This (the entire project, not just this piece) is a significant contribution to humanity.

Agreed, even after 6 years of your comment

There is so much ornamentation! I love trills, mordants, turns, and any other kind of ornamentation in music. I think it really adds beauty in a unique way.

Sem sombra de dúvida ums dos melhores compositores do mundo sensibilidade e elegância

[@migblamquartz67]

Com certeza, suas obras são muito variadas, mas todas são de uma beleza impar

[@migblamquartz67]

The siciliano is one of my favorite "secound moviments" ever. Is just so beautful what the strings do. And all the phrases from harpsichord looks a lirical singing about a deep theme, such a spiritual piece. Thank you for your great Job Gerubach, hugs from Brazil

[@ianjammes2908]

The siciliano is sublime! Gerubach, thank you so much! Also, I like how the red bar pauses over grace notes!

siciliano is stunning

Genial!!!! The great Johann Sebastian!!!

[@shaundruid6244]

ty for all your hard work posting these this is awesome

[@jamesneumann5561]

The cool-ness of the Addams Family combined in dark harmony with the warmth of the Munsters, this masterpiece from the grand master himself, Johann Sebastian, reminds me of the inevitable gloominess of this life, and counsels me just to forget about everything and let the great Mr Bach allow us all drift away peacefully into oblivion. Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.

[@LucianoTamietto]

Thank you for these invaluable scores and choice of music !

[@nathancross6413]

I had awaited for this, and alas, it's here.

[@gerubach]

Enjoy it Nathan! So beautiful is this concerto. I was very impressed with Mr. Pinnock's elaborations in the keyboard part on the Da Capo sections in movements 1 & 3. More to come!

[@maxbuskirk5302]

Why alas though?

[@HyShroomOfficial]

@@maxbuskirk5302 I think that, perhaps, he is confused as to the meaning of "alas": an exclamation of grief. He could be meaning "at long last", in which he could have seen similarities: "At long LASt."

What a beautiful constructed piece of music.

Wow so amazing first mov. is from the cantata BWV 2xx something just love su much, thank u gerubach

[@denizozaydin_]

It is from BWV 169's first movement.

[@Whatismusic123]

I love the first movement, like beethoven's 18th sonata, it is so cheerful and motivated in it's first movement

[@osmosys808]

I read that half of Bach's works were lost. I hope that's not true :(

Pense que sus conciertos serían más difíciles de interpretar que sus tocattas o sus fugas para clavecin solo, pero viendo la partitura de este concierto veo que es al reves.

[@tigger3496]

Can anyone tell me what music he didn't use counterpoint to compose?

[@Braybaroque]

Some Toccatas, some French Dances. Quite a few pieces actually. Sorry too busy now another day will copy here a list.

[@jeanparke9373]

Many of the chorales... lol

[@korbilicious]

@@Braybaroque it's been 3 years lol

[@MattiaFormichetti]

@@Braybaroque yeah... Still waiting 😂

[@acrid8952]

Flute partita is monophonic. The chorales are mostly homophonic. Recitatives are just continuo against voice. Cello suites have double stops but otherwise are monophonic. Preludes have implied counterpoint but no real melodic development.

[@allhailalona]

i like your channel

[@wesleyexlipce7726]

Excellent song:D

[@johnraskopf907]

Quick question: at 3:46 (the downbeat after the half notes), the + of beat two. Where is the g sharp? I hear it as a divisi in the violin 2 part (as opposed to going to the d natural). Is this right?

[@johnraskopf907]

Never mind. It's in the cembalo!

[@KKIcons]

Does anyone happen to know the bpm of the various movements? I am trying to match it up with another performance to play along with it. Btw, for this purpose it is really helpful to have 2 performances that basically stick to the chosen tempo for the movement. It is hard to adjust the speed of the player constantly while playing so that the scrolling will match. But, it is kind of cool that it is possible at all, really. Super fun to play along while it is scrolling, and a great immersive learning experience.

