The chord progression for most of this this piece is the entire circle of fifths in diatonic g minor (with the raised 7th to make the dominant at the end of each progression). It exactly illustrates why the scales were built this way: because it sounds good. There are admittedly a few passages in the middle that use diminished substitutions instead.
No. This is not the part that is the best. It isn't. It's the most known in public, but it's not the best. I don't get why people really like it more than the rest...
@@fatitankeris6327 This part is the climax of the piece and the most important one because the previous musical variations prepare the ground for this moment. Whether it is the most beautiful (as I think) or not is a subjective matter but it is certainly the most important moment of the piece and the moment Händel chose to make it the climax of the piece. After this moment, the following variations' function is to conclude the passacaglia.
You know what I find amazing? Handel and Paganini both wrote pieces that basically add up to a Theme and Variations on the Circle of Fifths, and yet, they are so different, it’s hard to recognize that they are based around the same progression, the diatonic minor circle of fifths.
@@caterscarrots3407 The Paganini is at least a little more interesting because it alternates between a 2-chord cycle (i V) and an 8-chord one (which you described).
This interpretation of this masterpiece its the most perfect for me. Its very flawless,and i love it. And I think the harpischord its a satisfactory instrument to play xdd
Merci mille fois pour cette interprétation si passionnée ! Le clavecin est vraiment un des plus beaux instruments, et il donne toute sa magnificence à cette passacaglia. Merci encore pour ce moment de pur bonheur !
There was another version uploaded that I used to listen to all the time where the tempo was up a bit more. Is it weird this hypes me up for a work out? Bravo
Oh, and if you want to know why I'm not composing is that because THE THING WITH MY CHILDREN DYING BECAUSE I DIDNT CARE ABOUT THEM IS TOTALLY FALSE! THEY DIED BECAUSE THEY WERE SICK! I HAVE TIME FOR SOMETHING ELSE THAN COMPOSITION!
Beautiful performance. But I am curious. I'm accompanying with my acoustic guitar and I have to play in G flat minor. And my guitar, I think, is in the right tune.
@@ktriebler I just read the article and could hear the different pitches. I didn't know that. Very interesting. Thank you very much. And again, excellent performance!
At 1:21, the transcriber labelled the right-hand (treble clef) time as 12/8. That's not true, it's still common time. Instead, those are tuplets, not eighths.

Frankly, I don't know. The only thing I know it was played on a harpsichord by Carl August Gräbner at the musical instrument collection of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg. Built in Dresden 1782, it has 2 manuals and a range from F1 to f3. edit: oh, and I am not the performer -- this is played by the late Eberhard Kraus of Regensburg, Germany.
Lacoby Mills Baroque pitch (while it did vary among regions/instruments) was A=415 with A# actually being 440. That could be why you’re hearing the difference

It looks like an technique exercises but it is a masterpiece with top musicality.
My friend Wolferl,
The musicality depends on the interpretation of the harpsichordist; and in this case I can say it is of very high quality.
nah its basic circle of 5ths shit
@@domenicoscarlatti7864
If is say it by the harpsichord master, it's true.
@@domenicoscarlatti7864 Something unreal about this dialogue between Mozart and Scarlatti...but it’s amazing!

Addictive to the max ... makes me want to be transported to Handel's world. Bra---vo!
Beautiful piece; circle of fifths never disappoints.

Excelent. 😍

Orderly and neat, Handel would have made a formidable career in mechanical engineering if he lived in our time :)
Thank God he didn’t. Imagine such a mind wasted solving historically inconsequential technical problems
The heck does that have to do with music?

Мы с ученицей играли пассакалью в 4 руки и некоторые были очень красивые вариации.В терцию, трелями,аккордовые и т,д
Я думаю, что он играет не соль минор, а соль-бемоль минор, я прав? that is, he is playing in G flat minor, not G minor.
The intensity of this almost feels modern
First part, the last hit of Miley Cyrus Flowers is very similar
Me encanta esta canción, muchas gracias. 😊
The harpsichord is really lovely ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I see this is a variation work. The chord progression is often used in Baroque for example in Bachs Fugue in C minor Book 1
You know, you deserve more subs! This is good!
that last bit......is insane.
After 5 months I finally learnt all the passacaglia by memory (for context I'm 13)
Fantastic interpretation
There was another version uploaded that I used to listen to all the time where the tempo was up a bit more. Is it weird this hypes me up for a work out? Bravo
Yeah lmao it's good workout music, I have this piece in my playlist too.

I played the clip with 1.25x speed, incredible work!
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suppose it's the historical tuning that makes this sound like today's f# minor instead of g minor?
Yes, 415 Hz, if I remember correctly.
Bella canzone fantastico
Great to listen to the ORIGINAL
Very catchy. very danceable.
Even *W. A. Mozart* and *L. Van Beethoven* considered Händel their superior! Enough said!
Too much said; both rated Handel highly (as did Haydn); best to just leave it at that.

Excellent
Beautiful performance. But I am curious. I'm accompanying with my acoustic guitar and I have to play in G flat minor. And my guitar, I think, is in the right tune.
Yeah, this is played on a historical harpsichord, these are usually tuned lower than 440Hz (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_pitch?wprov=sfla1)

It's just an alternative way to put it (instead of making out the part as 4/4 and labeling the notes as 8th triplets). Both are valid.
It was great 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Why doesnt the audio match the key signature on the sheet music?
Because it is played on a historic harpsichord which is tuned lower than current pianos or other instruments

Come on Scarlatti, we all know you couldn't Handel et, Although you two are my favorites its hard to choose whos the best.
You wrote way too many sonatas. But in all fairness, when you had a good one, you nailed it. There's room for multiple geniuses. Don't be jealous
Obviously,you won that fight
Shut up Scarlatti! I am his opponent not you! You are three times more inexperienced than him!

Up until now it played flawlessly. Must be a problem caused by TH-cam.
Now its all right thanks so much for your work and time
anyone think of village green by the kinks?

Also, what are you tuning to here? Something lower than 432hz, I'd presume.

KJ Mérida it is called Baroque playing, back in that time, people play music down a semitone.
@@thefrogmayor6524 If we wanna be right, we play music up a semitone.
