@Sakurazuka1999 I really like this piece on piano, but I don't have any kind of training and had to look up equal temperament. Is Sweenlick better in a choral arrangement or strings? Suggestions?

Both composer and pianist bring us closer to God.

@brentstull Why not?

@Sakurazuka1999 Yes, that's true. It erases a significant part of the harmonic richness.

The slight hum is a ground loop - put an isolation transformer in the audio line from player to recorder. Radio Shack 270-054 works.

@alipitogen Definitely! It's sad that history made this great mind step back behind the other great composers of Baroque.

Hmmm, I really love Glenn Gould but playing Sweelink on piano in equal temperament is like playing Chopin on a Korg synthesizer...
A classic. Glenn Gould is as good as it gets.

This song is naturally rich in flavor, but Gould accentuates the depth of the colors. Ahhhh.
