Yes! Wonderful! Thank you for this! Again, great work and a very great talent. I love this solo rendition of this, my favorite Bach piece.

[@broquemusician]

Compared to the original version of BWV 1052 that I posted, which one do you prefer?

[@seanneal9406]

Yes! Wonderful! Thank you for this! Again, great work and a very great talent. I love this solo rendition of this, my favorite Bach piece.

[@BeansFreak]

Bro's gonna light the keys on fire with these Bach renditions 🔥🔥

[@adriennedeleon451]

Bravo! Brava! I distinctly remember you playing me a third of this piece many moons ago on piano, and it's so cool to hear it full realized and on Harpsichord no less! Sounds fantastic 👏🏼

[@adriennedeleon451]

Also I love the little additions you added to make it unique 👍🏼

[@AdamKoi]

Also, Chromatic Fantasy BWV 903 and the 3rd Movement of BWV 1060 are great pieces, and I adore them. :)

[@sketchyschematic]

Amazing work.

[@broquemusician]

Thanks for watching!

[@AdamKoi]

I am glad you made a new recording of the same piece, you were way more consistent tempowise, made less mistakes, and understood the piece better than before. Congrats, pls keep on posting new things!

[@broquemusician]

This means so much to me. I will try to post something every week. The issue I’m running into right now is the harpsichord in my room (different harpsichord) needs to be revoiced completely before I can use it for any music videos. Revoicing is a huge project in itself because it determines how each key sounds by shaping the piece of crow feather that plucks the strings. I think I will start a technician playlist and make some videos on my process of revoicing. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this instrument until recently. It’s now my favorite instrument with accordion. What is your music background and how did you hear about harpsichord?

[@fredfredo219]

​@@broquemusician I would love to see Videos of revoicinig! Awesome performance btw i listened to the first version so much, love to see the progress

[@GabrielSantos-qe9lu]

Incrível, amei sua articulação!

[@yourfavebrendan]

I'm so happy you released this! I was just watching your other solo version the other day. This one is so different and I appreciate nuance in the different parts that you emphasized in this performance.

[@broquemusician]

This comment makes my day. I did make some intentional changes and I am so glad you notice them. My favorite changes are--- 3:42-3:55, slightly delaying the chords/ 4:51, holding that base note for as long as possible/ 4:55, ornamentation added. Please let me know if that sounds about right because if there was something else it may have been on accident xD.

[@yourfavebrendan]

@@broquemusician Yes, those are some of them. Like some of the others here, I really enjoyed you adding the trills you did. I also like that it seems more intentional in general. You are clearly making conscious choices to highlight certain sounds and I love it. It's so fun to hear it your way and catch certain passages that I often don't pay as much attention to.

[@Aristede]

Excellent!

[@broquemusician]

First comment! I love it xD. I really appreciate your support. What is your favorite organ/keyboard song?

[@julietjones7376]

Wonderful! So glad this popped to the top of my feed. In awe of your talent, and that is a beautiful instrument you are playing.

[@thomasbones592]

This is absolutely incredible, fantastic work. Thank you for upload

[@broquemusician]

I’m currently working on many new videos simultaneously and learning a new editing software that can edit left and right audios. So far it’s just been iMovie and iPhone camera and mics HAHA. Thank you for your support so early on in this channel!

[@CMVray]

Much improved over the old version. Articulation is much better and more consistent which is the most important aspect of the harpsichord technique in my opinion. Well done! I would really like to listen to your renditions of D. Scarlatti and J. K. F. Fischer pieces

[@broquemusician]

I am extremely new to harpsichord music so if you have any recommended pieces of scarlatti or fischer please let me know! I haven't heard of Fischer just now thank you for commenting!

[@kerryberland2847]

Beautiful! Thanks very much for posting this! Best wishes from West Chicago, Illinois, USA.

[@broquemusician]

This instrument lived in Chicago for many years. I also lived in chicago for 1 year! :) Thank you for supporting my channel at such an early stage. I will be doing this full time. I am currently learning a video editor that allows me to edit both left and right audio. So far everything has been filmed and edited on imovie HAHA....

[@albertobalana7461]

Queremos más. Muchas gracias !

[@MootPoot]

Playing is super clean and that harpsichord is awesome, thanks for this. Also your audio in this version sounds better

[@broquemusician]

I experimented a lot with what angle sounds the best, the instrument overall all is much better, and I also used a tripod instead of a cameraman this time so the mic wasn’t blocked. The sound was from the (right) side facing iPhone that was filming. Lots of factors played into the better sound quality however, my final goals to achieve “perfect” sound quality is to eventually buy a $2000 XLR microphone that will capture the “exact” sound quality coming out of the instrument. Ideally you need two XLR microphones, one for the base and one for the treble side but even one will be magnitudes better than an iPhone mic. Also I should have played on 8’ or 8’8’ instead of 8’8’4’, this would have made the sound much more clear. I’m going to post a video about this very soon. Thank you so much for commenting!

