Hey, I'm not sure I see this actually. I am usually notified of such comments, but if I go to notifications or I go to comments I don't see any awaiting review...! I've also never had this happen, but I want to help, do you have any more specific instructions?

@ ah no worries :(

Thanks, friend, for always listening and giving comments. Really appreciate the kind words...

Oh thanks very much, Janet! I look forward to meeting you! :)

I can’t tell you how happy this makes me, Roberto. Thanks so much for the multiple listens and the nice words. I’m especially happy things we’ve discussed are clear and you think it’s convincing!! It’s not a science, as much as we’d like to make it that way, and so this kind of confirmation is so valuable.

I really appreciate that!! Thank you!

Hah, thanks Derek. Thanks for listening. Don't you still owe me an email with your recent performance of the violin piece?

Agreed! Love your work too Derek

@ thank you! Do we know each other? :)

@@derekdavid1 not exactly, but my music account is @joshuamusic02 and I have commented on your Kaddish quartet on that account. That quartet has highly inspired me in my own quartet ive been writing for uni atm :)

@@derekdavid1 not personally but i have commented on your ‘kaddish’ string quartet on my music account ‘joshuamusic02’, and that quartet has highly inspired my own string quartet ive been writing for uni this term

Oh my well thanks for listening to it multiple times!!

Lol, yes, thanks for that ;). Same with the 7 chord on D-flat a few bars later.

Thanks for always listening! Thanks for the compliment! I also love Vermeer...! I just searched for "sad baroque paintings" lol...

@@derekdavid1 thanks Maestro :D

Thanks for listening! ❤ appreciate the compliment too :)

Variations on a theme...

@d33j4ybf ive actually hardly listened to this format! i mostly stick to bach forms like preludes, fugues, convertos etc tho i guess the goldber vars are exactly that. cant quite get into it personally, not sure why tho

That was the challenge, I appreciate that very much…! I’ve been having fun lately trying to take very short non-tonal collections of notes and wrestle them into a baroque shape…

Thank you! Thanks for the listen!

Thanks for listening! Yes it’s a good reference book…I thought it would be something a bit different, frankly…

Hey thanks for the listen and vote of confidence!

Thanks for listening, really appreciate it! The harpsichord is new: A Mietke copy built by Yves and Benoît Beaupré in Montréal. It was an unseasonably humid morning which the harpsichord likes. Part of the reason I chose to record it then!

Well thank you!! <3 <3

Hah, it's a bit hard to recognize, isn't it?

I don't recognize it, but I'm sure some people will. Curious what it is :)

@@TimondeNoodIt’s the jingle for when you solve a puzzle in The Legend of Zelda

Thanks so much for listening and for the kind compliment!

Oh my thanks so much for the beautiful words!! And I very much appreciate the advice…I will make several more pictures of the score and zoom in more, good idea. I made the images high resolution so they could be zoomed in on or stretched but that doesn’t seem to work for some reason…

​@@parallelfifths2824I can view them perfectly well, but I need to look carefully. Here is how I do it: I have a template in paint that fits the youtube format (1920×1080). I take screenshots of my scores in pdf and paste them in this frame, usually two systems per shot.

Hah! Thanks! You know, I had a harpsichord teacher who used to refer to those kinds of moments with the same word. We paid special attention to the ones that happen at the ends of sections in Frescobaldi, for example. He used the metaphor that you're driving on the highway and all of the parts of your car start falling off...! It stuck with me.

Thanks so much! That was the experiment....

Thanks, Timothy. Kind of you, as always, to return to my music. I'm flattered.

Really glad it was helpful for you! :)

Practice, like everything else! Thanks for watching and for the compliment :).

Check out the video on passing tones...! This is a good start.

@@parallelfifths2824 Oh ok, but after that, how could i learn more? I'm studying Handel's exercises for princess Anna and i'm going to later study Furno's partimento treatise, is that how can i improvise like the way thst is shown here?

​@@L_S_Barros Assuming you already have keyboard fluency, you first need to understand how to organize harmonies in a logical way, and build this foundation of a phrase reliably. Then you need a theory of how to decorate harmonies and a practice regimen for these "diminutions". On top of that you need to make sure your melodies/decorations come out meaningfully, follow from one another, and are not simply random tricks, so you need to study composition. And on top of all of this a good series of etudes to get there...! So until my book comes out in 30 years, you should find a teacher who knows what to do ! The resources for this kind of thing are slim and surface-level.

​@@L_S_Barros Play lots of continuo, play lots of repertoire, write a huge amount of music, improvise every day.

Well thanks very much, I'll take that compliment and run!

Hey there, glad to have you here! I use Finale for composition, but in my videos for the handwritten stuff I use ProCreate.

Oh my gosh...thanks, Carl. This absolutely made my day 🥲

The thing that's tasteless here is mostly that I'm doing so much stuff. It's possible to 'noddle' a bit with your right hand when you're trying to fill in a gap, or add some rhythmic life to things, but if you are noodling in the domain of the melodic instrument, you're really erring.

Thank you so much !

Thanks for the compliment and thanks for listening!

Thank you very much! Thanks for listening!

Thank you!!

No, thank you!

Oh my gosh! So many nice words! Thank you!!

@@parallelfifths2824 I know a good thing when I hear it! May you continue to create and perform such vibrant music. The world needs it! I also checked out some of your scores on IMSLP. Thank you for sharing so generously!

@@MusicaAngela Oh my gosh, of course...I only charge if people commission me, but I try to make everything I write freely available afterward! Thanks so much for checking it out!

Oh that's so nice!! Thank you so much!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and for your nice words!!
