Ton Koopman, music theory and English subtitles = perfection Innumerable thanks to the AmsterdamBaroque for this and other videos.

What a privilege to learn from the great Ton Koopman! Thank you and a blessed Easter.

[@erroll9621]

I know I can't be the only young person in the world whose soul burns with passion for music of the Renaissance and Baroque and who wants so badly to learn to play continuo well and play with ensembles! Please keep sharing your knowledge with us!

[@lucaogliari2912]

Better study the music of Bruckner, Wagner and Richard Strauss. More complex and difficult than most of the music who performs Mr Koopman. Trust me.

[@erroll9621]

@@lucaogliari2912 I'm well aware of the delights of those composers-complexity and difficulty are, however, not the two criteria I measure music by. Music of the Baroque and late Renaissance is, to me at least, much more beautiful and honest.

[@scottblair3719]

Luca Ogliari, for someone seeking to learn continuo playing, Buckner, Wagner, and Strauss have nothing to impart.

You are not :)

We get to hear the voice of expertise behind the wonderful interpretations

Deze vlogs zijn goud waard. Ik kan echt uren en uren naar maestro Ton Koopman luisteren.

[@FranekComposes]

What an absolute pleasure coming across this video this morning! Many thanks for sharing this priceless video with the Master.

I saw him 4 years ago, in Bachelona festival in Spain ! What a pleasure!

Thank you very much for your inspirational videos!

[@chrislang1950]

Dank je wel Ton, het was weer erg verhelderend. Ik kijk ook nog steeds uit naar de vlog over het kerkorgel, maar ik heb geduld.

[@barney6888]

Priceless viewing. Wonderful.

[@kmgdemortimermcintosh230]

Outstanding Mr Coopman! I have just listened to your embellishments with the Minuete in G by Bach from Anna Magdalena's nite book. There is a real science to the art of embellishment that I can only think you have improvised along certain rules. I would love to know more about this style. Regards.

[@FriedrichVanGott]

dankje wel voor de video

[@adbouwmanagement7546]

En voor ons is het een grote eer om naar Ton Koopman in zijn werkkamer te mogen luisteren....!

[@walterjoosten5750]

En ik vind het een grote eer Ton Koopman in ons midden te hebben: in mijn ogen de beste leerling van Gustav Leonhardt. Een grandioos musicus en een zeer aimabel mens. Hopelijk blijft hij nog heel lang actief in de muziekwereld.

[@studioROT]

Hartelijk dank voor deze vlog, heer Koopman - groet van een fagotist in Ierland die de Basso Continuo nooit goed onder knie heeft kunnen krijgen.

[@uhoh007]

The master's fingers inspire! "You are free to do what you want...." To supplement historical understanding, try Derek Remes, and his free dissertation on Bach's pedagogy, and the many recent studies of Partimento.

Passionnant!

Grande Mestre!

[@gilgermesch]

Sorry to contradict, but Heinichen's treatises *are* mostly about basso continuo. Improvisation and composition were given a few chapters only! Virtually all German basso continuo sources after 1728 mention Heinichen with great respect, saying what great books the man wrote on Basso Continuo! JSB himself sold copies of Heinichen's second treatise in his own home!

Can anyone tell me which section of St. Matthew's Passion the figured bass played at 5:01 is from?

[@andrewrao2069]

I think it’s no. 33, from pt. 2 (“Und wiewohl viel falsche Zeugen herzutraten …”).

[@1967born]

Ik versta geen woord Nederlands, maar het is net zo interessant.

There are english subtitles!

He is'not always aimabel sometimes he is even ruth . If the media is there of course he's gentle. But undisputed one of the best player and conductors ther is.
