One of the very few videos on extended techniques that clearly explain what extended techniques there are, what do they sound like, and how to notate them. 10/10
This is excellent. The notation is described, the fingerings and pedaling are shown, and the sound is provided. I don't mind reading the explanation - plenty of time is provided to read the text. Thank you.
R2 STUDIO Well if you play piano then eventually you should pick up playing the harp fairly quickly. Believe it or not a lot of harpists including myself started out on piano/keys :)
A very nice and to the point video! Really enjoyed, would indeed be nice to have instructions spoken out tho, just makes life easier. And for those who were looking for something else, here's a resource that i find particularly useful for my harp concerto in progress: sites.siba.fi/web/harpnotation/manual . It is an amazing collection of notation and extended techniques, that, i believe, was made as a PhD research (don't quote me on that), but it is very extensive.
it would have been nice to have someone speaking as oppose to having to read the instructions, and the video demonstrations last more than a few seconds
The best videos I've seen were of a violinist. He talked to the point (no staging fluff), and showed a muted video to see a close-up of the bowing action, string vibration, etc. It gave a clear sense of the mechanical action first. Then he demonstrated the technique like these harp videos. After each one, he then had a 10 second clip of him playing that technique in a musical context, where you could see how the technique could be manipulated in the performance. I compose, but don't play strings or harp (piano, winds, and brass are my origins). So for me, these videos are invaluable. But I agree they could be better. That said, for harp techniques this is the best quality video I've seen so far.
Because its Italian. And its in plural - the plural of glissando is glissandi. For (more of less) uncommon vocabulary like this (glissando), users have abundant right to use the form in its original plural, instead of the english plural. If some one says like datas, corpuses, I bet you would laugh at him/her so hard. Because, by default, we assume each other having some basic knowledge in latin! The same applies to this.

Thank you very much for showing each extended technique in detail!
Perhaps the most thorough video on harp techniques I've ever seen, great job! Thanks!
Thank you! These are awesome demonstrations for composers!
This is excellent. The notation is described, the fingerings and pedaling are shown, and the sound is provided. I don't mind reading the explanation - plenty of time is provided to read the text. Thank you.
Thank you so much! The best examples are those with music score. These help me a lot as a composer
Very cool, and nicely-done!
This is amazing. Thank you so much for this.
Excellent thank you
i like this video. it is helpful
4:35 had me shaking like a loony toons character after a bonk to the head. The thought of doing that to my harp, to ANY harp is unsettling.
Thank you very much!
Gracias
Excellent Thanks Very Much
Very useful!
Very helpful video! Thanks!
thank you very very much
Thanks so much for that!
Great!!!
6:02 is a tremolo, not a trill. Trills are more than one note
it sounds as a tremolo. But quite different. Trill with B and Cb can be called as a trill.
The muffles seem confusing. How does one tell the difference between a muffle and a coda?
Brent Breault i think the muffle is below the staff and the coda is above the staff
I dont play harp but i still lve the harp i play the piano 😊

The videos are too short and, more often than not, they freeze, or the sound desynchronizes with the picture.

* Glissando
SMH
😤 Why did you😭 call it 😱 Glissandi???
My autocorrect is bad but it would never finalise that...
Because glissando is an Italian word, it's plural is actually glisandi. The same thing applies with concerto, its plural is concerti.
Because its Italian. And its in plural - the plural of glissando is glissandi.
For (more of less) uncommon vocabulary like this (glissando), users have abundant right to use the form in its original plural, instead of the english plural.

Well not exactly the same, because everyone learns latin but not everyone learns italian.
Thank you very much !!!
