I remember hearing this 40 yrs. ago while sitting in my car. Being a harmonica player, I just couldn't imagine what a glass harmonica was.

[@lohwassergudrun5471]

unglaublich, wie so eine Glasharfe gespielt werden kann! Ich bin fasziniert! Tolle Aufnahme u.schöne Musik@

[@seharris11]

We learned today that Ben Franklin invented this instrument so I had to hear it! What an amazing performance...I wonder how many exist in the world still?! I see that only five people across the globe know how to play it... stunning

[@WienerGlasharmonikaDuo]

you are right, my husband and me (Wiener Glasharmonika Duo) and not more than 4 to 5 people are playing the original Glassarmonica invented by B. Franklin(I don't include musicians playing on Verrophon but wrongly call it Glassarmonica)

[@KylleinMacKellerann]

I have an old Casio keyboard that has the "Armonica" sound in it. Didn't know what that was until I played it and now, I use that setting almost exclusively for classical and even some modern stuff. The sound is amazing, totally amazing...

[@enricochestri]

Fascinating! Always the divine Mozart!

[@johnchessant3012]

Thank you for this uploading +Wiener Glasharmonika Duo Well done to all these interpreters. They dare!

[@brucealanwilson4121]

The flute obbligato for the Mad Scene in Lucia di Lammermoor was originally for glass harmonica. That would sound really spooky!

[@WienerGlasharmonikaDuo]

Indeed! I am looking forward to play it again this winter in Augsburg Oper (Germany)

[@brucealanwilson4121]

Wasn't the Dance ofcthe Sugar Plumb Fairy originally for Glass Harmonica---now played on q celesta?

[@WienerGlasharmonikaDuo]

It was original written for Celesta - a new invention at those time, there were no more Glass Harmonica player and the instrument disappeared...

[@brucealanwilson4121]

@@WienerGlasharmonikaDuo Thanks for the clarification.

[@mach1chap]

This is, I think, the only musical instrument that has to be played with wet hands!

[@madmonk3030]

I don't understand, how does someone become an expert performer with this? What's the related instrument you start with? The instrument seems rare enough that someone would have to already be a recognized musician to even be allowed to play one

[@DommageCollateral]

looks like a keyboard to me. the hardest thing must the attack

[@WienerGlasharmonikaDuo]

I started with violin and played in an austrian orchestra. then I changed and on the glassharmonica you have to do the same as on any other instrument: practising, practising, practising - but I love to play the original Franklinsche Glasharmonika - also Mozarts Compositions for this instrument as well as donizettis Lucia di Lammermoor and nowadays a lot of contemporary music!

[@CarterMuller]

​@@WienerGlasharmonikaDuo is it at all possible to influence the dynamics? And what about articulation (attack but also end of each note)? - I'm fascinated by your instrument!

Da es anscheinend nur noch 5 Menschen auf der ganzen Welt gibt, die Glasharmonika spielen können, sollte man hier ruhig mal respektvoll lauschen.
