i thought this was variation no. 1

[emptiness0]

@bernardomegle no mistake there, this is variation no1

[sheepouz]

THIS MAN IS UNBELIEVABLY BRILLIANT!! 

[esojbar]

For sure variation no.1. The Aria is the MOTHER!

[Hauptwerkgek]

@virginiaorganbuilder No.. But a week after I finally lost it, somebody called to ask me if I still have it. When I told him that I had given it away for free, he was very disappointed since he needed the instrument for some kind of advanced modern "musical" project (probably for harpsichord, a vacuum cleaner, two refrigerators an a table-lamp...)

[virginiaorganbuilder]

@Hauptwerkgek Yeah, not exactly musical instruments, are they?

[Hauptwerkgek]

Sounds like a Neupert mod. Bach, I had one once.. It makes a terrible noise (as You can hear) When I moved to another house I try to sell the bloody beast but nobody wanted it. Then after several weeks I offer it for free, and even then it took another two weeks before I found somebody who wanted it. Later I heard that they are still being made in Bamberg, Germany and that they are quit expensive too.. Still, I don't miss it..

headhache !!

due to the bad quality of the recording, I presume

[orangekush3]

@emptiness0 then perhaps you ought to change the title which reads var. 2 instead of var. 1 which you have just agreed it to being. this is what bernardomegle wrote about in his comment. brighten up man!

[pachelbel40]

@segedy It's a Neupert "Bach"-harpsichord, the revival harpsichord Richter liked most.

[feetje2008]

@emptiness0 Yes it is. The first part is the Aria, followed by variation I, this particular piece.

[segedy]

Is he playing a Goble harpsirchord? I can't quite make out the nameboard - but given the pedals, and the 3 octaves (16, 8 and 4 foot strings)... maybe?
