Sorry, but what do you mean?

It may appear that I have misunderstood you.

But these instruments aren't Baroque. They are quite early Romantic.

[gerardleclerc]

What a wonder-beautiful interpretation of this genius of a composition. I love the sound of the Arpeggione and find that it gives all the romantic 'autumnal' quality to the work without the usual empty virtuosity found in in the cello versions of this work. Like a walk through the leaves in November.........

PLEASE publish more of your wonderful and creative interpretations

@blackfootedcat The arpeggione's lowest note is E, the viol is a whole step below to D. The are both tuned similarly, the difference is where you put the interval of a third, in the arpeggione is from the 3rd to the 2nd strings, in the viol is from the 4th to the 3rd. Thre frets on the arpeggione are made of metal and you play behind the fret, on the viol they are made of gut and you play ON the fret. The bowing is different, and there is about 200 years between the instruments.

@TheSideflip There is no DVD available version but I recorded a CD of this sonata played on arpeggione with Paul Badura-Skoda on fortepiano. It is released by Fuga Libera record Label (FUG529) and distributed in many countries in the music shops and also in download if you prefer (but pictures and text in the CD booklet are worth buying the material version I think). Thanks for the comment and best wishes for your study! Isn't it a great music?

What is the difference between an arpeggione and a bass viola da gamba?

[PlatypusofCalifornia]

You are wonderfully talented and one of a kind! Please keep playing this instrument and showing us all of the expressive sounds it can produce

Gusto makahanap ng Arpeggione na pang kaliwete. Parang mas masaya syang tugtugin kaysa sa karaniwang gitara. sarap pakinggan ang mga string na kumakanta.

So gorgeous! It's awesome to hear the piece as Schubert envisioned it.

[JJRaff1822]

It does have a far more resonant sound than either the viola or cello on which it's usually played. Regardless, Schubert's musics works on any of these instruments.
