- A quick recording last night on my spinet, of a set of variations on Thomas Arne's tune from 1740. This arrangement was published in 1794. ****** Please Like, Share and Subscribe ******
The instrument is a 2009 copy by Stephen Robinson of the Thomas Hitchcock spinet in the Russell Collection in Edinburgh. I was inspired to learn this after hearing a CD recording of Timothy Roberts playing the same piece, on a friend's original Haxby spinet.
There doesn't seem to be much information anywhere about Casson - all I can find is in the CD sleeve notes which indicate: "Casson also wrote music for the traditionally aristocratic harp, and it may well be that he was one of London's numerous immigrants from post-revolutionary France".
The score (as well as lots of other interesting music), is available from NotAmos performing editions: www.notamos.co...
Exquisite! Splendid version! Love your spinet, you are very talented.
Thank you - it is a fun piece!
best harpsichord version of this song
Lovely! Where might I come by the score for this gem?
Hi Philip. There is a link to the scores for this and other gems in the description. Have fun!
An enlightning piece, very well played on this beautiful spinet. Thanks!
Very kind of you to say! I really like the piece. Casson seems to have done a few arrangements. The NotAmos website is a good source for unusual music. I will have another look at your channel when I get a minute too.
I didn’t realise I wasn’t subscribed! An oversight. I have just added your channel to my subscriptions.
@@chrissansum No problem, no obligation there ;)
@@RalphLooij I am really enjoying your channel! Very inspiring. Do you use a large pedal board, or is it something more compact, like the keyboard? I used to play Hammond Organs but all of them were a bit bulky. I never played pedals, but I can see having a home setup like yours would be a great way to learn to play church organ. The sounds are incredible.
@@chrissansum full pedal. You play harpsichord very well, so organ should be no problem for you.
