[@tremblence]

Bach, despite being "well known" was not as famous at his time, his complex counterpoint stuff was over most people's heads, and only fully appreciated centuries later This song is what I'd call medium complexity, since its mostly a bass and melody, more digestable than a lot of his more complex stuff Of course Air in G is less complex, still unique distinct and amazing but easier to digest and understand....... I have synesthesia which helps me see notes as colors, so Bach music is extremely complex to experience the emotions/colors ... I love his music but at times I wished certain notes and chords were held for longer than .2 seconds

Very beautiful and skilled interpretation of very demanding music and instrument ! Let me answer to some posts and give a little knowledge about Lute : Most people heredown wonder why guitar replaced lute: that's not the case, they co-existed and were often played together. The baroque guitar was small instrument, very nicely ornamented, with 5 to 6 double cords; the lute comes from the arabic "oud", had 7 double strings at end of middle-age, then 8 to 10 at renaissance, then up to 15 strings (archilute, theorbo) in late 17th cent. with a very long (up to 2 meters) neck for bass strings. She plays on a "baroque lute" double strings, with a small neck for bass, and a specific tuning. Bach and Weiss wrote for baroque lute. Basically you play with left hand only the upper 6 strings, like a guitar (although it's not the same tuning), and you play the open bass strings with your right hand thumb. Before electronic devices it was, indeed, a nightmare to tune, not only due to number of strings, but due to "temperament issue" (another long and complex story) ; people used to joke against us saying that "lutenist spend half of the evening tuning their instrument, and the other half playing false !" Regarding the cost, it seems that Evangelina plays with gut strings, and that's very expensive and very fragile... but SOOOO beautiful. Most players use nylon strings and a complete set is less than 150 € and lasts for several years. Lute disappeared because orchestra grown more and more bigger and "noisy" 🙉... and lute could not follow. Hope it helps.

[@j.p.8811]

This might be a mistranslation since I assume English isn't your native language, but we usually call them "strings" not chords. Chords are usually what we call triads in music.

[@jamestulk4169]

There is also some social and economic history at play here. In the early baroque period, most 'serious' music would have been played in an aristocratic salon - a relatively intimate setting. As the middle classes became more economically prominent, and more desirous of having access to 'high culture', public concerts became more common, with larger concert halls. Orchestras grew in size and composers began to offer more dramatic work. With the increased sound levels, soft-voiced instruments like the lute just couldn't keep up! Thanks however to the magic of recorded music, we can enjoy this wonderfully intimate music "in the comfort of our living room". Artist like Ms. Mascardi can reach large audiences and don't have to rely on the (fickle) patronage of a prince or count!

[@jean-yvesPrax]

Ooops, yes Josh, thank you : string in french is called "corde" a "faux-ami"...

[@j.p.8811]

@@jamestulk4169 That's the only flaw I can see with the guitar is that it's sound doesn't carry like a violin for example. Classical guitarists are forced to amplify their instrument with a microphone if they want their sound to carry in an orchestra setting or something.

[@robertcolucci4137]

I agree completely about being able to just close your eyes and enjoy beautiful music regardless of the genre. Music theory/timing isn’t hard to understand at all some people just like to be snobs about it. Basically there is a divide between musicians about how to perform baroque music. Some people are total sticklers for playing the precise way the sheet music was written.. hence the “music box” reference. There are other people who believe the sheet music was more or less a guideline and free to interpretation. We can only really guess at the composers intentions from earlier music as they are dead and there are no recordings of their music. It’s only my opinion but I feel a lot of the baroque recordings are boring and lacking emotion, as technically skilled as the player might be. Listen to the way Glenn Gould performs The art of the fugue (Bwv 1080) or the two different ways he plays the Goldberg variations if you want to get a better sense of what I was trying to say

This is The Instrument That JS Bach wrote for. I'm a Classical Guitarist. Bach never heard a Guitar in his Life. He heard this.

[@Io-Io-Io]

Guitars existed back then already, the baroque guitar

[@brandonacker]

Just so you know, Bach didn't write for the lute. Evidence suggests he composed on a keyboard instrument called the lautenwerk. To be played on the lute most of these pieces have to be adapted and even keys changed. It's a common myth.

[@jamesandrews8698]

as a guitar player i must have one of these !

[@RicardoMarlowFlamenco]

Bach’s great great grandfather played guitar (cittern) and established the Bach family musical dynasty, of course he heard it before. Bach had a Lute harpsichord that he wrote this stuff on…even a fun story where he made his buddy Weiss sit in the next room cuz he was “shy” playing his “lute” and then blasted through this material on keyboard to trick/impress him.

Time to learn the lute

[@dactylntrochee]

I played this in my late teens and early twenties. I heard many of the masters of the day play it. I don't listen to European music much now, late in life, but KZbin offered, and I clicked. I am amazed at how wooden my picture of this music was until today. No words can describe how captivating this was for me just now. The articulation of every line at every moment was as clear as if I were a child listening to a bedtime story, or watching a movie with a plot laid out naturally and sensibly, but not predictably. This has made my day, if not week and month. Thank you, KZbin, for bringing this to my attention. And thank YOU, Ms Mascard,i for bringing to life some music that I have come to think of as a bit musty and dusty. It was as engaging and accessible to me as Fred Astaire singing Irving Berlin.

By the way it is more efficient to play with closed eyes, I am a beginner and my teacher scold me when I look at the strings. And he is right because when I look at the strings I am slower and make more mistakes... :)

It am not really surprised by this aspect : memorization belongs to her work. Who knows? Maybe she trains 6 hours a day. Think of theater actors memorizing thousand of lines.
