1052 is one of Bach's compositions that I adore for its dynamism, its verve, its relentless forward propulsion. I imagine, listening to this music, that I want to reach my destination although there are plenty of obstacles and distractions along the way, but the desire is one: not to stop, not to give up, not to be pushed aside, not to lose the desire to reach my goal. The clarity of your interpretation is, for me, like opening the clumped sheets in the book of life. Thank you.
I completely agree!! There seems to be MANY obstacles along the way, but he never stops going forward. Thank you for your kind words. I will say though, the video shows me playing the harpsichord for the second time ever. Since then I have gotten better at harpsichord technique and will definitely film the video again (with more ornamentation). I really appreciate you watching and your opinion on the video!! Do you have any other baroque favorites? :)
@@broquemusician Dear Artist (I don't know your name), I am all the more impressed with your playing and look forward to the next version. I am curious about the ornamentation, as this will likely add even more individuality and your own vision of the piece. I don't think my choice of favourite pieces from the Baroque period is in any way original. Since asked, I would put the Chaconne (from BWV 1004) on the pedestal, and I completely agree with Brahms' words "On one stave [...] the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings." Bach dominates my selections (forms large and small - Passions, Mass in B minor, Goldberg var., Passacaglia etc etc etc), but also Handel (harpsichord suites that have recently accompanied me whatever I do, Coronation and Chandos Anthems, Messiah, etc etc etc), Vivaldi (RV 580 to give just one example), D. Scarlatti who so incredibly ingenious with his tunes and rhythms (K. 463, K.466, K.11, K.141, K.9, K.54, K.19, K.87, haha mostly minor, supposedly for the sense of yearning and longing). Almost anything that is chaconne/passacaglia in style embroidered with variations thrills me instantly - cf. Xavier Díaz-Latorre's performances of works by Biber or Visée or L'Arpeggiata's performance of Bertali's Ciaccona! The list of favs. is endless. And what are yours? [As a complete aside, and please don't take offence, because I'm writing this frankly, for some reason your crew cut and black attire fits your performance perfectly. I don't know, maybe because your whole demeanour is, I'm looking for words - 'objective', without useless fidgeting and mimicry? Or maybe it's the boyish youthfulness you bring to the music].
@@gpsgps307 Hey, I was wondering if you had a chance to see my new version. ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html I would love to know which video you prefer. I also updated my youtube bio. Your comment has made a huge impact on me; the community also loves your comments. I will be posting more videos soon and regularly. Thank you for all of your support and inspiration!
I have heard this concerto many ties, but this is the first time I have heard the harpsichord part without the orchestra. The harpsichord really is pulling the full weight of the melody in most of this movement, starting at the beginning (in the next movement, it pulls a lot of weight but doesn't start at the beginning).
I appreciate your support! I’m shocked this is the first time a lot of viewer have seen this piece as a solo. Aren’t there other videos of BWV1052 solo on UA-cam? haha.
Wrong. The harpsichord plays at the beginning of all three movements. The harpsichord plays in ALL the tutti sections of ALL movements. Google "BWV 1052 IMSLP" to find the score.
That is a huge compliment to me! I can’t wait to hear what you think of my Vivaldi concerto arrangement (have not filmed yet). It sounds even more like a band/orchestra since it’s on the accordion. Polyphony (multiple melodies layered on top of each other) is the main reason baroque is my favorite type of music. If you have any songs suggestions please let me know.
Very good job! I've heard this piece before, but I think this is my favorite version. I think it's because the microphone is close, it just sounds so "real", and you can really hear not only what's being played but also the instrument as well, and your playing is very good too, bravo!
The voicing of my playing or the instrument (carefully shaving each bird quill plectra to the correct shape)? Thanks for watching! What is your favorite piece?

Playing Bach keyboard concerto as though it was a piano sonata (was there even such a concept during Bach's time) is crazily difficult; somehow he pulled it off. Great effort! But you do need the string instruments, or another harpsichord (kind of like 1060) to do it right.
Haha, thank you for your support. A storage unit will have to do for now until I have my own harpsichord to refine my technique. Then maybe I’ll play in an auditorium one day. I wish I discovered harpsichord earlier, this was my second time seeing one.
