Thanks so much for this amazing piece, Andreas. Those chromaticisms really push boundaries and get me every time!!!.... if he'd lived for just 5 more years......

Great you like it! Btw: when listening to my synthesizer renditions on the mobile phone, that "backsplash" of my patch is WAY stronger than it actually is when I'm playing the piece on the digital piano and when compared to listening to these pieces on the PC headphones. I can understand now that some listeners objet to that exagerated effect, but it`s something the mobile phone equipment adds. Quite a nuisance!

Andreas as I slowly work my way through all of Your KZbin concerts, I am always surprised at the Gems of pieces You find on the road less traveled. I was not very familiar with this piece, and yet the notes arrive as though familiar faces welcomed home from a long journey, I am guessing he wrote this in the last 10 -15 years of his life as it has all the hallmarks of his later style, with all those mediant transitions and semi-cadences that move onward through not quite resolved suspensions. As to the temperament question. Werckmeister slightly favors the near keys (C,F, &G) while the far keys, F#(Gb). C# (Db), and B suffer a little, as some of the thirds in those keys are over sharp, compared to equal temperament, (the 5ths are a little squashed). The advantage of the sustained "misty" "strings" or choruses of "oboes and chaums", voices on this synth, or an organ with several not perfectly "zero beated" pipes is that, the ragged beat notes of quarreling mistuned notes are spread out into the "mist of voices", and are not quite as jarring, when there is a multiplicity of near mistuned unisons rather than perfectly tuned unisons, As one of the piano tuners, that I queried about piano tuning, stated,: that by slightly spreading the mistuning of a tempered scale across, the three strings per "note" one can make the beat notes in chords less noticeable. So if this piece is in "G" for instance, (one of the "near" keys Bach favored for Werckmeister temperament), the "wolf tones" would be less evident even though Bach is so exploratory in his beautiful chord transitions, and modulations in this piece. We don't know exactly what was Bach's method of tempering, but it seems to have been somewhere between Werckmeister , and modern 12th root of two per semitone "equal temperment". As there are only a few cents difference between the two, and a synthesizer using some number base can only approximate the irrational relationship of note values in an equal tempered scale to a degree (albeit- nearly perfect). If Bach planned for a concert at a church in which the tuning of the organ was Werckmeister, he would deliberately choose a key that showed off the organ in it's best light.

Somehow everything You upload belongs to a UNIQUE UNIVERSE ! Even the pieces I have heard many times before are transformed to exist in a PEACEFUL PLACE of long ago & far away. I LOVE. that universe. I think I can hear the water in the background, but at a level of perhaps minus 48 db..... is that my imagination ??? ... the music and the water open a certain space.... tranquility....sublime with a dash of turbulent flow....

Geopholus, I am very happy to know there is someone - you - who loves the same kind of music as I do. Probably we could be friends, also because of of your interesting philosophical comments; albeit there probably is a great distance between where you and I live (I live in Portugal). What you say about hearing the water subliminarly is interesting. I sometimes had a similar impression. But I checked: all video sequences are mute. It must be a kind of auto-suggestion.

All of these Prima Toni fugues of Pachelbel are gorgeous ! Several phrases in this are very reminiscent of the Mozart Requiem. It is probably more than coincidental. Mozart studied Bach and with Bach's son, and Bach studied with Pachelbel,... and beyond that.... they all tapped into the sap from the wellspring of All knowing unknown.

Andreas, There is something so special about Your Art ! You have found all these beautiful pieces to reveal from an almost forgotten past, and the way You play and accompany them with images,... always brings out something eternal... there is longing, sweetness, poignancy, hope and a sense of eternal connectedness. I feel like I just went for a long walk, on a beautiful crisp, sunny but cool day. All alone, but a part of a friendly UNIVERSE.

Yes, the Werckmeister temperament sometimes sounds particularly well. I also nourish a personal interest in exploring the possibilities modern synthetic sounds provide. For instance, I recorded this same piece on the synthesizer some months ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4a8YZunr8d6pdk

Andreas, such a LOVELY and deeply moving fugue. You have made it a priority, for me, to find complete works by Pachelbel. I was just reading a bit about him today. Apparently he lost a young son and his 1st wife to a plague that hit the German states in 1682-3 just before Bach was born on March 21, 1685.
@andreasisenberg87004 ай бұрын
It is so nice to see how you share my taste! Yes, you are right: I am studying Pachelbel's keyboard works and I like his style very much indeed. Although even I wouldn't go as far as to consider J. S. Bach as the "alpha and omega" of all music, I would consider him and several other composers of his time (Händel, Zelenka, Rameau, the two Scarlattis, Vivaldi and lesser known ones like Wassenaer) as the "alpha", that is, the beginning of music in its highest form. But though Pachelbel belonged to an earlier generation, I don't find him "prehistoric" in any way. And since he was very close to Johann Sebastian Bach's family, I am quite sure J.S. Bach was introduced very thoroughly to Pachelbel's compositions. In other words, I presume that Pachelbel had a very strong influence upon J.S. Bach.

@OrzoMondo4 ай бұрын
I am always amazed by Scarlatti. He was after all Neapolitan, and Naples was run by the Spaniards at that time, plus he spent half of his productive years in Spain. It is amazing what kind of exposure to musical ideas he had. Flamenco, for one. It's like "Latin Catholic meets German Lutheran" :)

@andreasisenberg87004 ай бұрын
Thank you! To answer your question, it's not only about playing without errors, but more importantly to get the most inspired version. In this case, I took the first part from one "take" and cut the second part from another "take" that was errorless, but which first part wasn't as good as the one I chose. Then I joined the two.
