Welcome to the wonderful world of Affektenlehre…

I grew up listening to him; he was a phenomenal virtuoso. I didn’t care much for his orchestral interpretations, but he was absolutely spot on in using large harpsichords with 16′ choirs to play the Bachs, as he knew that’s the sort of instruments they had and used. He took an enormous amount of flak from the “authentic performance” crowd because…[Read more]

A nice up tempo period instrument performance of the Gloria from JS Bach’s setting of the Lutheran mass, BWV 233. This little five minutes is chocked FULL of Affektiv devices, plus, in five minutes, you get three four-voiced fugues:

the Domine Deus is fantastic

That’s a worry. Long-term, if ordinary people can build these things, then guns will be a thing of the past.

It is true that such instruments are more expensive, and hence, more difficult to learn, because they are hand crafted. And it is also true that the tempering systems for tuning them are known to a few people. But still, I think part of it is the mass production effect… and the resulting lazy ears….

We are still waiting for a little taster of the new Pipe Organ!

Or is China buying them all up?

Playing a period instrument like the violin with a different temperament or tuning than the contemporary one is a real challenge regardless of whether the instrument is hand-crafted or not, because the violin does not have frets.
P.S. In middle-eastern music (Turkey, Iran, Arab world) the violin is one of the few instruments that can be used…[Read more]-
A simple but charming example of Persian-tuned piano composition:
(In Iran, the santur or dulcimer has always been very popular, and it sound a bit like the harpsichord, which explains the Iranian interest in piano)

I agree… I’d rather hear things composed for lute ON the lute, and I do prefer the sound to the guitar.
-
Dr Farrell, I am not sure, but I think the reason why original instruments were/are not used that much has more to do with finding talented/virtuoso players of such instruments (and those instruments can be extremely expensive). The tuning of the instruments of that era is also a very delicate thing that must be done right (and may not please all…[Read more]

This is what bothers me about such books: the persistent attempt to ignore what contemporaries thought: MOST of them, Robert Fludd and Leibniz included, thought this group was real, yet, academic scholarship does not attempt to delve into why these very intelligent people thought this. It’s similar, in some respects, to the trend in academic…[Read more]

That sounds like an interesting book. Was it any good?

Churton says that he believed Johann Valentin Andreae wrote the manefestos, but also says that there was a never a Rosicrucian society or breatheren. He says that Rosicrucianism was associated with Plato, Dee, Flood and all the usual suspects because of it’s message. There is a lot of religious “chat” in it and the book was a very big “Harveys…[Read more]

And to think, that, to Hass, this was a medium-sized harpsichord. Imagine what the Bachs’ music would sound like on the Hass Triple, or the big instruments at Zimmerman’s coffee house!

A busy day today, and a lot of progress on chapter two, with now a provisional outline of chapters 1-6 done. I finally found the way to organize this monster. This will be very controversial, perhaps even off-putting to some people, but trying together threads carefully laid down all the way back in Giza Death Star Deployed.

Thanks for the tidbit on the subject matter.

Well… I’ve been working all night, and listening to my other favorite Bach, Carl Phillip. Mozart is alleged to have said “He(CPE Bach) is the father; we are the children. All that we do right, we owe to him. He who does not own to this, is a scoundrel.” Here’s why (from 1753): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPWeL-7HkJE

Well .. at least you haven’t been listening to Tolec …. 🙂

…let the 16′ choirs on a REAL harpsichord thunder, as only Carl Phillip Emanuel Bach can make them do in 1740…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkaZ-g5tj8E

What did you do, this video has apparently been deleted! Didn’t know CPE was so controversial

Over two days I’ve listened several times . . . excellent sound, even on an ipad. Try again . . .

Maybe web overload as everybody tuned in

@danathomasHey dana – use hooktube to try and load the video, you might be getting DSN interference and ‘copyright’ regulations.. Hooktube plays the youtube content.

I’ve never had this type of blocking before for classical music – maybe there is a Hungarian angle here…

I’ve bought this album now. A lot of it is playing away in in the back of my mind now … it’s fantastic 🙂

Richter makes my ears go into different spaces, and then pulls them back…at the same time !
I don’t know how to describe this; Richter’s mood is to change one person into another… ?