This is arena rock, man. Im blasting it in the car and don’t care what people think 😂 Honestly I wish someone would record more harpsichord solo versions of these concerti. Hogwood and Rousset did 1061”a” but that’s the only other I know of. Yes it’s missing some Bach, but it’s so cool to hear just the harpsichord. Thank you!!
@@broquemusician So great. I think the "angry" ones sound great solo like this... but there are swaths of the happier 1053 and 1055 where the orchestra stops, so those are natural choices, but the one that started my lifelong love of Bach is 1054. I've always thought that would be so beautiful totally solo. :)
Also...the part at 2:30 that I call the "Knight Rider section" is my favorite moment in all of Bach keyboard. It's a joy to watch you play it and I'm sure it must be a thrill to play!
Este concierto para clavécin o clavicordio es realmente estupendo como lo interpreta este joven, es perfecto, es hermoso, me encanta, mis respetos, porque para mi el barroco es lo más bello que hay en este planeta, los felicito a los que hacen posible que disfrutemos de esta divinidad.
¡Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras! Estoy trabajando muy duro para posiblemente comprar un instrumento pronto y establecer un pequeño estudio de grabación en mi habitación para poder hacer esto a tiempo completo. ¿Cuál es tu pieza barroca favorita?
@@broquemusician It’s so hard to choose! I’m partial to the Well Tempered Clavier because of my background in piano. Or else I wouldn’t mind another harpsichord concerto! I’m sure whatever you upload will be great! Thanks for playing. 👍
I love the performance, and I'm so grateful the camera mostly stays put and lets us just watch your mastery, instead of constantly jumping and moving around.
I completely agree, I was almost tempted to leave it at one angle the entire video but it was a longer piece so I thought a few would be okay. I will say though, I may have to experiment with different camera angles since my next videos feature 2 voices on right hand and the conventional angle doesn't show case my arrangement (and fingers for the 2 voices) as clearly. It's going to be a huge debate in my head as to what angles and edits I should use for each type of instrument and composition. I REALLY appreciate your feedback! Have a good day.
it’s as if the harpsichord is the whole orchestra itself, like it almost doesn’t even need strings, that’s how rich it sounds. and i applaud you for this performance; it successfully captures the essence of the concerto with an amazing clarity👏
If I did have talent, I think it would be arranging or composing music (which I only discovered a few months ago). I quit music for 6 years and just got back into it a year ago. What is your music background and age? As long as you have unphased passion, qualified mentor/instructor, and solid basics, you will definitely get to my level and beyond.

Most people favorite part 😆 that's true! Maybe because there Is a pedal note as in 6:28. Your favorite part (and the ornamento) It Is also mine. Good Job!
I added new ornamentation in my new version please let me know which video you prefer! :) Thank you for commenting! ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
Bellissima esecuzione che è molto difficoltoso eseguire. Si avverte un fraseggio distribuito sapientemente ed una stratificazione sonora e ritmica anche in strumento dove è risaputo essere difficile farlo emergere ed esprimerlo. Davvero bravo e ancora congratulazioni
Fantastic. I never actually heard it on a harpsichord if you can believe it as it is one of my favourite pieces by Bach. But really enjoyed it as well as your commentary. I agreed with you on the favourite parts. Will subscribe to hear more!
WOW! That means so much to me. Your favourite recording of BWV 1052!! I've never heard a compliment like this. Thank you so much! I will try to remake this video in the future because this was my second time seeing a harpsichord and I wasn't used to the action of the keyboard. I am trying to find a harpsichord to purchase so I can practice and post more videos. I'm not sure if I will ever play with an orchestra, but I think it would be so fun! What is your favourite harpsichord piece?
@@broquemusicianthats’s great news! Will definetly listen to that when it comes out. My favourite harpsichord piece is probrably the prelude and fugue in f minor from the well tempered clavier book 2. Their is a recording of glenn gould playing it on the harpsichord that i love and is a real feat of playing due to his fast and unweavering tempo. I also am a big fan of the toccata in E minor by Bach especially the fugue. What pieces do you enjoy the most?
Thank you so much for watching! I made a new version of this piece. Please let me know what version you like more. :) ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
I can practice viola part along your video) you're so amazing. Thank for this performance. It's the first time,when I've heard clearly only harpsichord without string orchestra. But watching your video it always plays in my head😄
You should post a video! XD I can play this on piano if I find one. Do u prefer 440 or 415? And I’m also going to post a new (hopefully better) version of this in the next few days. I very new to harpsichord and I got much better.
