Bach Fantasia for recorder solo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- JS Bach very probably never wrote a piece for solo recorder.
But all recorder players need music by Bach.
The composer himself gave numerous examples of how the same music could be transcribed into different scorings including solo versions without bass.
This Fantasia (arranged after the model of Telemann’s Fantasias for flute) is an experiment and uses three movements of the second French Suite c-minor for harpsichord.
In these movements the right hand on the harpsichord plays homophonic and harmonically self-explaining figurations that don’t urgently need the bass line for understanding.
Feels great to play!
very well transcribed and performed
And this is the master who speak
Allemande: 0:00
Courante: 2:28
Minuet 1: 4:40
Minuet 2: 5:53
return to Minuet 1: 6:49
And for those of you who, like me, had trouble finding the sheet music for the second minuet, it's on p. 3 here: s9.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usimg/e/ea/IMSLP03331-Bach__-BGA-__BWV_813a814a815a.pdf
I woke up this morning feeling quite deflated after watching my team, Manchester United, throw away a lead by conceding two goals deep into injury time in a must win game in the English Premier League. My head is pounding with enervating thoughts. I turn on my iPad and click on UA-cam. Front and Centre and at the top of my feed is this video. Knowing that Bach is the perfect medicine to lift the human spirit when we are at our most fragile, I click and play this video. Suddenly I am lifted up and elevated, I am soaring like an eagle, being transported into an entirely different dimension. My whole mood is transformed and everything in life seems meaningful. Goals are achievable (Not for United at the moment!!), I mean Life Goals and not football ones, Aspirations are attainable. As this music plays it renews and restores my depleted energy, the sweetness of the notes and the fluency of the melody enriches my Soul. I look out of the window and the Sun starts to shine. What more do we need in this life? A little warm sunshine and the music of Bach. Beautiful music, wonderfully played by an excellent musician! With sunshine and Bach in my life, I can achieve anything! Thank you for transforming my day! Your performance is truly inspirational. I will float through my day carried through the air by a multitude of mellifluous notes elevating me and propelling me onwards.
this has made my day. what beautiful playing, and Bach - as always - can be beautifully channeled as if he had written this specifically for the recorder.
Wow, this transcription works very well and the performance is impressive.
what a warm gorgeous and colorful sound, people especially American will have a bias since we were forced to hack away in second grade, but its sound is like a woodlike organ stop, very rich and mellow.
Wunderfully transcribed and played!!!
Holy goddamn, that's fucking beautiful. I could barely blow "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on my shitty plastic recorder in fifth grade. How lovely his music sounds!!
As an amateur recorder player, I feel no pressure to exhibit my skills by executing a piece at maximum speed. I find that playing more slowly gives the music more expression and clarity. Lovely passages, intricate ones, exciting ones are more so at lower pace. The listener and player have more opportunity to absorb and to appreciate them.
This works really well, nice job. I've take some of Bach's French Suites and turned them into "etudes" for solo violin too. Like you said the melodic line envelopes the harmony too so the bass isn't totally necessary for the piece to work. Congrats!
감동적인 연주입니다.
바하의 음악은 위대합니다.
그렇지만 현실적으로 그 아름다움을 전하는 사람은 당신같은 훌륭한 연주자입니다.
감사합니다.
so true sista 💅
Yes, it is really beautiful
SENSACIONAL...! O melhor que ouvi. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for your rendition and for the idea. The Allemande especially works great!! 💙
Superb interpretation! Bravo!
Beautifully performed
Bravo bravissimo🎶❤️🎵
The articulation at 1:04 is really cool.
Being a fan of yours for years. Thanks for this video. By the way, I subscribe to your channel.
Great.
Bravo❤
Bach estrondoso e você é fantástico. Parabéns!
Superb!
Maravilhosa interpretação!
Vielen Dank
Quel musicien! Il joue super bien!! Super son aussi. Quelle est la marque de sa flûte?
Where can I find the sheets? Very impressive.
