There is a small issue when playing the entire Chaconne on a viola d'amore. The piece begins and ends in D minor, but there is a substantial middle section in D major. With the standard tuning, a viola d'amore has two F strings between its A and D strings, one fingered and one sympathetic. These are tuned to F natural when a piece is in D minor and to F# when a piece is in D major. There is no time during the Chaconne to retune the two F strings up to F# when the piece changes to D major or to retune them back down to F natural when the piece returns to D minor. The strings have to stay at F natural, so a little bit of resonance will be lost during the D major section.
You’re right but the D major part is very simple so when i play the entire 2d partitat, I’m always relieved to arrive in the D major. I can breathe and take a rest before the final. One thing very interesting with Bach is that the music leads efficiently so you don’t meet difficulties without musical direction. It helps a lot.
I think that depending of how do you want to play it, the loss of resonance could be something positive, to mark an even more difference between the sections
And you would almost have to play it in a church to find out what all the Harmonic Implications might be. The F's would emphasize the minor 7th as well. It could be Spectacular.
My favourite passage from the famous Chaconne! I wish you had played all of it! I know you're just testing the instrument though and it's a great sounding viola d'amore: very rich and sonorous with that booming sound. Warm too, but not at all weak! I play this piece on the traditional viola and it is slightly more difficult than violin of course because of the response of the strings and the placement of the fingers (stretching further). So I know you're taking a step further by playing it on your instrument. Well done 😀 I admire that you can play it on the viola d'amore at all! I can't imagine myself playing on even a 5-stringed instrument with a large guitar-like neck! It sounded very difficult in spots (like at 1:23 with the slightly-off intonation) but you got through it! I hope you might record the whole thing one day, because I really think people all over the world would enjoy listening to it. I certainly would want it in my playlist and would listen to it a lot! It would be a real gift to the world. Keep going, I love it :) !!!
Hi Liam, Thanks for your comment. I play the entire 2d partitat on the viola d'amore and one day i'll publishing it. That's odd because this viola d'amore by salomon is smaller and more easier to play than mine but I play rough on it. But I had great time and thrills whith it.

I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I've only heard of viola d'amore played a few times in the past so I don't have much basis of comparison. I liked portions of this excerpt, but there were others that sounded particularly harsh. That may simply have been a problem with where the microphone was placed rather than a characteristic of the instrument. In a case, I think that there may be better pieces to show off the unique characteristics of the viola d'amore and it's sympathetic strings, which I thought was valued for its sweet sound.
You can't figure out how you are right. Just an iphone and a little improvisation around chaconne. So, keep an eye to this viola d'amore playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLvTT1_fssLjwvhbQeQ9Smup8Z-QVJI3gx.html There you'll listen to viola d'amore in good condition :)
@@MrFullService This viola d'amore is made to deliver Bach as a viola d'amore. We are (me comprised) too used to powerfull and brilliant instruments made for concerts halls. The wonderfull things with viola d'amore: you have a lot of differents shapes, sizes, sounds and tunings. That's not a concurrent of alto, violin or viola da gamba.
Que modelo de viola é está com tantas cordas e pestanas me fale sua procedência e sua marca por favor!,beijos e forte abraço 😊😊😊😊Silvia de OURINHOS um beijo Brasil
I think it is fairly clear from the 15 second mark onwards that this was meant to be played with a baroque bow which goes on more than 2 strings at once. That raking sound of different separate notes is so jarring - vs tho chord/harmonium-like sound you are supposed to have which would be so pleasing. Instead we get the sound of pressing on strings and the chords turn into arpeggios. The players intonation changes almost everytime he moves his thumb... the thumb contact point also changes signifying tension. Gotta release that tension so he can play better. His hearing is great - the technique ruins it. Or maybe that fingerboard is crooked ?
Ñooo.....Nunca he visto una Viola con tantas cuerdas... felicidades por conseguirla...se podrían hacer arreglos diferentes al repertorio actual de los grandes Compositores Clásicos... tener más posibilidades...de extensión en el Instrumento es una Aventura Musical, .... Mucha SUERTE....
Its a viola designed to eradicate bad intonation by giving you a string for every note though I could see this being significantly harder to play as you try,to keep track of all those guys
@@Delahoussedamore I'm sorry, could you tell me more, I recently bought a viola, and so far I'm not well-versed in it. The viola has 12 strings (considering the sympathetic ones). You recommended Thomastik dominant. Do you assemble from two sets for violin and viola? What do you use for sympathetic strings?
Los instrumentos barrocos sonaban bastante apagados no proyectaban. En la actualidad se busca la brillantez del sonido en violines modernos y que suenen totalmente barroco, lo cual me parece una reverenda estupidez siendo violinista. Pero bue...
As a violin player this instrument looks incredible but vey hard to play😭
And the tuning of the instrument, a nightmare.
@@billace90Yo imagina double STOPs or 😮😮
Its like we dont even need violin, viola, cello, and double bass in an orchestra

That has 7-strings, doesn't it?
@@fluffyunicorn57 yes 7/7, 7 strings for the bow and 7 strings under the bridge for the resonance. So 14 strings.
@@Delahoussedamore so a bit like a baryton?
@@fluffyunicorn57 7 that you can touch and 7 resonances under the bridge.
I love the sound. Beautifull.
So many , 7, strings.
On the violin its already very difficult.
I played it for my final exams.
Love the harmonics. I think it looks and sonds very good. You play well. It is quite thick, and quite wide. I like the squiggly air holes.
Wunderbar! Danke!
Gorgeous performance, gorgeous instrument, gorgeous music.
Bravo
Lovely.
Thank you for all the chord shapes 👃
Beautiful! thank you for the video
Beautifull, thanks
Sounds incredible excellent playing
thats actually insane 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing Instrument 😲. and beautiful sound too...💓
Magnifique, merci !
Desde niño me ha encantado el sonido de la Viola dAmore, podrías subir algún fragmento de los solos de los conciertos de Vivaldi?

It looks like it has way more tuning pegs than strings unless some of them are false pegs just to add uniformity to the peg box.
Wow, I wonder what is the range of that instrument ♥
8 5ths
@@kingbroseph9773 Wow, that's a lot.

can we have a modern violin but with more sympathetic strings? is there such? 🥺🙏🙏🙏

Genial musico., excelente!
so uh.. how long does it take to tune that?
almost 250 years
Waaaaooh... Bravo. Must be technically very hard
Very hard to play like THIS
💕👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
wow i wonder how long it takes to master this versus a regular violin or viola?
Niiiiiice
Was it played with a baroque bow or same as violin/viola bow?
😮😮😮🎉
Car gut strings or not? 😅
Imagine tuning it 😅
look that link where Dan Ross set a string inside: th-cam.com/video/zUwE5qMZzcg/w-d-xo.html
It's not like it has 50 strings.... I reckon it can be done in 20 minutes maximum. Even a piano is more difficult, so...

I just bought a cheap one to learn the idea of technique 😃
아니 18줄??
heres me struggling with my 4 string 😳😳
It would need frets to sound right

What the heck why is that a thing O_O
You might find it easier to play that section more in the middle of the bow- less arm movement needed -save your energy!
ok
