  • Amazingly beautiful. If you don't mind would you please tell me how to tune the lute for this piece?

  • @muzikc1 Standard d minor tuning. From top to bottom: F D A F D A G F E D C Bb A

  • Pieces in d minor sound sonorous on a baroque lute... But isn't that very impractical when you're playing in other keys? You'll have to go at greater lengths to get arpeggiated chords than on a renaissance lute, or am I wrong?

  • @Steinbach1984 Just like with a Renaissance lute, some keys are easier than others. The Ren tuning likes the flat keys, A tuning (theorbo) likes sharp keys and d minor (baroque lute tuning) likes some of both. Quite comfortable in F, C, G, D, A, Bb, and Eb major and all their relative minors (except E minor).

  • I don't know anything about music (stumbled onto this vid by mistake), but out of curiousity I was wondering why the lute has so many strings. I've never seen a stringed instrment with so many strings (except a harp perhaps)

  • @Eye0fTheStorm The top 6 sets of strings are played like a guitar by shortening their length on the fingerboard with the left hand to get other notes. The bottom 7 courses are, like a harp, played open.

  • Auf der Suche nach einigen Stücken von Brahms bin ich gerade hier her gelangt und verweilte einige andächtige Minuten. Danke für diese Oase der Beschaulichkeit.

  • @PedroMano790217 Yes I noticed that also. I believe the pitch on this video is A=392 but on the CD he plays it at A=415 (this is just my guess).

  • ave maestro

  • I love this instrument. I am a clasically trained guitarist but really want to learn to play this. Can you please let me know where I can get one and a book / tuition on how to play it. Thank you!!!

  • stunning

  • So soulful.

    Thank you very much for this.

  • Robert Barto's recording of Joachim Bernhard Hagen's 'Solo Works for Lute' on Naxos is one of my favourite classical music CDs.
