Such beautiful playing - I listen to this piece often. One simple question - what pitch is your spinet tuned to?

Thanks, Dave

[stsulpice]

Thanks for your comment. My spinet's tuning is based on werckmeisterIII temperament with A at 415Hz. I have to improve french tuning, that is very similar to meantone.

I like the way how you play this lovely piece, thank you. I hope it sonnds much better if you could re-tune your nice harpsycord.

[stsulpice]

I usually tune my spinet with Werckmeister III temperament, not with equal. thank you for your comment

Superbe exécution... Les barricades comme je me les figure en imagination.

Cette musique est très jolie mais c'est encore mieux avec le beau décor dans lequel vous jouez. un petit paradis.

Vous avez beaucoup de goût.

caro Simone in te sento sia l'anima del buon Ferrarese che quella di Ray Charles ....guarda che questo è un complimento, al diavolo tutta la Filologia e l'Istrionismo.......risucire a suonare così su una spinetta solo un vero musicista lo può fare......ciao Fernando

:') bravo Simone

Very nice, I loved it. I am a harpsichordist...and I have never played a Spinet....is the touch different? Is the mechanics of the instrument different, or the same? I don't know much about spinets, although I know they are related to the harpsichord and sound similar. Okay thanks!!! Keep up the great playing :)

Thanks, Simone. I enjoyed your playing very much. You have a lovely instrument; it must be your greatest treasure. All the best. Laraine

First heard this piece when it was included in Electronic Arts's Deluxe Music Construction Set for the Amiga personal computer.

Excellent interpretation, I really enjoy the tempo, very honest interpretation with no other motives than enjoy every note. I certainly Couperin would liked it. Thanks for posting, by the way... I wish to have a harpsichord like you Is it a new Spinet or a restored instrument?

beautiful--i love the tempo. i always think of this piece as a melancholy journey, returning to a happy home. comfort music.

In assoluto la migliore interpretazione di questo pezzo che abbia mai sentito, da un punto di vista di velocità (quela giusta) e musicalità. Faccio sempre fatica a trovare interpretazioni di questo pezzo che mi piacciano ma una finalmente l'ho trovata! A presto la mia esecuzione. Ciao

[FerencLiszt]

BRAVO!! fantastico! Adoro la tua interpretazione (forse perchè anche io lo interpreto così).