@broquemusician I'm amateur violist. I graduated musical school. Played violin and switched to viola at 19 y.o. I've been playing viola for three and half years)
Its got its own unique sound and its a beautiful instrument. Its amazing to hear actually what Bach would have sounded like. Loved the performance my friend. I bet Bach could just hear the music in his head then just write it down.
I appreciate your support! I’m working really hard to get my own harpsichord so I can post more videos! I never thought I would love harpsichords more than piano.
I found myself riveted, transfixed, hardly able to blink,, because of the depth to which your musicianship.brings this work of J. S. Bach's to life. I have clicked the bell and selected to be notified if you are so kind as to upload another performance of such high quality. Many thanks. PS I believe that you could well add some period-correct ornaments.
Thank you for such kind words and encouragement. I quit music for 6 years and just got back into it last year. I hope to make videos full time. I specialize in composing and arranging music on many instruments, but I do prefer solo or duets. Thank you for subscribing! I never imagined having so much support before I have even started (only two videos out). I am working on many other pieces however I will definitely redo this video since I have gotten better at harpsichord now and I agree that there should be more ornamentation. I am mainly waiting on purchasing instruments right now since the other instruments were lend to me. I also am working on building a Hubbard French Double from scratch but this will take a while to complete. A kind lady in PA donated this kit to me as she is 4 years back logged with her other instruments and would not be able to complete the kit. I can't wait to hear what you think of my next piece/video! Do you have a favorite baroque piece?
Hello, I'm "like you", a classical musician (violinist) fascinated by baroque music. I had the chance to play this whole concerto 2 times in concerts in Japan last year, with a pianist. And it was fantastic! Although I play a baroque violin that was converted in 19th century, i always wanted to play it with harpsichord and baroque style violin (tuning, strings, bow, technique, etc...). Your solo version is very courageous! I know the feeling of playing and recording music written for an ensemble, but without the other musicians (same when I have to record for an audition to be admitted to an orchestra). Some ideas: Continue to practice, never give up, find other musicians to play with (you just need a string quartet and it will sound already "grand"), and listen (not to copy but get inspired) to my favorite version by the harpsichordist Jean Rondeau, which is not only a very good recording but also excellent to teach to let us know, as non professionals ua-cam.com/video/XcsfDxojdV8/v-deo.html and good luck!
I love your comments! Thank you for sharing the link, I also really enjoy the video. Have you seen my new version of this piece? ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html I wonder which video you prefer. I am going to try to find some string players or maybe edit myself playing both parts. I have never seen or played a baroque violin yet but I am fascinated and looking for one.
@@broquemusician this is definitely one of my favourite Bach keyboard pieces. I’d be very interested in hearing you place some Goldberg Variations on this instrument.
@@JacobDTulio In the future, I am trying to build "pull down harpsichord pedals" which will allow me to play the viola melody while simultaneously playing the hand-crossing section at 2:50 - 3:20. This is how organists practiced their pedal work back in Bach's era where most people couldn't afford or access an organ.
Thank you!! I actually made a new version of this video. Please let me know which you you like better. ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.htmlsi=26ARg9dRIXrgmiet
I intented to listen couple of seconds then skip to something else, but I listenetd till the end. This is really great performance and unique arrangement which catches bachs idea of the concert and does not try to simulate all voices which is great.
It rare people listen to the end because it is such a long first movement! I really appreciate your support. I am currently building a french double kit that was donated to me so hopefully I can make videos full time. I compose and arrange for other instruments as well. Thanks for watching my first video!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for your comment. ::) I actually made a new version of this piece please let me know which one you prefer! ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
I bought a harpsichord (spinet) that just came in this week. I hope to make videos full time starting this week. I will get more videos out there as soon as possible. (I need to order a replacement string and some plectra) Thank you for your support!!
wow! i love this so much. i started playing piano and organ for almost 6 months now and until i have graduated highschool this was my goal. i got 2 and a half years left! thank you this really made me way more motivated!