[@musicyh]

I don't think Bach actually indicated bpm in his manuscript. The concept of exact bpm didn't really exist until Czerny. Before that, it was just general words (e.g. Allegro, Grave, Presto, Largo, etc.) that indicated a ballpark range of suitable tempos. It is also pretty much impossible to find any human recordings of the music that stick to one exact bpm per movement - you'd need to use computerized midi audio instead, because human performances naturally have an organic flexibility to communicate mood, phrasing, highlight special figurations in the melody, special harmonies, etc. That flexibility needs to be there in order for it to sound like music. Without it, it just sounds like rigid, metronomic pitches that don't make any sense. Baroque music was also much more flexible than we modern players have been taught to think of.

[@keescanalfp5143]

knowing the bpm number will cost you just one minute plus doing one division/multiply sum. you could 1) note the starting time point in seconds, 2) note the bar number ‘reached’ so to speak exactly 60 seconds after that starting time, and multiply the number of measures by the numerator of the time signature. (in 6/8 or 3/8, you'd better take 2, or 1, instead of 6 or 3.) practice this three or four times with different pieces to get safer in it, by chance verify with your metronome, and there you are.

[@sedona3495]

Without tempo indication=Allegro

[@keescanalfp5143]

think you might mean: tempo ordinario ?

[@ForcedRejection]

Music finally starts at 00:23. Use Christine Schornsheim performance instead. Oh sorry, Thanks for uploading too, Appreciated.

[@nachocheeba]

Listening to this at 0.75 speed turns it into an entirely different piece.

[@algr1887]

Hello Gerubach, Thanks for posting all these excellent videos. Following the score and also sometimes the original hand-written music is fascinating. Nothing comes close to Bach's music, and you obviously have a passion for it and have no doubt spent a lot of time making these great videos. I have noted recently that you seem to be favoring harpsichord more than piano recordings. I know the harpsichord is more authentic. However, I have several musical friends who agree with me that harpsichord music is fine for occasional brief listening, but I find myself turning it off after 20 minutes or so, even when it's one of Bach's best items. The piano, on the other hand, I listen to every day without ever getting tired of it. I have everything Gould recorded, and I listen to it all frequently, except for the harpsichord disks which I have never even ripped to my music collection. Anyway, I just wondered if you had considered what effect the instrument choice might have on the popularity and enjoyment of your unique and beautifully produced videos. I would be playing your video's one after another on my home theater if there were a way to filter for preferred instruments. Anyway, just a suggestion.

[@gerubach]

Please forgive my late response algr1. I've been hard at work on the 4th Harpsichord concerto and took a very brief break because my eyes are starting to hurt. I'm sorry I don't post more piano music. Performance preference is the one true difficulty this project has encountered. There are so many recordings of Bach's music (and all other composers as well) that, at times, I wish I had the power to animate them all. But, alas!, I am only one person with a particular taste towards the plucky and often annoying harpsichord. But please forgive me... I love that plucky and often annoying sound. I truly wish I could please everyone but that is impossible. However, there are others who are starting to scroll music now. It's just a matter of time when Glenn Gould's masterful and historic recordings will become available in a scrolling format. Once again, my sincere apologies.

[@Nooticus]

Someone know more about this composition? I m not great expert of immense Bach's compositions but this 1053 make me impression that it is something special in musical path of the autor. Someone know about it?

[@johanngottliebgoldberg1055]

It was originally written by Bach as a Oboe Concerto. There are quite a bit of recordings of it on KZbin. Look "BWV 1053R" up. It is a reconstructed version of this concerto.

[@jacktheflyboy]

Same melodies as BWV 169 and BWV 49

[@ForcedRejection]

wow! the ratio of strings volume to Harpsichord Volume is pretty bad for a professionally published and released Product. sorry. damn it, sorry .. its just that theres something wrong with like 99% of all youtube videos. Appreciate the upload, heh

[@jamjam9253]

Its just the fact that a string ensemble is louder than a harpsichord.

[@Nooticus]

rude much

[@geoffstemen3652]

This piece is just Handel in a fake mustache

[@Philobach]

ça n a rien avoir avoir haendel. déjà en l ecoutant par glenn gould au piano, ça ne sonne déjà plus baroque. et puis il y a une inventivité mélodique et écriture qu on ne trouve pas comme ça dans haendel.

it is a little handel-esque isnt it!
