Harpsichord piece by Francois Couperin. I recorded a much more relaxed and controlled version after this one; now when I listen to this one I'm a little shocked. This is much, much too fast. It is the first thing I ever uploaded to YouTube. If you enjoy the piece, listen to my slower recording; you will probably find it to be much better than this one.

  • are you kidding me!? this is a good a performance as a synthesized harpsichord is gonna get... you will never acquire the tone you need for this piece on a synthesized keyboard. you need more notes inégales, this is French Baroque, you must lean with a little rubato. A solid, straight forward performance but nothing special.

  • Potugalia, on my Baricades, I agree with you completely. Inegales is not easy, and it really can't be done at the breakneck tempo I used here. I've never had formal harpsichord training, but I would love to at some point. Thanks for your comment.

  • Spectacular! When it's played this accurately and crisply, I prefer the faster speed.

  • I'm so glad you weren't afraid to pause!

    

  • I love this one very much

  • I enjoyed this rendition greatly.

  • may be helpful:

    consider the very elegant and expressive performance of Miguel Yisrael, this could be a measure for the next time (though it was played on a baroque lute - however by one of the most talented specialists in baroque music).

    kindest regards - S.

  • @EmdrGreg - whats the meaning of the tittle? Thanks / Peru.

  • *grin* I will just ignore your interpretation in order to be not embarrassed.

  • aww i wish there was a How to on this Song, I want to learn it so Bad

  • Hey, Malachayas! In fact, I think the mistery is intact, but I have a thought. Couperin is refering to the misteries of sexuality. Another reason not to rush the piece, I guess...

  • @Malachayas y think it's because the mistery is lost lol!
