This gentleman really impress me. I really admire the independance of his hands. He also by the same time play the bass with his feet.......Can you imagine.......He is really great. Congratulations to him.
absolutely wonderful performance, and this pedal clavichord has to be one of the most beautiful man made objects i have ever seen: such austere beauty, nothing can be added and nothing can be taken away, just like Bach´s music
Be careful what you wish for! The trio sonatas are deceptively difficult - true brain and coordination puzzles. 3 of the 6 are rated as the most difficult pieces of Bach.
This checks every musical box I’ve got in my brain (when played very loudly in the car with really good stereo speakers). Thank you for sharing your masterful performance of this brilliant tune, Mr. Karosi!
Wow, cool instruments, nicely played and recorded. Feel like I'm in the room with you. The pedal clavichord is amazing. Wish I had something like this for my piano. J.S. Bach is such a groovy composer. Thanks for sharing.
I learned of the pedal harpsicord through an E. Power BIggs record and was blown away. Now, here's this amazing dude with his own pedal clavicord in his living room....blown away again. I'm happy if I can just keep my left hand from tripping over my right!
Can almost picture the great Bach at home checking out his compositions at the clavichord before unleashing his artistic compulsions via his many formidable Six-Packs! Great rendition Sir having only heard this three part gem performed on the organ, this is an aural treat. Thank you.
Must take a long time to regulate and tune! But what a splendid instrument! Or should I say Three instruments? Is there any coupling between them? Great 16' on the pedal H'chord. Thank you for posting this.
Difference being: Dr. Karosi is playing a Clavichord - a 'tangent' struck instrument - which is in itself interesting as being the only keyboard instrument it is possible to create a tremulant to its sound. This requires a good deal of after-touch available though. The Glyndebourne Goble is a H'chord. The 16' on the H'chord is available right to the top key - which is where Martin Isepp got this beautiful flute sound. Anyone with a 16' on their H'chord should try this!
Superb ability. Superb instrument. I have been looking for a recording of this work on pedal clavichord for some time. Bear in mind that this is a quiet instrument by nature. Listen carefully with volume low. Thank you for this recording.
Unusual now, yes; but I suspect it may, in the eighteenth Century, have been a common "home practice instrument" for.....guess what! Organists - saving them creeping into cold church organ lofts, and having to pay for the "pump person".
It's amazing to hear this sonate on the harpsichord after being used to organ or piano or wind instruments transcriptions. It sounds as it was written for this kind of instrument. Great performance and handsome performer!
This must be the most difficult instrument to play in the world. You have to control the dynamics as on the piano, and simultaneously play several manuals and a pedalboard as on the organ.
I think you can't really control the dynamics that much because of how this instrument is constructed. Also organ is a bit harder because of more manuals/stops etc. Still an omega instrument to play. Listening to this music is pure joy.
I keep posting that this is great stuff. And I'm happy to say it again. Masterful playing on a very precise unforgiving instrument. Nice pickup with your mics. Still using your ZOOM?
What strings are used for the 16'? Are they copper covered. The 16' Goble stop (two manual) produces the most amazing sound in its upper registers which Martin Isepp used to make the most of at Glyndebourne. I used to tune there for over 1/4 Century!!
I keep wondering about having the pedals at 16' pitch. Do we have any historical evidence that pedal harpsichords/clavichords would preferentially have a 16' stop? That is, if there could only be one stop on the pedals, it would be 16' and not 8'? Over the years, I become increasingly convinced that the French thought of the (organ) pedals as being at written pitch (i.e. the 8' is always dominant, even if 16' or 32' stops are included), whereas for the Germans, the pedals were treated as an octave below written pitch (much like the contrabass). If this is true, then, naturally, in a German-oriented instrument, if you can only afford to have one stop on the pedals, it would be 16'.
TWANG, toWOng, TWING Yeah this was most definitely a practice instrument for the organ Pretty amazing that you have one and great playing, it's just not a very good instrument as a concept, there were a lot of issues with the sound production of clavichords, one of them how rough and weird bass notes came out, that's why ultimately it was substituted by the Pianoforte.
That's the longest clavichord I've ever seen -- 16' pitch for the pedal strings? And the small clavichord on the top still manages to sound like a decent-sized instrument.
It's an odd passive listening experience but unlike the organ, you can really pick apart the piece with attentive listening more readily due to the sharpness of the timbre and less echoey resonance.
Hello Balint, your playing is excellent and masterly - congratulations and your instrument very interesting! I can't see any microphones, do you use the camera microphones for recording? My preferred microphone position can be seen here: ua-cam.com/video/nrHW4d7pp34/v-deo.html . Do not disturb yourself at the amateurish lecture. But finding the optimal microphone position is definitely worth it.
this was actually the second time I watched it gets annoying after a while especially the pedal sound not trying to hate, I really liked the video nonetheless

