  • @BOUNTY28170 RELAX, PLEASE, DEAR CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK!!!! I UNDERSTOOD YOUR POINT VERY WELL!!!!

  • AN ENERGETIC AND ENJOYABLE PERFORMANCE. WELL DONE. TO THE QUESTION ABOUT KEY SIGNATURE AND TUNING: HARPSICHORDS ARE GENERALLY TUNED SUCH THAT MIDDLE A = 415HZ WHEREAS PIANOS ARE TUNED WITH A= 440 HZ. THIS HALF STEP LOWER PITCH REFLECTS TWO THINGS: THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HARPSICHORD IS ALL WOOD. THE TENSION ON THE STRINGS IS MATERIALLY LOWER THAN THAT APPLIED TO A PIANO WITH ITS STEEL FRAME. SECOND, A LOWER REFERENCE PITCH IS CORRECT FOR ANCIENT INSTRUMENTS FROM THE BAROQUE ERA.

  • @tinofilipino LOL, I can certainly relate!!!

  • How about this one?

    "Scarlatti Sonata K.159 Harpsichord Mario Trilha" look it up on youtube.

  • this is great! I wish i had that technique :)

  • @laiholapso Thanks very much! Yes I enjoy having the talent of absolute pitch, a thing only about 1 out of 10.000 people have. :)

  • @RubenHogh a man i would give my fucking toe to have your hearing, pitty theirs always a cunt around the corner to criticize it.

  • An EXCELLENT selection and one of my favorites. Decidedly well played here and the instrument is superb :-)

  • Bravo, great performance, full of life and happiness!

  • @GyveTurckee You are probably right in all you are saying, and maybe "tuned wrong" weren't the best words, all I wanted to say was that I could hear that in wasn't preciously C major - if you compare it to my video with me playing
