    Here they seem to be using A=470Hz, around one semitone above modern standard (440) pitch. Many baroque ensembles use A=415Hz, ones semitone below standard pitch. For those used to 415, this key sounds like D minor instead of C minor which is the original written key ... one whole tone above the original key. But it's only a question of tuning.

  • @Orlymusicboy

    this is the modern instrumentation A 440Hz, originally (baroque instruments) is A 415Hz

    that's the semitone difference

    I don't know if I make myself understand :S

  • @LadyofMetal16

    yes, the original score is down of a semitone....

  • @ladyfuchsia : yes it's up a semitone

  • Only key I've heard it in

  • I think it's up a semitone - goodness knows why!

  • is this really the original key?
