C.P.E. Bach Sonata in E Major
A nice Sonata by C.P.E. Bach (J.S.B.'s second musical son), the Prussian Sonata Number 3. This is a fairly early work, but one that announces his Galant/Classical style.

Handel Suite in d-minor HWV 437
Переглядів 1,9 тис.5 місяців тому
This "little" Handel Suite was no doubt composed when he was in Italy, before going to England where he composed the 8 "big" suites. I first recorded the Saraband 6 years ago; I tried it this time a bit faster. The three dances go well together in any case.
William Byrd Second Pavane and Galliard
Переглядів 3075 місяців тому
The second of Byrd's Pavane and Galliards, from My Lady Nevell's Book ; the usual pairing of dances. The ornaments are complicated as usual; it's a shame we have no real way of knowing how they were played.
François Couperin 3 pièces du Douzième Ordre
Переглядів 2325 місяців тому
François Couperin, three pieces from his Douzième Ordre, the last ordre in Book Two of his harpsichord pieces (1716-1717). The three are : La Galante, La Boulonoise, and L'Atalante. Each is characteristic of Couperin's different compositional styles, and the three make a good (short) series for concerts.

I like this channel
Thanks. I (generally) enjoy recording and editing the pieces ...
nice!
Oh hi Gabe! Didn't expect you to be here
@@gabe_the_musician thanks!
Beautiful performance! Thank you Richard
@@danbluedeer my pleasure
opening reminds of Albinoni-Giazotto's Adagio...
Interesting sonata, I had no idea, somehow different from CPE and JC's own endeavours. More akin to Haydn already I think, with the harmonic sequences incorporated in a well- balanced construction so to speak. Thank you for sharing.
You're right ...but I deliberately chose one of WFB's less complicated pieces.
@richardsiegelclavecin I see.😊 I need urgently to listen to his other works then.
👏👏👏
Merci! envoie-moi un mot!
Thanks for posting this wonderful sonata played so beautifully
Oh la la, que j'aime Rameau... Merci beaucoup pour ce partage ! 🥰 Je suis organiste, mais entendre cette pièce me donne très envie d'avoir un clavecin sous la main !
Et je suis toujours ravi de recevoir des mots comme celui-ci ... Merci. RS
Delightful to hear this sonata by W.F., in a style lighter to a good number of his other works (which I naturally also enjoy). Friedemann's music generally doesn't get the attention it deserves.
finally, a Bach-like piece of French harpsichord music. Never thought that Couperin was good at counterpoint
Well ... the French never were much interested in Bach-like counterpoint ...
@richardsiegelclavecin true, they are keen on ornaments and trills instead
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
bach is defintely on an epic level of composition.
Absolutely; and this piece is one of my favorites
excellent playing - a lot of excitement generated
question, on bar 5, between E and A, and D and G, dont they count like parallel fifths? or is the bariolage sufficent to cover them?
I thought the same thing, but I guess Handel didn't mind, and he must have thought that the movement was enough. We'll never really know ... I
I'd say not if you consider that g to be a resolution of 7-6. Basically if you imagine the D to have A suspended under it. 7-6 on grade 6 is extremely common in baroque music as well. And that's how my mind hears in this case.
@@SimoneBattaglia94 You could be right ... the most important is how you hear it. And I still would wonder what Handel thought of it, if he did at all ...
Great performance!❤
Marvelous performance-thanks for posting!
Would it be possible for Bach to have taken the anacrusis and the first beat and fit it into his own Courante in Partita 2?
That sort of upbeat (or anacrusis) was pretty common at the time; I doubt that Bach would have needed the idea. We also can't really know if Bach knew about Handel's suites at the time ... Then again, he did look at a lot of music. Who knows?
@@richardsiegelclavecin That's cool! I didn't know that. I'm not familiar with much music from that period but it's still very neat!
I'm always happy to reply. Write whenever you feel like it. RS
amazing and stylistic
Thanks for you comment. RS
What is charming happy piece. Well done keeps moving forward right to a happy end
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent playing! I love how crystal clear it sounds.