That was my second time playing a harpsichord and it was a surprisingly difficult transition from piano. 2 and a half years is plenty of time! Enjoy high school while it lasts, time goes by faster after. This is forever one of my top 6 favourite pieces, please message me if you need any advice. Organ is something I've always wanted to get into (good luck on those foot pedals and fugues) but my main instrument is accordion right now because it is more accessable.
I’m extremely honored that you think I even merely resemble one of my biggest idols, Glenn Gould. He didn’t play on harpsichord as much as piano but I’m obsessed with his Prelude and Fugue in F sharp minor video.
Brilliant performance! Totally wonderful fingering-technique - with these skills you have an amazing future! Thank you for posting!! Greetings from Canada!
I have to visit Canada one day! Did you see the northern lights last weekend? Have you seen my new version of this piece? I wonder which on you prefer. Thank you for commenting! ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
This means so much to me! I will find time to make some more videos now that I see people like you enjoy watching them. I enjoy arranging as much as performing baroque music. Thank you for your kind words.
Bravo! 👏👏👏 I hope everyone saw your captions! We have the same favourite ornaments lol. I'm learning this on piano and you get can the orchestra accompaniment on Hal Leonard Minus One or Tomplay.
This is my second time seeing a harpsichord. I think I prefer it over the piano especially for baroque music. Thank you for your support! What is your favorite piece?
@@broquemusician A harpsichord suits definitly better for baroque music than a piano! :) Could you please try BWV 847, Prelude and Fugue in c minor? That's my favorite right now! :)
I hope to play harpsichord full time to post more music and a better version of this song. I’ve only played harpsichord 3 times at the time of this video and I was not able to express everything I imagine with this piece since I wasn’t use to the action. I extremely appreciate your support!
Thank you so much!! I'm working extremely hard to do this full time. I learning about better editing software and microphones. Please look out for more videos soon. :) This isn't my harpsichord, a colleague allowed me to play on his instrument in his storage unit.
Thank you for watching! What piece or technique are you learning right now? Do you have an instructor or self learning? What is your favorite composition?
@@broquemusician Thank you for asking. The piece I am learning to play is Menuett from Notenbuch for Maria Anna Mozart K5. It is my first 3/4 timing and I find it difficult so I am very much a beginner pianist. My piano teacher is great she always gives me encouragement. I have listened to you playing the accordion as well. Thank you for sharing your talent. Blessings 🙏
The harpsichord does have dynamic, just no piano-like key sensitivity. The two manuals can be coupled, many harpsichords have the lute and/or 4-foot register, and you can play with legato, staccato, and, yes, overlegato. The latter can sound very powerful on a harpsichord.
Thank you for your support. I had a few questions. Regarding the dynamic of harpsichord, would legato/staccato, count as timing or dynamic? Also, I tried searching what overlegato is and count find anything, can you please describe some more about this? I am not a professional harpsichordist. I would love to learn as much as I can about this instrument. Thank you!
@@broquemusician It counts as articulation but plays a role in dynamic as well. If you press more keys at approximately the same time (when playing a chord or arpeggio) and you , your overall performance will be louder. Overlegato (or legatissimo) means that you hold the keys of the previous note(s) for a while before releasing them while already playing the next note. In contrast, when playing legato, you stop playing the previous note exactly when you begin playing the next.
@@broquemusicianhe guy means , that sometimes you could play it less legato, or simply lighter. I hear many times, how you hit the bottom of the keyboard. And of course it's normal , cz you only start to learn. Just saying that harpsichord likes more non-legato, light articulation. You can play non-legato, staccato, portato , articulation diversity is very important here, since harpsichord doesn't know what dynamics is. In some places, I would play some more freely. In Bach's time the text was like written improvisation , and sometimes you can breathe more widely to make phrasing more clear ( another aspect extremely important when u play harpsichord)
All very interesting! Thank you all! We can all appreciate the pianist desire to learn how to play the harpsichord well. Thanks for playing this wonderful and amazing composition. Well done!
I appreciate you. I really want to do this full time but cannot yet. I enjoy arranging/performing different music on underrated or historical instruments. What’s your favorite song?
@@broquemusician I dont really have a favorite song. The answer to that question always seems to change as the years go on. Im sure you will find a way to make this a full time job. You have real talent. Just go with what your heart tells you.
