This was a fantastic free lecture on Schubert’s song “Erlkönig” by Dr. Jon Jeffrey Grier. Halloween was past, but it was not too late to take in a good 19th-century ghost story! Franz Schubert’s song Erlkönig, composed in 1815 on a poem by Johann von Göthe, is a tour-de-force of compositional inventiveness. The evil Erlkönig - i.e., King of the Elves - lurks in the woods and stalks children who...

Great stuff!
Sounds great . Hope to see Keith Davis at Greenville Jazz Fest June 8th.
Brilliant - Ethan must be the most versatile pianist around!
I've been to this museum several times, and nothing is ever in tune. Plus, the guy only knows one piece to play and demonstrate. The Queen Charlotte Kirkman had such a hard action and was poorly regulated.
He really has cachet.
Hello Sigal Music Museum. Great content you got there. I think all this channel needs is a little push to get things moving. I can help with that. My info is on this very channel I'm using to comment.
This was a fantastic musical and cultural experience!
I love these serendipitous experiences!
A really rich sound from that instrument.
A fantastic performance!
Where has this been all my life???
🌏😗☝️😗🤬😕🤬😕😭😕☝️😕☝️😕😭😭😕
Eye and Ear opening lecture/performance. Mr. Spears is one of those musicians who overflows with creativity, information & inspiration! Thank you for the great presentation.
This was such a fun and informative event!
You've got to see this!
Don’t sound to great
Thank you for uploading. I am a researcher/player of this kind of instruments. I would like to point out that this "Apollo-lyre" is tuned to an open chord such as AC♯EAC♯E, CEGCEG (not like normal guitar).
I was not a Schubert fan previously. Now maybe I am. The sign of a good lecture!
This was such a great workshop!
This was an incredibly entertaining and informative talk!
Wow. Amazing history.
Would love some more information about this composer.
And here's more on Nannette and the piano... th-cam.com/video/OMVlq16QFTM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XxRwzLRidIOBDo07
She was a French composer, improviser, pianist, and influential pedagogue who lived from 1764-1836 (around the same time as Beethoven). There's a fantastic documentary about her here: th-cam.com/video/Z_vCr6Totw0/w-d-xo.html (it's in French, but there are English subtitles available)
@@helenpanshin5589 you shouldn’t subtitle everything. It makes people lazy.
Insightful!
It was sooooo hard to keep the notes together! Thank you again for letting me play your instruments! It was truly a life changing experience! I still can't believe that I got to play such old instruments in such good condition! I love what you guys are doing by not keeping them in glass boxes and letting people see them how they are!
Thank you! You impressed us all!
This is fascinating!!
I visited a little while ago in October and it was so fun to play the Broadwood! I could really feel why Chopin loved them!! Thanks again to the museum!
You are very welcome. Come back and visit again!
One of the tightest ensembles I've seen in a long time!
Hermosoooo!!!
Most impressive.
This story is a lot deeper that I previously imagined!
Agreed!
Beatiful Music!! Thankyou very much for All .
Thanks for listening
I need this in my life
The whole concert was magical!
This was really fascinating! I've lived around here for decades and had no idea the musical history was so deep.
An ingenious way of making the best use of a small keyboard range.
The lecture series is a great way to delve into interesting corners of the world of music.
As a mortician I can vouches for mice eating the noses off of bodies after embalming
Where can I get one?
This harpsichord has gills!
thanks
DEO EX MACHINA, IT´S A CONTRAPTION. NOT NECESSARY TO MUSIC REALLY. JUST AN ELABORATET TOY FOR THE RICH OF THHE 18TH CANTURY.
More accurately. It is an effort by serious harpsichord makers to endow the instrument with the ability to create the dynamics necessary for the type of music which was coming into fashion at the time. Forte pianos were just gaining a foothold in their development and suitability as capable instruments. Naturally a harpsichord building firm would stick to what they knew best by developing this instrument with features that enable dynamics. Your blind cynicism is a major source of your ignorance.
THE WHOLE INSTRMENT IS SO OUT OF TUNE THAT NOTHING COULD SOUND GOOD ON IT. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO TUNE UP 30 MINUTES?
BTW, ' Harpsichord Clearing House' is the correct address for those looking for an instrument. I am now posting because there has been some ambiguity and uncertainty of this in the past.
Thanks for the education. If possible, could you tell me what type of harpsichord Domenico Scarlatti composed on? Honestly, I have been trying to get a definitive answer to this ? for a couple years now, always getting conflicting responses. I can't think of anyone better than you to ask. If you could find the time to respond it would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Robert! We checked in with our curatorial team and wanted to share some thoughts: His life from 1685 to 1757 was spent in Rome, Lisbon, and Madrid, and it was in Madrid where most of his 555 keyboard sonatas were written. He was a musician of rank in the Court as a music master to Princess Maria Barbara, who had married into the Spanish royal house. The Princess later became Queen of Spain. Scarlatti remained in the country for the remaining twenty-five years of his life and had five children there. He would have had access to any number of different harpsichords from Ruckers to the Italian tradition, and the Iberian Peninsula. He certainly never saw a Taskin, and it is unlikely he ever saw an English harpsichord of any make, though sometimes German harpsichords traveled. He MAY have seen a Cristofori or Ferrini piano, and he may have had access to one later in his writing career, but no documentation exists that fully supports this. Play Scarlatti on the harpsichord that you feel makes that a given work sounds best, and his spirit will smile on you forever. You will not be in any error if the effect is both musical and compelling!
@@SigalMusicMuseum Thank you so much for your timely and scholarly reply! You have given me several new avenues to explore. You also helped me win a bet lol. Thanks again -you guys are the best! Best wishes -Robert
This instrument is in magnificent condition. Thank you for sharing.
Don't get fooled , you will not hear the instrument . Only talk, talk and talk ! Annoying . Useless !!!!!
I too felt the description drawn out and wanted to hear it being played, even out of tune. That's accademics for you!! He needs a cameraman and some editing also. That said, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford has or had a similar harpsichord in the Hill Collection. I saw it undergoing repair in the workshop of Robert Goble, Headington, Oxford. Some years later, visiting the Ashmolean, a man just walked into the Hill gallery and played said instrument for about half an hour, then walked out again. So I was treated to the machine stop/ venetian swell and the other timbres. Quite lovely.
It was a really excellent explanation though for people starting out on this instrument and working with their own instrument.
Excuse me , for all of us who are completely stupid , Sigal music Museum is located at ........
I love Shudi & Kirkman Instruments ! I rather like the English school of Klavier makers.....
I’ve been advised against leather quills and it’s really interesting to hear that this type of historical instrument actually had them.
An amazing harpsichord!
Regulation looks really fussy.
