Ausgezeichnet ! You have arrived at last at the apogee of Bach's talents. The piece de resistance of St.Mathew's passion. The melismatic style of the original is so difficult to capture in an instrument like the piano Ruoshi but you have done a very good job here. The appogiaturas come out so nicely as well.
OOOHH!! Great!! This is also my favorite aria from St. Matthew Passion. I loved it when you play the piano version of it!. This is one of the songs I would like to master soo your piano fingering will help me a lot! Btw, I immediately listen to this 7 minutes after you uploaded this video since I love this aria and your piano playing :))
This is great. I own the transcriptions by Ruoshi Sun and by Kotaro Fukuma. You've now sold me to Bagge's transcription as well. I'm no sure why I had overlooked it. Your rendition is outstanding.
Amazing! Could be great to see you do some transcripts of some of Handels works at some point, maybe some of his organ concertos or his Funeral Anthem for Queen Caroline?
What a beautiful performance. You make this look so easy! Also, what temperament is this? I can tell it’s not equal temperament, but not sure what kind of tuning you’re using :) Is it well-temperament?
Beautiful rendition of the piano transcription of this beautiful aria! I just have a question: I would like to play this with a vocalist. Can I use the same score as the one you used for the piano? Or is this score only for the piano?
Because this score is a piano transcription, it consists of the alto and accompaniment all to be played by the piano soloist alone. In your case I would recommend the edition by Julius Stern, which is listed under the tab "Vocal Score" instead of "Arrangements and Transcriptions" if you follow the IMSLP download link in this video. There you will be playing just the accompaniment. The alto part has its own staff.
@@RuoshiSun I looked through the scores under vocal parts in the IMSLP and it seems all of the scores are written for more than one voice part (SATB). Is it possible to find one that is written for two instruments: Voice and Piano with two staves only?
Yes, in the Julius Stern edition flip to Erbarme dich and you'll see that it's for alto and piano only. Check the page number from the table of contents.
Hallo Ruoshi, I like this piece of Bach so mutch, but can not find the good sheet music by imslp is it posseble to send me the pdf from this piece to my email adres ( I will pay you for it ) hope to play it as you do. And thxx for the other songs you let enjoy us thxx for that regards Anita.
Hi Anita, I'm glad you share my enthusiasm for this work. I will not accept any payment for the score because I am using the existing one on IMSLP! imslp.org/wiki/Special:ReverseLookup/124042 It should redirect you to "For Piano (Bagge)". Erbarme dich is on p.80 of the PDF (marked as p.74). If you are accompanying a soloist, I recommend the vocal score by Stern imslp.org/wiki/Special:ReverseLookup/20898 I hope this helps!
May I ask you something? I really want to play Bach's St. Matthew passion on the piano so bad (especially the opening chorus, this aria, etc). I've seen that there are a lot of parts that only a person with fingers long enough can play it. My finger is not that long. For instance, if I play on C major, I'm able to push C4 and D5 at the same time when I stretch my hand to the max. I can't reach more than that. (I tried it already on my own piano haha! ) So, how should I handle those parts that require me to play a wide range of notes? I need advice.
There are several ways to deal with large intervals. I usually consider the following in order of preference: 1. Hand distribution. See if you can play the note by the other hand. (What's written in the left/right hand staff does not have to be played by the left/right hand.) 2. Arpeggiation. See the left hand B-D♯ at 5:05 for example. I can play this interval without arpeggiation but I would need more time to prepare. 3. Transposition. If the work is an arrangement you can transpose the note up/down an octave especially if the part is an accompaniment. Be careful of parallels and/or leaps within the part. 4. Omission. If the note at question is covered by another part in a different octave. (You can think of it as #3 such that the octave transposition overlaps with an existing note.) Also see my transcription of Kyrie eleison from the Mass in B minor for many demos. It looks almost impossible on paper that some have criticized it as unplayable. But I have no problem playing it using the above techniques.
This composition is one of the most beautiful and marvellous i've heard in my life. Bravo!

Thank you, you play with lots of emotion.
One of my favourite parts! (Beside the opening chorus)

Johann Sebastian Bagge
bach is magical
Beautiful thanks
Wow, hard to play, super cool interpretation!
Lovely. You inspired me to learn this.
Amazing! Could be great to see you do some transcripts of some of Handels works at some point, maybe some of his organ concertos or his Funeral Anthem for Queen Caroline?
Thank you for the suggestion! I have a very long to-do list of mainly Bach's works, but I'll see where it can fit in!
Beautiful❤
Wow
What a beautiful performance. You make this look so easy! Also, what temperament is this? I can tell it’s not equal temperament, but not sure what kind of tuning you’re using :) Is it well-temperament?
Yes, I used Werckmeister which is a type of well-temperament.

@@RuoshiSun Thanks a lot for the reply! I'll note that down! 😁😁
@@RuoshiSunsuch a thoughtful response. You make the world better
I really appreciate your work, but this time you didn't manage to bear the beauty of that timeless aria, sorry.
