By an international treaty signed in 1939, modern pitch is standardized at A-440. However, tuning has varied over time. In 17th-century Europe, tunings ranged from about A-374 to A-403, two to three semitones below A-440. Historical examples exist of instruments ranging from A-309 to A-455.3, a difference of almost six semitones. Some orchestral and chamber groups prefer to tune higher, at A-442 or even A-444. Baroque pitch is usually cited as A-415, which is a semitone lower than modern pitch.

Why does your harpsichord sound like a dulcimer?

I find it interesting that he takes the prelude slow and the fugue fast. I do the opposite!

Why is everything a half step lower?

A=415 instead of the "normal" A=440-443 is the standard pitch in the early music scene since about 1960.

Wow, thank you for the score! That's great, and a REALLY good idea, I wish everyone else would do that too.

Thanks! I agree that making score-movies (I use Windows Movier-Maker) adds to the educational value of the videos, but it does take a bit of time, especially scrolling line by line.
