Really lovey performance of a piece I need to get to know better. I especially enjoyed the "rustic" phrase in the B section. Rameau rocks!

Glad you agree!! Thanks for commenting!

[@MarkHewis]

one day you going to have explain when you decide to use upper versus low keyboard, Love this this. So 'bouncy'- except when you want to give it a bit of density! Genius.

[@ElaineComparone]

Nice of you to use the word "genius", which I ain't!! I just practiced that music a lot. When a piece has repeats, I try to vary the repeat as much as possible. Like first time around maybe both hands downstairs and second time around, both hands upstairs. Sometimes I use the downstairs keyboard for the melody and the upper serves as a kind of accompaniment. Depends on how I set the instrument up dynamically. I have three sets of strings, and I can use them as I please. The composers at that time didn't give any indication of which keyboard or what colors the player should use. That's why I like the old stuff. You have to use your imagination to play it in an interesting way!

[@MarkHewis]

@@ElaineComparone Thanks for that so you can set the sound for each keyboard.

[@ElaineComparone]

@@MarkHewis That's right!