@@broquemusician You're welcome! I don't think I've ever had the opportunity to play one. I started out playing guitar though. 7-string bass is all I play now. The reason I had it made for me was that I wanted to be able to cover the full range of Bach's 2 and 3 Part Inventions. I found that the extra strings make the solo violin and cello works easier to play.
I’m glad you enjoyed the performance! Where I’m from, most people don’t enjoy classical music let alone baroque music. I will upload more videos as soon as I get a chance. What is your favorite classical or baroque piece?

Невероятно, великолепно и градиозно! Спасибо замечательному исполнителю! Хочется слушать и слушать бесконечно !
Я очень ценю ваши добрые слова и надеюсь снимать видео полный рабочий день. Спасибо за вашу поддержку!
Most people favorite part 😆 that's true! Maybe because there Is a pedal note as in 6:28. Your favorite part (and the ornamento) It Is also mine. Good Job!
I added new ornamentation in my new version please let me know which video you prefer! :) Thank you for commenting! ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
@@broquemusician i would not ornate the basic theme (d,e,f), to preserve its identity.. yes any other
@@sergiogiudici6976 now that you mention it, I do agree, thank you.
Bellissima esecuzione che è molto difficoltoso eseguire. Si avverte un fraseggio distribuito sapientemente ed una stratificazione sonora e ritmica anche in strumento dove è risaputo essere difficile farlo emergere ed esprimerlo. Davvero bravo e ancora congratulazioni
Fantastic. I never actually heard it on a harpsichord if you can believe it as it is one of my favourite pieces by Bach. But really enjoyed it as well as your commentary. I agreed with you on the favourite parts. Will subscribe to hear more!
I really appreciate your support, I will make sure to post another video soon. what is your favorite baroque piece?
Wow this is an incredible recording! My new favourite recording of this piece with a Harpsichord, now we need you with an orchestra!
WOW! That means so much to me. Your favourite recording of BWV 1052!! I've never heard a compliment like this. Thank you so much!
I will try to remake this video in the future because this was my second time seeing a harpsichord and I wasn't used to the action of the keyboard.
I am trying to find a harpsichord to purchase so I can practice and post more videos.
I'm not sure if I will ever play with an orchestra, but I think it would be so fun!
What is your favourite harpsichord piece?
@@broquemusicianthats’s great news! Will definetly listen to that when it comes out. My favourite harpsichord piece is probrably the prelude and fugue in f minor from the well tempered clavier book 2. Their is a recording of glenn gould playing it on the harpsichord that i love and is a real feat of playing due to his fast and unweavering tempo. I also am a big fan of the toccata in E minor by Bach especially the fugue. What pieces do you enjoy the most?
Just realised i meant F-sharp minor not f-minor.
Thank you so much! Bach's writing really makes the harpsichord sing.
Thank you so much for watching! I made a new version of this piece. Please let me know what version you like more. :) ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
Exelente tecnica. 🎶🎶🎶💯 Felicidades 🎈
I can practice viola part along your video) you're so amazing. Thank for this performance. It's the first time,when I've heard clearly only harpsichord without string orchestra. But watching your video it always plays in my head😄
Wow, this means so much! I need to make videos full time. Do u play baroque viola? 415?
@broquemusician ahah) not at all. No,I'm actually playing common viola. I just tunnig it to baroque A 415 Hz. In another words, one semitone down
You should post a video! XD
I can play this on piano if I find one. Do u prefer 440 or 415? And I’m also going to post a new (hopefully better) version of this in the next few days. I very new to harpsichord and I got much better.
How long have u played viola for? What is your background?
@broquemusician I'm amateur violist. I graduated musical school. Played violin and switched to viola at 19 y.o. I've been playing viola for three and half years)
Strong, satisfying performance!
Its got its own unique sound and its a beautiful instrument. Its amazing to hear actually what Bach would have sounded like.
Loved the performance my friend. I bet Bach could just hear the music in his head then just write it down.
I appreciate your support! I’m working really hard to get my own harpsichord so I can post more videos! I never thought I would love harpsichords more than piano.
@@broquemusician I just love the sound of the harpsichord and I prefer it to the piano.
I hope you do get one I would love to hear more music.
I found myself riveted, transfixed, hardly able to blink,, because of the depth to which your musicianship.brings this work of J. S. Bach's to life. I have clicked the bell and selected to be notified if you are so kind as to upload another performance of such high quality. Many thanks. PS I believe that you could well add some period-correct ornaments.
