Thank you sir for your piano work. I am about to see my grandmas funeral in 2 hours with my friends and this piece is very calming. You are very talented sir. I miss my grandma and she taught me “When you share it comes back double fold!” In other words when someone does an act of service it creates good karma. I am grateful she was such an awesome grandma and I hope she is happy wherever her soul is now.
My fourth uncle had a Japanese girlfriend and this was her favorite piece. When I was a kid she sometimes went to my home to play this piece. Out of curiosity I also learned this piece from her even though I did not know this piece’s name for years since it’s written in Japanese. Now, time flies, whenever I play this song I think of her. It is an amazing feeling that my path crossed with someone and just left with one thing to remember.
The allemandes from French Suites 2 and 5 are some of my favorites by Bach. So beautiful. #3 is also one I like, but for some reason only on harpsichord. Nice playing Paul, as usual. You are an inspiration!
When I was at music school I neved loved to plya Bach, it was a must for me...But with the years I understand that Bach was a real genious!!! Beautiful melody and beautiful presentation. Thank you!!!
Magnifique interprétation ! Merci pour cette écoute de Bach si bien inspiré ... Dans une série- film : Passeur d'enfants au Maroc ,une suite de Bach était jouée (à 49 mn)... Je serais ravie de connaitre le n° de cette pièce qui ressemblait à la votre ?
Am I the only one that noticed that he aimed at completing the beethoven sonatas at 2020, but probably considering the circumstances he didn't find enough time? I hope Paul finds time to complete the goal eventually,
I am currently studying this piece and was confused since every version i listened to had the left hand play things that didn't show in my Urtext edition. At least, that what i thought but it turns out my book actually has two versions of this piece. Your video shows the notes for one of those, but you play the other one :) (At 2:55 in the left hand)
It was the original clef that was used in the manuscript source. It was once important to be able to sight-read way more clefs than we do today and most pianists can't read the C clef fluently.
@@anantkerur557 Who asked the question didn't mean the capital C which is a tempo (or time) marking but the so called C-clef ("clef" is the french word for "key") that is printed before everything else on the upper stave - G-clef, right hand, mostly, for the pianist. Neither do I know what it means, I do think it means something though. But let me ask a different question: This piece is in C minor, so three flats - B, E and A - so why only two, as for G minor? Cheers.
@@ff516 In the baroque era, music was just starting to transition from modes to keys. Early baroque composers (and "old-fashioned" ones like Bach) would use the Dorian signature (missing a flat or having an extra sharp) so they didn't have to mark every melodic major 6th, which is important in counterpoint to prevent a leap from the 6th to the leading 7th.
No. C minor. Tonality wasn’t developed fully yet in the baroque period. Bach was thinking in C dorian mode not aeolian and added all a flats with accidentals.
please play the music as written. when there is a note on the page, it must be held for the full value. the key must remain pressed down. you may have to swap a finger without releasing the depressed key. it can be quite tricky but with a small amount of practice you'll be able to observe and play music like a real musician! unless there are invisible unnotated rests in your version? i understand interpretation and that Bach did not write instructions in the typical fashion, i understand the acceptable use of half-staccato in Bach at the player's discretion. i am also a performer and have been classically trained, but somehow i hold the keys down when the music requires it, which in Bach is practically always.

Well done. Even better than take 1.

hi can you tell me what form of this piece? Three parts(A-B-A) or Two parts (A-B) ?
Good morning everybody.
Que bonito!
Have ever thought of doing Henry Purcell Dido and Aeneas. I love the peice your playing.
That's an opera, not exactly a piano piece
@@DangerRussDayZ6533 There is a thing called transcribing for piano. There many different variations on this pieces out there.
Awesome playing. It sounds great!
Btw. what does that c-clef at the beginning mean?
It stands for Common Time or essentially 4/4 time
It was the original clef that was used in the manuscript source.
It was once important to be able to sight-read way more clefs than we do today and most pianists can't read the C clef fluently.

@@mantictac Perfect answer, I felt there shoud be a reason like that.
And what about the C-clef?
Thank you very much.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎹🎶🎹🎶🎹🎶🥰🥰🥰🥰 wonderful
What key is this in?? G minor? But it ends in C?
No. C minor. Tonality wasn’t developed fully yet in the baroque period. Bach was thinking in C dorian mode not aeolian and added all a flats with accidentals.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
i really can't think of any other way of playing this song. i would say the repetition reparte needs to be played differently
All the pop music in the world can't compete with even the shortest piece of Bach!
It's not a competition.
It's freedom of choice.
It's music.
please play the music as written. when there is a note on the page, it must be held for the full value. the key must remain pressed down. you may have to swap a finger without releasing the depressed key. it can be quite tricky but with a small amount of practice you'll be able to observe and play music like a real musician! unless there are invisible unnotated rests in your version?

you must be kidding.😂
