Classical Mandolin Bach’s D minor Ciaccona , S. 1004

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ย. 2021
- This is the Ciaccona movement of Bach's D minor Partita No. 2 for solo violin. I have had so much fun learning this beautiful, expressive piece over the summer! The mandolin I am playing is a Mazzaccara Lucia. This was recorded on September 1, 2021
I have a more recent recording of the Ciaccona here:
• Classical Mandolin: Ci... - เพลง
The passage starting around 13:03 is one of my favourites in all of music and it's so perfect on mandolin
I've stumbled through this sight-reading on mandolin a few times over the years, and during such times I've often wondered: "But what would this sound like if someone played it well?"
Now I know. Good job, mandolinist.
Thank you so much :) You are very kind!
This piece is beautiful on mandolin. Such a vocal tone and style. Bravo. This is a masterpiece.
I love this piece, too! Thank you!
BEAUTIFUL !
Beautifull
beautiful!!!
It sounds really good! Thanks for publishing it!!
wonderful
Beautiful!
I feel gobsmacked by that. Amazing job.
Always amazes me to see how many instruments the Chaconne has been transcribed to. Its not an easy piece to play on any of them either. Well done at such a young age. You have promising future ahead.
Thank you for your kind words. This is my first recording of it. I have a couple other more recent recordings of it on my channel also. You are correct, it is played on so many instruments!
Beautiful. ❤
Thank you!
A couper le souffle , j'en tout étourdi ! Mille fois merci .
Thanks for sharing. The mandolin is an awesome ensemble instrument but now I know you can enjoy it all by itself!
Wonderful job!! Loved hearing this!
Thanks for listening!
I love the lilting way you performed this.
c'est si beau ! Merci Bach et merci Princess .🥲
Great display of pick stroke theory defining note values!
I've played this on violin - beautiful piece and thankyou for this Mandolin rendition 👌👍💖
I love the sound of the mandolin i loved the movie the godfather where i first heard the mandolin and loved it ever since well played❤❤❤👍
Outstanding.
Thank you so much!
Incredible. Fantastic piece, performed beautifully.
Thank you! I love playing this piece!
Fantastic. The more I hear Bach on these neapolitan bowl-back mandolins the more I'm starting to like them. I still side with only F-style when the chips are down. I'm just so accustomed to that sound, resonance, and attack, but these bowl-backs are so unique with such a distinct unmistakable midrange with just a slight transient low-end.
Well played too, well played.

Thank you! There really are so many different tones and sounds of mandolins. Each model with it's own beauty of sound!
@@mandolinprincess3382 Indeed. And your playing too, it's remarkable and shows your discipline of practice. Your picking and fingering sound very accurate. Attack, dynamics, all very good. You really play Bach well.
When practicing a Bach piece to accomplish the expression and ornamentation without making it sound "mechanical" it's really NOT easy! ESPECIALLY on a mandolin.

Beautiful
Thank you! I love the Ciaccona. I have a more recent recording: th-cam.com/video/EKBNDowuLWs/w-d-xo.html
Love it!
This is a special piece of music. Bach was genius!
Amazing performance!
I can't wait to hear you play in person again! Fabulous job!
Thank you so much!❤
Awesome. I would have thought it possible.
This is indeed a magnificent and affecting performance of what is fairly described as the single greatest instrumental movement ever written. You are terrific; can't wait to check out what else you have posted. Bravissima!
Wow, thank you!
incredible
Thank you!
Killing it!
Thank you!
This is fantastic!
Thank you!
Absolutely sublime! The mandolin lends itself beautifully to this piece (in your talented hands, of course).
Thank you!
Very pretty! I am just learning mandolin, and think these kinds of pieces really showcase the instrument!
Excelente, parabéns
Great effort, thank you. Keep at it and you’ll get there.
Bravo 👏
Wonderfull
Wow! 🤩🤩🤩 - Great job!!! This piece is just sublime. Bravo and thank you for these 14 minutes and 41 seconds of musical journey 🙏
Incredible dedication to your art. Beautifully played with many really lovely moments. Bravo 👏 👏👏
Thank you very much!
Deep and sweet! TA!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Brava!
Wow… I’ve done the 1st, 3rd and 4th movements of this - haven’t dared to take this one on yet. I’m starting today! This was spectacular!!! I’m so glad I’ve discovered your work! And that mandolin of yours - truly wonderful instrument.
I just listened to this reading through the score and I’ve just learned a lot too! With the greatest sincerity - Thank you so much for posting this!
Thank you so much!
Honestly, I have a better recording of the Chaconne at th-cam.com/video/ycDl0dj1P6M/w-d-xo.html
Excelente te felicito buen arreglo
Beautiful performance. You are amazing
Thank you!
That was awesome! Great job.
Thank you!
Técnicas formidáveis.
Bravo!! You have to be very brave to play a piece like this on mandolin and bring out all the nuances. YOU MAKE MAGIC !!!
Congrats! Really nice on mandolin. Bach sounds great on everything.
I love the way the Ciaccona sounds on mandolin, too. Thank you!
Woow people don't understand how difficult this is to play! You did absolutely amazing 😍😍😍
Thank you so much!!
Yea :) but we string players can understand much more, somehow. while she herself mentioned it as a fun !!! as in description written: "I have had so much fun learning this beautiful, expressive piece over the summer"
Millions of the same age girls around the globe 🌐have a wish like "I wish I was able to play such a divine instrument or piece ..." of course almost all of them are capable or potentially capable for it, if and only if they consistently, regularly and diligently spend their time hard practicing on schedule, alone in the corner of the room, when other teenage girls are having fun with their friends!
So, well done girl, best warm wishes by a guitarist from Tehran, Iran.
Very well interpretation! I have to study it on my barock-violin!
Wow, hard to fathom playing something so complex without referencing printed music. Amazing job!
Thank you! Listening to the music really helps me to remember it!🎵
@@mandolinprincess3382 Your love for it shines through.
Those of us who play by ear can't understand why music sheets are required. We do however make slight imperfections in delivery but most aren't fatal.
So well played, all from memory and not one of the easier pieces from Herrn Bach.
Thank you! I love the Ciaccona!
Very nice - the tone of the instrument has a very old world sound, almost fragile but very expressive.
Thank you!
just subbed, hope to see much more
Minunat.
Very good. You play Very Well. It moves me.
Thank you!
Bravissima.
Thank you!
Nice!!!!
Thank you!
Awesome performance. I find Bach much more interesting on mandolin than violin - plucked strings bring out something different in the work than bowed strings. Where’s you next performance?
Thank you! I love playing violin repertoire on mandolin! I'll be posting more videos soon!
Bravissima! One day I will play mandolin just like you! ;)
Thank you so much! Good luck on your mandolin adventures!
I saw the thumbnail and thought "hell no she's not playing a 15 minute piece sitting like this"
Happy to see I was right 😂
Молодец!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
❤
The most beautiful musical piece ever composed, performed by a princess who will become a queen in due time. 🌱
Very good!! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙂
I use D tuning for Mando octo and fiddle or D A E B.Open or slaughtered headstock.Wish I could buy a mandolin like this one,I like to cut into a single body a dulcimer and mandolin to try and create a harp mandolin,say 5 basses.I could listen to a classical master like this all day.Old Chris a retired fiddler of Albuquerque NM
Thank you! That would be incredible to make a harp mandolin. Good luck with your instrument-making!
Beautifully performance. You have inspired me to study this as well. Can you share the type of plectrum you are using for this? Thickness? Thank you in advance.
Thank you for your kind words. My pick is a German Wolle pick that was ordered from the Trekel company in Germany. Unfortunately, I have a hard time finding them anymore. This is my favorite pick because it does not produce a "clicking" sound. The current picks on the website look slightly different from the ones I have now. My online teacher Caterina Lichtenberg uses these picks.