Thank you for such kind words and encouragement. I quit music for 6 years and just got back into it last year. I hope to make videos full time. I specialize in composing and arranging music on many instruments, but I do prefer solo or duets.
Thank you for subscribing! I never imagined having so much support before I have even started (only two videos out). I am working on many other pieces however I will definitely redo this video since I have gotten better at harpsichord now and I agree that there should be more ornamentation.
I am mainly waiting on purchasing instruments right now since the other instruments were lend to me. I also am working on building a Hubbard French Double from scratch but this will take a while to complete. A kind lady in PA donated this kit to me as she is 4 years back logged with her other instruments and would not be able to complete the kit.
I can't wait to hear what you think of my next piece/video! Do you have a favorite baroque piece?
I made a new version of this piece with more ornamentation. Please let me know what version you like more. :) ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
What an accomplishment. That was fantastic!
in love with this version.
I also posted a different version! Please let me know which one you prefer :)
Wonderful. Thank you!
Hello, I'm "like you", a classical musician (violinist) fascinated by baroque music. I had the chance to play this whole concerto 2 times in concerts in Japan last year, with a pianist. And it was fantastic! Although I play a baroque violin that was converted in 19th century, i always wanted to play it with harpsichord and baroque style violin (tuning, strings, bow, technique, etc...). Your solo version is very courageous! I know the feeling of playing and recording music written for an ensemble, but without the other musicians (same when I have to record for an audition to be admitted to an orchestra). Some ideas: Continue to practice, never give up, find other musicians to play with (you just need a string quartet and it will sound already "grand"), and listen (not to copy but get inspired) to my favorite version by the harpsichordist Jean Rondeau, which is not only a very good recording but also excellent to teach to let us know, as non professionals
ua-cam.com/video/XcsfDxojdV8/v-deo.html
and good luck!
I love your comments! Thank you for sharing the link, I also really enjoy the video. Have you seen my new version of this piece? ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
I wonder which video you prefer. I am going to try to find some string players or maybe edit myself playing both parts. I have never seen or played a baroque violin yet but I am fascinated and looking for one.
My deepest thanks for this recording. Insane.
I appreciate your support. What is your favorite piece?
@@broquemusician this is definitely one of my favourite Bach keyboard pieces. I’d be very interested in hearing you place some Goldberg Variations on this instrument.
My favourite moment in this piece is probably that hand-crossing passage at 2:50 - 3:20. Bach’s creativity was absolutely off the chain.
@@JacobDTulio In the future, I am trying to build "pull down harpsichord pedals" which will allow me to play the viola melody while simultaneously playing the hand-crossing section at 2:50 - 3:20. This is how organists practiced their pedal work back in Bach's era where most people couldn't afford or access an organ.
あまりの素晴らしい演奏に感動しました。リピートして聴いています。JAPANより。
Owww. Amazing. Without doubts you will sound magical in bach suites and partitas.
Such a joy watch you playing this! This is a hard piece indeed but seems you're having a lot of joy playing it!
I'm working to make videos full time. I did have so much fun playing! I really appreciate your support!!!
The third movement is twice as hard as the first. Each passage is a new challenge
Superior and riveting.
Love this!! Yes!!!!
Thank you!! I actually made a new version of this video. Please let me know which you you like better. ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.htmlsi=26ARg9dRIXrgmiet
great to hear this as a solo, thank you for posting. Looking forward to more from you :)
I intented to listen couple of seconds then skip to something else, but I listenetd till the end. This is really great performance and unique arrangement which catches bachs idea of the concert and does not try to simulate all voices which is great.
It rare people listen to the end because it is such a long first movement! I really appreciate your support. I am currently building a french double kit that was donated to me so hopefully I can make videos full time. I compose and arrange for other instruments as well. Thanks for watching my first video!
Excelente !!! Muy bonita y profunda interpretación, nunca la había escuchado en solo de clavicordio y esta increíble. Felicidades !!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bravo!!
Absolute gorgeous. Is it permited to cry. I did. Congrats young virtuose
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for your comment. ::) I actually made a new version of this piece please let me know which one you prefer! ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
Bella esecuzione. Bravo.
