Bravo! I love Bach. Thanks for the string crossing tips, and importance of balance. I noticed the violin behind you in the class case was lighting up 2 small lights, as you were playing!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Me too Terry! I always enjoy coming back to Bach in whatever level I am. It's funny about the lights, I had no idea :)

[@vintagebluesmann]

[@mocheford]

Great ! I really think you should make a special playlist for this piece. Thanks Joy !

[@JoyLeeViolin]

I think you are right !

Have you also played the edition that George Enescu was famous for? The Russian violinists like Heifetz, Milstein, Kogan, etc seem to prefer that one and I am trying to learn that one

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Hi Jeff, when I study Bach, I like to work with manuscript as I want to understand what Bach wanted. But Enescu was a fantastic violinist, and I would be interested in his ideas as well.

Thanks so much, Joy. I have the Edition Peters and it shows the Arpeggios "spelled out". The section you played here is pretty clear, but afterwards, the bowing changes and in the Edition Peters it shows three notes repeated, which I am not hearing when I listen to recordings. Can you please break down the different sections for us? Best wishes, Dirk and greetings from Berlin, Germany.

[@JoyLeeViolin]

You're most welcome Dirk. I'll try to make a video about it. Please keep in mind that there might take a while as there is a long list of requested video topics. Thank you and warm greetings back to you from Toronto, Canada.

I fully understand the chaconne after having studied the basic chords and that these chord are constantly repeating like a loop. In my opinion chaconnes from the 1600s show better what a chaconne actually is. They don't have such fast and complicated phrasing. The chaconne was meant for dancing and this should be to hear. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqm8fZemhNWknNk Sometimes I'm asking myself whether Bach was actually interested in what a chaconne actually is. I think he blurred it too much. Maybe he didn't like the real chaconne character? But I do like other kinds of pieces by Bach.

[@channelterminatedanddead]

Oh, here's a chaconne-air by an older relative of J. S. Bach, Johann Christoph Bach, which is soooo beautiful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIurm2t7dtOZa6M I love the version played be the baroque violinist Reinhard Goebel better, who is really unmatched in many points. Sadly he got fokal distonia which can develop by practicing too hard. I danced quite some chaconnes and this here would be great for dancing baroque dance! Last year a book about Bach's family came out here in Germany and it's like time traveling through the 1600s and early 1700s. I hope they will soon translate it to other languages, so people can read it all over the world. It's like time traveling to the Bach family and having fun with them.

| g | D | Eb |D4/D/D| The chords of Johann Christoph Bach's chaconne. I tried to involve Cminor but I listened to every note in the Goebel version and it goes really straight form Eb to D. The 4 is just a quart added, which is sort of spice which makes it more interesting and colorful. Yes, this chord sequence is making me wanna dance even at my spinet. The chaconne drive is simply in it, although I play nothing but the chords to later back my violin. Other harpsichordists could play it much better, but the drive is just naturally there. Fascinating, I admire Johann Christoph Bach a lot.

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Very interesting. I lived in Bach's region for 4 years, in Weimar Thueringen

[@channelterminatedanddead]

My mother was from Thüringen and ran away to the west when they started to build the wall. So you studied music here in Germany! Now I have to show you the book I was talking about: www.rowohlt.de/hardcover/volker-hagedorn-bachs-welt.html Normally I read almost nothing but original authors from the 1600s and 1700s, like Handel's Hamburger friend Johann Mattheson, but this book impressed me so deeply--it's like a real time travel. It's like you pay a visit to the Bach family to befriend them. I have to admit, I had a bad conscience, having written all this, but I'm really a huge fan of the chaconne. I couldn't help doing it. I'd like to listen into more of them and figure out their chords, but right now I practice so much on violin. Who does know these days, it was fashionable in Europe to dance the chaconne with castanets by women? At least still until 1717 when dancing master Taubert wrote it in his book.
