This is magnificent, half tone flat or not! You are a gifted musician and it is apparent that you have worked very hard to get here. Cotrary to popular opinion art great art is as much a result of hard work as it is innate ability; I don't like the word talent.

Not having played this in about two years, I plan to record a new version of this *relatively* soon, hopefully within the next few weeks! Stay tuned! =)

its g-flat minor
Riedel777 2 years ago
Actually, it is in G minor, but the harpsichord was tuned to A=415 Hz (commonly called 'baroque pitch'), which makes th notes sound a semitone flat by modern standards.

Nice playing!
Anyway, maby you should mention the fact that this is a combination of several takes. Otherwise, people who realize that could think you wanted to hide it ;-) ! No offence,

The reason for having several takes is that firstly, the camera gave out halfway through the overture, and secondly, I was interrupted just before playing the Passacaille. I also cut excessive pauses between the movements, to provide a smoother performance.
