I cannot tell you how much immense pleasure it gives me to hear this instrument.
Just the booming clear bass notes are incredible, great recording.
Agreed, and how much better to hear the music of Bach on it.
I am blown away! Fabulous! Thanks mr. Karosi!
Amazing
Thumbs down! Because I am a sour person who cannot appreciate the pleasure of instruments, only with exception my own screeching attempts at singing. Kthnxbye
@@afiqh9909 Shame on you.
Anyone else here because the YT algorithm got it right? Such joy when it does.
For example me.
YT is pretty good IF you feed it enough samples. I has this suggestion after watching several fugues (E Power Bigg Toccata & Fugue, Fugue in G (Moth grst * Little, and the 2 part inventions. With some blues in between.
A returning visitor here...
I think you enjoy it.
I searched it, wondering how it sounded from that hurricane Barbara episode in The Simpsons.
Let me remind you that this is basically 3 stacked clavicords on different staves, and I love it
Thanks. I wondered if this is considered 1 or 3 instruments. Looks 3 to me.
Also, performance is excellent. Those feet are busy. Awesome to hear this on an old music technology. Really fits.
pipe organ is an expensive instrument and takes quite a bit of space his version looks like a great option
brilliant
Once upon a time there were three clavichords -- a Mama Clavichord, a Papa Pedal Clavichord, and an itty bitty Baby Clavichord -- and they all lived in a house in the city.
Someone get Xzibit a powdered wig! "I heard you liked clavichords on your clavichords!"
Dear Listener: Do not let the novelty of the instrument overshadow the fact that you have just heard a supremely great performance by a supremely great artist of a supremely great work by a supremely great composer. Bask in the performer’s rhythmic security, combined with an incredible sensitivity to the expressive use of agogic accent and line. I am speechless.
0:25 Adagio - Vivace
3:13 Andante
8:30 Un poco allegro
I think I will write a classical song about the Italian people and call it...Disagio.
@@foreverseethe That's not very nice :)
A treat! Thank you for the wonderful performance.
Whoa Nahre you’ve been here 😳
Nahre :O
Hi
This is incredible! I’m sure Bach himself would be delighted with your performance.
The slow movement of this piece is one of Bach's simplest, yet one of his most beautiful.
I keep coming back to this recording. It's not often Bach is played this sensitively. You use trilling and bebung in such a delicate and sparse way, it moves me to tears. Thank you.
Im always impressed by Bach. How could he create so many masterpieces! And in each work is polyphony, polyphony...
Same here, his pieces are true works of genius and the polyphony, counterpoint even in some cases, never stops amazing me.
Wonderful. Baroque music, and we, are indeed fortunate to have you and your videos around!
I'm having trouble with hand independence, while this guy plays 4 melodies with all his members
It's 3 melodies. That's why it's called "Trio sonata".
Organs are like mini chamber ensembles compiled into a single instrument
Good ol muscle memory will do the trick eventually
Get me on that thing and I'll play a fifth melody
I wish!!
Слушаю 100 раз, это аутентично 100%. Божественное исполнение🙏
This is one of the most beautiful triosonatas !! Esp Part 3. Amazing performance!
Wow, what a unique timbre. I don’t think I’ve ever heard an acoustic pedal clavichord. I love the vibrato. Your technique is impressive but your musicality is more so. This is just what I needed. Cooped up in the house convalescing from recent illness.
The first mov. of BWV 528 is after Cantata BWV 76 . Thanks to Johann Sebastian and to you for this wonderful rendering.
I'LL NEVER KNOW BACH BUT THANKS TO THIS I THINK I KNOW WHAT HIS MUSIC WAS LIKE. IT'S WONDERFUL. IT MOVES ME TO TEARS. THANK YOU.
I have seen many things keyboardwise in my 66 years, but this is spectacularly new. A three tier clavichord system playing Bach. I have never heard of this set up ever, and I must ask the question, is this historically accurate? It doesn't matter if it isn't because the logic behind it is wonderfully obvious. The playing is magical, and the overall sound is well worthy of an Album of CD music. Thank you so much. Wonderful. Dave in Yorkshire, England.
The clavichord was a portable study instrument, a pedal clavichord is a total nonsense from a conceptual point of view, and no pedal clavichord ever existed in ancient times. Still, super cool to see and listen!
It is indeed historically accurate; they did exist and at least one from 1760 still exists, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedal_clavichord
And this three-stacked instrument gives the benefits of new voices, but no coupling...
I can't comment on the historical use of pedal clavichords, but organists would practice at home on clavichords or harpsichords.
