    Please *do* talk about it for hours :)
    Back when I still used to write music on paper, I always used a Pilot Razor Point. The first thing I would do after I opened it for the first time was split the plastic tip. That way you could get quill-like performance from it. Turn it one way and you get super-thin lines for stems and such. Then turn it halfway the other direction and you could get a nice thick line for 8th and 16th note flags and beams.
    Although I'm glad to have traded paper for perfect parts printed by the computer, I wouldn't trade the knowledge and experience of writing on paper for anything.

    I dream of engaging in a similar situation as Bach did, meeting a dedicated group of musicians twice a week for two hours in the eveneing, over coffee/cacao, nicotine. Two hours each night is probably just the right amount of time, striking a balance between productivity and focus.

    You put so much work and effort into your videos! Beautiful! And poor Gottfried Heinrich, he really didn't have a great life from what I can recall. Fascinating to see what could have been his handwriting!

      @joostwitte5546  23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      The special combination of the expressive motor skills of a five-year-old and the coherent insight into musical notation makes me suspect that Gottfried was at work here. Thank you for your response Ignatius and your humane thought.

      I started in November 2022 and took twenty two-hour lessons with a professional calligrapher. Since then I have been practicing every day, I am learning slowly but I am disciplined by nature. Calligraphy is a matter of technique and a lot of practice and good observation.

    Could you tell me about the rastrum you use? I collect and use old fountain pens for composing music and have written an article on music nibs, however am not as familiar with rastrums. The one you're using seems quite easy to use and produces healthy lines.

    • @joostwitte5546
      @joostwitte5546  23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The rastrum I use is an automatic pen, made from steel. That is historically incorrect: a late 18th century invention. But brass rastra are not perfectly suited for the job.

    “Man,” Bach wrote, with all his powers,
    “Man, o man,” Joost talks for hours,
    All about this man who knows,
    Bach, this brook from whom good flows.
    Flowing water makes us live.
    Flowing notes, Bach’s work to give,
    Kept on paper, scribed with ink,
    Helping us to feel and think.
    Think on what? God’s love, so wide,
    Christ, our savior, crucified,
    And the Holy Ghost, inspiring
    Bach to work and make, untiring.
    Witte keeps his thoughts online,
    Scribing with his quills, so fine,
    Finest insights, newly seen
    Every while, upon the screen.
    Publishing so far and wide:
    Bach’s great thoughts have never died.
    They live on, as Christ lives on,
    Music that is never gone:
    Never gone because we make
    All this music for love’s sake:
    Loving God, we work and try
    Music that will never die.

    I can't believe Bach composed a love song for Apollo. Apollo is said to be the angel of the bottomless pit. Apollo isn't a "good guy" at all. Apollo means "The Destroyer". He's said to be the being who will lead an army against Jesus and stuff in The Judgment Day/Apocalipse/Revelations.
    "They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon." Revelation 9:11.
    I don't understand why Bach partook in such work. I did think all of his work was dedicated to the christian God. I would have never imagined that he composed for other gods as well... This is quite a shock to me. I was not expecting this.

    • @joostwitte5546

      I am sorry it's so disturbing. Phoebus aka Apollo finds himself in a morally difficult position because he accidentally killed Hyacinthus.

      Yes, I can imagine the uncanny valley evokes horror. Hopefully the paintings on Greek pottery have provided some counterweight to this.
