Always great to see a new upload from Early Music Sources
Your scholarship and ability to present the material so clearly is as amazing as always. And, what a wonderful performance by you and Elizabeth! I could hear Elizabeth delineate the different implied voices and still create an overarching melodic line throughout each section. Your realization was exceptional; creating countermelodies and imitation that pulled my ear into hearing the performance as chamber music rather than solo with accompaniment. I knew this video was something special the moment I heard the opening theme.
I can't express my appreciation for your beautifully thought-out videos! To find one in my email in the morning is a pleasure that makes my whole day.
What a gem! 🌸
Another outstanding episode, masterfully executed (visually and performance-wise), full of nuanced theoretical-analytical details. You really bring to life the modern and experimental aspects of distant music pasts in a touching and vivid way!
I enjoy these "deep dives" into the scores, SO MUCH! Not just because of the sly bits of humor that you always scatter in, but because in this kind of format, and with your truly excellent explanations, I can much more easily follow all that's going on. Part of it might be the literal "motion" of the score, and my own way of learning that really appreciates having sound and motion both together. But I think far more is your own well thought out script and your true talent for teaching us. Always such a wonderful experience to learn more about early music with you!!! Thank you!
Thank you for this! I've always thought Castello is a very underrated composer.
I have always enjoyed playing Castello's sonatas, and this is a wonderful presentation of them.
A superb episode. This channel is such a treasure. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this excellent content as always!!❤❤❤
Have a nice week❤
I have just decided to start learning this piece. I feel so lucky to find your excellent video about it. Thank you so much.
another lovely variation of the opening theme to add to the collection!
Beatiful playing from both. One of my favourite 17th C sonatas. I would love to see you do a deep dive on the whole book.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic video as always, and excellent playing Elizabeth!
That playing is 🔥 What a beautiful way to breathe new life into a piece such as this.
It is a shame that more music history classes are not more like your videos! You provide detailed, meticulous analysis in an accessible (and, dare I say, entertaining) way. Thanks to both of you also for the gorgeous playing. Very inspiring!
Thank you Elam. You have added to my knowledge this morning.
This is such a great channel! ❤
So interesting, as usual, thank you Elam!
Just last week i played the harpsichord when we performed his Sonata Seconda in d. Very interesting piece!
Excellent work, fabulous performance, intriguing continuo decisions! Thank you for footnote 14 ;-)
Thank you! 💝
Another excellent video on one of my favorite composers (I featured him on my channel before). I´m really glad you covered Castello and hope that you will someday talk about other obscure composers like Marini, Buonamente, Fontana, Cesare et al.
Thank you!
This is one of the most beautiful pieces played and explained in this, already, extraordinary channel.
Wonderful and crunchy as always 💛
I loved this video. Will you ever play and analyse a sonata from Schmelzer or Pandolfi Mealli? I'd love to learn more about them!
Reminds me a lot of Heinrich Biber Mystery Sonatas. I didn't know that style went back so far.
This sonata is such an awesome work, I love the many elements that made it modern for its time! Did the sonata's unrelated character changes evolve into the later phenomenon of having multiple movements?
Brilliant, and such an inspirational analysis as always. Thank you!
GREAT SOLO PIECE , NEVER HEARS OF CASTELLO BEFORE.
Very informative; superbly presented
This piece has a emotional meaning for me. Thank you for this video ❤️
This was lovely - and great playing, both of you.
Wonderful analysis so far of that piece, maybe one of the most important solo sonatas of that period, found till now. Could we want also make suggestion about an idea of this canzona, cause this one sounded to me more as dramatic aria, then just a kind of variation on the theme. Second, it's clear one can hear a plot behind contrasting parts in the form of dialogue, nevertheless it was written for a soprano, but probably could be performed by two players? Where the passages progress rhythmically and tension becomes overwhelming, comes a cadenza, as the answer of what was said above. Even more interesting is the final unaswered question, which have effect in the sixth bar before the end, resulting in the truly passionate cadenza ( a desire to find the truth), as though he tells "Maybe next time" or "Is it true?", smth like that...
Always wonderful!
