J.S. Bach: Partita in A Minor, Allemande BWV 1013; David Tayler, archlute

  • The allemande from the Partita in A Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach, performed on the archlute by David Tayler. The music is sourced from an undated manuscript; the handwriting suggests that the copyist worked on one of the copies of the violin partitas as well. The title is marked "Solo p[our une] flûte traversière par J. S. Bach." It seems clear that the work was intended for the traverso, or baroque flute, but it is tempting to consider that the work could have been played in Bach's time on the recorder, lute, violin or cello. The style of the opening allemande is similar to several of Bach's preludes, and contains some of his finest work as a composer.
    Many years ago, I heard my lute teacher Lucy Cross playing some beautiful music as I walked through the door. The music was unlike anything I had ever heard. "I'm arranging some Bach for the lute," she said. This video is dedicated to her memory.

      Also, as an old folkie guitar player with tendinitis, I notice that despite the very wide fretboard on that huge lute, this
      particular piece does not seem to require a large enough reach to cause discomfort on the musician's
      left hand.

    David: I must compete with fullsome praise. A version of this music also exists for solo flute, which version I have played. You do the better of the two musical justice. Moreover, other Baroque composers have written a text this good: Yet that is another discussion. MANY THANKS, SIR! Your clear love of music has educated many--a contribution to civilization!

    When I've played this on flute I've chosen a tempo way slower than flutists usually use, and it's brought out the depth of Bach's musical heart much better; the tempo here is similar to mine, it's a thrill to hear such meaningful expression in it --- thank you!

      Disagree. It's beautiful music, but simply too slow.
      Don't know why musicians feel compelled to alter Bach's tempi to extremes.
      Ton Koopman is way too fast, like he's driving a coach and horses to oblivion.
      Why??

    • @Lex_Illovici
      @Lex_Illovici 5 років тому +6

      I think it is different with every instrument the archlute sounds better at a slow tempo because you have all those extra strings vibrating but on a flute you don't have that so you have to speed it up to keep it from being musically boring.

    such a beautiful piece in the song and the way he plays from his movements and facial expressions theres an emotional rollercoaster its begins a bit sad then slowly lightens up and suddenly it falls back into a lonely place it rises again steadily he feels warmth and comfort when playing he acknowledges the song and it's meaning seeing it stands as a reminder that we are not all alone his expressions shift from down to cheery and complete love for the music and the memories the song brings and the nostalgic sounds of his echoing past ..