@@focaimperiale1940 NO: en los catálogos de bienes establacidos por los notarios a la muerte del maestro figura un ""clave" (se refiere sin duda a un clavicordio, sin duda, y no a un clavicémbalo) de pedal" Seguramente el maestro lo usaba para componer en el seno de su hogar
I just played this piece on the organ after a two-year break. This is one of my favorite organ pieces, If not the favorite one, and it is as much joyful to play as it is to listen.
This is a real man's instrument.
Incredible, Harry!!! 2000 points to Griffindor.
Lol
Brazilians...
Hahaha 🇧🇷
Harry wishes 🤣🤣
Didn't know Liszt was a professor at Hogwarts.
I'm impressed beyond words. Such elaborate footwork on an instrument that doesn't only have an expressive keyboard, but also allows for articulations that aren't possible on a piano. To be so attentive to dynamics, whilst your feet are tap dancing about... I didn't think that was possible.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your talent, skills, and musicality. I grew up nourished in the music of Bach, whom I much preferred to any other composer from childhood to my ....well...to my mid 20’s when I began making headway as a pianist. Thanks and know that I will watch and listen to this often. WLCII.
Crazy level of dexterity! Nice playing!
On this wonderful instrument, the unity in rhythm, phrasing, complimentary voice-leading and the flow of time, their organic intertwinedness... it is beautifuly shown , also by your playing! Congratulations and thank you for the uplifting performance.
I really love the vibrato effect on the clavichord.
It brings even more life into the music.
Nagyon élvezetes volt látni és hallani egy ilyen csodálatos hangszert!
The best music never dies...
Not just an alternative practice instrument to an organ but it is truly a very musical instrument too. Thank you Balint for this discovery.
In the baroque times it was a practice instrument, because one person can play on it. When you would play an organ, you need a person to work with the bellows, because in the eighteenth century the organs did not have electrical blowers.
@@RoelSikkema Also, I can imagine churches being quite cold in winter. Another reason to want to practice at home.
... and one thing to consider is that the pedal keys are analogously pressure | impulse sensitive, too (as for controlling feet and legs). other than on an organ where operating any key - how much transmission there ever be - would quasi digitally open | let close again a valve in principle, with characteristics of what the pipe will sound virtually invariable (I'm aware of some touch-related technicalities that would in particular address psycho-acoustic perception of dynamical variation - similar to harpsichord articulative means).
extremely talented player--the only thing left is to learn how to turn pages with one's face
What a beautiful instrument, giving a superb impression of how a clavichord of Bach would have looked when new or near-new. The wooden surfaces look beautiful.
Beautiful! Never saw played with the feet before. Quite a balancing act. Thank you for dedicating yourself to this musical art! Took me back to an ancient church.
Bach's favorite instrument!
Approved by J. S. Bach.
@Truth God: Yes and I am a DEVOUT Atheist!
This is a perfect example of TH-cam AI sending things that it knows I can’t help but have on repeat. I would have not searched up JS Bach clavichord, but now I’m hooked. It’s like candy. Great show Balint Karosi. You’re my new favorite artist.
Ancient sounds bring me unique world , thank you !
Delightful display of delicate sounds on hard-to-handle instruments. Bravo !
Not being a classical piano, organ or harpsichord player but having known several, I definitely appreciate the majesty of this performance and that clavichord. A mentor of mine who once demonstrated a pedal harpsichord for me at the Metropolitan Museum of Art would definitely have respected and enjoyed this performance.
Not only does this presentation bring that demonstration to mind, but it also brings up the various Don Dorsey and Gratziano Mandozzi recordings I grew up with (though they never included bass pedals), as well as a brief impulse that mentor of mine had to assemble a synthesizer/organ hybrid with 16 Minimoog Voyager modules for each of the 2 manuals and four modules for the pedalboard.
I close my eyes and go back till 1830 or so and feel Unser Vater JS Bach playing himself this piece on that instrument itself... I am enjoying being in nineteen century... Don't feel like open my eyes nor go back to the future. Thank you, happiness and big pleasure.!!
I am amazed with the excellence of your performance and the quality of the instruments. Thank you very much for this wonderful gift. Greetings from Brazil.
a pedal clavichord! who knew?! thank you for this marvelous performance of one of the master's most difficult and important keyboard compositions
This is the most badass thing I have seen and heard in a long time. Instrument is awesome, and the performance was excellent.
A masterclass performance demonstrating the total understanding of the musician and the craftsman who created the instrument.
Very sublime and well done. Thank you for sharing this . One of your finest.
Another musical highlight in the youtube world. Thank you for your amazing work! And thank you for sharing. I can't stop listening to this.

Who
Came looking for other versions of this after hearing Vikingur Olafsson play August Stradal's piano arrangement. What a cool piece - I'm *loving* the sound of this clavichord, too!
How many clavichords do you need?
