W.A. Mozart Countrydance N°3 (KV267) on Uilleann Pipes
A little throw-back to my "Final Performance" which didn't happen 2 years ago. ;)
I arranged this piece by W.A. Mozart for the Uilleann pipes after re-discvoering it in 2019. Even though composed for chamber orchestra, I first heard it played by Austrian Bagpiper and my very first teacher on german renaissance bagpipes, Sepp Pichler from Graz.
I hope you enjoy.

"The Upsides of Lockdown" Part 2: J.S. Bach - Bourée in Em - On Uilleann Pipes! Since lockdown started almost a year ago, I've been working on "strange" things for the pipes - first ad foremost on a few settings of classical pieces for the pipes. I got especially interested in one composer: Johann Sebastian Bach. Since I started working on some of his compositions, I've also discovered other pi...

Roy's hands reminds me much on The old man rocking the cradle, as Leo Rowsome played on Ri na bpiobairi. Fantastic Version here!
Wizardry !
Excellent, cela révèle toute les possibilités et la complexité de cet instrument. Merci.
Dude this was EXCELLENT. Thank you for doing it. I've always wanted to hear someone to do display such baroque counterpoints on the uilleann pipes.
Absolument magnifique, bravo et merci
Incroyable, je suis très impressionné par votre technique et ce que vous avez joué. Bravo, bravo et encore bravo.
Whoa! I can't believe you can do all of those things at once and make music! Incredible! ❤
Mitico 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Seeehr schöner Vortrag!Daran hätte auch Mozart seinen Spaß gehabt.
Bach fan, or Tull? Lol.
Servus Simon! Hey, was du da machst ist wirklich wirklich gut. Du zeigst "Dinge auf den Regulatoren", die mich zum Staunen bringen. Ich wusste gar nicht, dass sowas geht. Was für eine tolle Idee! Wie souverän dieser Run mit dem Handballen daherkommt.. Klasse!
WOW! Nice regulator action there brother! Tuning is amazing, the chord of the chanter with the drone notes was fabulous!
Would love to see Jethro Tull doing this
😮 Bravo 👏 !
Wow! Never heard anything like this on the Uillean pipes. What an interpretation and skill! Can imagine a duet with a church pipe organ.
This actually is very reminiscent of an ancient small pipe organ... This is so amazing and beautiful... thank you for your effort and creativity in bringing this about!
Absolutely brilliant
What a great discovering. Really good.
Amazing. That is mastering the uileann pipes, man. Cromatic folk instruments are necessary
AMAZING...the arrangements and the way you use the regulators... amazing! Bravo!
Ah, yes, the Bachpipes...
Outstanding
Super player
Brilliant
Yes, Yes, Yes, beautiful
Maith thu!👍👍
Amazing and inspiring!
Bravo! Some very nifty regulator acrobatics there.
I LOVE IT <3
Very interesting - about 2 years later, I happened to be thinking about how Bach might sound / work on pipes (of various sorts) as well. And, thinking about the same factors - how workable it might be considering the drones. Very clever! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing
How FUN !!!!
Would be so cool to see more adaptations of Bach, Mozart, etc on the Uilleann pipes. I'm sure its not easy though. Sure loved your Bourree in E Minor .
Hi Clifford! Thanks for your comment! There actually is more of this: I just released a complete album of classical music on the Uilleann Pipes about a month ago! You can get it here: www.simonpfisterer.com/shop
Good work sir !!!
What you are doing here is ridiculous and just amazing !!! I just can't stop listening. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this :) Excellent.... Best Regards from Cowboy Country USA :)
Excellent
Mighty stuff Simon..
Awesome Uilleann piping Simon! I want to play like you play.
Great idea; bravo!
PS, is that a Cillian O’ Briain set? Possibly Gordon Galloway?
The Chanter was made by Cillian, the rest of the set is by Richard Patkos from Hungary, but it's a copy of Cillian's pipes. So, well spotted!
Easily one of the most impressive pieces of Uilleann piping I have ever heard. The final regulator and chanter work truly make it sound as though Mozart himself was conducting the piece. I could not tell, but what extra keys on the chanter do you use for the piece? Beautiful
Thanks very much for your lovely comments! For this piece, the only extra key I needed is Bb.
Well done Simon
What pipes and key?
That reminds me of the musette de cour, a set of pipes not too different from the uilleann pipes
Úallfgan Amadeas mHósarth
The versatility of the Uilleann pipes is boundless 😀
This works very well!
Mad as a bucket of frogs 😂 fun stuff keep it up 👍
Fantastic. If only we were born with three hands.
outstanding use of the wrist valve thingies whose name i can't remember right now
Regulators
Brilliant!
