BADINERIE by Bach: How to play | Team Recorder

[@marvinlorenz6849]

Thanks KZbin recommendations... I dont even play recorder, but i will watch this now

[@dr37295]

I’ve played in an only recorder orquestra as a soprano soloist since I was 12 , for more tan 10 years and this song drove so me completely mad that I almost quit playing, until today is still the most difficult piece I have ever played. When people tell me recorder is easy I always play this and prove them wrong

[@thpeti]

Me too. Badinerie on my alto, in original (B-minor) pitch. Sometimes, when I was invited as a guest... And they know me just an electrical engineer and computer nerd... and someone tries to play a recorder like ... Like Mr.Bean ... "Gimme' that toy instrument... " ... badinerie played in tempo ... "woow" :-)))

[@xDamage69]

i'm trying to learn this right now on the flute and i'm ripping my hair off, i think this is one of the pieces that everyone wants to play at least once and with good reason, top tier music composition

just found my opa's old flute in the basement, you're channel is an absolutw godsend. Thank you for your hard work and for allowing me to reconnect with my roots.

[@juanfonseca788]

Thanks, Sarah Jeffery for publishing this, I mean it. As a mere amateur player, I have spent years practicing the wrong scores and your videos finally allowed me to make some progress. Covid-19 is a little easier to digest by playing the Badinerie! You really are democratizing the musical knowledge to the mortals.

Thanks Sarah, so interesting and informative. As always, it's incredible how much you teach in a short video! I'd like to see you incorporate the 'pick-up-put-down' method into a concert performance, just for an extra flourish, LOL

[@robertopalmigiani1090]

Straordinaria e sempre chiarissima! Complimenti! 👏👏👏

[@Tortualex]

Arranging this to recorder was in my mind since a lot oftime, I like to play it in F minor because that's the lowest key that it can be played on a soprano recorder and I find that version pretty easy.

[@jcortese3300]

I think Bach's flute stuff must be like 99% of why people buy voice flutes. :-)

I am completely enjoying your recorder videos! I played oboe decades ago and thought the recorer would be fun for homeschooling lessons. It has been so much more fun because your videos really have helped me moving along in remember what to do and to feel inspired to search out more I can do! (No the Badinerie yet!! lol) Thank you!!

[@aless792004]

Pretty nice video ! I love this music.

[@wadrianalefe6490]

Hey, Sarah!! First, you are an inspiration for me as a musician. I am a violinist but all your videos I've seen have given me a lot. And as a violinist I'd like to opine about Framco's transcription. He used to wirte a lot of violin cadenzas (his famous are mostly for Mozart's violin concertos) and it is always something sort of virtuosistic, so for a violinist that kind of fits, but I do think his arrangement for this Bach's piece is exaggerated as a baroque piece, but is more of a violinistic virtuoso approach, almost turning that into a show off piece

[@hakanaxlund4316]

Really enjoyed this. Love this piece with Bach it’s so beautiful. I don’t play the flute or the recorder (play the guitar) but very much liked your approach. Thanks a lot.

[@Squishii_Cloud]

Never have I thought that TTTTTHING could ever sound good

[@beatrizarrutis3669]

I learned this a number of years ago, I think it was for an exam maybe... surprised I can't remember whether it was that or not, but my teacher was certainly keen on me doing it! Great advice here for getting it awesome. I should pick it up again because it really is a fabulous piece.

Thanks, Sarah! You know, some of those tips are actually helping me on piano ;)

[@Dhha]

Hi. What a cool explanation. I used to play the recorder as a kid (in a very VERY amateur level) but I still keep my recorders (a soprano and an alto). Then I studied piano and composition (but..well...I'm not doing music right now...). Anyway, I really enjoyed your video and loved your accent (I'm not a native english speaker). Greetings from Caracas, Venezuela.

[@carloschneidergraziosi7178]

Thank you, Sarah!

[@daviydviljoen9318]

The entire suite is already in B Minor, so if you wanted to perform this on recorder, and still stay true to the original you could use different recorders: 1. Overture - Tenor Recorder. 2. Rondeau - Tenor (But you can use an Alto if you want.) 3. Sarabande Tenor (Again you could use alto.) 4. Bourée - Tenor 5. Polonaise - Alto (Only use Tenor or Sorano if you are comfortable with the extended range) 6. Minuet - Tenor 7. Battinerie - Alto I'd alternate between instruments, just because I think that's a fun thing to do. (I'm by no means an expert, I only own a resin Yamaha Soprano and Alto, I still need to get a Tenor and Bass recorder).

