I'm glad that you allow the bass notes to ring on after the first beat of each bar. In my opinion it sounds a lot better like this, as well as being easier to play!
my opinion: Yes, its easier to play, indeed. But first said: not what Bach composed (but that may be not the strongest argument if one talks about interpretation etc). I learned this piece with 13-14 yrs or so. I remember the struggle with muting the bass-strings (and on top: strings one didn't play but they "ringed" by resonance) in the beginning. My brilliant guitar teacher said: of course it sounds not worse to let them ring, one may even say: it sounds better (like you). But give it a try, kids (
I'm currently learning this piece using instruction from Isaac Bustos on Tonebase and when I first watched him play with dampening base notes I was intimidated. I decided to trust the learning process and within a couple of weeks I was using this technique without difficulty. So gald I did! @@christophermuller9489
Merci chère Violaine pour cette interprétation lumineuse du prélude de Bach prévu à l'origine pour le luth mais que vous interprétez avec beaucoup de talent à la guitare...
I’ve played this on the piano for many years but listening to this is a revelation, bringing out so much previously unheard and intricate detail, clarity, and resonance from this beautiful instrument and wonderful player
Woah. What an incredible rendition, that has taken me by surprise. This interpretation takes it from 'yet another rapid prelude' to something of yearning and interest. The controlled pace lets the harmonies sing without feeling exposed. Inspired.
One of the MOST beautiful pieces on classical guitar I've EVER heard, THE Best rendition of BWV 999, and if you don't mind me saying, Played by the Most Beautiful classical guitarist I've ever seen!... And I've seen hundreds!... God bless you, and may your talent take you to the heights you wish it to!.. ❤
Boy, what a surprise! I did not know this prelude and I find it extremely beautiful. I did not know Violaine and I find her extremely beautiful, body, mind and spirit. I did not know the Philip Woodfield and I find it (try a hard guess...). Thanks Siccas, again and again.
0:41 what a stretch … I’ve tried but I can’t reach the C (3rd string) with the second finger, keeping the first finger on the F (6th string). It’s an outstanding performance!
@@lebbio2795 if you pay attention, you will see that the third finger needs to be on the third string, the fourth finger needs to be on the second string, and th fifth finger needs to be on the first string (all on the fifth fret) for the arpeggio, hence you can only hope that watering your fingers will help them grow :-) or you play it with a guitar that has a shorter diapason, which I believe to be the case here.
@@andreavocinono, what I was saying is that you can use the 5th finger to cover the 1,2 and third strings simultaneously. So the only finger you’ll use are the first and the fifth that covers the first 3 strings. That’s the way I play it. Hope it’s more clear now
I wish to play again after a 15 year hiatus but the toxicity of my environment and neighbors prevent me. All those years lost. Today I would have been playing this song. It had always been a life goal and wish to try as soon as I leave this toxic environment I am in.
interesting fingering! Each time i watch someone new i find a different fingering. Eventually i hope to find a way to play this that is comfortable. Bravo!!
Today's bass note update, fellows : - The piece is written in two bar phrases, and the first bass note in each bar is the most obvious place to make that known, and felt. The " fire and forget " method just doesn't do it for me anymore .........................
So, JB does this in the video that was below this just now - no damping. BUT, I've gone to the other extreme. I've just decided I like this with the first note held as a quaver ( ! ) to match the effective length of the other two bass notes. Give it a spin ................
0:40 esta Loca. Esa posición no se que maestro se la enseño pero es como ir a la Guerra. Tiene mucho mérito, nunca ví algo igual, de 10 veces le erras a 5. Encima tuvo una pausa, que no tiene sentido sacrificar ese pasaje con esa dificultad, hay muchas maneras de resolver esa posición.
Well played. Personally I adore Bach and you treated it well. The guitar was beautifully balanced too btw. Congratulations to both the luthier and the player.
Actually looks a bit dangerous ... Anyway, I've just heard this piece in a new light, and I don't mean on this vid ! I didn't learn this piece with damped bass notes, because I couldn't even play the piece, how was I going to damp the bass notes ? Now some giant on telly is playing it, and not damping the bass notes, what's the score ? I can tell you now exactly why it's better with damped bass notes ( you lucky people ! ) . This twelve note arpeggio includes three very prominent bass notes. Played with the accents as in this vid, particularly with the emphasis on the bass which the sustained bottom note gives, we end up hearing a fairly simple bass line with " some chords " . The technical reason for damping the bass note is to anchor the hand, so you can hit the fifth note of the pattern and make it nearly as powerful as the first note of the pattern, and the musical reason is to allow the groove to come through - just damping that note clarifies what's happening. P.S. I find it very easy to count her accents as grouped 5 3 4, which should not be easy at all ! ! !
This piece should be twice as fast as this. The only recording I ever heard of it at a sensible ( novice clavichord player's ) tempo, was one of Segovia's many recordings of it. In some ways I think it's fair to say that this is the numero uno for guitarists, not RDA. If I had the dosh I'd buy that guitar for the head alone, that's gorgeous ! P.S. Pardon my French - I of course meant " RDL'A " !
Bwv 666 Bach composition / hymn to the effects of Christ's body and blood. Bach said of all his work it is for the glory of God. Of course composers in those days usually had to do work within the Church as one of the main sponsors of music and art as well. 666 is just superstition.
Why are critical, uncomfortable but quite meaningful comments deleted? As before. Why are the prescribed breaks not observed? Muting the bass strings on every 2nd quarter!) It spoils the character of the piece! It is then striking (visually and acoustically) at the point with the overextension from the F-bass to the (quasi barrée at the 5th fret. There you take the finger away. Also the melodic line is not correct, because you do not emphasize the ostinato 2 eighth bass notes correctly.
Every note from Violaine imbues feeling and texture that truly captivates.
I'm glad that you allow the bass notes to ring on after the first beat of each bar. In my opinion it sounds a lot better like this, as well as being easier to play!

