Really nice to hear it on a period instrument, with the influences of Sturm und drang very clear. Truly beautiful, love the way time is stretched yet the pace is steady
Thank you I'm glad you liked it. This is not entirely a period instrument, and I expect that you'll like my harpsichord recordings from the Augustinian library even better.
CPE Bach’s Solfeggio/Solfeggiettto is not sturm und drang which is in essence a Viennese phenomenon of c.1765-1775; written in 1766, it is more in line with CPE’s characteristic North German empfindsamer Stil aesthetic.
Thank you. That was indeed a cute and little Neupert Telemann harpsichord, but now I have upgraded to a much larger Hubbard French double manual. Hoping to make new recordings again soon ...
This is my absolute favorite classical piece, especially beautiful on the harpsichord... My goal as a pianist, like my very talented mother... I hope I can capture the passion this artist displays. Kudos to this amazing musician, truly great! ❤️❤️❤️
Some of the piano in the early baroque periods were at least one pitch down, but I desperate to play this one day, happy to see this type of video, thank you.
modes aren't ... arranged in predetermined order among each other row like scale keys... it's all in the same mode switching to a different root in this example even.
Wonderful interpretation. You are actually making music out of this piece as opposed to everyone else who only sees it as a mad dash to get to the end as quickly as possible. Used to play this often in my youth on my Wittmayr-harpsichord before giving it away.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it. Indeed, some people seem to think of this as an excercise in speed and do not make music out of the phrases and differing moods found within this brief musical moment.
That was beautifully written and beautifully played. I wonder if the smaller keyboard makes some of these pieces a wee bit less daunting? My eyes sometimes get lost in the sea of keys, but I look at this keyboard and two things come to mind: 1) I want an ice cream sandwich, 2) it just feels more contained... more grounded. As if I could have a personal relationship with every key (if that makes any sense at all?) Like.. oh right this A.. I love this A.
Thank you. The smaller keys unfortunately do not make this less daunting but instead add a new challenge. After playing piano for many years, the fingers develop a muscle-memory of the distance of each interval, and that is thrown out of place slightly when one plays harpsichord. At least after having focused primarily on harpsichord now for a few years that is no longer such a problem for me :-)
And yet, this is only written by Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach the son of Johann Sebastian Bach. (J. S. Bach's music is perhaps not only better than his son's, but probably the greatest of all time.)
I am a professional pianist of the Russian classical school, and we have always been taught that all similar sixteenth notes should be perfectly even in terms of timing. However, here I hear what we conventionally call 'unevenness,' and I'm wondering if someone could explain if I am wrong or if this style of performance is characteristic of the era, or if the performer is indeed playing with some variations in the sixteenth notes within the given context. Specifically, the sixteenth notes seem to have different speeds within the subdivided group, creating an effect that is not conventionally taught in our training. I'm curious to understand if this is a deliberate stylistic choice or if it may be a unique interpretation by the performer.
Hello, thank you for the polite way that you phrased your question. In short, yes, it is indeed a deliberate choice, however, it is more complicated than that. Uneven notes were common before the 19th century as for instance notes inegales in French baroque music. The metronome was not invented until during Beethoven's time, and ridged exact mechanical precise playing is the worst thing you can do on a harpsichord. Since there is no variety of dynamics on a harpsichord, the main method of expression comes from subtle and tasteful fluctuations in the rhythm. Therefore, I try to use expressive playing which emphasizes the musical aspects of the phrases and gives the instrument a human voice. Otherwise harpsichord playing would sound boring and could be replaced by a computer.
in fact, these days, I am now even more influenced by the freedom of Francois Couperin's L'art de toucher le clavecin (where he specifically requests to play as if there were no barlines and to not feel the need to be limited to the printed rhythm) as well as unmeasured preludes of the baroque and fantasies and toccatas from the earlier baroque such as by Froberger and Frescobaldi.
Yes, I have seen that version with those extra notes, however, in an edition I found those extra notes were written in smaller print as an ossia option. Also, in the autograph copy that I found they were not there and it ended as I do here.
Très belle interprétation ! Bravo ! J'ai trouvé votre chaine TH-cam et vos enregistrements en faisant une recherche sur "clavecin Neupert Telemann". J'ai en effet eu la chance d'acheter ce même clavecin et même modèle (N°19953 datant de 1959 d'après les informations de la marque) pour la modique somme de 100€ et il est en parfait état de fonctionnement. J'ai écouté tous vos interprétations qui sont une référence. Vous jouez avec beaucoup de sensibilité.
Merci beaucoup! Je comprends français sans problem, mais je prefere d'ecriver en anglais. It is nice to read that you have a similar Neupert. I would highly recommend that you get a professional to help you replace the leather plectra with delrin. It will make your instrument sound much better. Also new brass and iron strings will help too.
@@paulmauffray Hello, a Professional friend saw my instrument and have tuned it. I have already delrin plectra (OK-Springer in Deutsch) I will play this Cembalo on Sunday in Concert, with a little sonorisation because It's a big Church. I'm also playing organ in this Concert.