Ooooo, nice Escher reference.
Bravissimo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐💐💐
Thank you for this information 🙌
Admirably presented.

Bravo
Veramente molto ben fatto e suonato! Complimenti
Very interesting and enjoyable video
Congratulazioni Elam, chiaro ed esaustivo.
Capitolo davvero interessantissimo! Ottimo materiale di studio, riflessione ed ispirazione, molti complimenti!
Wonderfull! Thank you! Will you post another vid just with the recording of the sonata?
I would certainly enjoy hearing it, perhaps from a streaming service or behind a paywall.
Make sure to check the info box and/or the footnote page. A link is there 😀
@@EarlyMusicSources ❤
@@EarlyMusicSources oh it didnt catch that. Cool its on her own channel 😊👍
If you wish, It Will be very interesting a video about Glareanus' dodecachordon
Wow! I play the renaissance recorder and it was extremely helpful!!! Is this recording uploaded uninterrupted maybe? I would love to hear it !
It's on Spotify!
Highly welcome program on instrumental music. Time constrains no doubt kept you from discussing the question of what instruments actually would have played the BC, and from bringing in the brilliant violinist Elizabeth Sommers for some details on violin performance practice, such as why the t (trillo? = gruppo?) is mostly played like a kind of flattement as in viol music. I am sure there are very good reasons for that and other idiomatic features of the violin part, so maybe in another episode?
12:20 "Ad agio" può essere tradotto con "at ease".
Great episode, as always! Just pointing out that the rythm in 7:21 is actually 4/2 for anyone who got confused like me.
It's amazing how Castello's sonate concertate were a cornerstone in instrumental music altogether. the title itself deserves discussion (concertate?) What do you think?
And thank you for these amazing videos, and I hope to hear more from this awesome duo!
I see! So from here starts the tradition of Ignazio Albertini and H.I.F Bieber's music ❤❤❤❤
I love your videos. What software do you use to create these? Thanks! JC
Thank you. Adobe after effects
Could you please explain what this type of ornament at 15:05 is? This kind of microtonal "weeping" sound, I've heard it in many early music violin pieces (also in your Rappresentazione, Elam) and I've always wondered if it has a name. It's beautiful!
In sources there are descriptions of different kinds of tremoli - this might be one of them. And indeed, I love it when it is used in such expressive moments.
I like the young edgy rebels!
🤘🏻🖤🎻
I've long enjoyed Castello, in particular his duo sonatas. What's the relation to the solo sonatas? Were they a further development from the solo? Also: The other day I came across Francesco Turini who has written very similar stuff. They seem to have been contemporaries though operating out of different cities. Did one influence the other, or was this kind of music just "in the air"?
You reminded me of a recurrent question- regarding origin of the canzona- nearly all of them start with the rhythmic motif :long short short. Where does this come from? Can you point to a ref?
14:41 what do you mean the resolution to the G is not valid? it quite literally is just a V/V to iv cadence the A 9th is a suspension. the A is resolved to G and then moves to Bb. The anchor on A moved to G, thus the dissonance was resolved to a consonance.
....simple really.
What Elam meant is that these fast notes are more of a diminution than part of the counterpoint, and I partly agree. But resolving 9 to 10 isn't very surprising as it is. My impression is that it's a progression that was favoured during the early baroque.
Could you recommend me a book that discusses ornaments in structuring melodic lines in the style of Corelli?
Where did the Early Music Sorce's intro came from? Is It an original composition?
it's an example from Penna's treatise on basso continuo for demonstrating how to play over a dotted bass
4:26 you meant 1623 right?
aguante la unc
This is the first 17th century music I have heard in my life, it was life-changing I suppose.
It reduces my blood pressure and revives my soul!
This reminds me a lot of Georg Muffat’s Sonata in D, played brilliantly at 5:58 here: th-cam.com/video/h68Gl2Dk6ac/w-d-xo.html
Excelent video!
14:40 I would have expected the Gm9 chord (sorry for the modern notation) on the third beat of the adagio to come a little earlier. Sorry to say this, but it comes too late and doesn't show the dissonance in all its glory.
Thanks.