Yes
C'est magnifique. Le clavicorde est difficile à bien jouer. C'est formidable d'écouter un triple clavicorde père et fils avec un clavicorde pédalier à la basse. La musique de Bach prend ici tout son sens. Le clavicorde était l'instrument préféré du grand cantor. Il adorait le jouer en privé / That's wonderful. The clavichord is difficult to play. It's so great to listen to a triple father and son clavichord with a bass pedal clavichord. Bach's music takes on its full meaning here. The clavichord was the grand cantor's favorite instrument. He loved to play it in private. Thank you very much
It has nothing to do with music, but...
Duolingo works!
I have been studying French with that language learning app for just over three years, now.
While my ability to express myself is not at the same level....
... my *comprehension* of what you wrote above was complete. I did not need the translation at all. (Just wanted you to know.)
I never heard of a pedal clavichord before today, but it makes a lot of sense. Wonderful performance.
A majestic performance. My maternal grandfather had a clavichord as part of an antique writing desk but it was beyond repair, unfortunately. I always fantasized about its actual sound...
Sonata 4 was the first of the Bach sonatas I learned, and I have to say this was terrific to listen to
Using 2 different clavichords for the upper voices is a really great idea, rather than the usual plan of using 2 identical instruments for the upper manuals. Their colours work perfectly. Bravo, well done!
WOOOOOOW!!!!!!!
UNBELIEVABLE INSTRUMENT!!!!!
Amazing is an overused word but this thing is AMAZING!
Thanks for demonstrating with BACH!!!
The clavichord was the ideal instrument to perform on for organists, even in France, where all organists had a "manichordion" as late as the early 18th century. They were cheap instruments that were often built by organists themselves, and which didn't need some extra person for actioning the organ bellows. It is my opinion that, Bach's trio sonatas were actually not comlposed for the organ, but essentially for the clavichord. They are more convincing on the clavichord, since they display a variety of compositional details that are not idiomatic to the organ.
There are musicians who prefer the clavichord because of its potential for dynamic expression.
I love that you took the the time to carefully analyze the pieces voices and not only play them but give each voice it’s own shape and character. I think this is what it would sound like in the baroque period! Props
An incredible instrument and a wonderful performance. Thank you for sharing.
It was said somewhere that JS Bach had a pedal harpsichord at home, I guess it was for practice, his sons were to be musicians and needed to be able to play organ-pedals.
The trio-sonatas for two hands and pedal are so genuinely Bach music that it bears to be played on whatever. This recording is beautiful and makes me search for organ-renditions.
Endlich hört man eine Trio Sonate auf dem Instrument für die Bach sie eigentlich vorgesehen hatte. Es waren 6 Sonaten für Pedal Cembalo komponiert für Friedemann Bach den ältesten Sohn J. S. Bachs, um sich im Pedal Spiel zu habilitieren! Toll gespielt! Vielen Dank Robert Feyerabendt , Organist aus Limburg an der Lahn
Thank you youtube algorithm for showing me this! What an awesome instrument! I was not aware of clavichords like this :D
Un'esecuzuine straordiaria, grazie per l'emozione di questa bellezza
Gorgeous clavichord playing. You would think he played clavichord day and night. Such a genius.
He probably does.
This is just amazing. What a superb instrument, and a really great way to showcase the #4 sonata. Your recordings are glorious, Balint, congratulations. The First movement of the #1 is also stunning, just stunning.
The instrument organ players used to practice at home, since, like the organ, the way you release the key also changes the sound
Organ players?
You must be Brazilian.
But you are right.
Organs was and are high expansive to have one. This kind of címbalos is a way to practice.
@@minka866 Portugal. I was going to write Organists, but I wasn't sure. I have learned that, while you could practice the organ on a harpsichord, you wouldn't be able to perfect the release touch.
@@ExAnimoPortugal , I'm from Brazil. I am joined at Portuguese organist Facebook community. Do you have hear about some Portuguese organ builders? I learn someone. Nuno Ringaud, for example.
@@minka866 Dinarte Machado built organs like Nossa Senhora do Cabo (Linda-a-Velha) and S. Sebastião da Pedreira (Lisboa) and restored the 6 organs of Mafra
@@ExAnimoPortugal , seu Dinarte Machado is there too.
Astonishing instrument played superbly. White socks very eighteenth century.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I remember a chance to try out a pedal harpsichord at an RCO event in StGiles London . This has indeed a tremendous performance. Clavichord has its own style...and expertise!
TH-cam: Hey, wanna see How metal was played in the 1600's?
Me: Thou needest not aks twice!
It's not Metallica. It the kinks.
I was going to suggest that he needs an even larger clavichord, but he's out of limbs, so the only option is an overhead, larger one played by headbutting the keys, which would be extra metal.
