Most enjoyable. Thanks.

Your playing is delicious! I need to look at more of Buxtehude's harpsichord music!

Thanks, I enjoyed listening to the explanations which sound so logical, but you have to figure it out first. You only hear it when someone explains how to listen, although it may sound very natural.

[@AlexanderWinkler]

Great presentation of Buxtehude's music, would love to hear more about the tabulature

[@johnmoraitis]

That requires its own separate video, so I'll put it on the list of topics to cover in the future!

That's interesting, thanks for the explanation and the performance !
I'm learning piano by my own after two years with a teacher, and I'm also playing with a sampled harpsichord (pretty good quality I think, but I can't change the temperament) some baroque pieces, so it's interesting to see how to play them