Sehr geehrter herr schneider, warum klingt ihre holzpfeife so verzaubernd schön??
What's the difference between a recorder and a flute?
Lovely arrangement - where can I find/buy the score?
There doesn't exist a definite score. Anyone who wants to play this, should make an own arrangement. The mine changes for every performance. Take Bach's Suite No.2 in C minor, BWV 813 on IMSLP, start the Allemande with a "d" on an Alto recorder and follow the top line. There are only very few bars where you have to integrate the bass line into your melody ( at least in the Allemande, Corrente and Menuets! Good luck!
@@michaelschneider3584 Thanks
Very good and excellent transcription. Is there a way to get the score?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@Michael, who is the maker of your alto?
It was made by Sebastian and Joel Meyer, Switzerland. meyerrecorders.com
i need ten years more of training to play like this.
No lo creo así... Si ya has comenzado a estudiar flauta dulce, practica con un buen/a profe y persevera. Antes de / años tocarás muy bien.
Any chance you are playing a Stanesby Jr copy by Martin Wenner?
Bellissimo. Esecuzione perfetta. Dove posso trovare lo spartito? Mi piacerebbe studiarlo.
Grazie! non è necassario un spartito: Prendi la versione originale di Bach, immagini la prima nota come un "re" - è avanti!
Ci sono soltanto poche misure nelle questi tre movimenti, dove si deve riprendere la linea del basso alla melodia.
Grazie del consiglio. Che strumento sta suonando? Ha un suono splendido.

Me lo immaginavo...ha una proiezione sonora unica!
Where can I find this sheet music?
please read my answer for claudio giannotti one month ago , who asked the same question.
@@michaelschneider3584 Ok, thank you! Sorry for the bother!
Searching French Suite No.2 in C minor, BWV 813 on IMSLP does the trick for those interested. Also, it's for harpsichord as mentioned under the video and will need to be adapted for the recorder.
Soprano et alto?
Alto
Sehr schon Maestro!
Danke schon! ¿
Fake Bach recorder music, but very interesting. Congratulations! Bach is Bach, always.
Super Idee!!! Toll gespielt! Danke! Mich würde sehr Ihre Meinung zu meinen Bearbeitungen von den Orgelwerken Bachs für Blockflöten interessieren (weil Sie ja gerade selber eine Bearbeitung gespielt haben). Deshalb meine Frage: Würden Sie einmal auf meine UA-cam Seite (ua-cam.com/channels/3oDcrS7TxZhRwtbA4YAXFQ.html ) gehen und einige Bearbeitungen sich anhören? Finden Sie solche Bearbeitungen angemessen? Was denken Sie darüber? Ich habe Ihr Interview beim Telemann-Zentrum Magdeburg gehört - und fand das sehr interessant! Besonders, was Sie über Bearbeitungen gesagt haben. Deshalb auch meine Frage. Was mich eigentlich bei den Bearbeitungen so begeistert, ist die Verwandtschaft der Orgel zur Blockflöte (quasi eine „lebende Orgel“) - aber, so finde ich, (dass gerade bei einer Fuge) die einzelnen Stimmen noch plastischer zu hören sind. Rechtfertigt das solche Bearbeitungen? Was denken Sie?
Es bedarf immer sorgfältiger Abwägung, wo die Grenze verläuft, d. h. zu entscheiden, ab wann man der Musik Schaden zufügt. Wenn häufige Knickungen wegen Umfangsbegrenzungen nötig werden, ist m.E. diese Grenze überschritten. Bei ihren Bearbeitungen gerade von Orgelwerken, die ich mir angehört habe, hat sich mir die Qualität der Musik absolut mitgeteilt!!
@@michaelschneider3584 Vielen Dank für die Antwort!!!
Harald, he escuchado tu trabajo. ¡Te felicito! Se escucha muy lindo. Soy flautista de Chile. Me llamo Isabel Neira. Te saludo desde acá.
Share the score, don't be egotist , thanks🙏
