  • I do know this master piece of music is for Harpsichord other than piano. Thanks for posting!

  • @pinkbluegreenpurpleL Neither Bach, Mozart, nor Beethoven wrote anything for the modern piano, which didn't appear until about 1875. But Bach did try out the early "Forte et Piano" in the mid 1730s and in 1747 in his famous visit to the court of King Frederick the Great where he astonished the court with his improvisation of a 3-part fugue on a theme supplied by the king. Later Bach wrote out this improvisation. Find it on YouTube:

  • as usual, great Ton Kopman!

  • Like Mastro Koopman's keyboard performance and his Amsterdam Baroque Music Orchestra!

  • @pinkbluegreenpurpleL

    It's really neither. It was probably written with the harpsichord or clavichord (etc.) in mind, but in technicality it's a keyboard piece.

  • @Oywawoylega absolutely...lol

  • Never knew this was a harpsichord song... I am playing this on the piano. 

  • Very lively. I liked his use of ornamentations.

  • Koopman plays it the way it was probably meant to be played. Very, very baroque. Wonderful. I once enjoyed one of his church organ concerts. Awesome. Along with Gustav Leonhardt he excels on the field of Bach, and baroque music in general..
