioryoung1 1 year ago
@Hasoginy
As a matter of general recommendation, over the course of the past decade I have found Mary Cyr's "Performing Baroque Music" to be a very convenient source. It is laid-out in chapters by subject, and each chapter is divided into very concise and digestible sub-sections, such that it functions almost as an encyclopedia of sorts...
...very handy volume, never takes me more than 5 minutes to find what I need.
isitvalottioryoung1 1 year ago
@Hasoginy
However, you must forgive me that my primary recommendation comes in a more second-hand manner...
In recent years I've been hearing more and more of my colleagues reference a more recent book on the subject of pitch:
History of Performing Pitch: The Story of "A" by Canadian oboist Bruce Haynes. (Who better to write about his favorite pitch, eh?)
isitvalottioryoung1 1 year ago
@Hasoginy
Now, admittedly, I have not read the entire book myself (only parts of it), but I can tell you it has been showing-up on more and more university bibliographies of late!
isitvalottioryoung1 1 year ago
@isitvalottioryoung1 thank you very much, i will have to check with my local bookstores whether they can order it from overseas. Books regarding to musicology or theory are difficult to find here and very limited. I also find early music interesting, but again, limited reading materials available here :-)
And about tuning or early music, it would be good to have some first hand experience too, but unfortunately I never seen a gut string nor touch one before.

Best of luck, my friend!
I hope you get to experience the feeling of gut strings one day! --They are truly a "living" medium, and they really sing in the most satisfying way!
isitvalottioryoung1 1 year ago
@m4e9
Not exactly. A440 as the standard tuning has only been around for less than a century. Baroque tuning is generally lower, almost a full semitone lower. That's why you hear it as E-flat.
