Dietrich Stoeffken Suite in A minor
Переглядів 1984 роки тому
This is music by my all time favorite composer, Dietrich Stoeffken. This selection is a lot closer in musical ideas to J. S. Bach's music but it still retains the sublime introspective beauty of the other Stoeffken's bass viol compositions. Five movements: 1. Allemande 0:06, 2. Courante I 3:26, 3. Courante II 4:58, 4. Sarabande 6:33, 5. Gigue 8:51.

    Georg, this is a real miracle! To be honest, I have never heard such music before. Yes, there is Bach and he is a genius, but behind the peak of his form the sensuality and those experiences that are heard in the Dietrich Stoeffken suites are obscured. Each of his suites, even in major, is imbued with such quiet sadness, where one can barely hear timid hope. To be honest, I listen to it on repeat, and every time it’s like it’s the first time! Thank you for sharing such a treasure. A low bow from me. I am sure that musicians all over the world will discover his enchanting music.

    Good afternoon! Could you tell me where I could get the sheet music of this amazing composer? I want to make an arrangement for the archlute. But I can’t find any links or information about the notes anywhere :( Maybe you still have some sheet music materials?

    • @georgesvoboda
      @georgesvoboda Рік тому

      Hello Dmitry, I am not surprised that you cannot find any written music. It took me a very long time to compile some of Dietrich Stoeffken's music and I looked everywhere! I found bits and pieces in different sources mainly in tablature manuscripts, some bass viol publications and viola da gamba recordings. I got enough material for five suites which I transcribed and recorded. If you give me your email address I will be glad to share this Suite in A minor with you. It is originally written in G minor so it should sound beautifully on archlute. I opted to move it from G minor to A minor and keep the guitar in standard tuning.

    2 things I would like to comment: first keep a seady tempo; Second make the sound intonation more equal ; and you're close to it. It is my hope I make my self clear; and you have chosen pieces that are not easy: Bravo for the effort!

    • @georgesvoboda
      @georgesvoboda Рік тому

      Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment on the video. The intonation is a known problem for the guitar I played. Miguel Rodriguez was stubbornly resisting to use scientific method of spacing the frets out on his guitars. The result is a magnificent sound but sometimes the intonation is off. Mine is not the only guitar that has the problem. The tempo fluctuation is sometimes intentional :-) I always felt that the Moog synthesizer recordings of Bach's works did more harm than good for public perception of Bach's music. When I play his music I just try to go where the music takes me. Thank you again for listening and your thoughtful analysis and critique.

    @stevefulnecky4563 Рік тому

    Thanks for going through all that trouble to put it up. That was a basket full of memorization and practice to get that! Tarrega would have played that without nails as well. Quite a chore. Segovia went to go play for him once, but was advised by his followers not to play for him due to his use of the nails. Hard to fathom, but that is supposedly the true story. He was buried in a "cheap" grave ( Tarrega ) but was later exhumed to be buried in a more "honorable" spot. Chris Parkening's method book has a photo of this event. I thought that I read that Tarrega's widow finally sold his guitar around 1913 in Cuba, or to a Cuban. Someone would know more about that than I do, I'm sure. Nice tribute.