Many years ago there was a classical AM radio station in Atlanta (WGKA 1190) that used a guitar arrangement of this prelude as its sign-off theme.
I really really love this tempo and the dynamics in this fabulous rendition congratulations!

Just use the 5th finger for the 3 strings
@@lebbio2795 indeed. This requires some strength in that finger but after some practice it is doable
That stretch should serve as a proof that she is not from this planet. ! I am dying with awe and envy !

Humille Maestro. Excelente. Toda una muestra de como frasear. Gracias 😊
Hermosa sonoridad , muy agradable , muy buena interpretación, saludos desde República Dominicana
I was trying to learn this a few years ago while taking lessons, this is a great teaching aid now
beautiful girl, beautiful music.
thank you very much for your wonderful performance.
from South Korea with friendship😊😊👍👍😊😊😊😊
Great musicians from S.K., classical and non classical. Cheers!
@Konstantin Ridaya For sure! Le Départ and pieces by Mangoré... She is a delight (her playing).
Fantástica interpretação sem pressa, com dinâmica expressiva parabéns

Stay strong!
Just leave
сильный ищет возможности, слабый - оправдания
How would playing classical affect your neighbors if you dont mind me asking
Who is the naiybour musclic
Wonderful sensational unbelievable
L enjoyed as a classical guitarist
I really enjoyed listening to your incredible beautiful music.
Thank you so much
👍👏🌹🌹🌹💕.
interesting fingering! Each time i watch someone new i find a different fingering. Eventually i hope to find a way to play this that is comfortable. Bravo!!
Both player and performance beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful
e magnifico ! bravissimo !!!
Hi im in musical school my teacher yesterday gived me this song :)
Have fun! My 13-year-old plays this piece for warm up, I thought it is just an exercise until I saw this video :)
That was truly beautiful. If somehow there is reincarnation, I will try to arrange it so that I will come back as a classic guitarist.
Bravo!! Very well done! 👏👏🌹🌹
Well played. With power.
Amazing!!!
Muy práctica y relajada su digitación.
0:41, imposible para los demás mortales
Arrangement is wonderful
Magnífico!
sublime
Excellent....
Très solide, merci
Those stretches! Especially the notorious FM7 shape! It keeps the voices consistent, though.
Like a tarantula on LSD 🥳
ENJOYED 💯
Bravo!

it always makes me feel like I can do it too, then, alas, it is not meant to be
Keep doing it you´ll get there and far beyond.

XXX 4 Violaine !!! And even more 4 J.S.B8-t !!!!
¿Tenéis algún canal para principiantes? Gracias!

wish I could play that....
You can!
Great. ;)

Я мизинцем беру барре на 5 ладу на 0:40
elle n'étouffe pas les basses ici , c'est beaucoup mieux ainsi. Elle le joue vraiment bien.
naily
0:58 wrong bass
A beautiful woman plays beautiful music. That's all I can say.
She's a great performer, but it sounds better on an archlute.
You know if you flip the numbers up side down from 999 it is 666. Just saying.
The number of a prelude, but don't forget, Bach didn't call it BWV 999, he called it " Prelude " .
Bwv 666 Bach composition / hymn to the effects of Christ's body and blood. Bach said of all his work it is for the glory of God. Of course composers in those days usually had to do work within the Church as one of the main sponsors of music and art as well.
