B. Marcello: recorder sonata G Maj., Op.2 n.5

[@millennial8441]

Beautiful piece, well played. This Recorder Sonata Op. 2/5 appears, published in 1732 in London, as the number 12 of "XII Solos for German Flute or Violin (...)Opera Primo".

[@recorderson]

Wow. Thanks for the information and the compliments. In fact, the sonata is really beautiful, like all the ones in Opus XII ;)

[@francelinomarcondes7976]

You are absolutely amazing. I look up to you!!

[@recorderson]

Thanks for all. You're really kind 😉

Bravissimo Ernesto!!

[@recorderson]

Thanks a lot ! Indeed, I love expecially the slow mvts, with their wonderful lyricism.

[@recorderson]

@FugaStretta PS: thanks also for adding this video between your favorites ;)

[@recorderson]

1000 thanks for the compliment & the kindness !

[@champgal7823]

Truly lovely! Thank you.

[@recorderson]

+Champ Gal Thanks to You for your courtesy ;)

[@recorderson]

Thank you ! Indeed the composition is beatiful. And you're very very kind ;)

[@recorderson]

Thank you ! I love especially the slow mvts! Benedetto Marcello defined himself a 'dilettante'. But is was really a Prince of the music ;)

[@recorderson]

Thanks for your kindness. I'm proud that You like it. !

[@recorderson]

Grazie Stefano! Sei davvero gentilissimo. In effetti proprio nel secondo movimento avevo avuto qualche problema di 'intasamento', specialmente nel secondo ritornello ;)

[@recorderson]

You are beatiful ! ;-)

[@globalarte]

SAD beginning . but i like t towards the end..

[@stefanoslataper100]

Bellissima voce! Nel secondo movimento, poi, controlli molto bene l'umidità dello strumento (che però diventa un filino opachetto)

[@recorderson]

Thanks a lot for your kind compliment. My name is Ernesto, but do not tell anyone ;)))

[@recorderson]

Grazie ! Sei gentile come sempre ;)

[@hokurin]

i got the same piece of music thanks to you. know i find it a bit difficult to read the old style and i do not understand one bit. what does the w means at the end of every line. it is placed in a different position an i do not really understand its meaning. thanks. by the way very good. these pieces are great. thanks for the link...

[@recorderson]

Thanks. Indeed, the first mvt is a bit sad ;-) This sonata, as almost all the others of Opus 2, is in church form (slow-fast-slow-fast), a typical baroque form, opposed to the chamber (fast-slow-fast). Now, looking at the video, i see that i play the slow mvts in the dark! An inconscious choice ? ;-))

[@recorderson]

Well! The original prints are a bit difficult at the start, but it is only a matter of habit. Still have a great charm and, above all, allow you to play more faithful to the intentions of the composer; all is easier than it looks. Thus, the w at the end of each line indicate simply .. the end of the line! The inverted L are the quarter rests .... With regard to midi files, I made them by myself. I'll write on your channel.

[@recorderfan]

and also some other symbols maybe i am a bit silly but the modern version are a lot easier to understand. i do not understand some other symbols like that inverted L symbol (i believe is a very short note) but still not sure. i really like these pieces but i trully have a problem reading them, still there are older pieces written in an even older way that i sort of gave up because is just to difficult and i mean to read not to play..

[@recorderfan]

sorry and the last question do you get the midi in the same website. thanks