[@dancingcloud8901]

Bravo

[@broquemusician]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@nerokcubreva]

this is really super. great ornamentation

[@broquemusician]

Thank you! I came up with some of them (like on 4:55 and 5:47)

[@dazmindleon]

Broque you inspire me now to play this on the Harpischord. I think both versions are great this is so 🔥🔥

[@broquemusician]

oooooooooo, I'm so curious if you have any preference on which video was better xD (sound/visuals) i think the two videos are very different. I never expect to inspired this many people just from a few videos I edited on an iphone HAHA. I will work really hard to get some XLR mics and post some higher quality videos and new songs!! Thank you so much for your comment. Please feel free to ask me anything at anytime. :) Do you currently have a harpsichord? How long have you played harpsichord for? I just recently started for about a year. I grew up with piano but quit for 6-10 years. I love harpsichord more than piano now.

[@rgl1969]

Maravilhoso! Tocar desse jeito é um dom divino....parabéns! Você é um grande músico! Sou apaixonado pelo cravo

wow..

[@shortbird774]

Love this concerto and how you play it. Best wishes from Munich, Bavaria.

[@broquemusician]

THANK YOU!! I will visit Munich one day. I am actually learning German right now. If you have any recommendation especially baroque music events or resturants or anything at all, please let me know :) thank you so much for all of your support.

[@shortbird774]

My personal recommendation: if you are a good swimmer, have a jump into the "Eisbach" behind the "Haus der Kunst" on a warm or hot summerday and just swim with all the others. Real fun. Eisbach videos on YT available. Than visit the Chinese Tower Beergarden for eating and drinking a beer. The best baroque music event in Munich of course is me practicing Bach fugues😆. Not really. Actually for this please look at the programms in the internet.

[@broquemusician]

@@shortbird774 HAHAHA, let me know when tickets to your performance are available. Thank you for the recommendations I will look forward to that and your concerts.

[@shortbird774]

Because of the abnormal quality of my concerts ticket prices might exceed the 20 euro cent threshold. So please think about this carefully.

[@broquemusician]

@@shortbird774 I may be a “broque musician” but I think I’ll be able to come up 20 euro cents xD.

[@ohtligarcia600]

wow! such passion!

[@M.B.331]

Very good performance! 🎵🎼🎹🎶 Are you the same person who plays Vivaldi on the accordion? It's an amazing arrangement of his music... I'm waiting for the full 4 seasons! 😃

[@broquemusician]

I am the same person! I am glad are interested in the full version of 4 season. I arrange all of my accordion pieces. I completed the three movements for winter and 2 movements for summer. It is a tedious project since I am typing my own arrangement from the original orchestra manuscript. But I will finish it, especially with someone who is already interested xD (thank you). Do you have a preference on which instrument the 4 seasons video should be on? Solo Accordion Solo Harpsichord or a mix of both? Duets?

[@M.B.331]

I would prefer a version for accordion 🪗 because it sounds almost like an orchestra. I think also a duo with the harpsichord might be an interesting option. 🎹 My favourite instrument is actually the clavichord. 🎵🎹🎼🎶

[@M.B.331]

I found this musician who plays the winter with a different accordion:🎼 m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4jQeXqgh5iajcU&pp=ygUedml2YWxkaSBmb3VyIHNlYXNvbnMgYWNjb3JkaW9u I found almost all the parts of the 4 seasons. This accordion sounds very good, I don't know if it's only available in Russia or other Eastern European countries. 🎶

[@dredonkey]

Awesome, I like how you used the stop in the middle of the piece to change the sound. 👏 Did you make this arrangement yourself?

[@broquemusician]

Yes I did arrange this. In my other video, @Ben-kv7wr commented that I needed more ornamentation and accidentals, so I came up with these new trills and stop changes. Compared to my original video of BWV1052, which video do you prefer?

[@dredonkey]

@@broquemusician I prefer this one.

Great work sir!

Folia de españa

@@rgl1969 Existem muitas versões de la folia. Toquei la folia de Vivaldi na flauta doce e no violino. Vou investigar "Folia de españa by Scarlatti". Você gostaria de um dueto de violino com cravo ou um solo de cravo? There are many versions of la folia. I have played vivaldi's la folia on recorder and violin. I will look into "Folia de españa by Scarlatti". Would you like a harpsichord/violin duet or harpsichord solo?

[@nerokcubreva]

it would be awesome to hear the third movemtent

[@broquemusician]

The third movement sounds magical on harpsichord, it is usually overpowered by orchestra in my opinion that's why i prefer solo or duet. I'm learning a new video editor that allows for both left and right audio. Will be posting more videos and the third movement soon. Thank you for commenting!

[@franalevg]

Please, play the third movement, I would like to hear them by you because I liked your old video of this concert

[@broquemusician]

Okay I will! I love the third movement! For the record, do you prefer this video or the original version? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZirooBjeKyKjc0si=qvBExTAATMmLHB9U

[@franalevg]

@@broquemusician In the original version i look the playing with more passion despite the mistakes, in this new version i hear a more careful rendition

[@broquemusician]

Thank you for your observations! The first video I was excited to play harpsichord for the first/second time and was just playing. The second video I had more pressure to improve and add ornamentation and use more harpsichord technique and less piano. You are onto something.
