Ryan Layne Whitney (C.P.E. Bach: Fantasia in C, clavichord)

C.P.E. Bach: Fantasia in C major, W. 61/6 from "Kenner und Liebhaber" (played on Sperrhake model Hubert clavichord). This is an experiment to see how well the clavichord sound comes through. A better performance in future....

on clavichord sheetmusic does it have something that tells you to make that wobbly sound

[teafruitbat]

Very rarely: one uses one's judgment, mostly, as to when to apply "bebung" (the German term for the "wobbly sound" you described). In a few cases, though---as in the piece "Farewell to My Silbermann Clavichord"---C.P.E. Bach does notate bebung by placing a row of three or four horizontal dots under a note and marking a slur under (or over) them.

it's not easy to record a clavichord, because of its very very soft sound, but this comes through perfectly

[teafruitbat]

I had to turn the recording volume up considerably higher than I use for my piano videos, but the trick is not to make it so loud that the clavichord sounds too percussive. I continue to experiment with recording levels.

Wow, haha! This piece knows it humor! Nicely played, and i sense CPE Bach had a heart of humor right there.

[HerrWarja]

Very nice piece! I subbed to your great channel! Thank you!

[tommyIglesias]

The sound comes through nicely, I turned the volume way down.

(Such a crazy piece!) Although I have performed it on the fortepiano (built by Clementi), I like it best on the clavichord.

[AndyWarhol]

Very clean and precise performance. Well done!

[mattmarcucci1]
