J. S. Bach Minuet in G minor BWV Ahn. 115 (Harpsichord)

J. S. Bach Minuet in G minor, BWV Ahn. 115 from the Anna Magdalena notebook II. Full version. Performed on a Kawai CA-51 digital piano with the "Harpsichord 2" timbre at Baroque Pitch (A415).

More errors than what I find acceptable, but I'm uploading it anyway.

Did you add a few flourishes that weren't written?

Or perhaps we have different versions of the music.

[shirakawa2]

I didn't personally add anything, but it's possible that we have different versions of the same piece.

hi , do you like the key action of your Kawai? Is the action close too an acoustic piano?

[shirakawa2]

Yes, to me it's very realistic. It's got wooden keys and a real hammer action, unlike most other digital pianos. It doesn't have escapement mechanisms, though.

The only problem with these Kawais is that they're ridden with defects that will need you to return them to the dealer for warranty repairs at least once. I don't know if current Kawai digital pianos have better build quality, but on my experience I wouldn't get one again. I'm sorry for this, because their key action is the best.

is this concert pitch? i thing this one semitone lower than has to be

[shirakawa2]

You're right, it's not concert pitch, it's Baroque pitch. In baroque times keyboard instruments were usually tuned about one semitone lower than today's standards. In this video I wanted to do the same.