ДЛЯ СЛУХА НЕОБИЧНОЕ ЗВУЧАНИЕ __ ОСОБЕННО БАС !!! СПАСИБО !!!
Caro Maestro,
lei ha fatto qualcosa di meraviglioso! 🙌💘🕊️
This just proves that every instrument is a BASS in disguise!

Happy to discover this on 3/21, Bach’s birthday!
Thank you for sharing this, congrats!
You've gotta get one, bub!
Wow! Never seen the likes of this video! THREE clavichords played simultaneously by one person! Absolutely spell-binding sir. My compliments and thanks. I’m your new subscriber.
The great Majesty of the performance is astonishing. You are definitely very skilled! I have a great respect after that performance
Truly incredible. This instrument is a monster!
Bro, that instrument is sick!
I don't even want to _imagine_ the amount of practice it must have took to be able to play three instruments at once like that.
Such a wonderful musician... Thank you for posting!
Felt more blue than piano, amazing
0:07 OMG that vibrato... as a guitarist I shed a tear...
Its like the original aftertouch, its amazing!
I love that you are able to control the dynamics of the pedal clavichord notes :)
Thank you and Bach for this wonderful piece, oh yeah, thank the builders of those crazy boxes too!
WOW! This is wonderful! Your playing technique is perfect! This reminds me of our beloved E. Power Biggs and his grand Pedal Harpsichord! You have really made this favorite piece of Bach music come alive! Thanks!
Richard Snyder old Biggs introduced me to the pedal harpsichord, life has never been the same since.
This is stratospheric! Thank you!!
Gorgeous instrument, gorgeous playing! Bebung can be used on fretboard instruments like lutes and guitars, too.
So glad to listen to this in the context of others' appreciation. Frankly the instrument is an acquired taste.
WoW! Amazing. I love this OPUS: BWV528!!!!
An amazing experience, both with the playing, and this extraordinary pedal clavicord. Quite an amazing experience to hear the instrument bieng able to play such deep notes!
Genius. Style and professionalism of the highest order. The supreme difficulty of the work and hypersensitivity of the instrument likely account for some unneveness of accent and touch, and I believe I heard a touch of tuning irregularity in the tenor, but these fade before the artistic statement, and indeed even provide distinctive features in character with the singularity and authenticity of the performance. We can only hope for a recording of the set of 6. Special thanks for sharing this superb musical experience Mr. Karosi.
If the clavichords are not in today's tuning system, different music keys will sound less perfect. It's also difficult to tune these instruments, and they go out of tune quickly too.
@@MegaMech Intonation may vary slightly according to the way the instrument is being played. This characteristic enables to "tune" a bit while playing. This aspect of the clavichord has strangely enough not been studied as it deserves by musicians.
@@philippefritsch1892 It has been studied. Try searching Jstor or watch authentic sound youtube channel for musical clavichord examples. The keyboard player controls the tuning like a singer does. It is a skill but likely not hard to play in tune. The tuning is changed for musical reasons. Watch goulda bach as well.
@@MegaMech Ye, they do. I think you need go up to up to a spinet be4 they somewhat stabilize. Even the harpsichord i got in a practice room goes out of tune in some strings often. The hammerspinet i got in my study room is far more stable.
Werckmeister III temperament
One of the most interesting and beautiful videos I have seen in a long time. Bravissimo Balint!!
An absolute revelation. Quite unlike anything else I've experienced...the pedal-board is really percussive. I imagine that playing the clavichord is exceptionally hard to do well, and it is played superbly well here.
Las obras de Bach, con clavicordio me crea emociones de recuerdos vividos , se que están en algún lugar dentro mi memoria.
Woah!!! Baroque orgels und pedaal clavichord;;;; Wunderbar!!! All the best to you♡♡
What also is beautiful IS that you have more sustain than on a harpsichord. Then you play it very subtely as if it was a simple pièce what IS remarkable.
Sounds like my beated out old upright. Loved it.
WOW I Love BACH and BWV528 "triosonata series" is the best. wow!!! Thank you, From Barcelona, Catalonia.
It is marvelous. It sounds beautiful and it is extremely well played.
The very beginning of this piece even sounds a little bit Chinese (actually, many Bach masterworks could be played on Chinese instruments and sung the Chinese traditional way).
When I see that we went from a pair of two keyboards plus pedal set to a single keyboard instrument, I believe we made great leaps backwards!
Thank you for sharing this video.
Wonderful Balint, just wonderful, thank You!
Pretty nice. I wasn't really in the mood for Bach just now, but I'm glad I gave this a go.
I might have appreciated it even more if I Had been in the mood.
Bravo, nagyszeru jatek, nagyszeru hangzas!
Perfect Analog and Digital at the same time
Wow, this has opened my ears. Well played! That Andante is sublime.
