    Great info! Gigue--more like :"Jeeg". Partita: "Par-tee-ta". You can google "pronounce ______" to hear accurate pronunciation. Thanks for the work you've put into this, it's a great service to music learners.

    Also: "passe pied" is POSS pee-YAY 😉 and "miroir" is kind of like mee-HWAHR or meer-HWAHR (lol the vowels are fun to describe in English, and the r-sounds are their own whole thing!)

    Great job. Really helps students to have a perspective on the pieces they learn as beginners. How they pronounce partita is certainly less important than being able to recognize the genra of a piece and being able to play the instrument. I am in my 4th year of piano study, adult student, and think your channel excellent. Thank you for taking the time to make the videos.

    Passepied is pronounced roughly 'passeh-pee-yay' with a very light 'y' at the end and the 'd' essentially silent. (it is not derived from 'pie' or any other dessert or pastry).

    @sdka9922 6 років тому

    There are 3 main types of gigue in Bach's music. The French Gigue is in 6/4 or 6/8 compound time with a typical lilting rythm. The other 2 types are a) in 12/8 or 6/8 with ternary structure below pulse level b)in 3/8 or 6/8 with ternary structure at pulse level. French composers also used quite often this last type.

  • @Advent22mix
    @Advent22mix 7 років тому +3

    Excellent video.
    Just to cover the pronunciation of the names as you pointed out (though I wouldn't worry too much about it).
    partita = pärˈtēdə (par-tee-da)
    allemande = ˈaləˌmand (al-e-mand, soft a as in mama)
    courante = ko͝oˈränt (koo as in coo coo crazy, and again a soft a)
    sarabande = sarah-band (pretty simple)
    gigue = ZHēɡ (similar to jig but the first g sounds like the s in pleasure, the i sounds like ee in seed, and the second g as in guy)
    gavotte = ɡəˈvät (almost like someone is saying give-ought really fast and slurring it together)
    bourrée = boo like a ghost and rée as in purée
    passepied = päsˈpyā (sounds like pass-pee-ay, pied being french for foot)
    rigaudon = this one I couldn't tell ya. I feel like I'm guessing every time I say it.
    As an aside my personal favourite courante is from Bach's Partita no. 1, BWV 825. I always thought the little quote from the wiki article on the courante described it well.
    "chiefly characterized by the passion or mood of sweet expectation. For there is something heartfelt, something longing and also gratifying, in this melody: clearly music on which hopes are built."~Johann Mattheson

    The second beat of the saraband is not so much emphasized as it is elongated, syncopating the third pulse and giving eventually a feminime termination. It usually occur every other measure though there are many exceptions.

    Looking through Bach’s I always come across something interesting like this. Crazy how many genres of things they had in baroque times with seemingly changing out one instrument or something like that. It’s pretty confusing. I guess this like the bachata compared to salsa to someone who doesn’t know the difference

Do you think you could do another "Watch Me Practice" in the description you said it was a doable piece for you. I think it would be interesting to see one with a more challenging piece for you so we can see how to work through problems when we're working on challenging pieces.

  • @Dericulus
    @Dericulus 7 років тому +4

    Hi. Love your videos so far and I really like your explanation of the Baroque dance suite. But you do mispronounce some of them. I hope I can help a little bit:
    Sarabande: (Sah-rah-bahnd), not so much (Sarah-band)
    Gigue: Hear many times pronounced by pianists like Andras Schiff, a Hungarian and German speaker, as more like (zheeg). Hard to find the phonetic spelling of the sound, but you can hear him pronounce it.
    Passepied: I'm pretty sure it's a French dance, and it looks a lot like it means roughly "pass foot". So, I imagine it sounds someting along the lines of (pass-e-pyeh), if I had to use the Spanish cognate "pie" (pyeh) for "foot" to figure "pied" in French sounds similar,. May be off on this one, though.
    Please keep doing your thing. :)

    • @CadenzaPiano
      @CadenzaPiano 7 років тому

      I'm a native French speaker. I don't know the origins of these names, but "passepied" looks like a porte-manteau word composed of "passe" from the verb "passer" = to pass and "pied" which means "foot" and is pronounced "pié", which would be something like "pee-ay" in English phonetic.

