Fantasia- S.L Weiss

Here is another try at this piece. Sorry for the slightly out of tune treble strings, too much humidity here today lol.

Weiss was the most important and the most prolific composer of lute music in history and one of the best-known and most technically accomplished lutenists of his day. He wrote around 600 pieces for lute, most of them grouped into 'sonatas' (not to be confused with the later classical sonata, based on sonata form) or suites, which consist mostly of baroque dance pieces. Weiss also wrote chamber pieces and concertos, but only the solo parts have survived.

In later life, Weiss became a friend of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and met J.S. Bach through him. J.S.Bach and Weiss were said to have competed in improvisation, as the following account by Johann Friedrich Reichardt describes:Anyone who knows how difficult it is to play harmonic modulations and good counterpoint on the lute will be surprised and full of disbelief to hear from eyewitnesses that Weiss, the great lutenist, challenged J. S. Bach, the great harpsichordist and organist, at playing fantasies and fugues."

Excellent.

You played a little bit slower than others.

I like that very much.

Your play is a very good lesson to me.

CAN YOU SEND ME THE SCORE?

[papymerlin]

Because Bach has composed more than 300 songs, and some of them have more than 20 voices..! Here, there is "just" maximum 3 voices..Sorry for my English i'm french.

i like that you are taking the time to be expressive with the piece and not just rushing through the notes.