First time I heard a CPE piece that I liked. Not only did the apple fall far frim the tree, but rolled down a steep hill and was devoured by a passing deer
I was very curious with period instrument especially Harpsi, since the keyboard was smaller and crisp, no wonder why Herr Mozart creates such happy-arpeggios finger playing because it fits! I wonder if ancient piano was much smaller than modern grands.
Yes, the harpsichord and early fortepiano (which came before our modern piano) were indeed somewhat smaller than pianos. In fact, just yesterday I was measuring the keys on my harpsichord and comparing the measurements with the piano, and the harpsichord keys are slightly more narrow.
why are all harpsichords tuned by a half of tone lower? for example, this piece, composed in c-minor, sounds like it's written in h(b)-minor when being played... other day i've listened to a sonate in G-major, which sounded totally like F-sharp major when played on a harpsichord
That is a fair question and difficult to answer in such a short space here. Basically, the main thing to keep in mind is that A=440 Hz was not a standard reference pitch until the 20th century, so there is great debate about the many variety of pitches and tunings that were used in the 18th century, but a general consensus among those who play early music is to use A=415 which is a half-step lower. Some harpsichordist do indeed tune to 440 these days particularly to facilitate playing together with modern instruments such as in contemporary orchestras. However, it is also important to keep in mind that harpsichords (as well as most baroque instruments) are made of delicate wood which is greatly effected by the pressure of higher strung strings. Therefore, tuning slightly lower can do a lot to help prevent structural problems that could otherwise permanently ruin an instrument. Lastly, the harpsichord is easily effected by a change in humidity which could cause the pitch to increase and potentially cause a string to break. My strings are able to withstand tuning up to 442, but by keeping them at 415 I do not have to worry if the humidity changes and they accidentally creep up to 440. I hope that helps answer your question. :-)
You are the first to comment on those missing octaves in the left hand. Unfortunately, this video was made during the pandemic, this instrument was the only one I had then, and it did not have the lower range of notes. Therefore, I took some liberty with leaving out the octaves. Maybe I should record this again soon now that I have a larger instrument.
That was only with the 8' register, but I plan on making a new recording on my French double-manual harpsichord where I will use two sets of 8' and alternate between both manual for a forte and piano effect. ...
@@paulmauffray Thank you! I also have a NEUPERT Telemann Harpsichord, I have just received as a present from somebody. The Cembalo was made around 1976 and is in very good condition. I tried this solfeggio on my Telemann Harspichord too, but on yours it sounded like you used also thr 4' Register, maybe becuase of the brilliance.
The most significant improvement I made to that Neupert was that I had a professional replace all the old leather plectra with delrin plectra. I highly recommend that you do the same. Also, if your Neupert still has steel strings, please get those replaced properly with brass and iron strings. If both of those upgrades are done correctly, the quality and value of your Neupert will increase by at least double.
This is the only C.P.E. Bach Solfeggio I have learned yet. I'll have to look and see if there are more of them to learn. Do you have any favorites? In any case, I plan to re-record this one soon ...
Update: this Solfeggio (also known as Solfeggietto) in c Minor seems to be the only one that C.P.E. Bach wrote. Please correct me if I'm wrong and I would love to find more similar pieces.
Hi, nice that you noticed that. It is actually a customary practice to play baroque music at a lower pitch. Therefore, this instrument is tuned to A=415.3 instead of the modern standard of 440, and thus sounds a half-step lower than what you might be used to. For this particular instrument, I found that the lower tuning gave the strings a warmer and fuller resonance. There's lots of info to read about historical pitches and temperaments. I'll try to make sure that is clear in the video description.
Yes, some are, but not that one. In this video, I was playing on a Neupert Telemann which is not expensive at all. The one I feature in my Augustinian Library videos, however, is exponentially more expensive ;-)
I was just clarifying because that is not the type of plectra that originally came with Neupert harpsichords. The plectrum (plural: plectra) are the parts that pluck the strings have perhaps the greatest influence on sound quality in a harpsichord. So this instrument just happened to maybe sound much better than your average Neupert harpsichord. Hope that helps. And for comparison, please check out my other harpsichord videos from the Augustinian library :-)
@@skivin2970 Basically, it is a plastic plectrum to pluck the string rather than the quills used in baroque days . Majority of harpsichords today are equiped with delrin . They are more reliable , especially in concerts.
No, I don't believe this ending is shorter than what the composer actually wrote (at least based on this manuscript I found online). However, I have seen other editions that looked like some editor had later added a few more notes of almost a whole bar of music. But that has never appeared to be correct in my opinion.
And yes, that is an original 18th century handwritten copy. I believe I may have downloaded it from imslp, but I can not remember if it was in the hand of C.PE. Bach himself or made by a copyist. Since my keyboard had a limited range at the bottom, I did in fact edit the score to leave out those lower octave doublings.
I'm not sure what you mean by "inverted". Are you referring to the colors of the keys? If so, that's the way most harpsichords were (and are) made with dark naturals and light colored sharps and flats. Otherwise, if I were to play the music inverted, the melody would be upside down :-D