    • @Dericulus
      @Dericulus 7 років тому +1

      Wow. So I was really close, then. I'm a little impressed with myself, since I don't speak French at all.
      Thank you. I'm glad a native speaker took the time to set it right for us. I feel bad or rude when I mispronounce words or names or titles from other languages in music, so now I can proudly say "passepied" when it comes up. lol
      Really appreciate it. :)

    • @sdka9922
      @sdka9922 6 років тому

      The Passepied is similar to a Menuet with one beat per measure in 3/4, faster tempo and starting with an offbeat.

      The Fitzwilliam virginal book? There is a lot of keyboard music (organ, virginal, ...), however sadly the renaissance tends to be neglected by most performers and listeners. And many of the composers who wrote for keyboard instruments are mainly known as vocal composers. Sweelinck and Frescobaldi are probably the only two who are well known for their keyboard works.

  • @ArturKorotin

    • @thereyougoagain1280
      @thereyougoagain1280 4 роки тому

      It’s standard, it has to do with the way the dance itself works. If you hear some rhythmic character to a dance piece, it’s generally fairly safe to assume that it’s from the dance itself.

  • @afonsoserro4437
    @afonsoserro4437 5 років тому

    Great video, but I was looking for the rythms of each dance.

  •  2 роки тому

    The first G in Gigue is a soft one, like George, or if you want it to sound more French, then it's like the G in giraffe. The second one is a hard G, like God. "ue" is silent. A related English dance is called the Jig and this is how you can pronounce "Gigue", too.
    "Allemande" is pronounced similarly to the English word "almond". "Courante" is pronounced similarly to the Islamic holy book. When you say that the Allemande was very "serious" and "not fun", that's not true at all. A better way to describe it is "formal", but the dance itself is quite "jumpy" and a lot of steps involve getting on your toes, up and down.
    The Minuet was very popular in the late 18th century, it's the only Baroque dance that survived into the Classical period. It was danced all the time, at all upper class social gatherings. Every little girl knew how to dance it and dreamt of attending these aristocratic parties (even if she was not of aristocratic birth).
    "Partita" is not pronounced "partisha", just simply par-ti-ta.
    One thing that this video completely neglects is the peculiarities of the dance steps, characteristic of these dances. Unfortunately not many modern musicians know these, so they perform the dances completely wrong, pretty much copying other musicians who also do not know these things. While these dances were often used as background music for social gatherings, it was always at least in principle possible to dance to them and it's necessary to perform them that way. Look up "Introduction to Baroque Dance" to learn more. For someone performing a Baroque suite, it important to at least be familiar with the dance steps. For example, the Minuet, even though it is notated in 3/4, it ought to be played like it is 6/4, because it was a six step dance -- with accented first beat of every odd-numbered measure.

  • @thomasellis8586
    @thomasellis8586 2 роки тому

    Lovely lesson here, but your pronunciation needs work. "Gigue," a French version of the English word "Jig" is proounced with a soft, vocalized "ZH-" sound, not a hard, palatal "G" So it would be more like "Zhig," not "Gig." And Passepied is French for "footstep" ("pied" is "foot" in French), prounounced "pyeh" (silent "D") not "Pied" as in "Pied Piper." But otherwise, keep up the good work...

  • @comtaar2245

    Is it true what you are saying about dances in the baroque era? As far as I know the first half of the 18th century was very much a time of dances. There were still many courts in Europe at that time. And if you cannot pronounce words from different languages, how can we even trust that you know what you are talking about. You do not seem to understand what a passepied is even.

    Many and repetitively mispronouncing important musical terms that are the subjects of this video makes the speaker appear pedestrian, uneducated eventhough there is some good information here. Mispronouncing so many terms that are not difficult for an English speaker to say makes the viewer wonder whether you've had the proper music training because you would have heard these terms spoken correctly from your teacher or professor. It would do the world a favor to re-record this video with the pronunciation corrected. Take the time to learn the proper pronunciation from plenty of other videos that have these terms spoken correctly or contact a music school and I'm willing to bet you'll start to get many more likes and subscribers.