The "Andante" is my absolute favourite of the Sonatas :)
The Sonatas are masterpieces in every single aspect for organ music this cannot be denied!
absolutely wonderful performance, and this pedal clavichord has to be one of the most beautiful man made objects i have ever seen: such austere beauty, nothing can be added and nothing can be taken away, just like Bach´s music
These recordings with the pedal clavichord are a joy to listen to!
And yet they expect us pianists to play everything with our hands... Just imagine the bass you could get out of a piano with pedals!
its writen for different instrument and / or organ in first instance. not for piano.
correction: instruments
There are pedal pianos!
@Bryan C. correction the world needs more harpsichordist atleast everyoe knows what an organ is
Be careful what you wish for! The trio sonatas are deceptively difficult - true brain and coordination puzzles. 3 of the 6 are rated as the most difficult pieces of Bach.
Wonderful. The booming bass notes are fantastic.
One of the most bewitching performances of wonderful music on an superb combination of instruments, in the hands of a master - Fabulous! Thank you.
This checks every musical box I’ve got in my brain (when played very loudly in the car with really good stereo speakers). Thank you for sharing your masterful performance of this brilliant tune, Mr. Karosi!
The mind and need entire nervous system is, well, miraculous. At least for these multiple keyboard types. Very impressive instrument, too.
Spettacolare !!! Strumento unico e esecuzione magistrale.
Wow, cool instruments, nicely played and recorded.
Feel like I'm in the room with you.
The pedal clavichord is amazing. Wish I had something like this for my piano.
J.S. Bach is such a groovy composer.
Thanks for sharing.
Прекрасное исполнение! Приятно слушать! И очень нравится звук этого клавикорда.
I learned of the pedal harpsicord through an E. Power BIggs record and was blown away. Now, here's this amazing dude with his own pedal clavicord in his living room....blown away again. I'm happy if I can just keep my left hand from tripping over my right!
Kudos from J. S. Bach to his student Balint Karosi!
Fabulous. I love playing the clavichord and it's a great privilege to listen to an artist like Mr. Karosi. Thank you.
Fantastic performance! These trio sonatas are sooo hard!
Can almost picture the great Bach at home checking out his compositions at the clavichord before unleashing his artistic compulsions via his many formidable Six-Packs! Great rendition Sir having only heard this three part gem performed on the organ, this is an aural treat. Thank you.

So much noises for a divine music! A great lesson for these modern times. Thank you for sharing.
Fascinante installation, en passant.

William Huband ... indeed, yes.
wow, i love those pedal keyboard notes
Exelente interpretación!
Wonderful. Thank you.
Crazy funky pedals!
THIS INSTRUMENT IS OBVIOUSLY FOR PRACTICING ORGAN PLAYING. BUT IT HAS CHARM OF IT'S OWN. LESS IS MORE!
Amazing!!!
Thank you. Brilliant performance. Excellent video. 🇨🇦

clavichord not harpsichord

Wow you are indeed good at this. I’ve been enjoying your channel. The trio sonatas are cool. So are the odd little European positiv organs. Thanks.

No, I have been using Mixpre 6 preamps and a mix of Neumann 143 and Schoeps MK2 capsule mics
@@bkarosi Good mic choices. Also explains the decent bottom end.

Thank you. I truly loved both your playing and the sound of the instrument (and of course Bach's work but it goes without saying).
Beautiful!
Wow so wonderful! Thank you for posting this video.
Every post a delight!
Amo Bach !
this is amazing!!!
Very beautifull performance. Thanks.
Superb. Music is flowing with you. You never make the technique feel. And with no score ? This is hardcore performing.
Бодренько
Superb!!

Yeah this was most definitely a practice instrument for the organ
Pretty amazing that you have one and great playing, it's just not a very good instrument as a concept, there were a lot of issues with the sound production of clavichords, one of them how rough and weird bass notes came out, that's why ultimately it was substituted by the Pianoforte.
The bass notes are terrible, but for pieces that don't require bass notes it sounds different and refreshing I think.
You must not be a big fan of guitars...
It has an imperfect, very old world sound, which is what is so cool about it, especially for Baroque music.
@@hdrenginedevelopment7507 yeah could be
Belíssimo 💕💕💕❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Omg where did you get that instrument? Beautiful playing
Sooo, how about them plates ey?
Looks like the upper instrument is double-strung fretted, the lower is double-strung unfretted, and the pedal is...quadruple strung?
Please record more Bach pedal clavichord.
Is this a re-upload? Thanks for changing out your smoke detector batteries!
i will sample this and compose an appropriate answer
Good
Is that the final version?
@Balint Karosi May I ask which replica is this based on whom was the clavichord instrument maker? Is this a circa 18th 17th century instrument?
Dont take it down again.
Hello Balint, your playing is excellent and masterly - congratulations and your instrument very interesting! I can't see any microphones, do you use the camera microphones for recording? My preferred microphone position can be seen here: ua-cam.com/video/nrHW4d7pp34/v-deo.html . Do not disturb yourself at the amateurish lecture.

Is this the first portable keyboard?
TERIFFIC !!
What is the range of this clavichord?
La pedalera existió en el tiempo del instrumento o es un agregado moderno?
i am thinking taking up music education on some open course ware
I could do that to… if I wanted to. I just don’t feel like it.
Is this guy real, or is he a robot from the future?
That man can also play PIPE ORGAN......
Statistical error with the downvotes, must be Kenny G fans.
great peformance, interesting instrument but it sounds awful
Listen to a couple more times, and you will get accustomed to the sound!
this was actually the second time I watched
it gets annoying after a while
especially the pedal sound
not trying to hate, I really liked the video nonetheless
Great playin, terrible sound!