1:11 Beautiful
5:00 Lovely
Thanks to Broque Musician
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
3:49 My Second Favorite
5:33 My Favorite Part
Very good bro ! Beautiful performance and that Harpischord looks like new. Props to the restorer. We demand more Bach concertos and works !
I bought a harpsichord (spinet) that just came in this week. I hope to make videos full time starting this week. I will get more videos out there as soon as possible. (I need to order a replacement string and some plectra) Thank you for your support!!
Amazing brother, congratulations on the performance!
wow! i love this so much. i started playing piano and organ for almost 6 months now and until i have graduated highschool this was my goal. i got 2 and a half years left! thank you this really made me way more motivated!
That was my second time playing a harpsichord and it was a surprisingly difficult transition from piano. 2 and a half years is plenty of time! Enjoy high school while it lasts, time goes by faster after. This is forever one of my top 6 favourite pieces, please message me if you need any advice. Organ is something I've always wanted to get into (good luck on those foot pedals and fugues) but my main instrument is accordion right now because it is more accessable.
@@broquemusician btw your performance remind me a lot of glenn gould haha. I love it!!!!
I’m extremely honored that you think I even merely resemble one of my biggest idols, Glenn Gould. He didn’t play on harpsichord as much as piano but I’m obsessed with his Prelude and Fugue in F sharp minor video.
Excellent 👍
Enchanting ❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful 🤩 thank you 🙏 beautiful beautiful
I really appreciate your support! I hope to make videos full time.
Gran trabajo, gran concentración, impresionante!
wonderfull !
Great job !
Never heard this piece, was super interesting to get acquainted through your rendition.
Glad you enjoyed it! I’ll post more videos when I have access to instrument. :)
👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🇧🇷 excellent!! maravilhoso
¡muchas gracias por escuchar! 💚 ¿Cuál versión te gusta más? Tengo dos videos de esta canción.
Keep going! Very well done! That your career as a musician be always bright!
Brilliant performance! Totally wonderful fingering-technique - with these skills you have an amazing future! Thank you for posting!! Greetings from Canada!
I have to visit Canada one day! Did you see the northern lights last weekend?
Have you seen my new version of this piece? I wonder which on you prefer. Thank you for commenting!
ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
Thank you for the excellent, rare solo performance and uploading.. Awesome !
This means so much to me! I will find time to make some more videos now that I see people like you enjoy watching them. I enjoy arranging as much as performing baroque music. Thank you for your kind words.
A cascading waterfall of music. I really like baroque.
m.ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
I wonder which version you like better! Thank you for commenting!!
Bravo! 👏👏👏 I hope everyone saw your captions! We have the same favourite ornaments lol. I'm learning this on piano and you get can the orchestra accompaniment on Hal Leonard Minus One or Tomplay.
It's better without the accompaniment, which was later.
@walterbushell7029 I have a new version of this performance, I wonder which one you like better.
Bravo 👏
Beautifully interpreted
Wow, what an outstanding performance! I really like your interpretation of this masterpiece. Keep on going! :)
This is my second time seeing a harpsichord. I think I prefer it over the piano especially for baroque music. Thank you for your support! What is your favorite piece?
@@broquemusician A harpsichord suits definitly better for baroque music than a piano! :) Could you please try BWV 847, Prelude and Fugue in c minor? That's my favorite right now! :)
Excellent, emotional
Amazing performance, thank you for uploading it
Thank you for your support!
Excellent!
Amazing
Impressive!
Bach has such presence. This is the 2nd night in a row i find myself listening to this.
I hope to play harpsichord full time to post more music and a better version of this song. I’ve only played harpsichord 3 times at the time of this video and I was not able to express everything I imagine with this piece since I wasn’t use to the action. I extremely appreciate your support!
Amazing!!!!
Thanks!
Awesome! I’ve never heard it without an orchestra.
which version do you like more for this piece?
Harpsichord; I'm an absolute harpsichord fanatic!@@broquemusician
I’m going to make videos full time. I really appreciate your support!
VERY NICE
Amazing work!
Great Work

Underestimated .very well played. Very interesting sounds on this instrument.
Thank you so much! Harpsichord is definitely is an underestimated instrument. I wish I discovered it earlier.
Best harpsichord ever!!!!
