If Weiss had left us with music for orchestra, voices, or keyboard, he would be routinely mentioned along with Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi. If he is not, it is likely because lute music is, today, not easily accessible to the musical public, except on recordings, such as these. Still, Barto's playing is outstanding in all respects and a pleasure to hear.

[@DieFlabbergast]

Weiss was a lutenist - Bach was an all-round musician and composer: there is a world of difference. We have no way of knowing if Weiss was capable of writing music for anything other than the lute. The fact that he seems not even to have tried argues that he couldn't, and recognised it: he knew his strength and did not stray outside it. Chopin is a similar case: his piano music reaches the greatest heights possible, but his few attempts at orchestral writing are unimpressive.

[@sameash3153]

@@DieFlabbergast He actually *did* try. We know from written accounts that he composed a small amount of chamber music with strings, but these pieces are unfortunately lost today. Weiss obviously has intimate music theory knowledge or he wouldn't be able to compose such masterful counterpoint. It is very likely that he had familiarity with keyboard, though he wrote no music for it (this is also true of composers like Vivaldi or Corelli). It is unfortunate that his only surviving music is for the lute, but this is for obvious reasons, he was ultimately a damn fine lutenist.

[@brodycates8472]

@@ofsabir sorry if im misunderstanding what you mean by secular works. Yes, a lot of what he wrote was not meant for use in worship services and what not, but bach said that God was the inspiration and the exaltation of God was the meaning of all his works. idk but we can enjoy his music no matter what our background is :)

[@zaurike]

@@ofsabir While Bach wrote both religious and secular music, it was his religious music, including the cantatas and the passions, that fell out of popularity until Mendelssohn "resurrected" it, kicking off the Bach renaissance that has continued ever since (he premiered the first modern performance of Bach's St. Matthew passion, for instance). Bach's secular music, on the contrary, remained continually popular among musicians, composers, and pedagogues alike, never really falling out of fashion. As Bach was a faithful individual, all of his music could technically be considered spiritual.

I had been where you are re obnoxious ad-interruptions - & resent not so much paying for wonderful music as being the passive object of "push" marketing. The various ad blockers work unreliably. By chance, I tried Opera browser, for different reasons; it seems to block ads consistently. I'm told the same is true of the browser Brave. We should spend our money buying audio CD's, or downloads that we own (not rent); we should also respect YT in running ads that a.) are inserted before/after compositions; & b.) are chosen to bear some relation to the expected tastes & interests of, in our case, listeners to classical music. Personally, I have yet to see any statistical evidence that push marketing & big-data spying actually increases sales revenue to various manufacturers &/or vendors of any product or service.