Thank you; I try to do my best ...
great! but a bit too fast...
Thanks for the comment; I guess I liked it at that speed ...
Beautiful playing, Richard - keep them coming!
Glad you liked it.
I have the impression keyboard music was not Telemanns' priority.
Indeed! Unlike the Bach family, father & sons, Telemann wrote almost nothing for keyboard. Oh well ...
❤
Thank you!
Telemann certainly deserves more attention than he generally receives - thanks for this one, Richard!
Thank you!
But bach... so this looks pretty average
Тот самый случай когда трели действительно нужны в музыке.
Trills are indeed necessary here! And (almost) fun to do ...
Beautiful! you really nailed those trills
Thanks Dan ...
Hi! This is lovely. Did I miss the Courante? Or did you choose not to include it?
Glad you enjoyed the suite. I didn't record the Courante this time; I looked at it this morning & will try to do it soon.
This tune has been going through my head for a week, I loved this piece back in the LP days, but couldn't recall the title. What a happy reunion to find the mysterious passacaille once again, and in your wonderful performance. Many thanks!
I'm glad to have helped out. Thank you, too ...
Sensitive playing, subtle rhythms...lovely!
Thanks, D.B.
C'est magnifique ❤
Merci ...
many years ago I transcribed and performed this piece for 2 guitars....your interpretation is flawless and very touching.
Aren't you nice!
Comme quoi tout le monde n'est pas en vacances... ❤
❤❤
I love finding channels like this! Instant subscription! Your playing is so even and crisp and beautiful! 😍 I will continue to explore your videos 😊
Thank you for the message ; it's always rewarding to find someone who enjoys my recordings...
why does Bach sound better on a piano? It's hard to fathom. But he does.
Sorry to disagree ... Bach never wrote for piano, and his compositions are definitely for baroque instruments. Yes, there are a few pianists who play Bach well, but I prefer a good harpsichordist.
❤❤
Thank you ....
Nothing like a little Byrd to start the day... thanks, Richard!
Glad you enjoyed it. Keep in touch ...
…love L’Atalante. A great start to the day. It makes my head spin! Thanks Richard
Thanks to you, too ...
Very nice! More Scarlatti, please
Very nice! more Scarlatti please
Bien, mais un peu "mécanique"; les ornements sont exécutés trop lentement, ce qui les alourdit ; il y a parfois un manque de legato; les enchaînements entre les parties sont trop abrupts. On s'ennuie un peu ...Dommage.
Il y a beaucoup de façons de jouer ce morceau ; fecit quod potui
@@richardsiegelclavecin En relisant mon message, je m'aperçoit qu'il est un peu trop "raide" vis-à-vis de celui qui a pris l'initiative de d'offrir quelque moment de bonheur à qui voudra l'écouter. Acceptez mes excuses ... Est initio comitum ...
Il n'y a pas de mal .. et je comprends tout à fait que mon interpretation ne peux pas être la seule ou plaire à tous ... (J'avoue que je ne suis pas toujours convaincu par ce que j'ai fait il y a plusieurs années ...)
Magnifique!
Thank you ...
Beautiful recording, and well thought out as far as the sound balance between the instruments is concerned.
Glad you enjoyed it. I'll be in touch soon ...
Lovely, a very pure sound
Thanks; I'm glad you enjoyed it
very enjoyable! thank you for keeping this wonderful music alive!
Masterful... and beautiful!
glad you liked it. Mata aimasho
Quelle inspiration ! C'est superbe.
I think this piece would benefit with a lot more rubato, especially on the first beat
An open question. Rubato in Bach? or in most baroque music? Emphasizing a first beat now and then, why not? but not too much, as you can hear in my versions...
I always got lost in all the notes in this prelude and prelude 5. 😂 I just gave up, but both fugues were always my favorites. This transcription has less embellishments than the Schirmer's version than I'm used to.
More and more one has to use better (more recent?) editions, and be wary of those too. Compare several versions before deciding which notes to use, which ornaments, etc.
Bach must have been having a beautiful day when he wrote this one. Excellent playing, Richard!