Thank you so much!! I'm working extremely hard to do this full time. I learning about better editing software and microphones. Please look out for more videos soon. :) This isn't my harpsichord, a colleague allowed me to play on his instrument in his storage unit.
As an older adult learning the piano, I am in awe of your playing. All your fingers seem to be moving at once, amazing. Thank you.
Thank you for watching! What piece or technique are you learning right now? Do you have an instructor or self learning? What is your favorite composition?
@@broquemusician Thank you for asking. The piece I am learning to play is Menuett from Notenbuch for Maria Anna Mozart K5. It is my first 3/4 timing and I find it difficult so I am very much a beginner pianist. My piano teacher is great she always gives me encouragement. I have listened to you playing the accordion as well. Thank you for sharing your talent. Blessings 🙏
The harpsichord does have dynamic, just no piano-like key sensitivity. The two manuals can be coupled, many harpsichords have the lute and/or 4-foot register, and you can play with legato, staccato, and, yes, overlegato. The latter can sound very powerful on a harpsichord.
Thank you for your support. I had a few questions. Regarding the dynamic of harpsichord, would legato/staccato, count as timing or dynamic? Also, I tried searching what overlegato is and count find anything, can you please describe some more about this?
I am not a professional harpsichordist. I would love to learn as much as I can about this instrument. Thank you!
@@broquemusician It counts as articulation but plays a role in dynamic as well. If you press more keys at approximately the same time (when playing a chord or arpeggio) and you , your overall performance will be louder. Overlegato (or legatissimo) means that you hold the keys of the previous note(s) for a while before releasing them while already playing the next note. In contrast, when playing legato, you stop playing the previous note exactly when you begin playing the next.
@@broquemusicianhe guy means , that sometimes you could play it less legato, or simply lighter. I hear many times, how you hit the bottom of the keyboard. And of course it's normal , cz you only start to learn. Just saying that
harpsichord likes more non-legato, light articulation. You can play non-legato, staccato, portato , articulation diversity is very important here, since harpsichord doesn't know what dynamics is.
In some places, I would play some more freely. In Bach's time the text was like written improvisation , and sometimes you can breathe more widely to make phrasing more clear ( another aspect extremely important when u play harpsichord)
All very interesting! Thank you all! We can all appreciate the pianist desire to learn how to play the harpsichord well. Thanks for playing this wonderful and amazing composition. Well done!
Bello 🙋🏻♀️🎼
hi xD
Formidable interprétation, quelle virtuosité!
Merci.
Merci beaucoup! S'il vous plaît laissez-moi savoir quelle version vous préférez! ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.htmlsi=KTGAm96YVftWv130
Amazing performance!! Bravo!!
SOS Capo! Felicitaciones!
¡Muchas gracias!
Good job
Very well played ❤
Splendid performance !
Thanks Alan! I appreciate your support. I’m inspired to make more videos xD. Do you have a favorite piece or song genre?
Perfecto!!!❤
Wow excellent
Super cool
Thanks!! I actually have a new version of this song uploaded. Please let me know which one you prefer. :)
I absolutely love this video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the 56 hearts HAHA. I want to make videos full time. Thank you for your support.
You are a master of your craft.
I appreciate you. I really want to do this full time but cannot yet. I enjoy arranging/performing different music on underrated or historical instruments. What’s your favorite song?
@@broquemusician I dont really have a favorite song. The answer to that question always seems to change as the years go on.
Im sure you will find a way to make this a full time job. You have real talent. Just go with what your heart tells you.
Sounds amazing ❤
Thank you for watching! ❤
Congrats! Love it!!
Bravo!
Thank you so much! Have you ever tried the lute?
@@broquemusician You're welcome! I don't think I've ever had the opportunity to play one. I started out playing guitar though. 7-string bass is all I play now. The reason I had it made for me was that I wanted to be able to cover the full range of Bach's 2 and 3 Part Inventions. I found that the extra strings make the solo violin and cello works easier to play.
Holy smokes! Wonderful.
I’m glad you enjoyed the performance! Where I’m from, most people don’t enjoy classical music let alone baroque music. I will upload more videos as soon as I get a chance. What is your favorite classical or baroque piece?
😍
Thanks for watching! I made a new version of this song too. ua-cam.com/video/XpNP0cYcJPE/v-deo.html
@@broquemusician Thanks. I will watch it now.