[@PKLevel99]

cooool tip

[@daviydviljoen9318]

@@PKLevel99 I think Salieri would also agree...

[@jeannebouwman1970]

You could also use a voice flute for the badinerie, it would fit exactly

[@jswack]

Very nice playing and a wonderful presentation. A few comments (I’m a traverso player who also plays recorder). It’s likely that the piece was originally composed in A minor with a violin as the soloist. There are signs of this on the autograph parts. Second, the passage in the Badinerie with the E-sharp-F-sharp alteration is awkward and hard to tune on the traverso, very unidiomatic. The rest of the piece isn’t difficult to play on traverso but that one passage is a killer, especially the tempo is really fast (it is a badinerie, after all, and doesn’t need to go as extremely fast as some people play it, especially on modern flute.

[@BevMattocks]

Oh man those 64th notes or whatever the three flagged ones are my nemesis

[@huyvivian4083]

Hi Sarah, at the moment, I am working a version of the Badinerie for three recorders (SAT) of Martin Nitz, published by Moeck ZfS 704. it is in fact an arragement of only a part of the Badinerie but really fun to play ... and not really easy. Continue your videos, even the old onces can be interesting .

[@pregart001]

You're right. It suits the soprano frecorder in A minor. But the alto recorder better suits D minor. Better fingering and intonation. Besides, in B minor on an alto recorder it sounds too low. In D minor, it will sound louder and brighter.

[@johnotoole6765]

There is a great recording of this piece by the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble with their tuba player (John Fletcher,I think) playing the lead. A must hear

Great and useful. Thanks to this video, I am having good progress with BWV 1067 (using alto, H moll). Running a bit out of topic, but still talking about H-moll....what about a video on BWV 1030, with a special focus at the fugue (third movement)? I am studying it still with the alto, using the original key signature... It's driving me crazy, it's as wonderful as difficult. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sarah! Thank you for this fantastic video. I would like to get this piece. It is beautiful! By the way, I am playing easier pieces to the recorder because I am a beginner. However I am playing the Tenor Recorder in the C clef, the Alto Recorder in the G clef playing the E lowest note (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) in the space of the thirth lower line, the Soprano Recorder in the brand new D clef and the Sopranino in the brand new A clef.

[@andreamundt]

If you play it on the alto it´s very beautiful and comfortable in c minor! (practising right now....) (having fun) :D

[@ElsweyrDiego]

what kind of music you should be playing well to try to take Badinerie? (i finished both sweet pipes books and monkemeyer book 1 - everything on soprano, is it enough or it's too hard for me yet?)

[@juliestevens6931]

I used to play a lot of hymns on the piano and hated sharps. I would transpose the hymns to use flats. It took me years to realize I was transposing. I have no idea what key they were originally in or what key I was transposing them to, but it became automatic after a while. I would rather play 5 flats than 2 sharps (or whatever).

[@giuseppeT8091]

I would like to point out that the version in B minor (see link) presents two errors in the second sixteenth note at bar 18 and 37

[@giuseppeT8091]

why not play in d minor with the alto recorder?

[@annette6445]

Hi Sarah, can you recommend a book or notes to practice barok ornamentations? I have 2 months of summer holidays from my recorder lessons and thought it might be a good idea to practice those. I might not feel like a rabbit in the head lights of a car next time I should perform them.

[@eloycortinez2769]

with e minor fingerings and a sixth flute you can play it on the original key :)

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

so are you reading the music as though playing an alto? I thought that you could just play the alto as though playing the soprano in a minor, then the high B becomes an E etc, but the entire piece is lower in pitch of course, except no difficult fingerings.

[@eloycortinez2769]

@@honeychurchgipsy6 with a d recorder you can read the original flute part in bass clef with alto fingerings (taking two sharps out) that will sound in the original flute key. so for instance if you have to perform with strings, no arrangement is needed.

[@zuditaka]

You'll have to do a little 'corder lesson on Handel's *The Harmonious Blacksmith* . That would be fun! ;D

But with the alto, if you want B minor to come out, you have to transpose the notes in F sharp minor, do you transpose on the fly with the score in B minor?... Answer: finger positions are renamed - I'm reading a transcription in F sharp minor for the horns in F :-)