👋👋👋
Great rendition! That's an interesting mandolin. Is the extended fretboard useful?
Thank you! I have yet to use the VERY top frets for an actual piece of music, but they definitely are useful. (aside from the fact that they are harder to grab)
Just found your channel today...you play well and the bowlback sounds so sweet. I just got a bowlback mandolin with nylgut strings and am in month one on learning it. Should be a fun but long journey. 😂 How long have you been playing? I note a smoother and more expressive playing from your first video to this one, btw.
Bueno
Beautiful! You have a new subscriber here. Can I ask for the scale length of your mandolin and fretboard width at first and 10th fret? I looks like a Calace style.
Thank you! I will be sure to measure it when I practice. That is an interesting question.
Thank you so much for a beautiful performance. Please may I ask, what strings do you use? From a new subscriber in England, David. Xxx
Hi David, I am using Dogal Calace RW92B Dolce on this mandolin. I have ordered these from Strings By Mail
hoow on earth can you afford a mandolin like that !
This mandolin has a bit of a story behind it. My wonderful mandolin teacher, Ted very generously gave me this beautiful instrument. It was bought used (originally made in Italy). I play it mostly every day, and it brings me so much joy!
È um grande desafio tocar essa música no bandolin
Oh, how long have you been studying the mandolin so far?
And when is best to start?
The best time to start is as soon as you can 😊
Yesterday
I played violin for 8 years first, but had to switch to mandolin due to a bone disorder with my collarbone. I have been studying mandolin for about 4 years since about age 11. At the beginning, my hands were a little too small for a regular-scale mandolin, and I had a violin scale model from the Big Muddy Mandolin Company. My hands got bigger, and later it was comfortable for me to play a normal-sized mandolin. In my opinion, someone older Elementary School can start with mandolin (it depends on the size of the hands), but with someone younger, a small violin might work better (while teaching the same fingering and intervals).
@@mandolinprincess3382 thank you so much for your good answer. You play is very good, it seems that you are an Aspie 😊
Nothing like plucked strings for clarity.
If you can do it on mandolin you can do it on Violin, great job!
Thank you! I love the way it sounds on violin too! I have also heard it on guitar.
Why would you want to play it on a violin when it sounds like this on a mandolin??
@@UT1338 because its made for violin
A beautiful sound. How come the best players always have long piano fingers? 😐
Thank you! Sometimes I wish I had longer fingers... :)
@@mandolinprincess3382You have longer fingers than I do as a man.
I get the feeling you listen to Hilary Hahn
i would pay for a tab pdf of this... you know , if you re ever bored and feel like transcribing it :P
I'll keep that in mind :) Thanks!
@@mandolinprincess3382 you know i think there might be apps that do it now, going to look into it
@@jonathanlazaro2021 I found this book. It is arranged for mandolin, and also has tabs! www.melbay.com/Products/30460/bachs-sonatas-and-partitas-for-solo-violin-arranged-for-mandolin.aspx
There is also an app on melodyscanner.com/ that might help.
@@mandolinprincess3382 omg youre the best!
Bravissima. Se vuoi ho della musica per te 😀
Thank you!
Ciao, mi farebbe piacere. Come te la invio?
J adore la mandoline, très belle interprétation, mais je préfère Bach interprété au violoncelle ❤
Your arpeggios were excellent.
Very dramatic playing.
Apparently Bach wrote this to mourn the passing of his wife.
Yes, this piece has quite a history for Bach. Thank you for your kind words!
It sounds fuller on guitar. On mandolin it sounds like someone humming instead of singing.
